TRENTON, Sept. IA, 1892--It is glori-
ously bright day here today. The
prospects of Mr.. Young rose with the
rising sun and are as bright as the beauti-
full day, which greeted the tired boomers
when they left their rooms this morning.
While the Donnslly men. the Cutler
men and the Werts men were shouting
and trying to rake in votes by the usual
liquid methods of conventions, the Young
men were silently at work with solid
arguments making inroads into the
Werts' columns, and they succeeded so
well that this morning James Smith,
Billy Thompson aud their fellows are
coquetting with their Cutler men, and
they approached Ben Lee during the
night They were told by him. however.
that if they nominated him. another con-
vention would have to be called.
THE wERTs BOOM ARRIVES.
About ten O'Clock great mob Of boys
and men wearing Wsrts badges and car
rying lithogrsphs of the Judge on sticks
marchediinto town. There WAS squad
of colored men with them. They brought
with them a band which almost drove the
city crazy. The South Jersey men con-
tinued to arrive In sections until it looked
as H ala South Jersey had been dumped
into Trenton.
ARRIVING DELEGATIONS.
The Hudson men put in an appearance
about eleven O'Clock with Young badges
and created much enthusiasm. The
same crowd of Paterson toughs who
raised all the disturbance in the last Con.
vention bowling for Gourley arrived
just after the Hudson men with
a drum corps. They were loaded
with enthusiasm and other things
and If they are admitted to the hall they
will attempt to repeat the same disgrace
full scenes there were at the May Conven-
ton. Newark's delegation, headed by
the First Brigade Board, marched by the
Trenton House soon after the Paterson
crowd. They were fine looking body OF
men.
GATHERING OF THE CLANS
The usual procession of delegates from
the Trenton House to the Opera House
was formed at noon. The Opera House
was far more tastefully decorated with
bunting than yesterday. Hudson and
Essex were seated in the back part of the
orchestra under the galleries. Passaic
was directly in front of the balcony
Two large banners, one bearing
the words "South Jersey Democ.
racy; The Peoples Cheice fol
Governor, George L. Werts," and the
other, pictures of Cleveland and Stevenson
and Werts were brought into the hall
and carried around while the band played
yankee Doodle" and the "Star Spangled
Banner" The crowd cheered, but the
eering was short lived, and the move
ment failed to arouse the theatrical scene
expected.
OPENING THE BALL.
Allan L. McDermott stepped to the
footlights at 1926 to call the Convention
10 order. The applause which greeted
him was very feeble. He said that as il
was known that he was Ia partisan of one
of the men named he would refrain from
making a speech, lest 1t be said that he
used his position to further the nomina
tion of that man. He referred to the
Gourley-Hinchliffe row in Passaic, re
hearsed the action of the meeting of the
State Committee and said that the Gour-
ley men would be given seats.
= BERGEN TO PRESIDE.
Speaker Bergen was made temporary
Chairman. He said that when the nom
ination was made all differences would
be healed and all would march shout er
to shoulder against the common
enemy. He spoke of the glorious record
of the Democratic party in the State dur
: ing the past quarter of the century. He
told what progress the State had made
materially without ceat Of State tax
He denounced the high tariff and the
Force Bill.
THE PAssAIc ROW.
Sammy Thompson. of Warren, at
tempted to take the floor, and in spite ol
Bergen's obvious opposition. he moved
that the Passsic delegation should not
vote until the Committee on Credentials
had reported.
Then the trouble broke out.
Gourley forthwith protested, and his
crowd began to howl. Mr.. Bergen said
that if Mr.. Gourley could not keep his re-
tainers in order. the galleries would be
cleared. The motion was carried amid
great applause. Warren is for Young
and this was first blood for the Jersey
City banker.
