NOMINATIONS At DOVER
Convention Names Leaders for
Noyember's Big Battle.


A glorious day favored the Republican
delegates and hosts of others who gath
cred in Dover on Monday to select candi
dates for Senator, County Clerk and
Assemblymen. The warm October sun
was no brighter than the faces of the
delegates, who felt that they had an i'm
portant duty to perform and that they
had the material to place in nomination
ticket that would set the ball rolling in
old Morris and throughout the Fourth
Congress District at the rapid pace
started by Mr.. Pitney when he began
his first canvass for Congressional
honors.
The convention was composed of rep
resentative men of the party and its de-
liberations from first to last were re-
markable for the unanimity apparent
throughout the proceedings; not only
harmony prevailed, but it was of the
effervescent, happy order, which is SO
essential to success. Mahlon Pitney for
Senator, Daniel S. Voorhees, for County
Clerk and Messrs. Welsh and Poole for
Assemblymen were the only candidates
seriously considered from the first, and
the result was as might have been ex-
pected.

4 81 say to you from a very deep and
profound conviction that in my judg
ment there never has been a time in the
history of this country when the hand Of
a wise, patriotic, able and intelligent
magistrate should be upheld more thar
now. There are immense issues to follow
the result of the hundred days of success
full war which has been prosecuted.
believe, and you all believe, that Presi
dent Mckinley is the man of the hour
He has actually, so far in the policy pur.
sued by him, broken down the barriers
of the past and united the North and the
South. As it is now, we want to hold
up his hands. and it is of vast importance
that the u. S. Senate, with Democratic
and Populistic majority which is hostile
and has been hostile to the Administers
ton in his policy, should be replaced by
Republican majority. I conjure you,
gentlemen, to lay your hands today upon
the ablest and best men to fill the po-
sitions upon which we are called upon to
fll."
William T. Brown of Madison and L.
o. Stiles of Morristown were named as
