huge letters spelling out the word
"Welcome," and on each side of the
portal sat pretty girl dressed as

government wherein every man is
guaranteed in his own rights and is
forbidden to wrong his neghbors.'
Little enthusiasm was manifested by
the white residents of Jacksonville in
the presidents visit, taken as Il whole,
although there was nothing in the re-
ception to which even Mr.. Roosevelt
could take exception.

hand, were enthusiastic TO an extreme.
Between four and five thousand mem
bers of that race, men, women and
children. assembled at the academy.
Decorations in n negro section through
which the drive extended were profuse.
Speaking to the negroes the president
said:
"Do your very best to develop good
teachers, to develop good preachers;
preachers who shall preach to the col
ored man as it should be preached to
the white man, that by your fruits you
shall know them and that the truly re-
ligious man is the man who is decent
and clean in his private life. who is
orderly and law abiding; the man who
hunts down the criminal and does all

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 23:-
The committee on vacancies of the
democratic county convention met
4 ere about 1880 o'clock this after
noon in conjunction with the demo-
cratic county executive committee to
name the candidate to fill the vac
ancy on the assembly ticket caused
by the withdrawal of Bernard M.
Cannon. The result will probably
be the naming of Perth Amboy man
according to interviews secured this
morning. The joint committees had
not decided upon a candidate at 3
o'clock.
John A. Coan is the only member
of the committee on vacancies here,
and, as the certificate of nomination
will have to be signed by all the
other members of the committee, j.
e. Stricken, of Perth Amboy, and
Erastus Tappen, Of Raritan, the dem
ocrats, will have to hustle to get it
in to the county clerks Office by mid
night, the time limit.
All of the other nominations were
filed by Mr Coan at 2:30 O'Clock this
afternoon
At a meeting Saturday night the
committee on vacancies of the demo-
cratic city convention named former
Overseer OF the Poor Lawrence c.
Dalton for Alderman-at-la and
Water Department Lineman John F.
Donahue for Commissioner of APP
peal.
The certificates of nomination were
filed early this morning at the county
clerks Office at New Brunswick.
While no one can say aught against
the candidates, it is significant fact
that, according to the latest city di-
rectory, the five members of the tick
ct live in practically one neighbor-
hood or section of the city, three in
Washington street, one in Division
street near Washington, and one in
Pearl place Under ordinary circum-
stances an entire ticket would not be
composed of men from but one part
of the city, and it is but one of the
many straws which donate how the
wind is blowing in democratic circles.

make as strong fight as possible in
an effort to stem the strong on com
ing republican tidal wave and to poll
as large a vote as any ticket of dem
ocrats could this year
The committee on vacancies, upon
whom developed the laborious task
was Jacob Ludwig, William p.
O'Hara and Bernard j. McNally.
They had a number of men in mind
for nominees, but some were unwill-
ing to accept and others did not
seem entirely satisfactory, but in Mr..
Dalton they believe they have good
man for the presiding officer of the
Board of Aldermen, and in Mr.. Don
ahue an excellent man to take James
Growney's place on the ticket.
