II was after three o'clock when the con-
vention of yesterday reassembled. For
an hour previous the crowds had poured
into the Opera House through every en-
trance and crowded all the seats and
boxes and ran over into the aisles- 1t was
an enthusiastic crowd and left no possi-
bIe doubt as to who they wanted for Gov
ernor. Cheers and cries for Seymour,
Seymour, filled the house and at times
even drowned the notes of the band which
ayvav up in the gallery was exerting itself
- the utmost to make itself heard above
the din.
The leading Seymour men were cheered
and applauded to the echo. while misses
and groans were heard when SENATOR

d. Young and Robert Davis were given
he heartiest reception when they came
N together and took their seats among

when finally Chairman Woodruff called

was occupied. It was evident that these
men were not all delegates, and it was
thought that they had been placed there
by the Smith men TO endeavor to check
the Seymour tide, which was rapidly ris-
ing. Judge Woodruff called for the re-
port of the Committee on Permanent Or
eanization, and c. Meyer zulick Of Mon
mouth, the chairman, announced that the
committee had elected William B. Gour-
lev of Passaic for permanent chairman.
At this the Smith men set up howl.

Chairman Gourley banged away for orasr
and finally succeeded in putting the ques-
tion: Shall the report of the committee
be sustained?' to viva voce VOTE
There was chorus of ayes and long
loud and overwhelming chorus OF noes.
1t was evident that every one IN the
theatre had voted and the chair SAID ne
was In doubt and could not decide. The
storm broke out anew and lasted several
minutes. when the chairman put the
question to a viva voce vote again with
the same result
When order was again restored Meyer
Zulick's motion that the roll be called on
the question was carried and the seere-
tary called the counties. Atlantic ana
Bergen started of with solid votes for
the report and Burlington went soiiuiy
against it, Camden split with 6S for ana
"a against. Cape May was solid for the
report and Cumberland divided her 50
votes, giving II for the report. Gloucester
was solid for the report and Essex was
passed Up to this time the vote was
supposed to present the relative strength
OF the two factions in the counties, put

That danrived the vote of all signii-
cance and the chairman announced that
the ranort was sustained by an over
whelming majority. This action of Hud-
son had most depressing effect on the
smith men. They realized that the Sey-
mour men must have a confidence of VIC
tory that nothing could shake or they
would not have thus given up the fight
The convention then took up the Sc
lection of a candidate for Governor and
a hustle of expectation ran over the
house. When Atlantic was called ex-
AssembIyman James l.. Van Syckle, for
merly of Cumberland county, nominated
Thomas Ferrell in good speech. He
spoke of him as man who had come
up from the people and had wrought at
the mechanics bench. He declared that
Mr. Ferrel had been engaged all ms NE
in only one contest, and that was the
contest in behalf Of the workingman
against the injustice which assaiied MN.

OPPOSE LEASE OF LAND
CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN WANT
OPEN RANGE.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov 2-Dispatches re-
ceived in this city from Harrison, Neb.,l
are to the effect that an organization of
the cattlemen of that vicinity is being
effected to cooperate with cattlemen
and sheep men of Wyoming in opposition
to a bill providing for the leasing of the
government lands. This bill is to be in
troduced in the coming session of con-.
gress and has been the subject of much
discussion in Western commercial Cir
cles The Omaha Commercial club has
by resolution announced it's opposition to
the measure. 1t has been stated that
Senator Millard, of Nebraska, will m-1
troduce the bill, but in an interview to-
day Senator Millard declares that he has
not yet decided as to whether or not he
will present the measure. Senator Diet
rich has announced his support of the
measure. The National Irrigation con-
gress on the other hand is opposing it.
1t is understood here that bill has been
prepared by a prominent live stock man
in the western part of the state, which
has met the approval of the interests
which are supporting the bill, and that
this is the bill which will be presented.
The interests which are behind the meas
.ure are the large cattle and sheep raisers
of Nebraska, Wyoming. Colorado and
Montana.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The govern
11ent of Nicaragua has terminated the
treaty under which the United States
was empowered to construct an inter-
oceanic canal across the territory of Mic
aragua. This action has been conveyed
to the state department by the Nicara
guam minister for foreign affairs. That
official declares that the renunciation in
nowise affects the friendly relations be-
tween the two countries and the Nicara-
guam government desires the conclusion
of new treaties.
Besides the treaty of friendship, COM

the right to construct and guard canal,
the convention will expire October IA,
1902, which is one year from the date the
notice was received at the state depart
ment. The extradiction treaty termi-

an and eight men, broke from its fasten-
ings at Eleventh and Folsom streets this
evening and f1oated to the neighborhood
of Redwood City, about thirty miles dis
tant. There the occupants of the balloon
are reported to have landed unharmed.
The balloon had been sent up several
times during the afternoon with passen-
gers. 1t was fastened to the ground by
1,000-foot rope cable one and quarter
inches in diameter. While descending on
the fifth trip, about 500 feet from the
ground, the rope broke fifty feet from
balloon To the horror of the spectators,
the balloon rapidly shot up in the air
to a height of 1000 feet or more and
floated away in southerly direction. 1t
landed in the hills near Redwood CITY,
and a brief report from that place was
received saying none of the passengers
was hurt. Among them in the balloon
were: Mrs. J. Dunsell, of this city; Ed
ward c. Dudley who is said to be an
aeronaut of considerable experience ana
a eynnast named Leon. The balloon had
a lifting power of 1000 pounds.
If developed late tonight that the an
no,1ncem6 MT that the balloon landed near
Redwood City was premature A teie-
phone message from La Honda says that
ihe balloon passed over that place about
o'clock at the height of 1900 feet. There
seemed to be no one in the car of the
balloon The country where the balloon
was last seen is rough and sparsely set
tied, and it is unlikely that any furtner
news can be obtained tonight.

STATE. CAMPAIGN IN OHIO IS NOW
PRACTICALLY AT An
END
DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL
Republicans Have Used the Assas-
sinatiOn of President Mckinley
as an Argument to
Voters
SOME TALKED STATE ISSUES

CINCINNATI, Nov 2.-The speaking
campaign in Ohio closed tonight, with
many meetings in different parts of the
state. The closing rally here was ad
dressed by Col. James Kilbourne, the
Democratic candidate for governor; Hon.
Charles w. Baker, candidate for United
States senator; Hon. James Fitzgerald; ;;
Gen. Hiram D. Peck Hon. Theodore
Horstman and NJ. A: Daugherty, chair
man of the state committee; at Cleveland
by Senators Hanna and Foraker and
others, and at Troy by Gov. Nash and
others. On account of the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the speaking began at a
much later date than usual. The Repub-
hcans held their opening meeting Oct
19, and had eleven days of campa igning
The Democrats opened their speaking
campaign Oct 23, and had only eight
days. For this reason there will be some
meetings next Monday, notably the meet
ing of Senator Hanna at Elyria In addi-
ton to the state candidates, senator's
and congressman, the Republicans have
had many speakers from other states,
including Speaker Henderson and several
congressman from other states The Dem
ocratic speakers have been limited to Col
Kilbourne and his associates on the
Democratic state ticket; Hon Charles w.
Baker, who is a candidate for senator,
and Others There have been no Demo-
Gratis from other states on the stump.
No Outside Democrats.
Early in the campaign it was proposed
to have ex-senator Hill, of New York
Then others wanted Bryan When it was
decided that neither of these distinguish
ed Democrats would participate in the
campaign, the conservative policy was
extended also to Ohio speakers, so that
Democrats who had been prominent
either as gold or silver advocates were
not assigned in the speaking canvass.
The most noted case was John r. Nc
Lean, the Democratic candidate against
Gov. Nash two years ago. It had been
expected ever since the Democratic.
speaking campaign opened that he would
be in Ohio very soon, but up to tonight
he is in Washington, and the discussion
among the Democrats and Republicans
has been feature of the campaign None
of the Democratic congressman have par
ticipated in the speaking campaign, ex-
cept DR.. ]. G. Norton, who was called out
when the campaign was opened in his
district. 1t was then Judge LentZ, who
is a neighbor of Col Kilbourne, offered
his service, but he was not given any as
Signment.
While the Republicans have such
speakers as Senator Fairbanks, of In
diana; Senator Burrows, of Michigan;
Gov. Shaw, of Iowa; Gov. Geer, of
Oregon; Congressman Henderson and
Lands and others, the Democrats
brought out new men, and these from
their own state only.
