sided and A. Ramish acted as secretary.
After a few preliminaries, the COM
mittee proceeded to business.
The report of the committee on cre-
dentiais was next read, and as read, was
approved.
In three precincts of the city there
were contests over seats on the commit
tee. These seats were referred back to
the committee on credentials to de-
termine which parties were entitled to
the seats.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported in favor of making H. r.
Wilson permanent secretary. The re-
port of the committee was adopted with
out any protest.
A special committee, which had been
appointed to select headquarters for the
campaign, reported that they had re-
ceived several offers for rooms, but that
none of them were exactly suitable.
The committee recommended the
rooms in the Farmers and Merchants
bank building, adjoining those of the
auxiliary committee. The recommen-
dation was adopted and vote of thanks
rendered to the parties who had kindly
agreed to furnish the rooms free of all
cost.
The question of furnishing the new
headquarters was left to the executive
committee.
The committee on contest reported in
favor of seating Thomas Darmody and
Thomas Keefer. The report was
adopted.
Chairman Last made strong protest
over the manner in which the Republi.
can board of supervisors of this county
had gerrymandered the election dis
tricts, whereby it was rendered difficult
for the full Democratic vote to be put in
the box. His remarks were loudly ap.
plauded.
The chairman selected next the fol.
lowing executive committee, and the
selection was unanimously approved:
