Mentioned for State Chair
man Of Democratic
State Conven-
ton.
DOCTOR SAYS IT'S AN HONOR
While Not Expecting the
Nomination He Would
Gladly Serve.

AS told exclusively in last night g
News" DR.. John D. McGill is looked
upon as a promising candidate for Chair
man of the Democratic State convention.
A News reporter saw DR.. McGill at las
office in the Hudson County National
Bank today. When told that he was
talked of for Chairman of the convention
his eyes sparkled and he smiled as if very
much pleased.
Il have not heard anything TO the effect
that I was thought of for the chair
manship of the convention. and the use
of my name was not authorized, but to
be selected as Chairman of the convention
would be the greatest honor a Democrat
could receive at the hands of his party. j
am not an active politician, you know,
and am not in harness, but l guess
could preside over convention. | have
had some experience presiding over bodies
of various kinds and / never lost my man
yet.
''Of course, you know I am a staunch
Seymour man. 1 am most thoroughly
convinced that Mayor Seymour is the man
to head the ticket He is the logical cam
didate and there is no doubt that will do
80. His election I consider assured. Sem
ator Smith and I are good friends. | adj
mire Smith very much and l know him
well enough to say that he will see that
Seymour is the man the party wants and
he will then get in and the candidate will
have no stronger supporter or worker.
1--WE all know that petty differences
should not exist now. Here is grand
chance to wrest the State from the hands
of those who are obstructing its progress
We should all unite to fight the common
foe. Then victory is sure to attend the
party
t'It is nearly time the people see that
a change is the only thing necessary to
bring the State back to the progressive
stage. A little study will show that the
greatest progress is made with Demo-
cratic Governors. Think of what was
done in the terms of such grand men as
Governors Parker, Bedle and Albeit and
then look at the situation at present.
Government under Republican rule IS
rotten. Anyone can see that The Re-
publican party should be crushed until
the iron enters its very soul. When the
Republicans are in power they insenslbly
r,,n to rotten government. 1t is bred in
the party and the people are realizing
that more and more every day. The
change is coming, and it is coming this
fall'
In speaking of the suggestion that Mr..
Davis succeed Mr.. Gourley as chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, Dr.
McGill said
81 would like to see Mr.. Davis chairman
of the committee He is a most capable
oroo,i1ar and leader. He has, of course,
been largely instrumental in bringing
Mayor Seymour's name out so prominent
ly and he would be fully equipped to
carry the ticket to an overwhelming vic
tory"

NEWARK, Sept. 13, 19O1.-Thomas Far
rell of No. 439 Forty-irst street, New
York, is dying from fractured skull in
st. James's Hospital here, and detectives
are making every effort to learn now he
met his injuries. Shortly after 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon he was found bleed
ing and unconscious in the areaway of
Nicholas Bibbo's lodging house and sa-
looon, at No. 16 Railroad place. The es-
tablishment long has been a resort for
suspicious persons. He was taken to the
hospital where it was found his pockets
had been cut, which led to the suspicion
that he fallen into the hands of thugs.
He recovered consciousness long enough
to make brief statement. He told his
name, and said he lived with his mother,
Bridget Farrell. He had come to Newark
from Asbury Park, where he worked last
summer in the Lafayette Hotel He went
into Bibbo's saloon he said, with s45 in

QUEER BURGLARY
No Sign of Thieves Except the Miss
ing Jewelry.

Detective Frank Bennett, of the Fifth
precinct, is annoyed at the report in
local paper that 5000 worth of valuables
were stolen from the home of George d.
Beinert, at No. 46 Clerk street. As a
matter of fact the stolen property
amounts in value to something less than
$685. The robbery occurred some time be-
tween one and six o'clock last Tuesday
afternoon and was not reported to the
police until eight o'clock Wednesday
night. Detective Bennett investigated the
case Immediately. He could find none OF
the missing property in any of the pawn
shops of the city.
The robbery has many peculiar features.
Mrs. Beinert says she was out visiting
when it occurred. 1t is supposed that
the thief or thieves entered through
basement window, although no signs OF
a window having been tampered with
could be discovered. Another singular
feature is that the thief apparently went
direct to the bureau drawer in which the
iewelry was kept in a box. Nothing else
in the house was taken.

condition, for the bulletins have contain

Secretary Root said then that he would
remain in New York for some time and
would not return to Buffalo until the
President was able to transact business
unless there should be change for the
worse-something no one anticipated. an
view of these statements the hurried re-
turn of Secretary Root to Buffalo this
morning would indicate that he had re-
ceived from the physicians in charge at
Buffalo news that was disquieting, to say
the least.

OUTING AFTERMATH.
Comments Upon the Good
Behavior and Fine APP
pearance Of the Men.

Counsellor John Griffin, counsel to the
Board of Freeholders and ex-Deputy IN
ternal Revenue Collector Joseph Farmer
stood upon the deck Of the steamer Grand
Republic, at College Point, Wednesday
evening, watching the thousands of mem
bers of the Robert Davis Association
boarding the steamer for the return trip
The street leading to the wharf, as Tar
up as could be seen, was thronged with
enthusiastic, light-hearted, well-dressed,
jolly men. They had had a great day OF
ifrolic and sport and all the liquid re-
freshments they wanted free all day, and
yet not one really intoxicated man was
seen among the thousands.
1T is a singular thing remarked
Counsellor Griffin, ''that one seldom sees
a drunken man on the Davis Associa-
tion's outing. That in such a great
crowd. five thousand men on pleasure
bent, for a whole day, not one drunken
man can be found, is remarkable thing
and speaks well for the Davis Associa-
tion.'
THAT is certainly true" said Mr..
Farmer. II have seen many outings OF
organizations only a few hundred strong
on which scores of men went home reel
ing. A proprietor of one of the College
Point resorts told me today that while
the Robert Davis Association was the
largest organization that goes there it
was the only one free of drunken men
during the day, and that fact had for
years been a general matter of comment
among the inhabitants of the village. He
said further that when certain New York
political organizations come there some
of the proprietors of hotels and cafes take
down their clocks for fear of having
them stolen.''
All the officers of the Pioneer Corps re-
ceived ovations along the route of We'd
nesday's parades. But there were two
lines of civilians that were deserving of
especial notice. One was the file of Matt
Rooney, of the Street and Water Board s
clerical staff, that headed the companies
of the association proper. 1t was COM
