How Judge Ashbsl Green Succeeded
In etampsdln0 Democratic Con.
ventlon In New jersey and
Nominating Little Mac"

II must tell you." said the late
Judge Ashbel Green to me. "of the
way In which once stampeded con-
vcntion. And when / tell you that
this was doue in New Jersey, and that
the stampede. as politicians call 1t.
had never been successfully attempt
ed In that state before. you may be-
lieve with me that the incident was
of unusual political interest"
Ashbel Green was one of the great
leading intellects of New Jersey. His
father was president Of Princeton
when the War Of 1912 was being
fought. and he was near of kin to
Commodore Stockton and United
States Senator John p. Stockton. He
was esteemed In his. day one of the
profoundest legal minds both of New
Jersey and New York, and in the lat
ter years of his life was one of the
leading counsel for the Vanderbilt
railroad interest. He died in 1905.
I'VE Democrats of New Jersey. In
the year 1877, were somewhat at sea"
continued Judge Green. There had
been some talk about nominating me
for governor, and I was told that II
| were willing to be a candidate. my
friends could compass my nomination.
But had no ambition to serve as
governor of New Jersey; In fact. my
professional duties would have made
1t impracticable for me at that time
to enter public life.
"a little later learned that GER
tain faction of the party had made
up its mind to nominate as candidate
for governor a man who. in my opin-
ion, was not mentally fitted for the
post of governor and on whom
feared that personal attacks, whether
well grounded or not, might be made,
to the party's serious embarrassment
at the polls. The organization con-
trolled the convention; what were
those of us who did not like its can
didate to do? After thinking the
matter over, II seemed to me that the
only way to beat the organization was
to stampede the convention. But
what name would be potent enough
to take the convention off its feet?
"As was seriously thinking the
matter over happened to remember

a few days.
After breakfast. on the second
morning of my arrival at the hotel, |
went to the mems parlor to look over
the morning papers. Presently there
entered two elderly men, who seemed
to be warm friends. In appearance
they were typical of the dignified. cul
tivated, quiet-mannered merchant OF
Boston. Anyone seeing them would
have said at once that they were own
ers of vessels plying between Boston
and China or the West Indies. One OF
them jingled some coins in a pocket;
the other tossed ring OF small TOOLS
back and forth in his hands. They
took their stand near where ! was
seated.

whole capital stock" could not help
hearing one of them say. Il WOULDN'T

asked me to do 1t as a sort of favor to
him."
But hear that DR.. Hubbard has
at last worked out plan for market

headed business man." spoke up the
other
Before the first speaker could reply

manner also indicated the successful

rapid step as his dignity would per

both hands first to one OF them. then
to the other.
This is very surprising" he ex-

The pair looked at the newcomer as
