Mckinley Mee4s Dewey--A Historic
Moment.

The encounter between President NC
K,n,ev and Admiral Dewey, yesterday,
was what might be called a historic mo-
meut. 1t would be worth gold and Jewels

other. We can well imagine the ONO
politician. as he smiled his official smile
and babbled his conventional Fluctuations
real,y wrtthing in his soul with the small
jealousy and rancor which prevented MIN
from coming to New York to join In the
great welcome to the National hero,
The mental state Of the Admiral was no
doubt more complex. The habit OF forty
wears Of military training would naturally
compel a mental attitude of Difference to-
wards the President. The President Is

living representative OF the government

other man in the United States who is so
well aware of the Presidents utter per-
tonal i~nadeQuacy as Admiral Dewey.

point Of view the Admiral must have been
fun Of contempt and aversion towards the
president, and while he saluted the Chief

be the feeling that, by doing SO. he would

MONMOUTH DEMOCRATS.
They Nominate a Ticket Which

Next Fall.

Especial to THE Jersey City News.'1
FREEHOLD, Oct. 8. 1S99.-The conven-
ton Of the Monmouth County Democracy,
held in the Freehold Opera House yester-
day, was marked by some very sharp
skirmishing between the factions support
ing respectively DR.. A. 7. Apologize, of
Englishtown, and G. Ewing Patterson, of
Long Branch, for the nomination for
County Clerk.
The convention was called to order at
noon by Aaron E. Johnston. of Farming
dale, who was chairman Of the last con-
v~ention. and he was reelected as presid-
ing officer. A humorous speech by
Samuel A. Patterson, OF Asbury Park,
and a stirring one by Ex-Governor G.
Meyer Zulick, OF Avon, kept enthusiasm
at the high notch. A committee was
appointed to draw up a general arraign-
ment of the Republicans, and submit 1t
The nominations then took place. DR..
Applegata was nominated for County
Clerk upon the first ballot, receiving. lob
votes to So for Patterson. His nominal
ton was then made unanimous. Jacob
c. Shuts, of Shrewsbury. was nominated
for Sheriff upon the first ballot by I3
votes to s. for Joseph =. Butcher, OF
Farmingdale. Aaron E. Johnston was the
choice for State Senator. All last years
Assembly candidates, B. Drummond
Woolley of Long Branch Joseph Heyei.
of Holmdel, and Joseph e. Butcher were
renominated. Mr.. Butcher, 1t was be-
lieved, would decline the nomination, but
later he showed that he cherished no ani-
mostly for his Shrieyalty rundown by
accepting. The candidates for coroners
will be A. P. johnson, of Freehold; Jos.
Antonides, of Manasquan. and John Shee-
han. of Red Bank. This ticket is COM
sidered a strong one, especially as Butch-
er is conciliated, and the Patterson fac
ton has clipped its own wings.

Indications are thai the Republican
County Convention will be the rarest
circus witnessed here since the last time
the Barnum three-ring affair visited the
town. There will be only one ring in this.
though one or two baby ones will exhibit
their progress towards swallowing up the
bid original Dickinson article. Thus. the
McEwan-Christie article will be in evil
dence, and the Landrine circlet will dance
before the eyes OF the bosses in lively
btyls.
Among the possibilities Of the occasion
Is a walk-out by one or more of the fac
tfons If their particular states are not
humbly accepted by the powers that be.
It Is rumored that the McEwanites, in
particular. Will come to the convention
prepared to recede, just as soon as Mr..
Christie is turned down..
The peculiar brand of harmony that is
on tap in the G. @. P. is truly refreshing.
It equals the combination of the calliope

Those residents of Jersey City who are
accustomed to c~rfticise our police force
without rhyme or reason, should Y
seen the excellent work done by the de-
partment Yesterday at the Pennsylvania
station. when Admiral Dewey passed
through. One of the largest crowd ever
assembled there thronged the station, yet
there was no disorder and the vast con
course Of people was kept within bounds
without any unnecessary force or VIC
lence. The people were kept strictly
within the space allotted to them, and
notwithstanding the provocation and the
incentive to burst all barriers the lane re-
served for the Admiral and the other dis
tinquished gentlemen accompanying him
was not e~ncroache upon. It very seldom
happens that so large a crowd was 50
easily handled as was that Of yesterday.
The credit for this is entirely due to
Chief Murphy's excellent judgment ana
superior executive ability. He conceived
the plans for the disposition Of his force
and personally directed their execution.
The excellent police arrangements were
favorably commented upon by critics from
New York, who very seldom find words
Of praise for any police except the expert
clubbers of their w city.

KERAM|C ART CLUB.
Honors Divided Between
Miss Ehlers and Mrs.
Erwin at Yester-
days Competition

Keranic Art and Keramic Artists have
once more come to the front in Jersey
City. Yesterday the club opened its sea-
son at the residence OF Mrs. J.. p Giuck,
No. IS Oak street, as this year the Ker-
amics have made a slight change In their
programme and will meet in future at the
residences Of the various embe instead
of the Hasbrouck Institute. as heretofore.
The club is of the opinion that this
change is more productive of sociability.
Mrs. Emma M. Held and Miss Jennie
McKain acted in connection with Mrs.
Chuck, as hostesses. The afternoon was
to be devoted to Summer Outing but
little attention was given that subject
In the enthusiasm shown when Mrs.
Worth Osgood, president of the National
League of Keramic Artists. gave a very
interesting talk on the Paris Exposition
of 1900. and told the Keramics just what
would be required of them in case they
contributed to the china exhibition. This
exhibition, she said. would be in the In
dustrial Art Building, not yet completed,
IN the entire aisle under the Colorado.
1t will cost the National League in the
neighborhood of a thousand dollars and a
registration fee of flve dollars Will be
charged each exhibitor to defray ex-
pense OF shipping and unpacking. AS far
as possible, exhibitors will be requested
to send hin in glass cases to guard
against thievery.
Yesterdays programme also included
the regular competition. This time IL was
In water color designs Of thistles, and
the little gold pin WAS awarded Miss Jet
ia f. Ehlers ofNewark. It seems there had
been some misunderstanding on the part
of Mrs. James p. Erwin, who passed in
several finely executed landscape paint
ings, so fine, in fact, that Mrs. Osgood,
who awarded the prize, regretted that
there were not two medals, as Mrs. Err
win certainly deserved one for her land
scapes.
The matter Of the annual exhibition Of
the club was discussed, but nothing defin-
lite decided, save that as last years ex-
hi1bition coming so near Christmas proved
somewhat of a failure. this year the
exhibition will be postponed until after
the holidays.
For the next meeting, which falls on
November 6, at the residence of Miss
Florence White, No. 10 Monticello av-
enue the Keramics have the choice OF
three designs in water colors, Local Au-
tumn Flowers and Plants" Spanish

ST. JOHNS TEMPORARY BUILDING
The Glasses In Sunday School and
Institute Mast Have More Room.

Because of the crowded condition of st.
Johns Institute and Sunday school, the
Rev. e.. L.. S~toddard. d. D., has been
formulating plans for more comfortable
accommodations for his young people. HIS
idea is to erect a temporary gymnasium
building on the site now occupied by the
small gymnasium, at the rear Of the
parish building.
The institute class and those or the
Sunday school nave increased so rapidly
that the need of new quarters is felt
more and more each day. The large
room in the basement Of the church, the
parish building and gymnasium quarters
are used each Sunday. Still there Is not
enough room for the scholars. Branches
have been put in the roughly built
gymnasium where the Junior infant class
sessions are held. All of these rooms are
now so crowded that the sessions are In
terrupted at times. Besides the mem
bers of the various classes comprising the
institute, which season has just begun.
are greatly Inconvenience on account or
these cramped quarters.
1t is only q question OF a rev weeks
when the present one-story gymnasium
structure, facing on Clifton place, will be
torn down to make room for a more
modern building. This proposed building
will be two stories high. There will then
be sufficient room for the meetings OF the
many classes In the institute. This build
ing will be a temporary structure. Bids
have been sent to the rector and 1t is
quite probable that the work may begin
within a week.
In time, there will undoubtedly grace
the large site adjoining the handsome
church on Summit avenue. a parish build
ing constructed of the same material as
the church. Such a building could be
used to good advantage at present In view
of the great number of young people con-
nected with the church. but the construc-
ton of a parish building is very in
definite.
The members of the church and the
rector realize the necessity of a parish
building and this may help to facilitate
plans whereby a structure large enough
to accommodate all the scholars may be
erected much sooner than anticipated. The
cost OF the proposed wooden gymnasium
a not been ascertained.

Much Of the bombast and egoism was
taken out of that little Republican BAN
lam, Asa Francis, yesterday, by the
action Of the Democratic County conven-
zion Of Monmouth. The little fellow has
been doing some very tall Boosting of
late. the burden OF which has been that
he could not see how he could be defeat
I'd for a denomination. BY nominating
Aaron Johnson for State Senator. yester-
BAY, the delegates to the convention very
plainly showed Mr.. Francis how they
eould beat hin. Monmouth County is a
normal Democratic county. as the last
several election rave demonstrated be-
yond doubt. Mr.. Francis owed his cleo
ton three years ago to circumstances
which were unnatural and which no
longer exist In the county. He and his
supporters recognized the fact, but hoped
that they might succeed in pulling through
this fall by OBJECTIONS in the ranks of
their opponents. They therefore did all in
their power 10 discover breaches in the
ranks Of the Democrats and widen them.
but their EFFORTS have been a dismal fail
IRE.
In nominating Mr.. johnson the conven-
tion put up a candidate which every
Democrat in Monmouth. whether he fol-
lows the lead Of Rufus Biodgett or con-
sjders David Crater the greatest leader
81 them ALL can support. Mr.. johnson Is
acceptable to all the Democrats because
they know from his past record that he
1eill make a conscientious and able Iegis-
lator. He served two years in the As

county and as chairman Of the Ways ana
Means Committee in the session Of $780,
and chairman Of the Judiciary Committee
in the following session he showed him-
self to be a capable and efficient law
maker.
Mr.. Johnson's popularity was amply
demonstrated when he ormerly came up
for election. When he was a candidate,
the Assemblymen were elected by the old
system of districts and in a district hav-
ing about 1900 population he was chosen
BY a plurality of LOO with three candi-
dates in the field. Since that time ms
popularity has steadily increased AND has
spread over the entire county. To para
phase the old legislative axiom:-He is
a good candidate and ought to be elected.
