Adjourns.

J. 81. Widber for Treasurer.
Charles A. Tilton for Surveyor.
L. j. L. Smiley for Auditor.
w. 5. Barnes for District Attorney.
That much of Martin Kelly's slate was
carried through last night.
Davis W. Louderback, who presides over
keily's meDagerie, had freshly shaved his
upper lip last night before he raped for
order. and his hair was carefully parted.
His black cravat was tied so that the bow
came directly below his left ear.
Near him sat Brant, the political tailor
who is building Martin Kelly's new uni
form, and who is one of the boss chief
henchmen.
Jacob Levy, with his pretty side
whiskers, occupied q frGDt seat and con-
ferred at in tervals with Barney DOugherty,
who III turn made frequent trips to the
small room occupied by Kelly.
General Solomon. Louis Jacobs and D. S.
Dorm were conspicuous figures among the
delegates and occasionally consulted little
slips OF paper on which were printed the
little slate.
The secretary OF an organization of Bar
barry Coast dive-keepers sat in the gallery
and smiled at the gatherings.
These were but few OF the many pro-
grammers who were distributed about the
hall and who knew no duty but kelly's
orders.
Then Walter Blair, from the committee
on permanent organization, reported that it
had been decided to recommend change in
the order Of business. Instead of naming a
candidate for Mayor first it was deemed al
visable to defer that business until after a
Board Of Supervisors had been selected.
Kelly pulled the string and the motion
went through with bang.
kelly's reason as given WAS that the can
didats for Mayor would like to see the rest
Of the ticket before agreeing TO accept.
He forget to explain that the programme
candidate had already been shown the slate
and had pronounced it satisfactory. Mr..
Kelly is truthful, but his memory at times
is defective.
NJ. a. Dorm, whose one burning ambition
is to some day occupy seat in the Senate
OF the United States. moved that the plat
form be adopted, and this was agreed to
also in response to a tip from Kelly.
The vote having been taken the chair
Stroked its whskers, and in a metallic tone
announced that nominations for municipal
nominations were In order.
The chair fegDed great surprise when
A. McBoyle arose in his place on the floor
and placed j. IL. Widber In nomination for
Treasurer.
AS he closed a silence fell upon the body.
and ii. c. Firebaugh moved that the nomi-
nation be made by reclamation.
Mr.. Widber appeared in response to re-
peated calls, and after depositing a smooth
ten-dollar gold piece with the secretary in
dorsed the observation-disclosures that means.
He was nominated without a dissenting
voice.
There was a faint demonstration of ap-
plause as Alexander Campbell Jr. presented
the name of Charles 5. Tilton for Surveyor.
Kelly's string drew taut again and Mr.. Tilton
was declared the nominee for the place.
The name OF w. 5. Barnes, who was
named for District Attorney by L. p. Ashe,
called FOR loud cheers, and when the cam
didate appeared he was given an ovation.
He Endorsed the platform and promised to
do his duty.
When NJ. A. Dorm. in response toll
nudge from Kelly. placed t. j. J.. Smiley in
nomination the latter made an elaborate and
abject apology for having flrted with the
Non. Partisans, and announced that he had
nailed his flag to the mast and was willing
to 90 down with the ship
He was given place on the ticket by &C
clamation.
An adjournment was taken till tonight
