agreement had been reached.
Mr.. David Israel moved that the chair
appoint committee of eight on nomi-
nations and resolutions. DR.. McGalliard
favored completion Of the ticket begun
at the previous meeting. Judge Maher
made the point of order that this was
new meeting and had nothing to do
with the former gathering. Mr.. G. A.
Gondran stated that Mr.. Fred. Duffel had
! Withdrawn as candidate for Mayor and
hence the partial ticket had fallen to
pieces. He therefore seconded the motion
of Mr. Israel, which was put to the meeting
! and adopted, the chair deciding that it was
| unnecessary to pass upon the point of
order raised.

Messrs. Israel, Sullivan and g. A. Con
dram named as the committee on notifca-

| A motion was made to adjourn until
Tuesday evening and another to adjourn
subject to call. According to parliament
tary law the motion proposing fixed time
should have had preference, but the chair
man was either unfamiliar with that par
tcular kind of law or didn't care to OBJ
serve it, for he put the second proposition
and declared it adopted without going
through the formality of calling for the
