NEWARK, Aug. 25, 1692.-The popular
revolt against Mr.. James Smith, Jr.,
and his proposition to cram personal
candidate for Governor down the throats
of the voters of New Jersey is rapidly
spreading throughout this county. or
late this determination OF the people to
break away from the bosses and nomi-
nate candidate Of their own has begun
to take definite shape, and has mani
tested itself through the channels of the
regularly organized associations Of the
different Assembly districts. AS the
movement against Mr.. Smith aud his die
tatorial methods grows. so the sentiment
in favor of the nomination of Ed Iard f.
C. Young. of Jersey City, increases. Even
at this early day in the contest the people
are beginning to demand that Mr.. Young
be given them as a candidate.
A significant straw showing the direc-
ton of the political wind here just now,
was the meeting Tuesday night of the
Democratic Association of the Eleventh
Ward. which forms part of the Seventh
Assembly district. In this ward is q large
number OF prosperous tradesmen and
laboriug men who are deeply interested
in having the affairs of the State in the
hands of an able matter of fact business
man. The meeting was largely attended
and William Clymer, a prominent pro-
duce dealer, presided. William B. Far
quar-, a boss carpenter. spoke. He de-
nounced Boss Smith in unstinted terms.

was over in Essex county. He eulogized
Mr.. Young and said that of all the men
mentioned in connection with the Gov
ernorship he was 1a the best position and
the best qualified to rid the State of the
bosses.
MR.. YOUNG ENDORSED.
A resolution endorsing Mr.. Young's
candidacy was introduced and unani-
mously adopted with much enthusiasm.
This section of the district sends sixteen
delegates to the convention. all of which
will be for Mr.. Young.
Trouble is also brewing for the bosses
in the First district. This district oc-
cupies that section of the eastern part of
the city which is tapped by the Newark
generally supposed to be one of the tight
est pocket boroughs that the Water
Works ring possessed. But of late NUT
terings of discomfort have been heard in
that region and it will require all the
persuasive and other influence which the
ring possesses TO keep it In line. 1t is even
said that the bosses will be unable to do

supporters in the district who will assert
themselves when the convention meets.
GAINING GROUND IN THE TOWNSHIPS.
The Young movement is also making
large inroads into the townships of the
county. The more the people become ac-
quainted with Mr.. Young's many quail
tiles and learn Of his superior standing In
the business world the harder they think
that is just the man wanted at this time
for Governor. The rapid progress whic
Mr.. Young's candidacy has made in Es-
sex county during the past few weeks
has caused Mr.. James Smith, Jr., and
the lesser bosses more apprehen-
sion than they will admit even to
themselves. The truth of the matter is
started in with his gross misrepresenta-
tion in his private New Jersey edition to
kill Mr.. Yo ung as a candidate. Not only
has he fai led In that but ne has SO we'll
succeeded in running all chances his can
didate, Ju dge kirkpatrick, had of OBJ
tanning the nomination and he is now

is not the kind of Governor these Essex
bosses want. They want to be the real
Governor; the men who stand behind the
statue and pull the strings which make
the image act. 1t is said that they have
concluded that Kirkpatrick cannot secure
the nomination and they are not secretly
at work trying to find a candidate who
will meet their requirements to whom
1t may be after they have given the judge
the compliment of vote on the first bal
lot. With this object in view they have
emissaries secretly at work in almost
every county of the State studying the
situation.
IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.
In the meantime the sentiment favor
ing the nomination of Mr.. Young is grow
ing in all parts of he Stale in spite of the
INSCRIPTIONS methods employed to des-
troy it. He has of late developed much
strength in Burlington and will un-
doubtedly secure the large majority if
not all of the delegates from that county.
Burlington, like Essex, is burdened with
ring of bosses who have been riding
rough shod over the wishes of a great
part OF the Democratic party of the
