MR. DALY'S POSITION.
Senator Wants No One
Man to Run the DEM
ocratic Party.

Senator Dalys friends are much put
out over the unjust position in which he
has been placed by the misconstruction
of his action in protesting against the
work Of the subcommittee of the State
Committee. which was appointed TO pre-
pare resolutions for submission to the
convention tomorrow. Mr.. DAILY did nor
protest because no mention of silver was
made in the platform. The National is
sues which he thought should be submit
ted to the convention were the manner in
ried on by the present Republican ad-
ministration, the manner in which the
brave soldiers had suffered and died at
the camps IN this country through the in
competency. blundering, or something
worse, of those who represented the Nc
Kinley government, and the questions
which have arisen over the newly ac-
quired territory
What the Senator did protest against
mainly was the arrogance of Colonel X.
power to prepare a platform and run the
entire convention in the interests OF one
man. Mayor Seymour.
The chances are that will be repeated

TRIED TO KILL A KEEPER
Lively Time in the Snake
Hill Penitentiary This
Morning.


There was an exciting scene at the
Hudson County Penitentiary this morning
at Snake Hill, when the keepers, after a
lively chase captured an ex-convict for
attempting to "kilT' keeper named
Kobie.
The man was William Cummings, of
No 313 Henderson street, and he served
five terms in the penitentiary for assault,
burglary, petit and grand larceny. Since
he was released, in June last. he has
amused himself by appearing above
where the convets are crushing stones,
and throwing rocks as big as man's S
head at the keepers. Many attempts
were made to capture him but in vain;
This morning, however. he was at the old
place hurting stones among the convicts
and keepers Had any struck their mark
they would have killed the men, so large
were they When the dinner bell rang
and the convicts trooped in to the dining

he was in the prison. The Warden at

be traced to any authentic source a few
of the most persistent are interesting as
having bearing upon the possible choice
of the convention, should no caucus cam
didate be decided upon and the nomina-

the prevailing impression would indicate.
Among these rumors are the following -
That Elliot Danforth will go into the

TRENTON. Sept. q, sS.-A convention
of Republican and Democratic colored
voters is in session this afternoon In Tay-
Ior's Opera House assembly rooms Be-
fore the convention was called to order a
caucus was held and the colored brethren
decided to present themselves in a body
to the Democratic Gubernatorial Conven-
tion tomorrow and ask for recognition
The leaders of the movement say they
don't want any promises from the DEM
ocrats and mean to show the Republicans
what the colQred voters can do.
The call for the convention was signed
by John Marshall, who is reputed to be
the wealthiest negro in New Jersey; w.
Frank Patterson and Colonel Wlli1am

teen counties out of the twenty y-one are
