Verein hall for the purpose of selecting
forty-seven delegates for the state con-
vention to be held next month. The
interest in the proceedings was unusually
great, for the reason that rumors were
flying around to the effect that there
were two factions that would probably
contest for the supremacy. AS early as
half-past 9 o'clock the major portion of
the delegation from the city was on
hand, and from that time until 10
O'Clock the members from the interior
cities dropped in one by one. Shortly
before 10 O'Clock ]. Marion Brooks asked
all those in favor of the nomination of
E. B. Pond for governor to assemble in
one of the ante-rooms. What trans
pired in the room was not divulged, for
the doors were closed to the general
public. The delegates from the fourth
supervisoral district also held caucus,
and decided to place the name of G. r.
Redick before the convention for tempo
rary chairman. These meetings delayed
the calling of the convention to order
about fifteen minutes, but when order
was finally restored from the confusion
which is always attendant upon the as
sembling of convention, it was OBJ
served that the hall was crowded both
back of the delegation and in
the gallery. Some of the Republican
leaders and wire-pullers were noted
among the crowd, taking deep interest
in the affairs of the convention. Be
sides these there were large number of
representative Democrats.
The convention was called to order by
Eugene Germain, chairman of the
county central committee, who in
structed the secretary of the same com
mittee, w. S. Waters, to read the call
for the convention. After this had been
done the chair announced that nomina-
tiOns for temporary chairman were in
order.

before the convention the name of q

sition with credit to the party and him
