CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-GeoIge r. Blanch-
ard to-day rendered his resignation as
chairman of the Central Traffic asso-
citation. He announced his decision at a
special meeting, called for that pur-
pose, giving as as his reasons that he
had been unsuccessful in his efforts to
maintain harmony and enforce the rules
owing to the Independent course pur-
sued of late by some of the roads. The
announcement was received with regret
and the managers at once appointed
committee to confer with Mr.. BIanch-
ard and if possible induce him
to change his mind. After
consultation with the committee, Mr..
Blanchard consented to defer final ac-
ton until Jan. on condition that he be
allowed leave of absence from Oct
until such time as he will be able to
complete engagements he had made in
anticipation of withdrawal from the
craftsmanship. A committee of eight
has been appointed to revise the Organi-
cation of the Central Traffic association,
with view to reducing the office eX-
penses and bring outside lines into the
organization.

Judicial Ability Lacking in the Ranks
of Cold Water Adv8-
Gates.

The Ramsey county Prohibition con-
ventiOn was called to order in Relief So
ciety hall at 1880 O'Clock Yesterday
morning, and permanent organization
was effected, with J. E. Lackey presi-
dent, G. n. Woodward secretary and
John BetZ assistant secretary.
Every ward and township of the
county except White Bear was repre-
scented by one or more delegates, the
total attendance being something less
than 100 persons, several Of whom were
ladies. A committee on nominations
was appointed, and after sOmedelibera-
ton the following ticket was reported
by them: Auditor, j. e. Lackey;
sheriff. Herman Anken; treasurer, I.
w. Wallace; county attorney, G.. NJ.
Akers; coroner, Dr.. Francis Mcclure;
superintendent of schools, Amos Rosen-
burger: register of deeds, f. r, Nc
Manigal: probate Judge, G. w. Doty;
surveyor, j. ii. Fifty. Without making
further nominations the different can
didateS were taken up in the order
named and unanimously nominated.
The monotony of the convention was
relieved when the nominations for the
district judgeShips were taken up, and
for a few moments prospects were
bright for
A LIVELY CONVENTION ROW.
The committee on nominations reported
their inability to name any active third
party ProhibitioniSts competent to fill
the positions, and suggested that NOM
nations be made. About one-half of
the delegates favored the course recon-
mended by the committee, while the re-
mainder proposed delegating the county
committee to select for Endorsement the
most acceptable candidates that might
be nominated by the Democrats and Re-
publieans. DR.. f. Mcclure made an ell
Oquent plea to the convention to stick to
straight third-party lines. and closed by
saying: 1--WE might as well indorse the
nominations and platform of the Repub
lican state convention, which is to-day
in this city fighting over barrel of
whisky and barrel of money" The
recommendation of the committee
finally prevailed, and no nomination
was made. Nominations for the seven
members of the house of representa-
tiveS and six county commissioners were
referred to the county central commit
tee with power to act. After appointing
