REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ENDORSED.
| J,,,I- l. e Al
mittee on Order of Business, offered the
| following resolution, which was not incor-
porated into the report. He moved its
adoption as an amendment to the report:
Your Committee on Order of Business submit
| the following resolution, which they recon-
| mend be adopted by this Convention:
WHEREAS, 1t is one of the principles of the
Democratic party that, so far as possible, the
| judiciary should be Kept out of politics; and
whereas, we recognize Hon. W. q. Van Fleet
and Hon. A. P. Catlin as being worthy citizens,
honest and in every respect capable and COM
petent to discharge the responsible duties of
Judges of the Superior Court of this county;
therefore,
ResolUed, That we indorse these two gentle
men for said positions.
A bombshell dropped into the midst of
group of soldiery would have produced no
more excitement or CONSERVATION than did
this resolution.
James Touhey promptly moved to lay it
on the table.
]. NJ. Sullivan said the gentlemen named
would not come before the Convention and
indorse the platform and he couldn't see
| how the Convention could indorse them.
George Nichols and other delegates were
on their feet bowling against the resolu
| ton. They wanted to know whether this
was Democratic or Republican Conven-
| ton.
w urobas ,,,orad as q srhs4;t,+o +J,ot
| the positions of Superior Judges be left
| vacant. He said the Democrats had no
| timber that they were deslrous of placing
| before the Convention Tor these positions.
| The Convention must either indorse the
/ Republican nominees or leave the places
| vacant.
Ed F. Smith thought vote should first
| be taken on the original report, and then
on the resolution.
| Other delegates expressed themselves on
| the subject, some declaring that it was an
! attempted outrage on the name of the De-
| mocTacy.
Add c. Hinkson defended the resolu-
| ton. He said the Democrats had all along
claimed that the judiciary should be kept
! out of politics, and that if the Democrats
| in the Convention were honest in this as
| sertion they now had chance to show it.
| II they wanted to elevate the Democratic
| party and do what was right-if they
! wanted TO make up strong ticket, they
should come up ana indorse these men. He
believed that nearly every member of the
Convention would vote for A. P. Catlin
and w. e. Van Fleet for Superior Judges
| anyhow, and then why not come up like
men and indorse them2
While Mr.. Hinkson was speaking there
were LOUD cries of Question y and Mr..
| fVlr al AZ vOr
don't like to hear me, you can go out of
doors y
The Chair finally said the question be-
fore the Convention involved the report of
the committee, Mr.. Hinkson's amendment
and Mr.. Hughes substitute. The latter
was not in order and the first thing to do
was TO vote on the Hinkson resolution.
The roll was called, Snd the resolution
adopted 10y a vote of gu to GO.
The report was then adopted as whole.
sINEws OF WAR.
Mr.. Cravens then suggested that before
the Convention proceeded further it would
be necessary to raise some money to defray
the expenses incurred 1t was decided to
levy an assessment of 81 on each delegate,
and S. on each candidate.
The roll was called, and some of the del
egates walked up as their names were
called and deposited their dollars, while
others kicked" vigorously and refused to
pay cent. When the name of P. Bran
nigan was called, that gentlemen marched
TO the center OF the ring, and striking a
position, remarked:
Il move that all the men who voted aye
on iudorsing the Republican nominees for
: Judges put up the dollars. | won't put up
; q cent to Republican Convention !"
And Mr.. Brannigan stalked majestically
to the rear of the room.
NOMINATIONS IN ORDER.

adopted, the nominations of Assemblymen
was deferred until the other business of the
, Convention had been disposed of.

enlogistic speech, placed in nomination

(Hinkson) did not want the Convention to
