CHANCELLOR MGILL.
mont over again. whereupon feeble round Of ap-
plause corrected the omission. The delegates were
ready to be enthusiastic for anybody or anything.
but they did not have much chance, and the per
functory way In which the business was tran
sacted showed that the assurances OF victory
made by the speakers were not their personal be-
lief The fact is, the nomination was believed 70
be eminenty the correct thing for the convention
to do and II was as void OF enthusiasm as Is usual
when Democratic conventions do what they thinf
they ought 10 instead OF what they would like
10 do.
At the end Union County delegate asked tn
convention TO declare that Chancellor McGil'
should personally lead ,he Democratic hosts.
but he was ignored That was the source OF real
trouble the canker that was eating the hearts
Of the delegates, for II became known that the
Chancellor would stick to his present office. and
this would preclude him from taking any part In
the campaign. This is regarded az a practical al
mission that defeat is expected. and II dishearten'
Democrats more than anything else. even tho
confidence OF their opponents and the depression
of their own leaders.
THE OLD BOSSES ON HAND.
The convention was interesting in spite OF its
general duness the terrific heat and the lame way
in which its business was conducted. It's contrast

AN UNFORTUNATE CHAIRMAN
The delegates were stripped Of their coats when
! the convention reassembled, and they bore up
wonderfully we'll under the tremendous heat.
Senator DAILY, Of Hudson County, came forward
with the report OF the Committee on Permanent
Organization. He greeted with Hello. Bill
! Dalyr' and received three cheers. He is the
picture of a Tammany politician. ard not an at
tractive figure. but he IS popular with large foi-
! lowing Mr. Daily reported In favor OF Judge
| Howard Carrow. Of Camden as chairman and ex-
Senator Barrett. j. j. Matthews and Francis b.
| Lee secretaries.
Judge Carrow beckoned TO the front Of the
stage from the wings. where he stood In waiting.
| and he proceeded 10 make speech. predicting
| the success OF the party He attacked the ad-
dress Of Temporary Chairman Pitney. OF the Re-
publican Convention, and urged the party TO let
| Democrats repair the evils OF Democratic ad-
mnstratIon. One sentence left his hearers In
| sad doubt. II his assertion that the Demo-
cratic Governors had been distinguished for

Whether this bit OF sarcasm only the
usual campaign rhetoric still remains mystery.

OF the state Committee was adopted by a rising
vote. The platform itself Is a long document and

was reported. II Is supposed to be the work Of
Mr.. McDermott himself
THE NOMINATION MADE.
There was a clumsy attempt to get a State
Commttee named then and there but Il was
postponed and nominations for Governor wers
called for. Burlington County presented Judge
Clifford Stanley Sims and withdrew him IN the
same breath. and Cumberland County did tina
same for ex-senator Baker, although the speaker
declared that the Macedonian cry had went
forth for him. Camden County represented bv
