NEWARK, Aug. 29.-Last nights issue
of EVERY EVENING was eagerly awaited
here, that the outcome Of the Demo-
cratic State convention might be known.
While Newark people were naturally
disappointed that neither one of its
local candidates for the nomination was
able to bring the nomination back i'll
his pocket" us one of them boosted he
would, yet they united in declaring that
a strong candidate has been decided
upon in Mr.. Bancroft and one that
would poll the largest party vote, all
things considered. There is Ito doubt
whatever of his receiving most loyal
support from the friends Of Messrs.
.Cooch and Handy, as well as of those
gentlemen themselves. Although un-
known personally here Mr.. Tunnel has
hosts of strong admirers in White Clay
Creek hundred. Democratic leaders say
the hundred vote will be as soundly
Democraticas ever and probably more SO.

the Upper Court.

Andrew j. Horsey, SewelI whitiock and
Henry Pryor win Try Their Chances in
the Upper Court
Peter l.. Cooper, Jr., appeared in mu.
nicipal court yesterday in behalf Of
Andrew j. Horsey, Sewell Whitlock
and Henry Pryor, and asked leave
to waive hearing for the upper court.
Mr.. Cooper asked that the bail bonds be
made as light as possible. Judge Ball
said the amount of bail had been de.
cidcd upon in such cases and the old
ruling Of 81, 900 bail in each case would
prevail.
"Don't you think the ruling an out
rageous one ard one that ought to be
overruled2 ?" Mr.. Cooper asked of the
court.
Walter II. Hayes, who was sitting
near the bar, smiled and informed Mr..
Cooper that it was the judges own
ruling he was criticising so severely,
aud then Mr.. Cooper laughed also.
Judge Ball appreciated the joke, and
said that the ruling had been in practice
for some time, and the bail would
remain the same In this instance.
0bid Outteu and Rachel Hairless, two
witnesses in the case, were each placed
under $500 bail for court.
