iro, Asbury Lloyd meantime moving TO ad-
Journ, and shouting "fair play"
vote was taken and announced without
II being distinctly understood what Il was
on, whereupon Mr.. John L. Norris took the
chair and addressed few words TO the meet
Ing, endeayoring to pour oil upon the trou-
bled waters.
Some dlsapprobation was here manifested,
and MT. Lloyd wanted tellers appointed to
ascertain who was president.
MI. L. Murray claimed that Mr.. Norris
had been elected chairman, and that gentle
man assumed the duties thereof.
Mr.. B. V. Noyes was elected secretary.
Nominations for Aldermen were then.or-
dered, and Messrs. Robert Ball, Cornelius
Wendell and Asbury Lloyd were named.

fusion but few understood what was being
done, and cries Of all sorts were raised.
During temporary lull, Mr.. Barbour
read letter from Mr.. Asbury Lloyd de-
Ginning to be q candidate for Alderman.
The Chair called upon the tellers to take
their positions, and then commenced another
series OF motions, and soon the excitement
was greater than before. There was talk
about putting somebody out, and all sorts of
noise, the president, Mr.. Norris, rising and
appealing In vain for order. lie said he
could not talk to the waves Of the ocean, but
II order was preserved he would try and
make himself heard.
The confusion still continued, and all
business seemed blocked up for the time.
Ire chairman remarked that If no business
could be done the meeting had better close.
lCries of "take the voter "scnd for n COM
pany Of Marines" &c.
Mr.. Norris finally remarked that he could
not preside over such n meeting, and vacated
the chair.
The irrepressible Tom Frazier mounted
the platform and nominated VIM. Lord for
president, and put the question on his own
nomination, but the yeas and nays were
equally vociferous; so nothing was accom-
plished.
After a little more wrangling, the pros
poets meanwhile looking blue for q success
ful meeting, DR.. Clayton addressed n few
words to the crowd, which produced q little
quietudc, and he took advantage of the op-
portunlty and nominated John II. ScmmCs
for president Of the meeting, which seemed
TO be acceptable, and he was elected.
Order being restored, Mr.. Scmmes assumed
the chair, and Mr.. S. V. Noycs was again
unanimously elected secretary.
Nominations for candidates for Alderman
were again called for, and Mcssrs. Robert
Ball and Cornelius Wendell were nominated.
The appointment of tcllcrs created some
commotion, and amid some swearing they
took their places; Mr.. A. Il. Allen being APP
pointed sergeant-at-arms TO aid them In
clearing space large enough TO take the
ballot.
Tho pressure was great during the rcccp-
tion of the votes, but the tellcrs were vigil
liant, and one chap was caught trying 10
!"doublc-up" on them, and he was compelled
to take 1t back amid cries of "put him out"

had retired, nominations for candidates for
Common Council were made rs follows

and T. D. Sandy.
Tcllcrs were appointed, and took their po-
sition TO receive the votes, the crowd pressing
around them and clamorlng at such a rate
that the place seemed a perfect bedlam.
There was confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
fight threatened. Several fights threatened.
The Chair raped in vain for order. Cries
Of "You voted twice." "You don't belong
to this ward; .'Put him OUT "Closc the
POLLS" &c. Dennis Mcnamara mounted
table and exclaimed, Spy God, every man
In this convention has got right to vote"
and In reply, Put him out ~ was shouted.

in relation to the candidate for assessor. he
threw a lot of tickets In the air marked. "For
Assessor, I. &. Eckcls," cXclaimiug: "GCu-
tlemen, there's my ticket. II you all live
till election day you will sec plenty of them.
I'm going to beat this party" Upon which
he Indignantly withdrew.
About this time there was some excite
mcnt outside the door, caused by the break
Ing up of the Republican meeting being held
