ergast, chairman of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club delegation. Mai q. NJ. Ryals
of the South End Club handed up list of
ten delegates and asked that they be ali
mitted to participate in the convention.
The South End Club, be said, was not there
in the interest Of any man. 1t had named
"A candidate for alder an, that was all. II
the convention saw fit to permit the South
End Club to participate his delegation
would remain, if not it would retire.
NJ A. O'Byrne, Esq, said that he had no
objection to the admission Of the delegation,
but under the call he made the point that
no club other than that which had met in the
conference Of Dec could act and his delega-
ton had no authority to act with any other
club than that embraced in tho call.
George W. Owens Esq, did not think
the point of order well taken. Would del
legations from democratic clubs not present
at the first conference be willing to abide
by the decision of the conventional

End Club expects TO be bound as much as
any club, If admitted, but he could not
pledge every individual member OF the

pate in the conference, and the motion was
