sions he is among the least o5'rusve. So much OF
a fact is this that many habltues of the Capitol
do not know him by sight, although his name ana
reputation known TO all.
"A quiet, sef-conjained man is this self-made
millionaire. Public meetings gatherings other
than those of social character rare.y know him.
he has no ambition TO shine an orator. and. as a
genera! rule he is given to talking much at any
time.
Forty-threc years ago last month he began his
career in the Hudson County Bank. Twelve years
later he was appointed teller of the First National
Bank and he l. now president OF that institution.
Mr.. Young is heavy stakeholder in steam and
trolley railroads he has acted receiver for the
Sugar and COrdage trusts and for such industrial
concerns as the Dixon Crucible Company. In every
instance his business sagac!ty has enabled him to
achieve unlooked-for results He is now president:
of the Consolidated Traction Company.
Mr.. Young has been Tax Collector. City Treasurer,
Acting City Controller. Alderman. Freebooter and
director OF the Board OF Freeho.dcrs In 1859 he was

Senator Mcpherson went to Europe in the summer
of 1892 but he arranged 10 return in time 10 super

right from the other side of the Atlantic, but had
the ill-fortune TO travel by the Normannia on tho
trip which ended in the Quarantine siege down the
Bay Senator Mcpherson had to stay on the steam

Governor Albeit and Allan J." McDcrmott were
working like beavers TO upset his calcua lions and
win the prize for George +. Werts. The convention
was hello while Mcpherson remained prisoner ON
the Normannia. The judgment OF most we.l-infOrmed
politicians Is that McPherson's presence in Trent
would have made Young's nominate ton certain. His
absence disnayed the Young hosts and Werts won
though not without terrific fight.
Whether or not Mr. Young still nurses ambi-

even MS intimate friends DO not pretend to be able
to answer He could have had the Democratic
nomination this year II he wanted It, but he pre-
ferred to see his friend Chancellor McGil. chosen

he never signs anything OF the kind"

self fortunate to have three or four names
added to your list. But those given, you
can count on, for It takes courage to op-
