Mr.. ConOver hoped the resolutions of Gen Cochrane
would be adopted and that all would into the election
resolved t stand by another and adhere to the ticket
as printed. He believed that such rket would draw
1000 votes.
Mr. RchardsOu-The Committee Of Conference made a
reuort and they abstaned from all comment but re-
ported their matter pure and simple 1t WAS ticket
which contained first the Of sigel for Register
next the names of gentlemen for positions upon the Bench
one Judge Of the Supreme Court, two Judges Of the
Superior Court, one Of the Marine Court, and
then the names Of thirteen well selected gentlemen
for Aldermen. That ticket was the result OF several
earnest conferences Gen. COchranes resOlu
tOn states think the Committee Of Seventy, at the
instance OF some Republicans on that Committee have
gone to work meddng with sonic things beyond their
reach, which should not have been done think know
where the trouble from, and think 1t don't come
from the Greeley wing OF the Committee. 1t Ba very
singular coincidence that the names OF that ticket are
the very names agreed on In compromise mace De-
tween us and the Hugh Gardner County Convention.
Mr. TOuSey remarked that the ticket referred 10 had
been printed In the editorial colunns'Of THE TRIBUNE
The resolution carried.
Mr. I1Rgat suggested that II would be well TO appoint
come COMMITTEES TO wait upon the Committee OF Seventy
ApJ Wr Kennedy said IL would do no good now to
make protest and could only hurt the success Of the
ticket. . ,,.
