The doings of the convention in detail are as follows:
 Charles L. Baldwin was elected chair man, Alderman John w. Lowe, secretary, and F. c. Bushnell, David Steele and H. E. Benton committee on crerentials.
 The nomination of candidates for select men was then declared in order and F. c. Bushnell at once nominated Henry Hill man. Alderman Hitler then placed the name of Joel F. Gilbert before the conven- tion and Alderman Chandler presented as a candidate Major H. H. Strong.

McCar- thy Il and Mr. Bunce 1, the name of the latter having been practically withdrawn before the ballot was taken. The nomina- tion of Mir. Averill was thereupon made unanimous.
 When it came time to nominate candi- dates for members of the board of relief quite spirited contest arose between the various candidates. The convention placed in nomination the names of John F.

These are the same nominees as last year.
 Charles R. Spiegel and Joseph R. War ren were nominated for constables by ac- clamation, ,sbut when the third candidate was proposed no less than five names were proposed.
