postpone.
The chair put the motion to indefinitely
postpone, Notwithstanding Wilson endeav-
ored to withdraw it.
Mr.. Reardon demanded a call of the roll,
and some one at the left of the chairman de-
manded to have the room cleared of all Dut
delegates. This Mr.. Cochran and others
were opposed to; they wanted to have
everything done IN open convention.
The chair ruled the motion out of order
and the roll call having been ordered, it re-
suited in 20 ayes and II NAYS.
A motion was then made to adopt Wilson'S
motion to admit the delegates. and though
there was a good deal of wrangllng on this
point, some declaring that with the amend
ment being laid on the table the whole sub
ject was disposed Of, the chair ruled that the
motion was in order.
On this announcement being made, and
the subject matter of admitting the delegates
being thus squarely before the convention
Mr.. Thimothy Reardon, the well known Re
publican, could no longer keep
his seat. He declared that
a crowd Of low roughs
took possession of the polls at the primary
meeting, and it was plain to be seen that
they had transferred the scene of their bru-
tally from the ward precinct on Wacouta
street to the court house. 1t was evident
the crowd had taken possession Of the con-
venhon, proposed to run it in a mould. He
was sorry to see the chairman Of the conven-
ton was on the same side, and was giving
his aid In favor Of the roughs.

Reardon-I don't know who says that, bat
l tell you am as good a republican as there
is in this convention, and don't come here
to be bulldozed as the voters were at the pri-
maries.
Mr.. Cochran made q strong appeal to the
members of the convention to behave them
selves and act respectfully, and not bring dis
grace on the republican party. He began to
tell the members that what they were doing,
and the manner in which they were doing II
was disgraceful, when the chair called him to
order and informed him that he was not
speaking to the matter before the conveu-
ton, that being Mr.. Wilson'S motion to adj
NIT the delegates from the first precinct OF the
First ward.
Mr.. Cochran acquiesced in the
ruling and said that he would
speak to that then. He objected
to admitting them as he did not know what
the facts Of the case were. He thought there
should be an investigation. It was alleged
that they were selected by buldozing them,
by driving the voters away from tho voting

ought to know it. If this was the means
used by these delegates to get to the convcu-
ton they ought not to be allowed to partici-
pate in the deliberations of the convention.
If this convention, as Mr.. Reardon suggested
is to be run in a mould, for the benefit of q
lot Of roughs it was time for decent men tc
withdraw. He closed with another appeal for
order and d~ecency.
Here followed a good. deal of wranglins
and various attempts of the most preposter
Gus character to introduce motions for delay,
while the call was general for the "ques.
tion.n
The chair stated that the vote would be
taken ON Mr.. Wilson'S motion to admit the
delegation, and in doing so took occasion
to say that he regretted that the chair should
have been attacked as it had been by Mr..
Reardon. He denied that he had been at all
prcjudiced, or that he had favored one side
more than the other in this matter. He had
simply done his duty and would still con-
tinue to do It.
On a vote being taken Mr.. Wilson'S reso-
luton was carried and the delegation from
the First ward was admitted.
THE SECOND CIRCUS.
The first circus was ended by the admis-
sion of the delegates from the first precinct
of the First ward, and the second circus was
commenced by the introduction of the fol-
lowing resolutions by Mr.. Cochran:
MR.. cocmAN's RESOLUTIONS.
We, the Republicans Of st. Paul, in con-
vention assembled, declare:
First.-That we are in favor Of an eco
nomical and energetic administration Of the
affairs of the municipality so that on the one
hand the high financial credit OF the city
shall remain unimpaired; that capital shall
continue to be attracted to investments with
in its borders, while on the other hand ne
cessary public improvements shall be dill
gently prosecuted, and those entrusted with
their execution strictly held to account both
for the promptitude and quality Of their
work.
Second-That It is Of vital moment that
the rate of taxation shall be made and kept
as low as possible, consistent with the
proper conduct of the city affairs and the
completion of the important public improve
ments already in progress. To this end we
emphasize the Importance of the new assess
ment which is about to be made and call
upon our county board, to see that it shall
be thorough, complete and all embracing.
Third-That we acknowledge the right OF
every class of citizens prosecuting q business
recognized by our statutes and ordinances
to the full protection which these laws az
ford. but at the same time we demand that
all citizens, whatever their calling, yield
respect to all such laws, already in force, and
aid in their execution by implicit obedience
to them.
Fourth-That great and unnecessary bur-
dens are laid on the tax payers Of this city
by the careless way in which the liquor trsfic
has been and Is conducted. That as it is right
and just that every business should bear lite
equitable proportion Of our taxes, and also
Of all the additional expense which the nature
Of such business may create.
Fifth-That it is therefore the duty Of the
common council to further regulate this
traffic by e~nacting an ordinance raising the
city license for all dealers In malt or spurious
liquors to an amount not less than $500 per
annum, and that where the license IS revoked
the full amount shall be forfeited to the
city.
Sixth-That we will support no candidate
for aldermanic honors who viii not pledge
himself in favor OF and vote for such license
whenever it shall be voted upon i'll the
council.
HOW THE SOUNDED.
