The Democracy Are Absent, Though

ply with equal force to the Democracy OF
this city, in its present perturbed condition.
The situation was briefly, and most thor
oughly, expressed, in a speech by Peter
Flaherty last night, when he said: The
fight originally was between the Big Ten
and Little Six. The latter. victorious, are
now in a family fight, which bids fair TO re-
suit in their utter humiliation.
The Convention, which was called for
the Courthouse at s P. NJ last evening, Tor
the purpose of nominating a candidate Tor
Police Judge, was largely attended. The
whole number of delegates IS ~, ABOUT ~
of whom were present.
At $50 the Chairman, Add. G. Hlnkson,
called the Convention to order. He said
he regretted exceedingly the comeinauon
of circumstance that had caused the reas-
sembling of the Convention, because he, as
Chairman of the Convention that metln
Turner Hall, was responsible in a measure
for it. At that Convention
THERE WERE FoUR SECRETARIES,
Whom it was fair to suppose were honest
in their ~tallies, and Immediately upon he.
finish OF the roll call one Secretary got up
and announced the vote. During the con-
fusion that Immediately ensued Mr.. Wise
| came in and was allowed to vote, and some
irregularity appearing, a demand was made
for a new roll call. A point OF order was
raised that a roll call could not be made
after the vote was announced, n the
Chair sustained the objection, holding that
the point of order was well taken. The
Chairman said: "Now, | am satisfied that
l was in error. The announcement OF the
vote was made by the Secretary and not by
the Chair. l aimed to do what was right,
at the time, but now am positive / was
wrong; am thoroughly satisfied that no
official announcement of the vote was made
by me. If it was to do over again to-day |
would rule entirely different. The Central
Committee unanimously directed me
TO THIS CONVENTION
Tonight for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the Office of Police Judge.
The point has been raised by some that the
Central Committee has no right to call the
Convention toge ther again, since the
Turner Hall Contention adjourned sine
die. In this they are entirely mistaken.
The Turner Hall Convention unanimously
passed a resolution authorizing the Central
Committee to finish the ticket. Under that
resolution they undoubtedly have the
right to convene the Convention if, in their
judgment, such action is in he interest of
the party, and the best mode of performing
the work assigned them by the resolution.
The Legislature, at the ends of sessions, adj
journs sine die, but the Executive has the
power to it at any time when
emergencies arise that necessitate its reas-
sembling. This is an extra session neces-
sary to the h~armonization of the party, to
its success at the polls, and the calling of it
! by the Central Committee is fully author
lied by the resolution referred to-"

The Chairman asked if Mr.. McGinnis,
the Secretary of the Convention, was in the
room. If he was present he made no re-
Spouse, and James G.. Kelly was elected to
act as Secretary temporarily.
The Chairman asked the Secretary to
call the roll to ascertain who were present,
and requested that each delegate as his
name was called rise to his feet and an
swer.
The Secretary commenced calling the
roll, and but one answered in the first
seventeen, although nearly all were pres
ent. This caused a broad smile to cover
| the faces of nearly all present, showing
that q " little Job" had been put up whereby
no quorum could be obtained, thereby pre-
Guiding the possibility of any of the bust
ness for which the Convention had been
assembled being performed. Some of the
delegates, more modest than the rest stepped
INTO the hallway just before their names
were called.
The result of the "roll-call was as follows,
the names being given of those who were
represented by proxy

he did not know how theycould proceed to

VIM. Tormey moved that, inasmuch as

that the Sergeant-at-Arms, Colonel Butcher,
be instructed to bring the absentees before
the bar of the house forthwith. laugh

names, deny the right of the Democracy
assembled of expressing their sentiments
! honestly and squarely upon the question of
who is the best fitted for and should re-
ceive the nomination for Police Judge. He
condemned such action as being undemo-
cratic. ~[Applause.]
Captain Dwyer moved to adjourn.
Peter Flaherty moved TO amend, adjourn
ing to Monday night.
j.. C. Devine said Monday was not a good
night, and suggested that they adjourn to
Saturday night, when he thought all could
be present, and by which time he hoped
the silent tongues would recover their IA
miliar wag, and all would be serene.
Captain Dryers and Mr.. Flaherty's mo-
tons were withdrawn, and the motion TO
adjourn to Saturday night was put and
carried.
