TRENTON. Sept. 10, 1ss6.-The alleged
Democratic Convention which was heio
at TayIor's Opera House in this city yes
terday was a most peculiar one. The ap-
sence OF the oqd-tirne leaders who AVE
led the Democrats to so many victories
was spoken Of yesterday. The entire rack
of enthusiasm which prevailed in the
early part OF the day wore of as the ses-
sion progressed, and in the afternoon the
gathering developed into a bowling, dis
orderly mob. Much of the noise was due
to a drunken delegate from Hudson VINO
occupied a front seat and made himself
obnoxious to all about him by his 1dlotlc
yells and loud comments. He was no hon.
or to the Hudson delegation and even
less to Hoboken, and is one OF those men
with no idea of decency or the fitness OF
things, who have higher ambition h to
get intoxicated and make exhibitions of
themselves.
AT the opening of the afternoon session
the Committee on Permanent Organiza-
zion reported that William D. DAILY had
been chosen for Permanent Chairman.
This was a bitter pill to some of the
South Jersey delegates who wanted to
have Mr.. Clarence T. Atkinson of Bur-
lington given the honor as a recognition
of his gallant fight in the last convention
for the younger element of the party.
Mr.. Atkinson had a good many votes
Tuesday night, and it was generally .un-
derstood that be would hold the Office.
But DAILY had a good many friends here
ali hustlers-and they went to work
with a will. They told the delegates that
the silver men of New Jersey could not
give Daily too much honor. They
called him the original silver
man in the State, and said that
ne favored the white metal even
before the Chicago Convention. Then
when the delegates came home and many
who are now in the front of the line were
sulktng in their tents, Daily fearlessly
and boldly came forward and announced
MS allegiance to Bryan and Sewall.
Nothing, however, was said about Mr..
Daly's being a candidate for Governor,
and all these things were for the purpose
of helping him along.
Senator Daily was warmly received. He
said he had been speaking to Pennsyi-
vania Democrats in favor of Bryan and
sewaii. He found the greatest enthusiasm
for the ticket. During the campaign he
would go before the people of his own
State and ask them to ratify the Chi
cago ticket. Nj. Daily introduced CON-
gresham Benton McMillin, of Tennessee.
Mr. McAIllin said it gave him pleasure

Congressman Fowler and former Sena-

side. He asked when silver ever got to
