their proceedings as given below, in the name
of the people. Before they got together
however, there was no inconsiderable con-
fdential confab. They had passed the time
since the adjournment on Tuesday in trying (
to get somebody to stick if his name were !
stuck up on the ticket. These confidential |
confabs were then to learn if "he'' would stick, |
and when told he wonld, there were many |
disclaimers. In this condition of mind and |
uncertain state, Messrs. 81. A. Castle and 81. |
NJ. Smyth buzzed themselves into visiting |
committee to await on the necessary number ]
of 'shims'' to stick, and locking arms went off. |
Returning shortly, the Tooley street affair !
went up stairs, foand the court room locked, !
sent out for key, got it, got the door open
and got to business.
GETTING TO WORK.
The convention was called to order by the
chairman. Capt. Russell Blakeley, who stated
that the work of the convention had to be
done, and he advised progress.
Mr.. Castle moved that the chair appoint q
committee of one from each ward to constl-
tute the central city committee. He e1-
planned that he made the motion thus early
so that the president could select and an
nounce the committee before the adjourn
ment of the convention.
The motion was put and carried.
LET YOUR LIGHT so SHINE, ETC.
A long pause followed, which was broken
by the President asking:
"Gentlemen, what Is your next pleasure?"
There didn't seem to be any pleasure about
the affair, but ex-Ald. II. M. Smythe got up,
and remarked that he considered it advisable
to 60 into secret session, or caucus, as he
termed it. Then, after another pause, dur
ing which the gentleman stood in an unde-
cided kind of a way, he muttered:
II move that this convention do now go
into secret caucus"
Mr.. Castle, with great promptness, ejacu-
lated, as if he were afraid somebody would
cheat him out of the honor of abetting this
underhand business, II second the motion"
The motion was put and carried, the con-
vention voting "aye' in subdued tone Of
voice, as if they we're desirous even of hid
ing this from the people.
DICK DEsPoNDENT.
| The president, Capt. Blakely, then re-
| quested all who were not members
of the convention to retire. About six
! complied with the request, among whom
were the GLOBE and V0lkszeitung represen-
| tatives, while the old debauchee attached to
Bill Kings paper fingered along, until it was
| intimated that the convention could not be
sold out for $500 by him, and there was no
use of his waiting. The lean pantaloon then
battered out into the lobby, looking much
chagrined at the loss of his customary little
job.
Mr.. Castle proposed in soto poce to let
Dirty Work Dick remain as delegate. Was
there the understanding of divvy2 But
others opposed it, and Dick got bounced as
stated.
| AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE.
The convention vent into secret-ugly
word-session at 1890 CLOCK A. NJ, and got
out of their hiding at las o'clock P. n.

doors barred against the people whose suf-
frage they ask?

objections to Murray because he was such 8
thorough partisan.

Gratis, anyhow, and he didn't want any O
