Inc reading of these resolutions was
SO pleasing to the convention. especially
that portion that dent tunctd further
management of county affairs bv repub
llcan officials, that it was deemed advis-
able to have the platform adopted By rls-
ing vote, and on motion of Roth the del
egates all promptly responded to this
suggestion.
This composed the preliminary part
OF the proceedings and all that renamed
was to go through with the prearranged
programme OF naming the victims who.
for most part, had been induced to i'm
molate themselves upon the party altar
after earnest solicitation of the chief
fuglemen

The fact that for these positions more
candidates were named than the offices

were seconded and others not, until the
convention had involved itself in par
liamentary snarl, in the midst Of which
an admirer of Paul Mahoney arose and
suggested his availability as IA candidate
for the Legislature. That gentleman ac.
cepted the suggestion with sufficient
gravity to warrant his attention and
promptly declined with thanks Thus
interruption apparently wiped out all
previous motions. when s. L. Marching
ton moved that nominations be closed.
The motion was carried, and the con-
vention, on motion of NJ. Roth, seconded
by George l.. Carey, proceeded to ballot

programme. Roth named, and Peter
