enth ward; A. G. Foster, at large; Walter
Boyd, county.
As it was proposed to make q contest
from the Sixth ward, in the first and
second precincts, motion was made to
bar that ward on the committee. But
Mr.. BOle kicked on that, and so it was
decided to select Il member from the
harmonious precincts. Mr.. Bole was al
lowed to name the man, and he picked
NJ. f. Arbuckle.
The committee on credentials squan-
dered an hour over the cOnteSting dele

IN THE SIXTH WARD,
and then admitted half of each one, re-
porting the list given in the GLOBE
on Sunday, except that p. j. Bigue was
given a seat in the convention. He was
the head of the ticket intended to knock
out Mr.. BOle. Mr.. BOle moved that
Bigue be shut out and that III. Norman,
who was on his ticket, be admitted
Gebhard Willrich wanted the question
tabled, but the chair would not have it
so, and put Bole'S motion, which was
declared carried. Mr.. Lowenstein was in
favor of sitting on the committee on
credentials, and admitting the Bole
ticket. Sam Nicholas made very fierce
speech, in which lie said that J. E.
Burns, who headed the cOntestlng dele
CATION, hoisted the Democratic ticket in
his paper in the late city campaign, and
he wanted no Democrats in the cOnVen-
ton. So he wanted the Bole crowd
seated.
1t was finally decided to let the con-
vention decide the row, and there was a
call for both sides. Mr.. Bigue submitted
a staten ment which the secretary read.

A resolution was passed instructing
the delegates to the state convention to
vote for w. j. Freaney for delegate to
the Chicago convention, and also in
structing them to vote as a unit on all
questions involving his selection to that
position. Another resolution was in
troduced by Maj. John Espy, who apol-
Ogized for doing it by saying he was
simply fulfilling promise made on the
outside. This resolution was a direct
blow at President Cleveland. as it con-
demned the administration and its civil
service policy, and looked with disfavor
on the present spoils system. Then
the convention adjourned.
