That's right" cried George r. Whit
CONT, of st. Anthony Park. 1t is ju
as good as our platform OF two years
ago"
why, it is the same PLATFORM" re-
marked c. \. Woodward, land good
enough for any Prohibitionist."
This was amended by Rev. George f.
Wells TO call the attention Of the people
to the prominent part the Prohibition
party had in inducing the Republicans
10 adopt such a platform.
''lf this is intended to help the Re-
i publican party doubt the wisdom OF
|Idging this" said Rev. }. b. Freeman.
II III il goes out that we. convention of
eraAks. have Endorsed the Republicans,
il may hurt them with some people"
Not Very Ringing.
This was tie overwhelming sense of
the meeting, but a committee OF three
on resolutions was named 10 whom 1t
was referred. The committee was
named by the chair, and Messrs. q. ;.
lnniS, q. i. Frees and A. L. Lackey
are the men. The report OF this com
mlttee follows:
Resolved. That we the Prohibitonists Of

The committee did not think il best
10 insert any Endorsement Of the Repub-
LEANS" said Chairman lnnls, but we
think they ought 10 be complimented
ANYHOW"
Tile nominations committee came in
and the report was read by Dan W.
Doty. This report was signed by eight
OF the eleven members. Messrs. Nolf,
Dahlby and Jockey refusing TO slgn.
The report, carefully fixed by Col.
Wrights friends, follows:
Whereas, We approve Of the action Of the
| citizens committee in their efforts 10 sepa-
| rate municipal affairs from party politics,
and that committee nave made and Will Tile
| certificates Of nominations for mayor and
| comptroller and nine members OF the as
| semblV;
Resolved. Tina, we m axe no further nom
nations for said Offices.
This report presented the nams OF
". ". Nicholas for city treasurer and
}. A. Freeca }. w. D0ty and +. French
for city justices for east and west or
Wabasha and the Sixth ward respec-
/ lively.
Il refused to sign that report, said
]. Il. Lackey, ''fOr the reason that
| gave before. | am opposed to 1t on
| principle"
George f. Wells moved to amend and
| indorse the candidates for mayor and
comptroller of the Citizens Republican
! ticket. but this was pointed out as un-
necessary by several of the members on
the ground that it had been done Mon
DAY evening.
! AZ did not sign that report" said j..
! NJ. Dahiby, for the reason that the citi-
zens' convention did not indorse the
| candidate for comptroller who Is now a
/ candidate shall move later to homi-
nate a candidate for comptroller. The
man now on that ticket was named by "a
convention held to-day
~ favor that amendment" said Oscar
| Wolf ION last Monday night we IN
dorsed the Citizens ticket, and there is
! no reason why we should not place them
on our ticket"
What is the use OF repeating our
! selyes?' said Rev. ID. Morgan. I'VE in
| dorsed that ticket Monday evening, and
! there is no sense in wasting that much
money. If we 90 through this form we
Will have to pay 50 to get each one on
ticket where he will be without our
doing that. Let us be sensible"
T. Rev. j. 3. Freeman advocated the
/ adoption OF the report OF the committee
on the ground that the committee, or
eight Of the eleven members or II. had
agreed on it. The amendment was de-
feated by vote OF IS to 20, aud the
report was adopted. The nominations
Of W. W. Nicholas, for treasurer; j. n.
Freeze, ID. ". Doty and L. NJ. French,
Tor Justices, and Oscar Wolf for the
assembly, were Endorsed or ratified by
| the convention. and then the ward al
dermen were taken up and the Repnb
lcanS Endorsed in nearly every case, as
follows:
First Ward-John Copeland.
Second-E. o. Zimmerman.
Thlrd-.John huak.
Fourth-No nomination.
Fifth-No nomination.
SIXTH. W Mctiose
. SEVENTH. g. lngersoll.
Eighth-C. II. Meby.
Ninth-f1ans r. Jensen.
Tenth-Thomas Montgomery.
EleYenth-A G. Hickman.
But there was trouble over this mat
ter Hardly any OF the nominations
were made without opposition aud hints
of trade. The Ninth ward was passed
first, but later the chairman said:
'lf not too late we wish to present
the name Of Hans p. Jensen for alder
man in the Ninth ward"
Now believe. said Oscar Wolf,
shat we have nominated humber or
| the men nominated by the Republicans
today. Now move that we reconsider
the vote in that report. The other
evening we overwhelmingly Endorsed
that ticket. and want to have some ex-
preston on it tonight"
| But Mr.. Wolf had voted OH the wrong
| side OF the question originally and he
was ruled out of order. When. how
| ever, the Ninth ward man pressed the
/ Jensen matter there was soiue kicking.
I Another Republican," said Osca
| Wolf.
another Republican" remarked j.
| E. Lackey.
I Now gentle seu," said C. y. Wood
ward, Il was atfthe Republican con-
vention today. and heard great
many criticisms of Mr.. Jensen and l
am satisiiede3se is not the kind of a man
we want to. ssd0rse-"
II know Mr. Jensen" said }. NJ
] Dahlby, .'and he Is just as good as any
| other Repltblfean we have endorsed.
1 Now that seA are on the right track and

| Prohibition is stand sOlidly for the
| ticket We have got for once man
| pledged to do something for Prohlbl-
] ton and let us go out from here and let
no stone unturned TO elect him. Let
Us endorse Jensen and all the Others"
Mr.. Jensen was Endorsed without OPP
position after the speech. Rev. ID.
Morgan was called upon to take up a
subscription to meet expenses, and IN
a few minutes raised S45.
II rise to a question of privilege, 'sald
delegate. rs this money to 90 to the
Republican campaign fund.-"
