THE MANNER OF VOTING.
1t was here decided, on motion Of Mr., Kelly,
that In voting for Coroner, when . delegaton

individual preference.
Mr.. KELLY then rose and presented the name OF
Richard Croker as candidate for Coroner. He re-
GREETED that the Committee OF Conference had not
been able to agree on the subject OF Coroner. Many
persons might consider him selfish for presenting
the name Of gentleman from his district, but when

wOLTMAN SHOWS UP.
Judge KOCH as Mr.. Kelly took his seat, got up
and nominated Mr.. Henry Wotman.. He said that
the gentleman was from his Assembly district He
conceded that Mr.. Croker was all that Mr.. Kelly
had said he was, but he did not think there was

the strength that district could afford. As for
the personal character and ability OF Mr.. WOltman
they were no wise inferior to the personal charac
ter and ability Of Mr.. Croker. Mr.. Woltman had
always been faithful IN the discharge OF every duty
OF every Official position he had been called to serve
in, and had hosts OF friends everywhere throughout
the length and breadth OF the CITY, His popularity
was stern reality that his opponents would feel
sorely in the coming election II he were nominated.
The German element OF the city was at his back.
Mr.. GILLESPIE seconded the nomination, and
made few remarks eulogfstic OF Mr.. Woltman.
AN ARGUMENT FOR CROKER.
Mr.. KELLY remarked that the Conference Commit

two years ago Mr.. Croker stood aside to make way
for German for the Office OF Coroner. and for this
he was promised the nomination this year. II he

point her out as

and deter others from working hard for her, as
Mr.. Croker had for years, so long as she kept out

Convention to nominate him now as her usual way
OF treating her faithful followers.
THE GERMAN ELEMENT.
DR.. MIERsON claimed that Mr.. Woltman was the
only choice Of the German Democratic Union, and
that he had before the conference committee adj
vOcated his claims as such.
Mr.. MCCLELLAN said he had intended TO support
Mr. Croker but after mature reflection and study
ing the question In all its bearings he had come to
the conclusion to support Woltman. 1t might be
that Croker could gain for Tammany four or five
