UNIT RULE ADOPTED.
Delegates to the Democratic State
Convention Have a Caucus

The Hudson county delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, to be held
in Trenton on Tuesday held a caucus
last evening in Fischer's Hall, this city
Over one hundred of the delegates were
present. Leon Albeit was made chair
man and Charles Meyer secretary
When the secretary had finished calling
the roll, Tom Jacob arose and in his
peppery manner declared that his name
had not been called.
The secretary excused himself by saving
that he had not received returns from
all the primaries and that out of 104 about
Is names were missing
In view of that fact Senator DAILY moved
that the caucus be adjourned to Monday
night and it was so ordered
A delegate then discovered that there
were several delegates in an ante-room
and he wanted them called in and the
caucus continued.
The motion to adjourn was reconsidered
and the business began.
On motion of Delegate Kenny these
gentlemen were selected for positions al

tion would have voice in the selection

Alex. Young of Hoboken moved that
the action of the Chicago convention be
indcrsed and it was carried unanirnpusly
Delegate Oxley moved that the unit
rule be adopted. The motion was quickly
put and declared carried before any one
had chance to discuss it.
Counsellor Simpson protested He said
that delegates should be given a chance
to discuss matters. but the rapid method
of the cha rman debarred them. He
offered motion that the vote be recon
sidered. This was done.
Counselor Simpson made an earnest
argument against the unit rule. He de-
clared himself to be an earnest Demo-
crat and warm supporter of the party &
nominees and platform, but he Considered
it unwise to adopt the unit rule. as ii
would allow the enemy to claim that fhey
were merely the tools of a s.bsss !, ANA
