He hopes to reap a harvest from som seed
already sown,
He schemes to file his Record In the Nations

Where the much loved Dryden makes a rec

CHORUS. ~
In New Jersey, In New Jersey, s'
We now sing our tuneful lays
Of the statesmen. OF the laymen and the
fishes in the bays.
In New Jersey. in New Jersey,
uhara che ppI- loo ara piFa u-harA M Gpirit
Of reform need come now nor evermore.
The relief train that came out from Jersey
City consisted Of eigh Pullman cars viii
an observation platform on the last one.
Each car was manned by three porters,
one to open and two TO serve. Disgruntlsd
travellers who think that Pullman porter5
don't work shoul1 nave been aboard.
There was an ever changing group Of
statesmen on the oh servation platform on
the journey 40 oss the State, looking at
the crops and any stray Jersey Democrats
there might be.
Although tho train male express speed
between sta ions it was a ~leisurely run with
stops at every town between the Hudson
and the Delaware to take aboard the most
distingui shell citizens of each community.
So when the train reached Camden the eight
Pullmans were full. AS a rule the. execu-
tive officers of corporations sat in the thi d
CARD which was named dives. So many
statssmsn got aboard at Trenton that an
extra lOCDUlDttN6 was Unnecessary W HtlP
push the train out Of the station.
By all odds the most noticeable thing OF
the day was the sustained dignity OF Judg,
Warren w. Foster Of New York, one OF the
few que ats from outside Of Jersey. He
wore the only silk hat am frocS coat in
!, that comoauy of 400 and he never removed
tina. hat except in the presence Of the shad
AMI not once during the day was a single
button Of tina! sombre looking coat n o.
1t was almost depressing at times, es-
train at Camden for the return trip. The
temperature in the cars was 90, but Judge
Warren w. Foster never flinched. Judge
Blair Of New Jersey, who may be the Re-
was in his shirt sleeves and 40 was III omas
n. McCarter Of the Public Services Cor
poration and Robert A. McCarter, the At
torney-General, while ordinary county
leaders and State law ma kers had their
hanging, But Judge Foster held his own
and the dignity Of the State OF New York
rover sagged an inch. He was as rigid as
Gov. ~Pennypackar of Pennsylvania, OF
whom the Jersey folks got a glimpse on the
Delaware River. The Governor was sitting
in the stern of a launch tied up at the Phil
adelphia dock, to which the shad party's
steamboat, Sylvan Dell, went for Senator
Dryden and the rest OF the washington
delegation. The Governor was sitting with
his back to the Sylvan Dell and wouldn't
so much as nod to the statesmen from
across the river, not even when the TWO
boats bumped.
The trip home last night was u%nevent-
full save for the fact that the commissary
department. on each OF the eight Pullmans
ran out OF mineral water. Twice the pillow
on the locomotive scooped up ,ohasers
from the water trough between the rails,
but it was all needed for the boilers.
Colby was invited to the party, but didn't
attend. Some said that he didn't like shad.
Major-Gen. Plume said that all the con-
servatives of the State wera for Dryden.
