Prominent Democrats Hear
Gourley, DAILY, Young
and the Candidates.

Inclement skies have apparently no eff
feet on Hoboken Democrats, as Chair
man VIM. B. Gourley of the Democratic
State Committee remarked last evening.
With the rain pelting like hailstones on
the window panes of Our Lady of Grace
Hall one thousand Democrats there as
semibled last evening to unite in an old
time Hoboken rally held under the au-
spices of the Democratic city Commit
tee. The meeting was one of the most
successful ever held in the old Demo-
cratic stronghold. The enthusiasm was
inspiring. One half of the big gathering
of stalwarts were drenched to the skin
coming to the hall and sat out the meet

iasm warmed them and made them for

ills were risked.
On the platform sat every man of inn
portance who ever laid claim to Demo-
cratic principles in Hoboken. Side by side
sat men who had opposed one another in

for the ticket and be enthusiastic and
every zone was content.
Mayor Pagan presided at the meeting
and introduced the first speaker James

The enthusiasm was renewed in in.

Counsellor Alexander g. Young. Mr..
Young referred to the records OF the diff
ferent candidates briefly, the name Of
each calling for fresh applause every time.
The introduction of the different candi-
dates to the audience was the signal for
deafening applause. MeSsrs. Ruempler
and Clark won the Hobokenites. 1t was
when Maurice Stack was introduced,
however, that the storm broke loose. A
Hoboken boy, known personally to every
man in the audience, WAS too great an
thought. h The candidate was cheered
again and again and when he sat down
after making a brief, manly address, en-
