the General Assembly by acclamation.
They were:
Louis H. Miller, of Vineland, and

Milville was astir from early morn
ing, and long before noon the dele
gates from the various wards and
townships began arriving in town,
and the corner where the Weatherby
House is located was the scene of ac-
tivity.
By one O'Clock, an hour before the
Convention, there was great crowd
about the streets, and the vast major
ity had pinned upon the lapels of
their coats blue badges upon which
was the photograph and name of B.
Frank Buck, the hustling young news
paper man of Millville.
Col. Jarvis Wanser, of Vineland,
was early upon the scene and had
headquarters upon the second floor of
the Weatherby House. Postmaster
Frank Wanser was with him and AS
semblyman Louis HI. Miller was
brushing around among the boys. He
had no fight on his hands and was
smilingly greeting everyone.
Postmaster Austin, of Millville,
was engaged all the while. His head
quarters were in the saddle as man
ager Of the Buck campaign and
seemed to be entirely assured that the
Convention would be harmonious
one.
Assemblyman Moore was an hour
among the forces, and as suggested in
the Pioneer was in no wise a can
didate for denomination. He was
happy as he shook hands with every
one, and upon his coat was a big
Buck badge. Revenue. Collector Morris
Davis was in consultation among the
leaders Fand did not seem to be a
stranger to anybody. He was among
those who assisted in shaping the
