CONVENTION NOTES.

Queer things are heard on the troll

corridors, relative to prominent Re-
publican leaders, the administration
and its future.
a party of Jerseymen, convention
bound on Tuesday morning, engaged
i'll an animated discussion as to Pre-
sident McKnley's imperialistic"
policy. A Pennsylvania delegate,
who had remained an attentive
listener, finally broke in with
" the war with Spain was not of our
on, but it came and we
fought like hell to hold up the flag,
now l am in favor of keeping every
damn inch Of territory we have got
a quiet listener said, II
am Methodist minister, at present
doing missionary work in South Jer
sey, and want to thank you sim
aerely for expressing my sentiments
in a more forceful way than my pro-
fession allows me to do. Everybody
laughed while the profane PennsyI-

The Hunterdon Democrat urges that
following the rule of rotation the
Democratic congressional representa-
ton from the Fourth District, should
20 to Hunterdon. This leads the edi-
tor of the Hackettstown Gazette to
remark:
''New Jersey has never had that
prominence in Congress TO which she
is entitled by reason of this time
honored rule of rotation. The only
excuse for retiring a representative
in Congress should be that he is out
of sympathy with the predominating
political sentiment of his District. Mr..
Salmon is today one of the best repre-
sentatives of the prevailing political
sentiment of thelFourth Congressional
District. What possible reason can
be given for retiring him und der these
conditions, other than to give some
other fellow the place he covets. He
meets every requirement of the pre-
sent conditions, he is the peer of any
man aspiring to the place he fills SO
we'll, and his value to his constitu-
tents and his country will increase
with the length of his service, and
he should be kept there until it is
shown that he no longer represents
the predominating political sentiments
Of the district. ?"

lays Of Lincoln Both nen whose
names are on the ticket have proved
their character and ability both in
