STATE CONVENTION LOOMING UP
Hudson Delegates to Trenton and
TO the National Com
yention.


The Democratic County Committee met
last night in F'ischer's Hall. There was
a large attendance, and consequently a
lively time. There were l65 gentlemen
named VINO VII be voted for at the
primaries next Wednesday evening for
delegates to the State convention. The
prospective delegates will have caucus
on Tuesday next. 1t is pretty generally
understood that Allan L. McDermott and
E. F. C. Young will be thesdelegates from
this district to the Presidential conven-
ton Mr. McDermott is said to favor Mr.
Whitney
The question of local politics was raised
as soon as the business relating to the
State convention had been disposed of.
Secretary John Mulvaney. as a member
of the Executive COMMITTEES and member
of the Fifth Ward Committee, started a
little fuss by announcing that he did not
believe committeeman should attempt
to dictate nominations in wards he did
not represent. No one had to wait to
find out whom the shot was meant for.
c. P. Smith, ex-Superintendent of Police
was on his feet in an instant. He is
from the Fourth ward, and for some rea-
son has been poaching on Mr. Mulvaney' $
territory. He has gone 50 far as to place
Charles Maxwell and John Tracy in the
race for Aldermen. Muivaney objects,
and says he is competent to suggest NOM
inations without outside interference.
The Superintendent got ratified, and
accused Mr.. Mulvaney Of having sup
ported Mayor Wanser in his campaign.
! Maxwell. Smiths candidate, was referred
no as the latter's lackey. and was charged
with having displayed treason to the party
by voting and working for Sheriff Toffey
and other Republican candidates The
squabble was stopped with difficulty, and
the misunderstanding will be adjusted.
There is lively struggle for nomina-
tfons going on in the various wards.
Democrats feel sure that victory is in
the am so every one wants to go in with
the tide
Applications galore have been filed with
John Mulvaney, Secretary Of the City
Committee
Ferdinand Heintz and Major Charles
Boltwood will sbe the candidates for. the
Street and Water Board. Joseph Full
man has also filed an APPLICATION to be-
come candidate, but 1t is not believed
he will show much strength at the
primaries
There will be lively contest for the Al
dermanic nominations
In the First ward William J. Moran and
James Burns have filed petitions. They
will have no opponents. Their election
is assured, as the ward is Democratic and
has half dozen well organized clubs
at work.
The Second ward will nominate John
Heavy. John Buckley was talked of as
his opponent. but he was withdrawn so
as to insure harmony. Heavy is a strong
candidate. and the ward being Democratic
there is no doubt but he will win.
The Third ward is supposed to be Re-
publican. It has gone Democratic, and
viii doubtless do SO again with such an
admirable candidate as A NJ. Henry, the
coal dealer, on the ticket.
The Fourth ward should be Republican,
but with such a candidate as Samuel G.
Warren, the milk dealer, in the field, it is
believed that a handsome Democratic ma
jority will be piled up, the same as last
fall
The Fifth ward may be depended on as
being in the Democratic ranks. Who the
candidates to be named will be will net
be known until after the primaries. There
are four candidates in the field They
are:-P. ]. Murphy and William Donnelly
against Charles Maxwell and John Tracy.
This is the seat Of the Mulvaney- Smith
sssperity 1t has been agreed that the
winters Will receive the individual sup
port of both factions.
The Sixth ward is cut out to be Re
publican. The voters. however, showed
their liking for the Democratic ticket last
fan by piling UP a majority FOR Chancellor
McGill. Marcus Bollhardt, the carpenter,
big property owner is TO be the Alder,
manic candidate. Republicans already
admit that he will Win.
In the Seventh ward there will be "a
spirited contest. There is a Republi an
majority there but Edward Barr of the
printing firm of Barr & Dinwiddie, and
Henry Gotthardt. the segar manufacturer
of the Boulevard. will be the Democratic
candidates. Both are representative blisi-
ness men, and will, it is beHeved, capture
Republican votes by the score.
