REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION.
A ROUSING DEMONSTRATION
LAST EVENING.
The BridgetOn Republicans are
Ala Enthusiasm ana Mean
to WIN.

The first news of the nomination oil
Benjamin Harrison for President Of
the United States, was given to the
public in Bridgeton Friday night by
the PIONEER special telephone bulletin.
immediately the word got around,
and smiling faced Republicans were
found everywhere, and the Republi-
can Club soon had out their magnif-
cent flag out across Commerce street,
at the intersection of Pearl.
At half past seven O'Clock the Re-
publican headquarters were ablaze
with colored fires. and the City Band,
in full uniform were coon out, and a
procession of Republicans was formed
and short parade was made, and the
masses then surged back to the hall,
which was soon packed to overflow
ing.
The Band played inspiring music
and President Bodine called the meet
ing to order, and introduced Hon. T.
w. Trenchard as the first speaker.
The popular young lawyer received an
ovation as he walked to the centre of
the hall, and he seemed inspired to
the importance of the occasion, and
he made an eloquent and high
ly enthusiastic address, and al
most at every sentence he was
cheered and heartily applauded, He
spoke of the Republican party as the
political organization, which during
thirty or more long and eventful years
had been equal to the occasion of run
ming this great government. 1t had
handled ell grave questions, domes-
tic and foreign, with rare skill. He
spoke of the martyred Lincoln, the
great soldier, Grant, the peerless
statesman, Blaine, and the successful
soldier, President Benjamin Harrison.
In comparison he reviewed some of
the history and men of Democracy,
and asked the question What great
issue or thing is that hint onT' and
soldier in the audience yelled out
BILLY Thompson" and the great ap-
plause and laughter followed the sally.
More than once Mr.. Trenchard es-
sayed to stop, but the audience cried
"Go on, go on, you are doing well,"
and finally in q superb, patriotic and
eloquent peroration. the young ex.As-
semblyman closed, and the cheering
and applause which followed was con.
tinued for several minutes.
Other speeches were made by G. K.
Barnhart. Postmaster Hewitt, Will
liam Leach, Mr.. virgins and Prof.
Hitchner, and the audience was CALLED
upon to cheer again and again for
President Harrison.

THOUGHT HIM DROWNED.
But Johnnie Buck Returns TO
His FOster-parents Alter
Nineteen Years.

About twenty years ago Mr.. M. s.
Mathis, a glass worker, of this city,
lived at Green Bank, a lively village
on the north bank of Little Egg Har-
Dor river, in Burlington county. He
had then, among his other children, a
young man by the name of John Buck
living with him, who he had adopted
years before as his son. The Young
man was then about twenty years OF
age, and, about this time had had an
opportunity offered him OF going to
sea on one of the coasters which some
times ascended the Egg Harbor river.
With the consent of his foster parents,
he sailed away, and after little while
word came back that their Johnnie
was drowned.
For years they mourned him as lost,
for he was as their own son.
Last Monday man came to Mr..
Mathis home on South Pearl Street,
stalwart sailor looking man, about in
middle life, He soon made himself
known as their lost foster son now 80
years of age, who had left their home
nineteen years before.
He had been following the seas, ten
years he had been in the China seas.
A few days ago he landed in Boston
and instituted search for his foster
folks at Greenbank. They were gone.
He came to Philadelphia, and after a
good deal of search he was at last re-
warded by locating the family in this
city, and he was not long in finding
his way here.
There has been rejoicing in the
Mathis family since his arrival last
Monday until yesterday. Then there
was weeping. Johnnie had to return
to Boston. But before he went he left
solid chunks of happiness behind. His
foster-parents received handsome pres
ents. To sister he gave handsome
$40 gold watch, pair of diamond ear
rings and $13 in cash, to another a
diamond ring, to another diamond
pin, and to the baby handsome rings

LINGO's sEdOND TRIAL.
Judge Garrison Will Sit Alone
The Negroes Chances Inn
proved.

1 CAMDEN, n. j., June s 1t has beeu
learned that the order of the Supreme
Court granting new trial to Francis
| Lingo, convicted of the murder of Mrs
| Annie Miller, places the trial entirely
under The control of Supreme Court
Justice Garrison.
The case will come up In the Circuit
Court, where Justice Garrison sits
alone. The previous trial was in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, where
the three County Judges also occupied
seats on the bench.
Justice Garrison's doubts as to the
couclusiveness of the evidence of Lin
go's guilt in the first trial led him, it is
said, to urge his associates on the Su-
preme Bench to grant the negro an
other trial.
On the motion OF d new trial, the
TOUR Judges before whom Lingo was
tried, were evenly divided on the de-
clsion, and the appeal was therefore
taken to the Supreme Court. Judge
Uarrlson, 1t is said, was one of the two
favoring q new trial.
In the coming trial, as Judge Gar
rlson will sit alone, it is believed by
many that the negro's chances for &C.
quittal are improved.
The order for the second trial uro-
Vldesl that 1t should be held at the pre-
sent session of court. Inasmuch, how
ever, as this would not give the de-
fendant sufficient notice for prepara-
tion, Judge Garrison has allowed the
case to go over until the October term.
when it will probably be one of the
first cases moved.

hearty approval of the delegates from

Senators Teller, Wolcott; and Jones

they find it cause for congratulation.

votes for Mckinley, the later voting
himself for Harrison. Mr.. Quay pur
suant to his promise, gave 40 votes
from Pennsylvania. fhe remainder o
the Mckinley vote was small aud
scattering. The intention was TO tav4
grad ually added 10 the Mckinley
boom on subse qutns ballots, but the
Harrison men built so we'll that only
one ballot was possible. The result
shows that they have thoroughly un-
derstood their strength and position
from the beginning.
The speeches incident to the presen-
tatiou of the candidates were of a high
order. The general opinion is that
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, who
presented Biaine's name, made an i'm
preston. He was brief, graceful and
SO earnest that he infused the gaIlaries
with his OWL spirit. Indeed, the Blaine
men had the gallaries from the very
start But, as Mr.. Depew laconically
remarked: ''You can have the gal
laries; we have the vote" Uncle Dick
Thompson, the eighty-three'y year old
statesmen from Indiana, who present
ed,Harrison, made splendid impress
sion.
Depew, of course, was good, but the
audience had primed itself upto expect
50 much that it was disappointed. For
an old campaigner, he allowed himself
to make two breaks that caused the
Convention to go into an unroar The
first WAS when he exclaimed; WHO
carried New York in 1882 Instantly
there was shout in which the Penn
sylvanians led off "Quay, Quay" The
other was when, after enumerating
the qualifications needed for the nom
inee, he asked: ''And who is that
man@ The crowd caught it up at
once and shouted blaine, Blaine" :"
The perfect organization of the Harri-
son men was the only thing that pre-
vented regular stampede to Blaine.
The people in the hall were going
wild over Blaine's name. The Harri-
son men sat as quiet and unmovable
as blocks of marble. They had been
we'll drilled and knew what they were
there for. At one time q wave of
Blaine enthusiasm swept the hall that
lasted over twenty minutes. 1t might
have lasted that many hours for all
the effect it had on the Harrison con-
tiugent. They never fiinched or wav-
cred once.
To Texas belongs the honor of cast
ing the deciding votes that made the
nomination. At this point the con-
fusion was indescribable, and while it
was going on Mckinley left the chair
for the purpose of moving to make it
unanimous. All eyes were on McKin-
ley when the attempt was made to
stampede the Convention. He was
helpless in the chair

Has Arrived Home.

Major Daniel Elmer, who was a del.
egate to the Minneapolis Convention,
arrived in this city Monday, coming
direct from the Western city. He
speaks of the Convention as one of the
greatest political gatherings one could
imagine. He says the New Jersey
delegation had the best seats in the
Convention. and was right in it from
the very beginning. The Major talks
huskily, and it Is pretty evident that
he must have cheered himself hoarse.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
A Little Fellow Named Mead has
q Narrow Escape.

Saturday afternoon about FIVE
o'clock little son of Ashbrook Mead,
was playing on the wharf in the rear
of Carlps building, with another little
fellow. In some way he fell off the
wharf and into the Cohansey.
His screams, and the cries of his
playmate attracted the attention of
Capt. Charles Woodruff of Anderson's
store, and he rushed down to the river,
and succeeded in pulling the little fell
low out, just in time to save his life.
The boy was Immediately taken home
and given in charge of his parents.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 10.-The die hasu
been cast, and Benjamin Harrison, of
Indiana, will again come before the
American people for their suffrages in
November next as the Republican
candidate for President. The result OF
sthe Convention was no great surprise,
and for the past eighteen hours in this
city has been regarded as certainty
Until midnight of Wednesday the
fight seemed to belong to any man,
but after that hour the Blaine mana,
gers admitted that the nomination OF
the man from MAINE was utterly out
of the question. They privately con.
ceded that Harrison was as certain to
be the winner as anything in politics
could be.
Although defeated they were not
dismayed, and determined to stand by
their guns to the last. Just before the
convention assembled, however, they
began to seriously consider the ques.
tion of third man. Major Mckinley
was agreed on as the man. The first
step in the program was to sound
Ohio. The state up to this proceeding
has been evenly divided between
Blaine and Harrison, with ex Cover
nor Foraker as the leader of the anti
Harrison forces and Governor McKin
ley as the head of the Harrison M n
The Blaine men were delighted to find
that Foraker was willing to turn in TO,

because he loved Harrison less.
