yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock, in th

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The appointed time arrived for the recon.
vening of the convention, but no chairman
was present. The hall presented lively
scene. Bosses, sub-bosses and all degrees OF
bosses We're getting in their elbow arl but
tOn-hole work in every corner or available
spot This was by no means all Of it. The
anti-bosses, anti-sub-boSses and the ring and
slate s,lashers were buZzing around in space
and getting their forces in battle array. For
one minute a delegate would be receiving
positive orders from self-appointed officers,
and next would find his other ear being
pumped full of something of an opposite
character. A whole hour was spent in Civ
ing orders and engaging in sham battles be-
fore the call for order was given by the
chairman.
The work of hearing the reports of the
various committees was decided to be the
first thing in order. Before this was COM
menced the chair was volunteered instruc-
tions for getting the delegations of different
townships and wards to get together with
the hope to hasten the transaction of bust
ness. After some time had been spent in q
fruitless effort, the chair was allowed to pro-
ceed with his programme, and the committee
