should be endorsed on his ticket. and should
be called out aloud as the ballot was deposi-
ted.
After the ballots had been cast, and the

of Mr.. Peyton Wise objected to Mr.. Moses

position that made him peculiarly interested
| In the success of Mr.. Kelley.
Much disorder followed, and Dir. Philip
J.. Wright declined to act any further ~
teller. Mr. Moses also withdrew for the sake
OF harmony, and Messrs. j. II. Claiborne and
b. I. August, by request of the friends Of
both candidates for Mayor, acted as tellers in
place of Messrs. Wright and Moses.

The Monroe Ward meeting took place at
st. Adams Hall, and was one OF the largest
ever held there. 1t was called TO order by
MIR. Samuel II. Pulliam, ward superintend-
ent, who explained its object and expressed
the hope that harmony and good order
would prevail, and that the delegation
elected might give satisfaction to all.
Captain Henry Hudnal nominated for
chairman Mr.. Peter W. Grubbs. The nomi-
nation was seconded by MIR. James 4. Fish
er; and Mr. Grubbs was thercupon unani-
mouSly elected. Upon assuming the chair
he declared that he meant TO be just and i'm
partial, and to act independently. His only
wish was that the delegates to be chosen
would select the very best men for the offices
to be filled. That in his opinion was the
sole object to be attained.
He then stated that he was ready to enter
tain motions.
Mr. Charles Nj. Wallace nominated for Sec
retarics Messrs. John G. Wade and Frank
D. Hill, and they were elected without op-
position.
Dir. W. S. White moved that the Jefferson
Ward regulations be adopted for the guild
ance Of the meeting in chosng delegates
Mr.. w. L. Royal offered a series of reso-
lutions as q substitute for Mr.. Whites mo-
ton.
After some discussion between hessrs.
White, Royal. and Wallace, Mr. Royals re-
solutions were amended so rs to substantl-
ally embody the features Of the Jefferson
Ward regulations, and were then adopted
in the form following:
1st. That one person shall be designated
by the chairman as crier, Who snail oe sta-
ltioned on the platform, and there receive
the ballots and announce the name OF the
voter; and four tellers shall count the votes
and report the result to the chairman, who
shall announce the same to the meeting.
I'd. The name of each voter shall be written
on the back of his ballot.
Sd. The twelve persons having the hlsnest
number of votes shall be the delegates from
Monroe Ward to the Nominating ConVen-
ton.
4th. The secretaries shall record the votes.
On motion Of Mr.. D. 3. Jones, 1t was re-
solved that all persons participating IN Tue
meeting thereby pledge themselves 10 Note
for the nominees Of the Conservative Con-
vcntion.
On motion Of DR.. j. S. Wexford, it was
resolved that the twelve persons receiving
the highest number of votes be the dele-
gates, and the three next highest the alter
mates.
The Chairman appointed as tellers Messrs.
David b. Jones, George Watt, Jr., T. 4.
Brander, and William Lovenstein.
On motion of Mr.. Royal, it was deter
mined that the voters should approach the
crier in single file. ['This part Of the plan
was found to be impracticable, and was not
carried out, probably on account of the
crowded condition of the room and the
eagerness Of many to get their ballots III
and retire.]
A large number of names were placed in
nomination after which voting commenced.
The ballots were handed Mr. William S.
White, who had been appointed crieT, and
after the names Of the voters were cried the
ballots were passed over to the teliers, the two
secretaries meanwhile keeping tally OF the
number Of votes cast.
