specialto tEs Jersep Csta Ne,rs.

TRENTON, Sept. 26. 1S95.-The con-
vention re-assembled at 2:15 o'clock.
The utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Each
man of the State Committee was
loudly cheered as he entered the theatre.
AS Senator Daily, chairman of the Com
mittee on Permanent Organization,
stepped forward to report, he was re-
ceived with cheering which lasted for
some time. He named J. Howard Carrow
as permanent chairman and ex-senator
Michael t. Barrett of Essex, F. B. Free
and John j. Matthews as permanent
secretaries.
Judge Carrow was received with an
other storm of applause. After thank
ing the convention for "tllis unexpected
and high honor coming from such re-
spectacle source" he said the conven-
ton had the great duty of nominating
the next Governor. of New Jersey. For
twenty-nine years New Jersey had
Democratic Governor, and would con-
tinue to have one, so long as
the Democratic party reflected the
will of the people. Notwithstanding
the boasts made a week ago on that
platform, New Jersey would continue
to be a Democratic State. He paid a
handsome tribute to New jerseys judi
ciary which was non-partisan and re-
ferred to the Republican States among
whose judiciary there was not a single
Democrat. HIS mention of Chancellor
MeGill's name was received with loud
cheering He enumerated the long list
of beneficial reforms which the Democrats
had made in the State. In closing he
called upon the Democrats to put on
their armor and prepare themselves for
the coming conflict.
w. D. Edwards. chairman of the Com
mittee on Judiciary, reported only one
contest, and that was in Paterson. The
committee recommended the seatlng OF
the delegation now sitting.
The thanks of the convention were
given to Allan l.. McDermott for his
great services to the people of New Jer-
sey by rising vote and three rousing
cheers. The platform was then adopted.

enough evidence of trickery has been
found to warrant the expulsion of Hutch-

commend this be done at the next meet
ing.
Shortly before the primary was held
the club selected Hennemeier as one of its
delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven-
ton. Hutchinson opposed Hennemeier at
the time, but was Overwhelmingly beaten
when q vote was taken. On the night of
the primary Hutchinson, who has per-

for him as a delegate. He had special
tickets on which his name was substi-

LONDON. Sept. 26, 1Ss5.-The 'eYacht-

ing situation says
1.-The fiasco at New York seems to have
whetted cupidity for possession of the
cup to an extraordinary degree. Lord
Dunravens yacht has not even started
homeward before another challenge is
issued and accepted.
This is certainly a matter for con-
graduation and stultifies in a practical
manner the absurd comments upon the
British yachtsmen over the last contest.
Matches between English and American
clubs should be greatly encouraged as
sucn. hut imbuing them with inter

The yachting World" also prints the
following note from well known colo
NAL yachtsman:-
II know that I am expressing the
en s Rome many and aSroad when G ansh sa
that the Americas Cup should he
brought, back to the old country. I am
aobt to to be f0 a yynd9as to to b@n Sga

this note, says
''Mr, Moir, who is very much in earn

responses to his letter He has been
inundated with offers to subscribe sums
ranging from f30 to Fl 900, until at the

ing for the cup. Mr.. Moir's idea is to
build boat on lines similar to those
of the Britannia, but with larger sail
spread. It is probable that Mr. Moir
will shortly interview Mr.. Watson, in
which case it VIII be safe to assume
that the. order for the boat will go to

EnliVening Scenes in Trenton
Cutler Boom Disin-
tegrates.
ecessary for a choice, 4S7.
Special to the Jersey oltu News.

TRENTON, Sept. 26, 1S95.-There was
little change in the situation this morn
ing, and that little was among the Cutler
men, many of whom went oevr to McGill.
The nurses of the Morris mans boom
made strenuous efforts to keep the Fourth
Congressional District solid for the for
mer candidate.
The delegates began to pour in with the
first train, and soon the city presented an
animated appearance. Hudson arrived
about ten o'clock, and marched quickly
to her headquarters at the American
House. The delegates were without mu-
sic, and made no effort at a parade as
they passed through the streets. The
delegates left Jersey City in a special
train, which was run as the second sec
tion of the S.13 fast Washington express
Each man had on his breast blue silk
badge bearing in gold letters:-
Hudson county-F'or Governor, Alex
ander 7. MGill.'
The delegation had already caucused
the members scattered among the throng
which crowded Warren street.
GOING TO PIECES
The Cutler boom showed signs of going
to pieces es the day wore on. Judge
Stanley Sims took in his lightning rod,
ana the ueiegatlon became practlcally
solid for the Chancellor. The selection
of Judge J. Howard Carrow, of Camden,
for permanent chairman, put his boom to
sleep for three years at least, and Cam
den came into line for McGill.
The scene was considerably enlivened
at eleven o'clock when a band took it's
place in front of the Trenton House and
began to play lively airs. Soon after an
other band was heard down the street
and up came the Essex delegation led
by Colonel E. Livingston Price and Frank
McDermitt. They countermarched in
front of the Trenton House, gave three
cheers for Senator Smith and then pro-
ceeded to parade through the streets.
Many of the smaller delegations held
caucuses and pronounced for McGill.
There was a big fight in Hunterdon.
Paul A. Queen was chairman and ex-
Senator John Carpenter secretary After
considerable discussion a vote was taken
and disclosed 16 for Cutler, 9 for McGill
and 10 absent. This broke up the solid
Fourth district for Cutler.
William J. Thompson was chosen
chairman of the Camden delegation and
ex-senator Rufus Blodgett of the Mon
mouth delegation.

PAMPERED AMERICAN CRIMINAL

1t is scarcely open to dispute that the
criminals of this country enjoy privileges
and immunities not accorded to the out
laws of any other nation on earth. There
have probably never been in existence
any other civil government that guarded
and nursed the criminal elements as care
fully as they are kept and protected in
this country
Our scheme began with extraordinary
safeguards and favors for. persons ac-
cused of crime. The constitutional pro-
visions in this line doubtless grew out of
the expressions and "bloody assizes' of
the Jeffreys over the sea- who encouraged
and precipitated the embarkation of our
ancestors for this continent as an escape
from tyranny. The tendency to move in
a certain direction impressed upon US at
the outset, has continued to operate with
the force Of inertia, and the privileges Of
some of the States until he is practically
safe as long as his money and influence
hold out. American justice is entirely too
slow for the racy. criminal Of 1895; There
is something radically weak and wrong
in the present method of trying and ac-
quitting influential outlaws. Perhaps the
most serious trouble is found in the delay
of the courts. However, there are many
other points of baneful Weakness.--Gal-
weston News.
