CONGRATULATIONS FOR Mr.. YOUNG
He Predicts That Newark's
Mayor Will Garry Essex
By a Large Majority.
SEYMOUR SURE TO WIN
Politicians Express Their Con
viction of Democracy's
Certain Triumph.

City Collector Robert Davis was at his
desk at the usual hour this morning. It's
hardly necessary to say that he Is in
happy frame of mind after the result OF
His great fight to land Mayor Seymour,
of Newark, as the Democratic Guberna-
torial candidate. Politicians from various
parts of the county called to eongratu-
late him and kilograms of congratula-
ton came in from all parts Of the State
The general opinion was expressed that
Seymours nomination was the strongest
that could have been made in the State.
Mr.. Davis said that he felt as confident
Of seymoair's election as he had felt all
along of his nomination. He said he ex-
pected strong opposition to seymour's
nomination, but he felt sure that those
who opposed Seymour would now fall In
line and help elect him 1t was but nat
ural, he said, in Democratic conventions,
to have contest, and the one of yester-
day only served to show that the party
in the State was in healthy condition
Mr.. Davis said he felt sure that ex-sena-
tor smith and his followers in
Newark would support Seymour and
that the Democratic vote in Es-
sex county would not be inn
also said he had assurances that the Car
row and Ferrell supporters would work
as earnestly for Seymour's election as
had the convention nominated either one
or the other.
Mr.. Edward F. C. Young was warmly
complimented this morning when he ar
rived at the First National Bank by
great many people on the great victory
of yesterday, A peculiar feature Of this
was that Republicans even had something
pleasant to say about the generaiship dis
played. and they admitted that in James

FAGAN IS AFRAID
Would Like a Fifth Term, But
Is Afraid of a Beating.

Judging from present appearances the
Hoboken fusien movement viii be a
fizzle. At the outset there were at least
half dozen candidates mentioned for the
Mayoralty nomination. but these have
dropped off one by one until now there
remains practically no one who will lead
the ticket. 1t was confidently expected
that Henry Timken would accept, but
Mr.. Timken is firm in his statement that
he will not run.
The Fusionists will meet tonight at
Meyers Hotel to choose a candidate, but
as they have poor list to select from 1t
is more than likely that action in the
matter will be postponed. The only avail

knew no bounds, and their cheers almost
raised the roof while the secretaries were
adding up the total. Before the result
could be announced Bergen's Is rushed
over to Seymour and were quickly fol-

NEWARK, Oct. ?, 1901. Mayor James
M Seymour, Democratic nominee for
Governor, was besieged this morning with
callers at the city Hail. Every prominent
Democrat of the city called to offer their
congratulations He bore his honors mod
estly and was much affected with the
good wishes of his friends and partisans.
Amid all his engagements he gave brief
interview to a News representative.
The Mayor is a man of truly Democratic
manners, easy to approach and OF most
frankness are at once noticeable. No one
could ever accus eAfr Seymour OF being
..inebriated with the exuberance of his
own verbosity." He is as careful OF his
words as Won Moltke, of whom it was
said he would hold his tongue in six
languages. Direct and to the point are
his utterances and there is an honest ring
to everything he says. He talks as # he
meant Just what he said-no more no
less.
