By Dir. John Wichham. whose law Office
was over my mothers kitchen. The west
end Of that tenement was then occupied
by Mr.. Baker. a dentist. who afterwards
removed 10 New York city. After Mr..

LABOR DAY AT The PARK.

The Peoples Party Hold Convention
Behind CLOSED Doors The Public Not a
Party.
To day is Labor Day and in all the
banks iand city offices the holiday is
being observed. at Union Park the
Labor League is holding field day
Hyatt's Baud will give a special program
both afternoon and gevening and dancing
and athletic sports will be feature.
The Peoples party which is supposed
to exist with principles akin TO the
socialistic labor platform is holding its
State convention this afternoon. This
morning the county convention was
held, but contrary to the usual custom,
behind closed doors, and those who
participated in it were pledged to secrecy,
so far as the general public was con-
cerned When asked by an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter as to what business
had bsen transacted and who had been
placed In nomination, the acting secre-
tary of the convention said.
1--WE are not prepared to give any in.
formation out just yet. Later on we
will give the public what we desire to-
We have not definitely settled who VIC
will put on our ticket for either county
or state officers. There are severa
named for governor, prominent among
whom are ]. Alexander Fulton, Of
Dover, and Samuel G. Fisher, of Bridge
vile, Sussex county. = These are all
| know"
When it was suggested that the publ,
might be interested In the action of
party, which later on would solicit thai
same public for votes, the gentleman
said: -
'Well the public will have 20 wait
until we decide to give out any informa
tion. Some of the delegates from dowr
the state haven't got here yet and We
don't know what they win do No, there
Is simply nothing that we can tell yoU
until we get through"
There were but few at the park up tc
o'clock and many complaints wer
heard that the picnic had not been ad
vertised. Said one man: ut is poorl,

that there is anything going on at th
