The Democratic city convention was called

ner hall by Hon. c. N. Foote, who read the
call for the convention. On motion of A. "A
Ames, Mr. Foote was made chairman, &C
cepting the honor with few graceful re-
marks. Aid. c. c. Hashow was chosen sec
rotary. On motion of Mr.. Rinehart COM
mittee of nine, one from each ward and one
at large, was appointed on credentials, com
posed of the following: First ward, John
Norton Second, H. P. Herring; Third, Z.
o. Lampe; Fourth, r. H. Shadrick; Fifth,
August Rinehart; Sixth, Matt Walsh; Sew
enth, B. ". Whitney; Eighth, c.

mittees TO accomplish their work, took re-
cess OF twenty minutes.
At the expiration of that time the conven-
ton reassem bled and the committee on ere
dentials submitted the list of delegates en-
titled to seats in the convention.
DR.. Ames, from the committee on perma-
neut organization, reported the committee
unanimously in favor Of retaining the pres
ent organization, which was agreed to.
MAJOR REEVE FOR TREASURER.
no baip
tioDs DR.. Ames moved the nomination of
Mai. Charles Nee. Reeve for the Office of
treasurer. Mr.. Lally wanted to know if he
would accept it, to which DR.. Ames replied
that he would, whereupon the motion to
nominate by sccamation prevailed. Pend
ing its adoption H. F. Heatherington said he
did not consider the nomination a good one,
as ''there were stories he told his men under
him. but this man was evidently alone in
his opinion, and when Isaac McNair said he
would guarantee Mr.. Reeve would accept the
nomination, it was rendered him with una
nimity and with great applause. A motion
TO appoint a committee to wait on him and
bring him here was withdrawn, as Maj.
Reeve is absent from the city.
THE PARK COMMISSION.
The next order being the nomination of
four candidates for park commissioners, DR..
Ames moved the appointment Of a commit
tee Of five to select the names. J. W Law
renee moved to amend BY appointing a COM
nIittce of nine to confer with the Republican
party to make up a non-partisan ticket He
Gwelt at some length on the beauties and
benefits OF bipartisan boards. Mr.. Lally
moved a substitute that each ward dele
CATION appoint its own committeeman. DR..
Ames said he had no objection to this
method, but he knew it was useless, as the
Republicans would secure majority on the
boards as they Away did. If there was one
man to he chosen he must be a Republican,
and if there were four, three must be Repub-
lcans and one questionable Democrat.
On this several further speeches were made,
pro and con, and Mr.. McNair made the point
of order that the question was now only as to
the manner of choosing the committee,
which was Mr.. Lally's substitute. A. H.
ShadTick moved to lay the whole matter on
the table, as 4 test. which was lost by L vote
Of 81 10 SO. vote was then had on the
Amcs amendment, to strike out the propo-
sitOn to confer, which was carried by vote
of - to 81. The original motion was then
adopted, and the convention took q recess to
allow the several delegations to select
their committeeman. In ten minutes the
convention reassembled and the following
committees were announced: First ward,
Matthew Bredimus; Second ward. Baldwin
Brown; Third ward, C: F. Baxter; Fourth
ward, J. W. Lawrence; Fifth ward, r. p.
Huntington Sixth ward, Benjamin Dayen-
port. Seventh ward. H. +. Heatherington: :
Eighth ward, VI. Slater; at large, Matthew
Walsh. The committee was confirmed and
the convention took recess to allow the
committee 10 retire aud select its candidates.
Before the committee was ready the con-
vention reasscm bled and DR.. Anes moved
10 authorize the chair to appoint, at its leisure,
the cty committee. Mr.. Rinehart moved
40 amend 10y having each ward name its
man. A long discussion as to precedence
In each case was had aud finally the amend
meut prevailed by a vote OF 46 to 81.
The committee then reported the following
nominations for park commissioners: F. B.

and +. W. Couroy. Mr.. McFarlane declined
to stand, and the nomination for the place
