In the discussion which took place, and
which was OF very earnest character.
some took the stand that il would be mad
visabe to limit the municipal nominations
to the parties. though II would be proper 10
| make that division equal as regards the
legislative candidates. To follow the re-
| port biindy would result 10 making the
| convention partisan rather than non -parti-
san. which Is its proposed character.
a special point was made on the mayor
| ality, which the report gave to the Republ-
cans. thereby shutting out the Democratic
| party altogether. 1t was urged as unfair
| TO adopt such 'castiron rule" as Messrs.
j. g. Easuand and Magee termed it, Mr..
| c. j. Swift believed also that such a
course would be like adopting a pro-
| gTamme." He desired 10 leave the matter
to the good, sense Of the members Of the
convention"

| port was laid on the table with the exeep-
! tion of the portions relating 10 the Iegisla-
| tive nominations. An amendment made at
time OF the discussion, that no party con-
| dltlon be eXacted OF the judicial nominees,
