SINCE Mr.. Pitney has accepted the
nomination for State Senator in Morris
county the Democrats are having hard
time to get a man to run against him.
They tried Mayor Quayle, but he was

to one Porter of Boonton. Later Porter

DUTY determines destiny. Destiny,
which results from duty performed, may
bring anxiety and perils, but never
failure and dishonor. Pursuing duty
may not always lead by smooth paths.
Another course may look easier and
more attractive, but pursuing duty for
duty's sake is always sure and safe and
honorable. President MCKINLEY at
Chicago, October 10.

THE nomination of Mahlon Pitney for
Senator in Morris county by the Repub-
licans seems to have effectually discour-
aged the Democratic party of the county.
The popular nominee for Senator, Mayor
Quayle, declined, and Thomas H. Hoag-

dickering. The Senate will be stronger
for Mr.. Pltney's presence. Neacdrk CAL.

Monday nominated Hon. Mahlon Pitney

SO big man as Mr.. Pitney, who has
served with such distinction in Congress,
would consent to become State legisla-

"HoPELEssLY DIVIDED"

Some time ago the CHRONICLE, on the
authority of Ex-Governor Werts, stated
that "the Democratic party of New Jer-
sey was hopelessly divided, and it turns
out that Ex-Governor Werts was right.
We shall not go so far from home to
allude to the little pleasantries which
have passed between Chairman Gourley
and Senator Bill DAILY to demonstrate the
truth of the statement, for there is an
abundant supply of object lessons right
at home. A sight of kodac picture of
the delegates filling the street in front of
the Mansion House during one of the
frequent recesses of the Democratic con-
vention last Thursday would reveal
miniature Donnybrook fair, where one
wave of shillelleh would have made a
free fight general.
But they outdid themselves this week,
when the caucus, appointed by resolu-
ton railroaded through the aforesaid
convention, held snap meeting on Mon
day at which favored few were present,
the bulk of the committee not having
yet received their credentials. No one
but an ex-Hudson county political boss
would have had the temerity to so
manipulate things as to turn down the
old wheel horses of the County Commit
tee for his own advantage, he himself
taking the place of ex-Sherif Lindsey
as the member from Passaic township.
All the old members of the County Com
mittee were turned out to make room
for those who will be subservient to the
members, with the single exception of
Elias Christopher Drake, who usually
gets there, even if the delegates cost him
a thousand dollars. This time he is on
the County Committee against the open
ly expressed wish of the best men in the
party, either gold or silver. Mr.. Cook,
the chairman of the new committee, has
hardly yet shaken the dust of the Hudson
county boulevard from his feet. His
reputation there is that he is bold, licta-
tor1al and INSCRIPTIONS and that he will
not hesitate to trample on the rights and
feelings of others to secure his own ends.
He is living up to his reputation here, for
not only has he buncoed the Democratic
County Committee and made himself
chairman of the new one, but he has
overridden the committees elected at the
ward primaries and put in their places
creatures of his own who may be trusted
to make fair attempt to rival the cleo
ton methods of Hudson. We hardly
think that decent men will in this case
kiss the hand that struck them, nor will
the old Democratic families be likely to
follow the banner of the Passaic Croker
