New Canada-No delegation.
From the Sixth ward two delegations as

r. N. Hare, George A. Wells, Baptiste Dufour.
Contrasting Delegates-John Norman, G. b.
Witherill Fl. J. Peters, @. H. Lineau, d. s.
Merritt.
The committee reported in favor of the
first named delegates.
Mr.. c. II. Lienau moved that the delega-
ton from the Sixth ward entitled to seats
was that headed by John Norman. 1t was
regularly elected.
Mr.. Dowlan explained that some difficulty
existed in arranging this contest, but it had
been completed by the committee according
to their judgment from the facts submitted.
G. II. Lienau explained that he was on
both tickets, hence was disinterested. He
stated that he went to the Sixth ward to
vote at the caucus; he got to the usual vot-
ing place at 5:15 o'clock PM, and there found
j. G. Mccarthy and six others. At that time
the certificates of election were made out
and he, Lienau, was requested to sign them,
but declined to do 80 as it was not O'Clock.
j. G. MCCARTHY and his confreres left, and
after this regular primary was held, at
which forty three votes were taken, all Dem
ocrats. This meeting elected the Norman
ticket, was the only one regularly elected
and was entitled to seats, none others we're.
1t might be that the other plan was one for
merly in use in the Sixth ward, but the peo-
pie were tired of it and wouldn't endure it
any longer.
Mr.. Oscar Stephenson arose to refute any
reflections cast upon the committee on ore
dentials. The committee had acted accord
ing to their wisdom on the facts presented.
Two certificates had been presented,
one had no statement that the poll
had been held at the usual place.
However, the matter was just this. At the
former caucus in this ward, motion had
prevailed to have the delegation
then elected to hold over for this
convention. AS to the election, it
was not obligatory to hold the election
throughout the time from 5 to 6 o'clock,
and, as for that, the Mccarthy delegates
were elected after o'clock, and
again the other caucus was organized after
O'Clock. It was as bros' a, it was long.
de, the speaker, didn't see why the last
caucus was necessary at all.
Mr.. j. c. Mccarthy rose to an expiana-
ten. He saw in this movement against
him, a strike at him. BE saw the animus
In it, the gentleman Mr.. Lienau) was pro-
voked with him because he hadn't voted for
him (Lenau) for lieutenant governor in the
State convention. Mr.. MCCARTHY then gave
his statement of the conduct of the ca1cns
of six, which was at variance with the Lien
au statement.
Mr.. Llenau reiterated his account of the
occurrence.
Mr.. Hare in few words oorroborated Mr..
McCarthy's account of the affair.
Mr.. P. b. Kelly suggested that vote be
taken without further discussion on the
Llenau motion to substitute the Norman
delegation for the MCCARTHY delegation.
The vote was taken viv1 uoce, the name of
