Commissioner John Erickson presided.
There was a large attendance. Arrange
ments were made for two big mass meet
ings to be held between now and election
day. The first will be held in Shipman' s
Hall, Lafayette. on October II. Promi-
nent speakers win be present. The sec
ond melting will be in Bergen Hall on
November 8. The speakers expected al
the melting are: Judge Howard Carrow
Of Camden, Clarence Atkinson of Cam

The following resolutions endorsing the
candidate for Governor and the platform
adopted at the State Convention were
adopted

ton, in meeting assembled, hereby n.
dorses the action Of the Democratic

ton of said convention and the de-
claratons embodied IN the platform,

ally and collectively, of the members
of the association to said candidate

and who desire to promote to be the
Chief Executive of this State such
man as the Hon. Elvin w. Crane, who
has by his ability in the administra-
tion of an important Office in the coun-
ty of Essex merited the appreciation
of his fellow citizens without regard
to party distinctions. Against the
Republican candidate for Governor we
have no personal objections; but, If
elected he would be assuredly domi-
mated by the ruinous system which
has prevailed in Trenton since the ad
vent of Republican rule, and which,
as citizens and taxpayers, we emphati-
cally condemn. Therefore, it cannot
be too strongly urged that it is the
duty of every thinking citizen to pro-
test by his vote on the eighth of No
vember against the abuses perpetrated
by Republican Legislatures since that
party has been in power and to do
what in him lies to bring about the
election of a clean. honest Democratic
Legislature and the Hon. Elvin w.

mended the retention or the evacuation

forces. But it developed that Admiral
Dewey handed General Merritt a commu-
nication setting forth his judgment on the
this to the Commission with reports from
the American military officers at Manila
touching on the condition prevailing in the
islands.
General Merritt concluded with de-
claration Of his judgment in the matter,
and it may be said that he arrived in Par

would press for the possession of the
Philippine Archipelago.

very desirable nomination, for no less
than three Greenville Republicans were
out for that nomination at one time. Be

withdrew and will, without a doubt re-
ceive the nomination for Freeholder. The
