After short absence the committee re-
ported the following as entitled to seats
in the convention, hardly one-half OF

the reporters left the room, there would
not have been a sufficient number of per-
sons left to have filled the positions of a
base ball club.

CITY TREASURER.
The chair announced that the next
business was the nomination of
a CITY treasurer The announce
ment seemed to strike a chill to
the hearts of all present, and for short
time there was a most painful silence.
Finally W. S. Wilson plucked up the
necessary courage and nominated F. A.
REM, which nomination was seconded.
l.. P. Wright nominated W. r. Mar
shall.
Upon motion an informal ballot was
had upon Wilson and Wright acting as
tellers, resulting, Marshall fifteen, REM
fourteen
Mr.. Ward moved to proceed to an in
formal ballot.
Theodore Sanders here arose and with
drew the name of Mr. REM who he said
was not candidate and would not &C
cept a nomination under any circum-
stances. Mr.. REM had requested him to
withdraw his name should it be presented,
but he had thought 1t wise to
let the informal ballot be
taken before doing so, as an answer to
those who had been circulating lnsinua-
tions derogatory to him. Mr.. REM was
a Republican and would vote for the Re-
publican nominee, but he would not be
the nominee. He closed by moving that
the nomination of Gov. Marshall be
unanimous, which was done.
ALDERMEN AND SCHOOL INSPECTORS.
Mr.. Wilson moved the delegates from
each ward select their candidates for al
dermen and school inspectors, and re-
port the same to the convention. AS
there were no delegates present from the
Fifth ward he moved the convention fill
the vacancy.
The motion was adopted but when 1t
came to look about for Fifth ward rep
resentative no one was found present,
and so the ward remained unrepresented.
The delegates thus reported as fol-
lows:
First Ward-Alderman, Chas. John
son; school inspector, j. H. Murphy.
Second Ward-School inspector, J. G.
Donnelly
Third Ward-Alderman L. Fischer;
school inspector, Julius Zahonyi.
Fourth Ward-First and Fourth pre-
cinct. Alderman, Robert A. Smith;
school inspector, George Benz. Third
precinct, Alderman. Gates A. johnson.
The matter of school inspector was Tele-
gated to the delegates for future consid-
Grafton.
No report being made from the Fifth
ward, Mr.. Gilbert moved that the Demo-
cratic nomination of W. A. Van Slyke
for alderman, and of Geo. A. Hamilton
for school inspector, be endorsed, which
motion prevailed.
The question of school inspector in
the Sixth ward was relegated to the dele
gates upon the motion of DR.. Watson.
Upon the motion of G. T. Ward the
chair appointed the following city COM
mittee:
Third Ward-John Cathcart, chairman.
