NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
Chancellor McGtil Nominated for Governor

Chancellor McGin Nominated for Governor
on the First Ballot by Large aIaiority--
The Platform.
Trcnton. N. j., Sept 2G. The Demo-
cratic State Convention to-day nomi-
mated for Gov. Alexander 7. McGill, the
present Chancellor of New Jersey. His
nomination occurred on the first ballot,
his only competitor Augustus w. CUT
Ter, Of Norris county, obtaining alto
gether only 1i3 votes out of total OF
9i9, or a necessary 40 votes. As soon,
as Essex and Hudson counties voted
the nomination Of McGill was assured.
The platform declares as follows i
That we reaffirm the National Demo.
cratic platform adopted ut Chicago in.
1902, and cordially indorse tho adminis-
tration of President Cleveland, with
whose determination to protect the
people of this country from the eyils
ever attendant upon debasemeptof
the national currency we are in most
earnest sympathy.
We congratulate the people upon the
revival of prosperity everywhere evil
dent n our land, and we assert that
the industrial depression with which
we have been afflicted during the past
tnIte gtdrb 10 CudrbedDle 10 Lne ma
tional legislation enacted by the Re-
publican party. The purchase of silver,
to be stored into the treasury, and the
enactment of unjust tariff laws, to en-
rich few favorites by the oppression
of millions of consumers, were the main
causes of the paralyzation of our mar
kets. That paralysis, and an empty ma
tional treasury, we're the legacies re-
ceived from Republican administra-
tion. The battle against system
fostered in violation Of self evident
laws of political economy has been won.
Every struggle against entrenched
wrong is attended by privaiion and
suffering, hut these are never endured
in vain. The lesson of cause and effect
has been thoroughly learned, and We
are willing TO abide by tho decision of
an intelligent people, who are now en-
tering upon period of prosperity that
will prove both substantial and en-
during.
The remainder of the platform refers
to State questions.

IN the municipal court Thursday morn
ing,
pr, Messiah Mesropian was rear
raigncd on the charge Of disoroerly
conduct, which was preferred by Mrs.
Mary Hartman. The case was called
on Tuesday, when the plaintiff alleged
that. tho doctor abused her and her
children. The first witness called on
Thursday was Rose Yetter. Mesropian' q
counsel, Lilburne Chandler, objected
to the testimony of the witness on the
ground that the charge was specific as
70 place and time, but Judge Ball ruled
that it was a general charge. The
witness stated that one night last
August the doctor insulted her and her
young sister Mary Wier stated that
one evening the doctor called her and Il
little companion vile names. Regina
Hartman gave similar testimony. The
doctor was again put on the stand. He
denied having used bad language, but
said that the children themselves had
used the language credited TO him. He
said one child had tried to put his
ohild's eye out. Other witnesses stated
that the children annoyed the doctor,
and he always spoke kindly to them.
The witnesses for the defence gave
Mesropian an exceptionally good char
acter.
Judge Ball said it was a clear case of
disorderly conduct, and the defendant
was fined $40 and required to pay the
costs of prosecution.
Mr.. Chandler gave notice of cross
suit, in which the doctor will bring
O charge of disorderly conduct against
the parties who had him arrested.

SOUND ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
A Refreshing Contrast between the Demo-
cratic Declaration and the Republican
Mukeshtfl ia N.xy Ynrts

A Refreshing Contrast between the Demo-
cratic Declaration and the Republican
Mnkeshift ia New York.
New York Times, September seth.
There is refreshing contrast be-
tween the declaration of financial prin-
ciple made by the Democratic conven-
tion and that made last week by tho
Republicans. The general purpose of
the latter was sound 10 far as relates
10 the present condition Of the currency
and to any change for the worse, but
it was mixed up with mean and
false insinuation AS TO the administra.
tion and still further complicated with
the absurd notion that the panic was
caused by the repeal Of the Mckinley
law. The Democrats, in reafirming
the the national platform of 1892, take
a stand as far in advance as the Repub-
lieans now take, and very much further
in advance than the Republicans dared
to take in the last national canvass.
But they do not stop there. Here
is the fourteenth clause of their plat
form: "(14l Sound money gold and
silver the only legal tender; no cur
rency inconvertible with coin gradual
retirement and extinction of the green
back currency: no free and unlimited
coinage of silver "
This sets the face of the party
towards the future. 1t recognizes
what is now sound in our currency.
1t expressly declares against debase-
ment by silver coinage. And it pro-
poses the one remedy sufficient for all
our actual ills and for the security Of
the nation against the dangers of the
future. The serious weakness of the
financial system of the United States
/ l. H.. ID. r L. Il
legal tender notes, which the treasury
is bound to redeem in gold, but cannot
pay and cancel. There is besides this
body of notes-made up of the original
greenbacks and the treasury notes of
1S90-another large volume of paper,
the silver certificates, which are not
expressly redeemabe in gold, but
which the Treasury is obliged to main
tain at par in gold, and which, therefore,
when they roach the Treasury, cannot
be paid out to any one who wishes
gold. For this gigantic task the re-
serve of gold is uncertain and INSULT
cient, and at times is exposed to drains
which cannot be foreseen and for which
there is no authority to make perma-
nent provision. The Democrats of
New York clearly and bravely take the
only perfectly sound and safe position,
that the burden of the Treasury must
be lightened, and lightened in last
ing manner by the 'gradual retire
ment and extinction of the greenbats'
currency" They go still further in de-
claring that gold and silver shall be
the only silver tender, thus demand
,ing the ultimate extinction also Of the
$3.50, GOO, 600 Treasury notes, which now
are legal tender
With these declarations men of sound
financial ideas, in which ever party the
