WORK OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS
Strong South Jersey Nominations
Cleveland Leaves New York.

As slated in the extra edition OF THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS last evening, Judge
William d. Daily of Hoboken was nomi-
mated for State Senator at the Senatorial
Convention held in the afternoon. As
sistant Prosecutor Joseph NJ. Noonan
named Senator HudspeJh. and to the dis
appointment of many of the delegates,
the Senator declined the nomination. In
doing SO he said
Mr.. Chairman and fellow Democrats
What 1 am about to say will not be a
surprise. My position regarding the
Senatorial nomination is known to all of
you. I did intend to have sent you a
formal letter. but preferred to meet the
Democratic representatives of Hudson
county on the floor of this convention
hall and give an account Of my steward
ship, l am compelled to ask that my
name be Withdrawn as candidate for re-
nomination. / have decided, after due
reflection, auG after a thorough examina-
tion of the conditions that surround the
contest, that 1t is not advisable for me to
go before the convention. Had / been
nominated would be obliged 20 decline.
l have concluded that am not an avail
able candidate at this moment No mans
lnent. should stand in the way of the sue
cess OF his party. The party and prin-
ciples and candidates should receive the
enthusiastic and unanimous approval OF
the people. hold that public Office is
public trust. Every man holding Office,
be he Democrat or Republican, Is respon-
slble to his constituents.
NO APOLOGIES TO OFFER.
~ have reached this conclusion without
any fntimation from any member of the
Democratic party; no one has advised me
that my candidacy would not be advis-
able. feel that my vote on Assembly
bill Nc. 4e9, dubbed by the press the Coal
Combine dill. has rendered my candidacy
unpopular. The character of that bill
has been misrepresented. 1t has been
said that the action of rhe Legislature is
responsible for the advance in the price OF
Coal
'I voted for the bill. believed it to be
nnerItorious measure. May my right
hand lose its cunning and my tongue
cling to my mouth if voted for that bill
for any Interior reason. No bill that
would cause the increase in the price OF
coal was passed by the Legislature. No
com blnation was approved, and no bill
authorizing a coal combine became a
law. If a combination exists it existed
before the Legislature acted on the bill
in question"
Cheers and applause greeted Mr.. Huds-
peth when he had finished and the dele
gates crowded around him TO shake his
hand and tell him how they regretted his
action.
JUDGE DAILY NOMINATED.
Mr.. Noonan then withdrew the name of
Mr.. Hudspeth and Mr.. James F. Minturn
of Hoboken placed Judge William D.
Daily Of Hoboken in nomination in one of
the most eloquent speeches ever heard in
the hall. William Fl. Speer. Jr., sec
onded the nomination in speech which
demonstrated that that am bilious young
man has plenty Of assurance of his abil-
ity.
Judge Daily was unanimously nomi-
mated on roll call and when he had been
escorted to the hall by committee, he
said:
''Mr Chairman and gentlemen of the
Convention, little did anticipate yester-
day morning when / left my home to at
tend TO my business that would receive
at your hands this unanimous nomiua-
ton. Much rather would have bad the
honor to stand upon the platform and ad-
vocate the election of him who repre-
seuted you so ably last winter, or some
other equally good Democrat. This om-
1nation comes 10 me unsolicited. 1 was
satisfied with what the party had done
for me, and was willing to work out
my term of Office and retire to the ranks
of the Democracy to work again with
yoH.
Il accept the nomination. and with
your aid will be your Sc ator next year.
and differsnces should be buried and
we should present united front to the
enemy. Much indignity has been
heaped upon us because the Re-
publican party has left Us legacies in the
shape of duties to perform aud debts to
pay. When the Republican party went
out of power in this city they left debt
of between $6.s00,00O and 1.0O0. 600
unpaved streets ana bad public buildings.
For this we are blamed.
IF 1 90 to the Legislature. go un-
pledged TO any clique OF men, and 1 will

of the people. / hope and trust, when
my term has expired, the people in my
party will have no fault to find with the
manner in which l DISCHARGED nay duty.

uished fellow citizen, Robert Hudspeth,

any candidate they may nominate against
