HACKENSACK, Sept. 2e, 1sO0.-The Re

Committee calling the meeting to order at

First Assistant Postmaster-G General Will
liam M. Johnson, of Hackensack, pre-
sided over the convention, after being
rendered an ovation and responding with
neat address. Incidentally he said that
Bergen county was now in the control OF
the g. O. p, and he could see no reason
why 1t should not remain so.
Assemblyman Edmund w. Wakelee, OF
Demarest, who was the leader of the
lower House last winter, was nominated
Senator to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Johnson, who resigned after re-
ceiving the appointment at Washington.
Ex-Assemblyman John NJ. Bell, of Ruth
erford, was rightfully entitled to this
nomination, but he lacked votes.
The leaders considered Wakelee a
stronger candidate, he being more popu-
lar with the younger element in the
county.
Editor Joseph H. Tillotson, of the En-
gleWOod Press and Freeholder James
Mercer, of Lodi, were nominated for AS

COAL NOW So A TON.
Most of the Dealers. Have
Very Little Left.

The smaller dealers on the Heights and
those in the Lafayette section, have
found it very difficult to secure any coal
from the mines, the centre of the big
strike. Several had coal in stock, but the
fear of large increase hastened the
usual winter orders and consequently the
dealers have all but exhausted their sup
plies.
Coal was selling for as low as $3.50 a
ton previous to the strike, but now the
consumer is paying Sc a ton and the
price bids fair to go up another notch
if the trouble is prolonged. Many dealers
have refused to take further orders
owing to their inability to secure the
article. Not many of the small dealers
have any stock on hand, while the larger
firms have enough for week or ten
days.
It is not unlikely that the factories will
be forced to use soft coal if the trouble
lasts Very little coal is being shipped
and what is being mined is either con-
fiscated by the railroads or the big
dealers. The small merchant stands no
chance.
At the firm of Mackey, Young & Com
pany, one of the largest in the city, 1t
was stated yesterday that the firm was
receiving Sc a ton, an increase of ST. This
firm has but little coal left. A great
MANY dealers assure their customers that
the strike will be of short duration and
that matters will assume their normal
shape in a very short time.

THE REPUBLICAN, PRIMARIES.
Chairman Fry Says They Will Be
Held October &.

Chairman Edward Fry, of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Republican County
Committee, after consulting with the
leaders, announced that October had
been set aside as the date for the Re-
publican primaries. Delegates to the Con-
gressional and county conventions will
be selected The county convention will
be held on the evening of October 10 and
the Congressional convention at three
O'Clock of the same day. There will be
212 delegates to the Congressional con-
vention and POI to the county convention.
There are many prominent Republicans
spoken of as aspirants for the several
nominations. Robert Carey, James B.
Vredenburg and George L. Record are
among those whose names figure promi-
nently in the race for the Congressional
nomination. Mr.. Carey has also been,
spoken of to oppose ex-Judge Robert
Hudspeth in the Senatorial race. Free
holders and Assembly candidates are as
plenty as bees about honey pot, but the
leaders have not made up the slate and
information, is very meagre. Prominent
Republicans when asked about the pros
pective nominees always ask the in
auisitive ones to wait until the conven-
tions are held
