date for Office. When he wakes up the
next morning and glances over all the
morning papers he Will find himself pos
ing as the originator of political schemes
that in the matter of deviltry the devil
can't hold candle to. [Applausel. We
put Major Pangborn in the witness box.
He has frequently exposed the corroup-
tion of the leaders Of his own party.
Two weeks ago he said:-'No one
can say word against the
personal character of Allan l.. McDer-
mott. This places upon him the burden
OF explanation of why he don't come out
and support Mr.. McDermott. IApplause].
Now as to Mr.. MCGEE or Mr.. On Jee-I
acknowledge Pm a little perpleXed as to
how the bearers of that signature parts
his name-is posing as powerful yet
unconscious humorist. 2. Farmer and
j. Flavell There is something very clas-
sical and imposing IN this style of nomen-
clature. 1t carries us back to the days of
p. Cornelius Scipio and @. Horatius
Flaccus, and it wouldn't surprise me
greatly to see Mr.. MCGEE yet signing his
name p. O'Flatus Flitus. Laughter and
applause eau think OF nothing more
beautiful than this man holding up his
hands with holy horror and turning the
whites of his eyes to this same ceiling in
the Republican convention of a few days
ago, filling this hall with his pro-
testations at the nomination by the
people OF Allan Il. McUermoLG.
wANsER'S sANCTITY.
"There were some people who object to
McDermott because he doesn't make 1t a
practice to walk down the streets with
couple of Sunday school banners floating
from his broad shoulders. II the Re-
publican's are running P. Farmer on the
strength Of his general reputation for
sanctity. they won't run him very far.
There are some people who believe in the
doctrine or Preterition-a doctrine that
teaches that some people are created
solely for the purpose of being damned.
This will be consoling to Mr.. Wanser-at
least the day after election, because it
will account for the existence of large
number of his friends and advisers"
A TRIBUTE TO LEON ALBEIT.
"The Democracy of New Jersey has
hailed with acclaim the man who is to be
our next representative in the United
States Senate. Tremendous applause. ]
Need l name him in this presence? He is
man whose power in our State is
| foundation of public confidence and
esteem. AS political chieftain he has
proved himself matchless and supreme.
| Whenever in New Jersey the tocsin calls
the Democratic hosts to arms, his place is
at the head of the column. [Great ap-
plause.] And when the foe is met and
| the battle wakes hot, there in the thickest
| before him, is always seen the familiar
and stalwart form of our great Demo
cratic Governor and next United States
| Senator, Leon Albeit" Cheers and
wild. continuous applause.]
THE CHESTNUT CANDIDATE.
Returning to Colonel Wanser, the
| speaker said he ought to get a salary as q
| perpet ual candidate. AT least, the Re-
| publican managers ought to provide him
| with shoe leather or bicycle. "They
| ought to divide up his name into p. F.,
| Peter F. and Peter Farmer, and run him
| for Assembly. Mayor and Alderman. The
| honor of the joke of nominating him for
| Mayor belongs to Johnny Brennan.
| Johnny has only one thing now TO do tc
| complete his joke, and that is to betake
himself off to Minneapolis and nominate
| p. Farmer for President"
| The meeting adjourned amid the
| laughter and hilarious applause pro
