pOrtunity to elect a mayor. but they
would throw that opportunity away il
they decided to nominate full list Of
officers. He wanted them to nominate
a mayor only, and then await the action
OF the Democratic and Republican par
ties. This proposition was evidently
dlStaSteful to a large number present,
being received with cries of "Oh! Oh!'
Nonsense" and "St down." But Mr..
Sharp refused to sit down. He pro-
ceeded

TO say there are. a great many when they
come TO vote will ignore the independent
candidates.
Renewed cries were made for Mr..
Sharp to sit down, and gentleman rose
to point of order. Judge Mcmillan
ruled the speaker in order, and Mr.. DOty
took the floor and appealed for fair
hearing for Mr.. Sharp. The gentleman
whatever they might me. Mr.. Sharp
was allowed to proceed without inter
rupti0l, reiterating the folly Of nOm-
mating a full ticket. There might be
men OIL the Republican and Democratic
tickets worthy of Endorsement.
The audience having decided to limit
speakers to five minutes, as long, desul-
tory speeches were undesirable, B. II.
Schneider volunteered his testimony.
He heartily favored the resolutions.
The only way to obtain control of the
governmental of the city was by independ-
ent action. There were many Demo
Gratis opposed to the present municipal
government. He was one of that num-

lie was requested to take the platform,
and, upon doing so, was greeted with
laughter and applause. He understood
the proposition was that they wanted
change. But, In his opinion, the time
for them to act was when the Democrats
and Republicans had nominated their
candidates. If the men were not of the
proper caiber to administer the affairs
OF the municipal government then was
the time to kick and call a halt. Mr..

also a state and national question. He
added:

NJ SchreiOer, with all due respect aud kind
feeling, he came from a protective state
Republican, and he was converted 10 a Dem

he change TO an Independent? was one or

Mr. Butcher resumed his seat mid
uproarious laughter. l.. A. Anderson
followed. He cautioned them TO pro-
ceed slowly. He said:
We are here to defeat Bob Smith. That is
what we want. 1t is next TO impossible to
defeat Democratic ticket IN 81, Paul. The
Republicans cannot do II unless they have
the Endorsement and support Of Bll the iude-

Mr.. Anderson said he had nothing
personally against Mayor Smith, but
opposed him because he would not i'm
pose some Of the best laws on the stat
ute books"
Daniel w. Doty decidedly favored tine
resolutions. There were 70 per cent OF
the people so bitterly partisan that il
their respective parties put up the
devil they would vote for him. He
said:
If the Republican party will only Join this
movement. by the help Of God we Will mop
the Garth with the Democratic government OF
