many candidates as there are already
announced to come before the Repub-

At quarter past 10 O'Clock Judge B..
E. Taney, chairman of the City Central
Committee, called the Convention to
order, and in less than five minutes all
confusion had ceased. The Convention,
viewed from the platform, appeared to
be composed of the best element of the
city, and while no one could judge how
the delegates stood on the various ques-
tions and men to be decided upon, it was
the general opinion that the selections
would be of such a character as would be
most likely to command the respect of
the citizens. Judge Taney asked for
nominations for temporary chairman,
and Mr.. T. McCaffrey nominated W. R.
Burke. Mr.. j. Marion Brooks placed
the name of Mr.. T. B.Brown before the

Caffrey and Peterson to escort Mr..
Brown to the chair.

the Convention for the honor bestowed
upon him, said that the Convention was
the most important held in the city. The
new Charter was to 60 into effect, and
the affairs of the city were in transit
ton state. Under the circumstances, he
advised that the policy outlined in the
HERALD, editorially, be carried out.
What was wanted was the selection of
the best men for the offices, and if these
were selected, the ticket put in the field
would win. He desired the delegates to
aid him in despatching business as
quickly as possible, and called for nomi-
nations for Secretary.
