Republican City Convention.
A damned Audience at Turner Hall

A Jammed Audience at Turner Hall.
By 10 o'clock this. morning large
concourse of the Republican political
element was assembled in Turner Hall,
there to witness who were to be the
lucky members nominated for the differ
ent city Offices.
The crowd was composed in great part
of the better class Of citizens. A fact
which was frequently made the subject
OF remark by the unprejudiced.
Such was the noise and confusion,
however, incident to the seating of DEL
egates, on account of the bad arrange
ments effected by the committee who
were appointed to attend to this matter,
that it was fully twenty minutes before
sufficient order was restored to go on
with business, after MIR. Al. korte
called the meeting to order.
The main body of the hall and the gal
leries were filled with an eager and eX-
cited mass OF talking and noisy friends
of the different candidates. The Ser
geants-at-Arms, Messrs.J j. q. Jacoby, NJ.
Kennedy, NJ. j. Patton and Victor Burn
ham labored like Trojans 10 clear the
aisles and seat the delegates, and were
after awhile quite successful.
When the noise had in measure SUBJ
sided, Hon. I'D. Lincoln and Gen. Andy
Hickenlooper were nominated rs tempo
rary Chairmen.
BY an almost unanimous vote Hon. I.
u. Lincoln was elected, and took his
seat as Temporary Chairman, when he
spoke as follows:
LINcoLN's SPEECH.
"Gentlemen of the Conyention-We
are about to enter upon somewhat of
an experiment. We are about to
put in nomination men,, who,
If elected, will have the control of mill
iops OF the clty's money, and if we NOM
mate good, honest, practical and patri-
la good chance of election.
Hoping this election will be character
lied by prudence and patriotism, will
close my remarks"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lincoln's
short and pithy speech, which was
heartily applauded, the election Of Teri-
porary Secretaries was entered into and
resulted in the election Of Mr.. Adam b.
Wilson and Mr.. Chas. f. Anderson.
Next in order was the Committees OH
