Senator.
fGentlemen of the convention, twenty
one years ago the delegates from Essex

solemn company to nominate man for
the high office of Governor OF New Jer-
sey Essex then, as now, was Repup--
lican stronghold ! remember well the
scene in this old hall, where Essex pre-
sented for your consideration the name
of that little General, who fought on the
fields of the War of the Rebellion. You
nominated then. for Essex, George - NC
Ciellan. Essex took your nominee through
out the State. and you remember that ne
was elected and served well as the Chlef
Magistrate of New Jersey From that
our chairman has spoken SO appropriately
in his speech, when the party was charged
with all the troubles that could be gath
cred together, Essex went out or the Re-
publican and into the Democratic ranks.
I'VE come here again asking at the
hands of the Democracy OF New Jersey
in convention assembled, that we be given
the standard bearer in this campaign We
ask only that we may be permitted to
show you at the end of this canvass, vic
tory. Victory in this State victory in
Essex aIItl. the reelection of a Demo-
cratic United States Senator. The gentle
man whom Essex desires me to place in
nomination. rs son of New Jersey grown
up among the people; graduated from one
the legislative halls and whose record is
an open book. He stood for all classes,
all grades and all parties who We're in
terested in the making OF honest laws
for the government of this common
wealth.
For fifteen years he has served in the
Prosecutors office IN the county of Essex,
and / defy our friends, the enemy to
place their hand upon one act OF his that
has been other than an officer of this
State should perform. Essex county with

Mr.. Cranes name was cheered loud and
long. and when it subsided Hudson
county was called, and ex-Judge Thomas
Noonan placed in nomination Hon. Will
liam D. DAILY, of Hoboken. Judge Noonan
made a neat little speech in nominating
the SENATOR:
Il desire to nominate he said, "a dis
tinguished Democrat from the banner
Democrats county OF Hudson-one who
needs neither Introduction nor recommen-
dation to the citizens of this common

Hunterdon county seconded the nomi-
nation of Crane and when Mercer was
called Alderman-at-Large Frank S. Kat
zenbach took the platform and placed
General Donnelly in nomination.
Mr.. Katzenbach created much amuse-
ment by saying For the first time in
over quarter of century, we, the rep
resentatives of the Democracy of this
State are assembled here not to nomi-
nate for the high Office of Governor a.
Democrat to succeed a Democratic Gov
ernor but Democrat to succeed a Re-
publican Governor, whoever he may hap
pen to be when his successor is to be in
augurated. -

Then the voting began. Atlantic led off
with 16 for DAILY, for Crane Bergen
