! airy Honor.

Fol the first time in years the Joel

Srnost influential Democratic organi-
s@zation in this section of the State.
which held its annual outing yester-
day to Pleasure Bay, was deprived
ssoi the honor of making up the party
SLATE for the city and county offices.
Slate-making has always been one
<of the principal attractions of the
sgearly outing. and its absence was
s1keenly felt by the majority of yes
terday's gathering. The time-hon-
sored custom was prevented by the
yhction of the county committee in
seompleting its slate on the hight
previous.
e Formerly the outing was neld a
week earlier, before the selections had
been made by the county oammittee-
~bers of the association. Eatisfaction
OF the selections of the committee.
@however, was expressed on all Sides.
1And a hearty Endorsement given to
~bll of the candidates. Prominent
Democrats from all sections nf the
s%county we're among the party # mora
than 300 which made lie trip, ard
even the rain which fell during the
day and prevented several of the
Eecheduled attractions failed to dampen

with which the party ticket was
greeted and declared that It spoke
we'll for the success of the nrganiza-
ton candidates at. the primaries and

be prevailed upon to deliver an sd
dress.
