To one who has attended such gatherings
the past few years, the thought naturally oc-
ours. what would a Republican convention
be without its Judge Fish, its Byron Suther-
land its ". II. Grimshaw or its W. h. Eus-
its Upon them devolves the duty-mani-
festly pleasurable duty-of placing candl-
dates names before the conventions for
nomination. It was the loquacious Judge
Fish who took the floor at the convention
Yesterday to name f. H. Moulton as the
choice of the convention for the Office Of city
treasurer. In his nominating speech he
allowed that he had usually been found on
the wrong side; yet he would take the liberty
to place in nomination for city treasurer the
name of f. II. Moulton, whom he chose to
characterize as a man so well known to the
members Of the convention that anything
like a eulogy or a panegyric display would
be supcrfuous. Taking everything into con-
sideration he did not think he was going too
far to move that Mr.. Moulton's nomination
be made unanimous.
1t was at this point that Mr..
Eustis, who had sat impatiently
through the nominating speech, sprang with
alacrity to his feet to say that he took great
pleasure in secondiug the nomination. His
face beamed with JOY, and the effect was
electrical. The shout, 'Noulton,' was
taken up and it run from rostrum to exit
door until the hall echoed. Chairman Sly's
stentOrian voice, however was heard above
the clamor and din. He said that Mr. Moul-
ION had stepped out. He would appoint
committee TO wait upon Mr.. Moulton and
notify him of the action of the body. Every
body was satisfied and order was restored.

It was A. NJ. Reid, who, in gallant spirit,
wished to have q committee appointed to
confer with the ladies upon the matter Of
nominating the member Of the school board.
He urged that they had the rights of the bal
lot box in that respect and should conse-
quently be given a voice in making the
nominations.
Chairman Sly expressed the opinion that
when the Republicans recalled the joint
conference of last spring they would
be inclined to leave the ladies of. Mr.. Cor
ser felt impelled to say that the public school
interest was the nearest and dearest Of ALL
and should not be COMPOUNDED with other
interests but kept separate and apart
''God bless the ladies'" said Byron Suth-
erland ave love them, but in matters Of
politics we find them highly impracticable.
We had . trial last spring.
This declaration brought Mr.. Eustis out
again. He said:
''The ladies have been charged with i'm
practicabilitv. Perhaps it is true, but we
have had to stand it all our lives, and it
don't seem proper that we should grumble
about it either. On the part of the ladies l
say, God bless them
j. \. Woverton, in a loud voice-Is
the speaker a married man!
Mr. Eustis-I shall take advantage of a
common right and refuse to answer any lead
ing questions, or a question which tends
to criminatc me. I acknowledge that owe n
great deal to the ladies, and don't think it
just the correct thing TO ignore them. No,
geI'.lemen, let us bear with them. They
have rights which we are bound to respect
the present age. Let Us meet the ladies and
roufer with them candidly, and if we fai! 20
agree, It will be time enough for US TO make
nominations as We my see fit"

With the single exception of the deadlock
in the Sixth ward aldermanic caucus, the city
convention of the Republicans passed off
with the serene quiet of 4 summer day.
With q crowd that filed Market hall very
i0urumcut to more commOdiOus quarters,
business was transacted neatly and with dis
patch and the main body adjourned entirely
satisfied with itself and its work. It was not
without its funny features, its Sysms and
Eustisisms, but it was without any long
winded speeches. And, what is still more
10 be commended, il WAS entirely without
those double iointed resolutions which either
''poiutcd with pride" or viewed with
alarm. any great good or growing evil, as
the case might have been.

W H. Eustis is nothing If he is not man
of words. In discussing the school board
problem he said: 1T has been moved that
We appoint committee to confer with other
representative bodies and be amended so that
the words representative bodies be omitted
Now as the other representative bodies, |
think the matter is covered in the word
Democratic. I can see no difference be
tween the Prohhtiouists and the Democrats
Whoever is Il Democrat viii represent ST.
John and all his followers. do make n dis
tnction between the Democrats and the
ladies', but none between the Democrats and
the Prohibitionists."
W II. Grimshaw wanted to 60 on record

school board into politics. He mentions the
