did he want to give any paper opposed
to the Peoples party q chance to make
the statement that the proposed action
hal not been taken with the consent
and approval of the voters. The mat
ter involves no delay. The gentlemen
say we have right to take this action
without consulting our constituents.
WE HAVE NO RIGHT
to do so. even though we may have the
power. Congress has the power to pro-
CLAIM Grover Cleveland king of the
United States, but it has no right to do
so.
Mr.. RICHARDS thought Paul's smend.
msnt was matter that should come up
at the adjourned meeting.
Mr.. SPENCER said the discussion he
had desired had been brought about.
He did not think it was right to adopt
such resolution without the consent
OF the voters. He was heartily in favor
OF local representation, but was in favor
OF the action OF the convention being
submitted to the people, ratify or not
as they chose.
Mr.. r. r. IRVINE was also of the
opinion that it was a duty he owed to
change to them. He had been sent here
as delegate by the people to form a
ticket for them, and when such O radi-
cal change had been made, he thought
the matter ought TO be submitted to
them.
Mr.. HoDesoN did not elieve he had
any right to
CHANGE HIS CoLoRs
without the consent of his constituents.
He could not conseientiously vote for
the resolution without the amendment
offered by Mr.. Paul.
Mr.. Wilcox also thought the voters
should have chance to ratify the pro
posed resolution.
Mr.. MAXWELL thought the mass
meetings should be held in the several
municipal wards. It would be more
convenient for great many, especially
those who were little aged.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Paul
was adopted with but few dissenting
votes, and the original resolution as
amended, went through with cyclone
of ayes.
A discussion then followed as to the
best place in which to hold the mass
meetings. Mr.. Irvine thought the Tab
ernacle would be good place. He
wanted something big. r.tt.
Mr.. WELLS thought the Eighteenth
Ward Schoolhouse could be obtained
and that it would hold all that would
come out.
Mr.. SPENCER suggested that such
might be the case in the Eighteenth
Ward, but those of his ward were a
little more patriotic.
Mr.. MIDGLEY was in favor of holding
a mass meeting in each bishops Ward.
A delegate had said he
WANTED SOMETHING, BIG.
The speaker did not. He did no.
care to go and hear one or two men
spout all the time-he might want to
say few words himself, and did not
care to be oyershadowed in a big place.
Mr.. BYwATER was in favor of
holding the mass meeting in the
various municipal wards. and Mr.. Wal
lace was also of the same opinion. He
moved that the resolution be amended
so as to provide that the meetings be
held at the places usually used on cleo
ton days.
On motion, the matter went over to
be discussed Monday evening.
THE NOMINATIONS REACHED.
It was resolved that each ward make
it's own nominations, and Mr.. Woolley
opened fire by placing in nomination

All was smooth sailing mp to this |
point, but when Mr.. Nebaker placed in |
nomination the name of Alfred Solo !
non for Marshal, there were signs OF |
opposition which, in few seconds, as
,umed formidable proportions.
Mr.. SIDDoWAY presented the name of |
George NJ. Ottinger.
Mr.. NEBEKER stated that Mr.. Ottin-
ger had refused to run, and he believed /
Mr.. Solomon should be.plaeed in nonsi- |
nation and accepted.
Mr.. SPENCER spoke N favor OF Mr. |
1ttinger. He had the very best of as I
he said, tina: were he noEai- |
mated he would stanE Mr.. Otrnaer |
vas a man of public note, and had |
made success of verything he had |
and had . good record.
Mr.. LOUIS Hook YVES also In favoV of |
Mr.. Ottinger's nomination. He thought
le was the right man for the Office. and |
would fill it to the credit of the city.
Mr.. PAUL thought Mr.. Ottinger
Ihoufd receive the He was
