honorable, is it just that these two

a blackguard. The speaker said he
had often submitted to Mr.. Paynter,
and cited the Myles Burke fuss.
Mr.. Paynter moved to postpone the
nomination and election of candidate
for one week.
Mr.. McGlinchey--l ask why he wants
this matter postponed.
Mr.. Paynter said he had already an.
swered that question. As tor answering
the Third Ward gentleman's question
he would give that as much answer as
common blackguard. The speaker
said that he had attacked no mans
character. He thought Mr.. McGlinchey
was no Moses. His sarcastic remarks,
the speaker said, would not change his
opinion or his vote. He was going to
vote his sentiments. The speaker con
tended that he had right to vot. for
who he pleased, so he voted for Dem
ocrat.

have attended the caucus.

ter, never was anything else but q
Democrat and fighting one at that.
Mr.. Norton desired to know the reason
that Mr.. Paynter desired a postpone
ment for one week.
Mr.. Paynter--I will answer that
question by putting several to you.-
