A SOLDIER’S FUNERAL.
Private James E. Babcock Burled With
Military Honors,
One of the largest funerals ever seen
in this vicinity was that of James E.
Babcock, the yonng soldier who died at
Jacksonville. At the Baptist Church,
where services were conducted by the
Rev. S. Z. Batten, D. D., there was
hardly standing room. There were
numerous and handsome floral offerings,
one of the prettiest of which was pre
sented by Company M, to which the de
ceased belonged. Lieut. Ernest Goodell
and Sergt. Arthur Kelly, also of this
company, of the Second New Jersey
Volunteers, were present at the services
and accompanied the procession to Ever
green Cemetery, where burial was
made in the soldiers’ plot. Here, too
were many persons who saw the last re
mains of one of the many hundreds of
soldiers who have died for country
lowered to the grave. A squad of twelve
soldiers in charge of Sergt. S. C. McLeod,
of the Third Texas Volunteers, fired a
volley over the grave and the whole
scene was an impressive and pathetic
one. The pall bearers were members of
Private Babcock’s company, as follows:
William .Hayes and Charles Bodine of
Morristown; William Rerrick and Chris
topher Nichols of Dover.
Soldier-Correspondent Letcher Home.
Charles Letcher of this city, who was
the correspondent of the Chronicle
while the Second Regiment, N. J. V.,
was encamped at Jacksonville, is home
on a furlough. He spent five weeks in
the hospital at Pablo Beach, Fla., suffer
ing with typhoid. His stories from
“Camp Cuba Libre” were read with in
terest by the people of Morris county.
Continued from, First Page,
which had so rapidly changed the world’s
affairs within a few months. In closing,
the speaker said:
“It has been the happy result of this
war to have brought back, forever we
trust, that entire esteem, confidence and
affection, the old good humor, between
the people of the North and the South,
as in the days when Adams and Hamil
ton and Jay labored and conferred in
fraternal harmony with Patrick Henry
and Thomas Jefferson and the Pinckneys
about our country’s interests.”
The temporary organization was made
permanent and the following platform
adopted:
A SOUND PLATFORM.
“We affirm our adhesion and devotion
to the fundamental principles of the
National Republican party, as set forth
in the platform adopted at the St. Louis
convention in 1896; that we specially
declare our undying opposition to any
proposition to debase the National cur
rency, a proposition so repugnant to the
honest voters of New Jersey. that when
it was presented to them in all its bare
iniquity in 1896 they promptly buried it
under an unprecedented majority of
87,000, and declared in favor of the
representatives of National honor and
honesty, McKinley and Hobart.
“We heartily approve and indorse the
administration of President McKinley.
His treatment of domestic questions has
more than fulfilled all expectations, and
the wisdom of his foreign policy and the
firmness and dignity with which it has
been maintained, have won for him not
only the confidence and approbation of
our own people, but the highest respect
of the civilized world.
“Involved without due preparation in
a war in the interests of humanity he
pursued a course which commanded
united support at home and effectively
silenced the assaults of interested diplo
macy abroad.
“In three months this conflict was
brought to a practical end with a smaller
percentage of loss from battle and
disease than in any war of modern times,
and with the result of freeing a suffering
people from a rule of cruelty and oppres
sWh, of acquiring new and valuable
territory, of opening to our people new
avenues of trade and commerce, fur
nishing new outlets and demands for the
agricultural and industrial product of
our people, and, above all, providing to
millions of our fellow creatures an open
door to those blessings of education and
of civil and religious liberty which have
for a hundred years’Tollowed the ad
vance of the American flag.
“We take a special-pride as Jerseymen
that the eminent citizen whom this State
gave to the National administration
elected In 1896 has been so singularly
capable and potential in the office of
Vice-President and has invested that
tation with rare dignity and influences
and we repose entire confidence in the
wisdom and patriotism of the President
and the commission appointed by him to
negotiate such a treaty of peace as will
meet the just expectations of our people
by insisting on an adjustment in which
the interest of this republic and of civil
ization and humanity will be secured as
far as possible as the fruits of the valor
of our soldiers and sailors in the war
min opain.
‘ ‘Called to the Presidency in a time of
National bankruptcy, caused by the mal
administration of the Democratic party,
William McKinley was commissioned by
the American people to restore confi
dence, to re-establish a tariff system
under which American labor and capital
might recover from the blighting effects
of the Wilson bill, save our financial
system from the dangers of Bryanism
in order that American enterprise might
go boldly forward to the development of
our resources, Under his administra
tion business has revived, labor has
found employment and prosperity is re
turning.
“These things have been accomplished
notwithstanding the fact that in his
effort to execute the people’s mandate
the President has been shackled with a
hostile Senate. How much more can be
accomplished if for the remainder of his
term the President and his administra
tion have the support and sympathy of a
Congress friendly in both branches.”
Acting Governor Voorhees was placed
in nomination by Congressman Fowler,
when Congressman Pitney, chairman of
the delegation from .Morris county, took
the floor, saying, after the delegates
finished cheering the popular Congress
man from the Fourth district. “It gives
me great pleasure in behalf of my coun
ty, and great personal pleasure, to move
that the rules be suspended and that Fos
ter M. Voorhees be declaree the nominee
os this convention by acclamation.” The
secretary accordingly cast the ballot, and
Foster M. Voorhees was declared the
nominee. The happy Senator from
Union was called to the platform and ac
cepted the nomination in a spirited
speech. In response to repeated calls
Congressman Pitney spoke briefly upon
the issues of the campaign, and the con
vention adjourned.
Curtain at the Lyceum Caught Fire.
A serious fire was narrowly averted in
the Lyceum Monday night during an in
termission of a performance being given
by Rice’s Comedians. From a gas jet
one of the curtains became ignited, but
the blazing canvas was dropped to the
floor and with the aid of rugs and sev
eral pails of water it was extinguished.
As the accident occurred during the in
terval between the acts the drop curtain
was down and the audience, being un
able to see the blaze, remained in the
seats.
A Birth Day Rally.
The members of Dr. 8. R. Osmun’s
Bible Class and their friends will com
memorate the sixtieth birthday of the
doctor in the rooms of the American
Volunteers, old Banner building, on
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. A num
ber of railroad men prominent in reli
gious work, old veterans and others will
assist the class members. Patriotic
songs will be rendered and in addition to
a service of prayer and praise, remarks
will be made by a number of well known
persons who have been invited, includ
ing Bishop Fitzgerald, Rev. A. H. Tuttle
and Peter Gulick.
