doubtful characters crowded Judgs
Burchs court room last nlght. IL WAS
a typical Democratic gatnonag, and
half or those present we're candidates
for any Office they could get. "Iom
Carroll, Ira Z. Hatch, Larry Carroll
Peter Doran, aud large delegation OF
professional workingmen were ther
early working industriously for as many
different candidates.
o'clock, Peter Doran, chairman
of the city committee, called the con-
venuon 10 order. Edwin F. Sweet was
called TO the chair, and W. j. Sproat
was made temporary secretary.
Clarence Crowley, W. T. McGurrin
and James y. DAVIS We're appointed a
committee on credentials.
The temporary ganlzation was made
permanent.
On motion of Frank E. Nixon, of the
Eighth, each ward was authorized 10
select member OF a committee 10 con-
Ter with similar committee from the
Greenback convention.
The chair then appointed as such
comm ttee, upon election by the dele
gates from each ward: Clarence Crow
ley, from the FIRST ward; A. ID. Rath-
bone, Second; Henry +. Frahck, Third; !;
Chas. +. Kusterer, Fourth; John Done
van, fifth; Joseph Mcconnell, Sixth;
Wilbur b. FOlger, Seventh; Frank
Lft.rhfh. 10 rly,.ly n ~
+. Z. Kirk wood, Tenth.
A recess WAS then taken 10 gwen the
committee time IN which 10 report.
During the intermlsSion the smoking
and tobacco chewing. which had been
ceased temporarily, was resumed with
great vigor and ''E. B. D." cigars We're
passed around freely. Delegates took
the opportunity 10 gather IN small
squads and wrdngle as to whether the
Greenbackers should be allowed two
offices or not. The whIte-headed old
wheelhorse, Henry Fralick, was hearu
to say that he didn't think the Green
hackers should have two offices this
year, but the committee should be ap-
pointed as an act of courtesy The
other man replied, "Oh, don't know,
we'd better give 'em to 'em. for there's
quite few of them Greenbackers hv-
ing yet"
Adolph Wurzburg, Of the Eighth
ward, was heard to remark TO Y. A.
Fletcher: 1--WE do not want Dlkeman:
We have all we want of him on the
West Side, and don't you forget it.'
After wrangling for thirty minutes
the committee returned, and by its
chairman, Henry Fralick, announced
that the Greenbackers wanted the Office
OF justice of the peace in addition to
marshal and member of the Board of
Review and Equalization. THIS state
ment fell with a dull thud into the ears
of the anxious listeners, but Dennis
Schram of the Third ward moved to
nominate a straight Democratic ticket.
Geo. II. Davidson, however, remind ed
them that the GreenDackers held the
balance of power, by moving as an
amendment that the committee be in
structed to again retire and inform the
Greenback committee that they would
give them two offices, marshal and
member of the Board of Review and
Equalization. IL is unnecessary to
state tnat the amendment carried, with
Mr.. Schram and one other the only dis
sentlng voices.
The committee again retired. The
two committees IN conference together,
twenty of them, made a small couvrn-
ton by themselves, and their feats of
oratDry must have been great. judging,
from the racket issuing from the sacred
chambers.
The disorderly character Of the
crowd was shown when John J BelknaD
yelled out: Il see X. c. Sessions Is IN
the room; wish be would tell US VINO
the Republicans have nominated for
Mayor"
"Wessehus," answered Mr.. Sessions,
"he was nominated by acclamatiOn."
"WnO is We>selius?' yelled B -lknap,
and toe crowd set up a vulgar ha! ha.
"Sena.or Wesselius, | am proud to

Chairman Frallck now announced,

vcnuOn proceeded TO the nomination
