HOBART ON SOUND. MONEY


Committee Waits Upon Him mt Paterson
and Crowds Listen to His Speech
"There Can Be No Financial Security or
Business Prosperity While the Money
Question is in Doubt" He Said.
Paterson N. j., July 7-Garret A.
Hobart, nominee for vice president to
run on the republican ticket with Will
liam Mckinley, was notified of his
nomination this morning by Chairman
Charles w. Fairbank, backed UP by
about thirty of the notification COM
mittee and in the hearing of hundreds
OF loyal Patersonites.
1t was such a ceremony as New Jer-
Jsey has not seen for many q day-not
Tor forty years-for it is that long since
Jersey man has had place on either
democratic or republican national
ticket
Paterson is proud of her townsman,
ana her population, irrespective of par
ty turned out to-day to honor him.
There was enthusiasm galore. 1t had
the ring of 1S-karat gold to it; if there
mad been one disinterested person to
pass an unbiased opinion on it that
person would have proclaimed the en-
thusiasm genuine. All sorts of persons
knocked elbows in the crowd and We'd
with each other in making the most
noise to advertise the event and fill
neighboring towns with envy
Some OF the older generation who
quietly looked on and enjoyed the hub
bub of the rooters could remember back
to 1856, when the first republican can
didate for vice president was chosen
from the state. He was William L.
Dayton, the candidate for presidency
on the same ticket being John G. Ere
mont.
The New York delegation met at the
Fifth Avenue hotel at 9;45 o'clock and
TOOK cross town cars to the West Twen-
ty-third street ferry.
