Toms RIVER, Sept. 81, 1S92.-John ].
Gardner. of Atlantic county, was nom
mated by the Second District Republican
Convention here today. Mr.. Gardner's
only opponent was ex-Assemblyman
Thomas j. Alcott, of Burlington county.
But one ballot was taken. The vote
Was:-Gardner, 1903; Alcott, 81. 1t was
supposed that Gardner would be nom-
mated by reclamation. hut 1t appeared
that there was great opposition to General
Sewell's man. Captain Kirkbride, 1.-The
Medford Blacksmith" who nominated
General Grubb at the late GubernatoriaI
convention, seconded Mr.. Alcott's nomiu-
alton in speech which made1th blood of
the machine men run cold.
He said he had heard that few of Mr..
Alcott's followers had been lured away,
and he bad determined to administer
rebuke TO the alleged foreign influence, !"
which had done pretty good service for
the Burlington county favorite. ln max
ing his speech the Captain said he was
sorry to say it, but he felt it to be his duty
to point out the fact, plain to every ybody.
that foreign influence had been at work
upon the convention aud that it would
make the nomination. He thought, as
everybody would think. he said. at a
glance that the convention was in
tell1geDt enough TO make ITS own
nominations: but another plain fact
which struck the captain forcbly was
that the people who were urging the
nomination of the Atlantic county can
didaie were officeholders by large ma
jority. 1t WAS this sort of conduct in Re-
publican conventions, he said. that was
sappiDg the vitality of the Republican
party. Having said these truthful but
unkind things OF the party, the CAPTAIN
complimented Benjamin Woodson and
John Kean, Jr, and seconded Mr. Al
colts nomination.
