with a sentry on the outside to guard
against eavesdropping. leading Bryan
Democrats of South Jersey, with Repre-
| sentative William D. DAILY, of Hoboken,
and Representative William Sulzer, OF
New York. in their midst, held secret
conclave in the Ridgeway House in this
| city yesterday, and devised plans for
whipping the stray members of the flock
into line.
| In addition to this, great impetus was
given to the movement to place Mr.. Sui
zers name on the next national ticket as
running mate for w. ]. Bryan. Perhaps
the most noteworthy feature Of the secret
| meeting was that Albert S. Dulin, of
NIoorestown, and Representative Daly
were brought together. Thus chasm
was bridged which for two years has
threatened to make trouble for the Bryan
Democracy of the State.
There were present at the conference,
beside Mr.. Sulzer and Mr.. DAILY, Carter F.
Bride. of Washington, one of Colonel W.
]. Bryan's managers and treasurer of the
National Antitrust League; Edward
Schwaberlind, of Riverside, N. J., chair
man of the Burlington County Democ-
racy; Samuel P. Chafey, Secretary OF the
Burlington County Democracy: Albert S.
Dulin, of Moorestown, and a few lesser
lights.
Mr.. Suffers candidacy for the Vice
Presidential nomination as a running
mate for Bryan was the first topic dis
cussed. 1t is clear that so far as the Jer-
sey Bryan Democracy is concerned Mr..
Sulzer has certainty.
The question of harmonizing the war
ring factions of the Democracy was con-
sidered next. After long and careful con-
sideration it was decided that Mr. DAILY
should have fun sway in North Jersey
and Mr.. Dulin in South Jersey, the line of
demarkation being Burlington County.
This agreement was formally made and
ratified by the opposing bosses and their
friends with the understanding that each
should take care of his own section in the
interest of Bryan and Sulzer. Mr.. Dulin
being the Sulzer campaign manager for
the East.
1t also was agreed that the various local
leaders present might announce to their
constituents that the Jersey slate has
been finally made up, and their followers
must stand or fall by it, and according
would be rewarded in the event of the
success of the ticket.
The method adopted for bringing recall
citrants into line is said to be that here
after Bryan men who are without the
Endorsement of Mr.. Dulin or Mr.. DAILY
need not have no hope for reward from
the national Administration in the event
of the Bryan-Sulzer ticket being elected.
On leaving the conference to return to
Washington Mr.. Sulzer said to re-
porter
II am candidate for the vice-Presi-
Dental nomination on the ticket with
Colonel Bryan. I think I can win. and I
want to do so If can win on principle.
advocate an unqualified Endorsement of
the Chicago platform, with additional
planks radically stating the Democratic
position regarding anti-imperialism and
anti-trusts. Under this banner we can
win. I am in the hands of my friends
for this nomination, and I make no con-
cealment of the fact that shall strain
every nerve in a legitimate way to get it.
I believe I shall be successful
Edward Schwaberlind, Chairman of the
Burlington County Democracy, said:-
4'The Burlington County Democracy
gave to Mr.. Sulzer his initial boom for
the Vice Presidential nomination at our
meeting six weeks ago. Since then it was
taken up at the antitrust convention in
Chicago, when Representative Ridgeley,
of Kansas, speaking for the Populists;
John Martin for the labor organizations,
and many prominent Democrats, indorsed
and seconded Mr.. Suffers candidacy. At
our great banquet at Riverside on Wash
ington's Birthday Mr.. Suffers name
ELECTED as much applause as Mr.. Bryan's.
York are solid for Sulzer. He was born in
Jersey and raised in New York, and his
record is one to make both States proud.
We will stand or fall by Sulzer.'
Samuel Chafey, secretary of the Bur-
1ington County Democracy, said
Jersey Democracy for Vice President
Burlington county leads the entire coun-
try in launching his candidacy and inaug-
urating the campaign of 1900 We have
done what no interior county in the whole
country has accomplished so far, and our
works are an evidence of our faith. The
ticket will be Bryan and Sulzer, and New
Jersey will send a., solid delegation for
them to the Kansas City Convention
Carter IT. Bride, treasurer of the Anti
Trust League, said
II have known Mr.. Sulzer for many
years--in fact, ever since he came to Con-
gress, and l consider him the most ac-
ceptable and available candidate for the
Vice Presidency, with Mr.. Bryan He is
an intimate friend of Bryan's, and in
thorough accord with the great Demo-
cratic leader in every issue. They would
make an ideal team hope and believe
that Mr.. Sulzer will get the nomination"
