hall and John R. Everard was called to the
chair. He said he was Jealous man OF his
party who had always voted the straight
Democratic ticket.
Mr.. j. J. McHale was elected secretary.
On motion a committee OF three was
appointed for permanent organization
John McGuirk said there were no delegates,
| here from his ward (the Third ward), as all
| the delegates from his ward were at the
| other convention. He had always been a
Democrat, and if this movement had not
occurred, he would not have voted. Had Dr.
Ames received the nomination, he could not
have got elected even though he would
have the votes OF the thugs
and gamblers. The man whom
this convention would nominate would get
the support of every decent Democrat. The
chair then appointed Messrs. Bowdish,
Donahoe and McElroy as committee on
credentials.
| Col. Glenn was in favor of having Demo
cratic mass convention and having the meet
ing forming itself into committee Of the
whole, with view to determine their future
action.
w. H. Donahoe being called upon made a
stirring speech, and said the question to be
decided now by the Democracy is whether
this city was to be governed by gamblers,
pimps and houses of prostitution. The way
in which things have been carried on during
the campaign by the mayor and his gang
is enough to make the blood boil
in ones veins. He wanted a man
elected who would be credit to the city as
well as to the Democracy, and who would
give an administration satisfactory to the
law abiding citizens, especially those who
had families.
| D. B. johnson was of the opinion that it
would be better and wiser to await future de-
velopments and see what action would be
taken by their uncompromising foes, from
whom they had seeded. If the Democracy
were to fall, they would fall gloriously.
| Mr.. Bowdish was not in favor of proceed
ing hastily in this matter. He knew per-
| fectly well what Ames' adhesents would do
and are capable of doing. Every man who
left the other hall and is here present will do
his duty. The delegates at the
Turner hall convention were by no means
united and this meeting had better wait to
learn the result of their work.
| Mr. Rinehardt moved that committee be
appointed, composed of a delegate at large
and delegate from each precinct to be en-
powered to call mass meeting or another
convention as they may consider the most
| judicious.
Jacob Becker was in favor of making a
nomination right here in the hall. Joseph
More said that Notwithstanding the fact that
| there was no contest in the Second ward
about delegates he has preferred to come here
rather than remain in the other convention
where the delegates did not represent either
the citizens or democracy of the city.
He thought the present was
the proper time for action
and whatever that action be that it be final.
He was in favor of organizing forthwith, and
proceeding to business. Mr.. Rinehardt
pressed his motion but finally withdrew it.
| At this point the news reached the hall
that A. A. Ames was unanimously nominal
| ed at the convention, and Jacob Becker i'm
mediately arose and moved that Geo. A.
Pilsbury be endorsed as the choice of the
convention to clay OUT Ames."
Mr.. Bottineau thought it bad policy to en-
dorse the Republican nominee at this time.
It was better that the Democracy unite and
muster their strength to fight in the coming
| National campaign.
John McGurk opposed the motion. He
saw on the wall the picture of bull stan ding
before the motor and on the figure
|
A. P" which means ''gore the people," If
YOU are going to nominate man in sympa-
thy with the people don't nominate bull
dozer.
B. McElroy said the object of Mr.. Becker
could be attained by the nomination of a
good Democrat Messrs. Ahern and Bow
ditch favored definite action and moved and
seconded that each ward of the city be
! fully represented and that the committee on
| credentials be instructed to fill the vacancies
Carried. Messrs. Bowditch, Donahoe and
McElroy, the committee on credentials, then
| retired to prepare their report and the meet
| ing took short recess.
W. FL. Donahoe, chairman of the committee
submitted the report and declared the follow
| ing as being entitled to seats as delegates:

EIGHTH WARD.
| Charles E. Keith, E. A. Bassett. The report
| wasNunanimously adopted.
| Mr.. McNair moved, and Mr.. Ankeny sec
| onded, that NJ. W. Glenn be nominated for
| mayor by the assembly.
The motion was carried, and Mr.. Glenn
said he was not candidate, never had been,
and would not become one. He only desired
that we have better government than the
present one. He said he had
been misrepresented in having as
pirations for the position since the
attitude he took on memorable occasion
| last fall. ''.'.-'s--
Mr.. Ankeny was in sympathy with this
movement and thought no Democrat could
now be elected. The Democrat party to
which he has always belonged is now led
away by the worst element in the city-men
who have never done anything but
sit round a table and see if
it was ga call or draw"
| They are not the men to lead us to victory,
