With four changes in the names for
the Assembly nominations the Demo-
cratic primary slate was adopted by
the Essex County Democratic Commit
tee at it's meeting in Persons Hall, III
Plane street, last night. The names of
Messrs. Hyland, Balentine, Hermann
and Mylod were substituted for those
of Herold M. Anderson, Jacob L. New
man, Charles Scheffmeyer. n Richard
Hensler, who decided that for business
and other reasons they would be unable
to get into the running. John ]. Berry
was the only one mentioned for surro-
gate.
The platform for the 1909 campaign
was also adopted. 1t had been pre-
pared by the committee appointed by
Chairman Tyler Parmly last week, and,
after being read by superintendent of
Buildings William P. O'Rourke, was
unanimously adopted.
The Assembly ticket as passed last
night had been made up in the after
NON at q meeting of the party leaders.
But one attempt was made to change
the list, and that was by Owen F. Con-
Ion, who wished the name of Peter T.
Hines, of the Eighth Ward. added to
those Endorsed by the committe for the
Assembly. Mr.. Conlon said that he
on,,Il coo M cnp UNIV txxrnIxra- =, a r.
should not be Endorsed instead of the
eleven allowed to Essex county by law.
He did not want to offer the name of
his man in substitution. When the
question came to a vote, after a long
debate, the Eighth warders stood by
Conlon and Hines, but only mustered
twenty-seven votes against the 113 that
defeated the motion.
Owing, to illness in the family of
Chairman John F. Monahan, of the
county executive committee, he IA
unable to attend the meeting and in his
place the report of the committee, tell
Ing of its work during the week, was
e by Judge Charles F. Herr. On
his motion the candidates for nominal
ton were adopted.
Before adjournment Judge Herr
moved that Chairman Parmly appoint
a committee IN city platform and that
the committee report to the Newark
members of the county committee at
a meeting to be held on Tuesday, Sep
TEMPER Z, at s o'clock. The Newark
members were to have held a confer
enee last night, but the campaign
committee deemed 1t advisable to take
some more time to prepare a city plat
form and to give the question of
Board of Works nominee further dis
cussion. Candidates for nomination
for Board of Works will be decided
upon at the session set for two weeks
from tonight.
The committee appointed ON the city
platform by Mr.. Parmly consists Of
Owen f. Conlon, of the Eighth ward;
DR.. Patrick j.. McGuiness, of the
Fourth Ward; Tax Commissioner
Thomas F. Preston, of the Tenth
Ward; former Freebooter Charles J.
Watson, of the Eleventh Ward and

Ward. i

With a lengthy and bitter denuncia-
ton of his enemies and an avowal of
his candidacy for the position of chair
man of the Republican County Commit
tee, Major Carl Lentz. after an absence
of three years, last night, in Bergen
Hall, stepped back into the limelight of
the public eye. PINNED for a long and
strenuous struggle.
Governor Fort, David Baird and other
State leaders were mentioned as being
opposed to the candidacy of the major.
but their opposition was lightly passed
over, compared to the 1aying given the
present chairman, Alfred n. Dalrymp,e;
former Senator Everett Colby, former
Sheriff Frank H. Sonmer and a num-
Der of other persons more or less pronii-
nent.
Colonel Austen Colgate, who has been
mentioned as a possible candidate of
the Colbyites for the position, received
a pleasant tribute from the major, but
was warned that he was in badly COM
pany.
The major was full of his old-time
vlgor and his speech showed that he
has thoroughly gone over the ground
and Is well acquainted with the condi-
tons as they exist.
An Enthusiastic Meeting.
Last nights meeting was never in
to reach the proportions it did,
it being the intention of those in
charge simply to have a conference of
the business men of the ward With a
view to obtaining organized support for
the major. So nan crowded around in
an effort to gain admission, however,
that the doors We're finally thrown open
to all, and even then there was not
enough room. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed at all times, the applause in
terrupting the speaker time and time
again. especially when the major, in
lis energetic manner, laid stress on the
nature of the OPT osition to him and the
methods hat are being pursued to de-
feat him.
During the evening the following
resolutions of support Were unanimous
ly passed:
We, citizens, taxpayers and Re-
publicans of the Sixth Wand. in
