The convention ut this point took re-
cess until half-past seven O'Clock, but it
did not reconvene until after eight
o'clock.
Ex-Judge John A. Blair, on the part of
his committee, reported set of resolu-
tions which consisted of abuse for Demo-
Gratis for abOliShing the Jnry Commission,
repeating the personal registry law, the
increased tax rate. and the creation of the
State Tax Commission.
A report from the Committee on Regu-
lations and Laws was next received. 1t
was simply request that the convention
should adjourn until next Wednesday to
give the committee the time required to
do properly the work that had been en-
trusted to it.
THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
Frank 0. Cote thought that before this
gctlon was taken the committee should
be instructed to report in favor of the
elections. The committee felt offended
at Mr.. Coles suggestion. Tney claimed
thot they needed no instructions. Mr..
Cole said he meant no reflection on the
committee. and simply offered the reso-
lution to learn the sense OF the convention.
Delegate Vanderzee said if Mr.. Coles res
olution prevailed there would be no need
OF continuing the committee.
Delegate Reid, of Hoboken, ridiculed
the idea of adopting the Australian sys-
tenn of conducting primaries. He said it
was too complicated. What the Republi-
can party wanted was honestly con-
Quoted primaries, and then the present
system of nominating candidates for Of
flee would be good enough. Almost every
delegate had something to say about how
primaries were conducted under the pres
ent arrangement.
The Committees request for more time
was finally granted, and an adjournment
was taken until Wednesday evening. Oc-

A DONNYBROoK FAIR.
The convention had scarcely been ad-
journed when f. S. Brown, fussy little
delegate, was seen to strike William Q.
Broas, great big delegate. When Broas
round he had been hit, he brought his
right with sledge hammer force on
Browns ear, and the latter would have
been Knocked down but for some
friends catching him. They separated
the two men, Brown crying at the top of
his voice.
DO you know he called me crooked;
me crooked, thing like that to call
good Republican like me crooked"
Broas and his friends left the hall and
soon after Brown followed.
