THE RADICALS In COUNCIL.
Il SECOND CONVENTION AND ITS
RESULTS.
The Amended Thames OF the
Party Candidates.

According to the programme determined on
in caucus Wednesday night, the Radical Nomi-
mating Convention reassembled last night at
the Market Hall. Nominally 1t was held to fill
vacancies on the ticket, caused By the with
drawal of Major E. Willis and Mr.. Archibald
Cameron; but in reality the object was to over
haul the whole ticket, and to give it, If practi-
cable, some colo- Of ability and decency.
Itwas known early in the day that Mr.. T. J.
Mackey had consented, for what Mr. Trapbois
called "a consideration to waive his claims
to the aldermanlc chair. Coroner Taft and
Washington were equally accommodating.
There was, indeed, no room for child's play.
The chief of police had interviewed Governor
Scott in Columbia. Constable Hubbard and
Mr.. Timothy Hurley had hurried to the scene.
in order to give to the New England section OF
the Ring the assistance of their advice and long
experience. There was but one conclusion
the Mackey party must take modified back
seat. The ticket mus. be bolstered up by the
introduction of some respectable names. Un-
less this were done, defeat was certalni and
Mayor Plllsbury, packing his trunks, would
make his way Ito hum" How far the con-
vention was guided by the advice of very disin-
terested friends, the new nominations will
show.
After some discussion, conducted with less
heat than might have been expected, the con-
yention reconsidered the action of Tuesday,
and rescinded all Its nominations. Balloting
then began.

this ward are: Messrs. James F. Green, one

This completed the nominations; but mo-
tlon was made to reconsider the nomination
from Ward S. An acrimonious debate ensued,
lasting for long time. The motion to recon-
slider was finally carried, and A. A. Aspinall
was nominated in the place of VIM. A. Grant.

nations were made unanimous, and cheers
were given for the. Reconstructed Ticket. The
convention then adjourned little after two
o'clock this morning.
