1t was nearly O'CLOCK When CHAIRMAN
Pond put In an appearance at the Democratic
municipal convention ana called the gath
ering 10 order. As usual the galleries we're
packed to suffocati0n with bowling, boot
ing. hand-clapping. perspiring 1ostling,
elbowing crowd of anxious patriots, who
whooped 1t up in grand style and shouted
from time to time to the bosses to hurry up
and break the slate.
Long John Wilkins. 'Blinkei" Murphy,
"Splitlip" Collins, Jim Neale, "Slob"
Brown and other eminent and patriotic
statesmen sat in the front row upstairs and
frowned grimIy in the direction of Dwyer
and Sullivan. who occupied adjacent seats
in the middle of the auditorium. The new
bosses were apparently in the best of spirits
and looked fondly at each other.
The Chicago convention was a quiet or
derly gathering in comparison, and it was a
sixty to one shot that there was not man
in the house, barring the press representa-
tives, who was not an aspirant for public
place.
As the minutes wore away after o'clock
and Mr.. Pond failed TO show up. the crowd
became uncomfortable. They became i'm
bued with the idea that something was
wrong and they were not slow in giving
vent to their feelings. They even went so
far as 10 hiss Chairman Watkins of the
executive cOmt0lltee ana >. III. OaulelS, Tie
secretary of the convention.
CHAIRMAN POND KISSED.
When Pond came in there were more
Kisses and the suave chairman looked DIS
pleased. He looked glum as he adjusted
his steel-rlmmed spectacles and drew a
typewriter document from an inner pocket
of his gray cutaway coat.
There comes the slate" shouted a voice
from the gallery, and prolonged howl
went up.
When order was secured a delegate in the
rear asked to introduce a resolution which
read as follows and was referred to the
committee on platform without debate:
RssOlred, That 1t Is the sense OF this cOnven-
ton that no person shall be eligible as nomi-
nee thereof who has previously been nominated
by any other convention; and further
Resoired, That this exception shall not apply
TO candidates for the Judiciary
A. {. Paulsel from the committee on
Supervisors read the report in which it was
recommended that the following gentlemen
be nominated for Supervisors First Ward,
NJ. Goodwin; Second Ward, James McDcn-
ald Third Ward, William Montgomery;
Fourth Ward, 2. j. Kennedy; Fifth Ward,
George McGllinray; Sixth Ward, Christian
Refs; Seventh Ward, James Ryan; Eighth
Ward Robert Day; Ninth Ward, p. f.
DundOn; Tenth Ward. William Hinton
Eleventh Ward, jefferson G. James
Twelfth Ward, James Denman.
Mr.. Psulsell moved the adoption of the
report.
Then broke the storm which had been
brewing from the time the doors opened.
ID. j. Murray of the Thirty-frst District
was on his feet in moment and howled for
recognition. The galleries cheered him, and
number of the delegates Kissed.
Il do not feel that | should be doing my
duty" he shouted. IF | were to sit here
and see this slate go through. When see
the chairman of this convention came into
this gathering and draw from his pock-
et@'
Good boy. Murray" yelled man in the
gallery, and in a moment 1000 excited voters
were on their feet, bowling like madmen.
In the midst OF the fearful din Colonel
Thomas Francis Barry struggled out OF his
seat with a scOwl and red boutonniere TO
make point of order.
His voice was promptly drowned out by a
chorus Of Kisses and catcalls. The colonel
unabashed yelled tor silence.
As the kissing increased Alex VOgelsang,
who sat in the front seat, winked knowingly
at their chairman, who asked him to move
an adjournment.
This he did and during a nomentary lull
in The boots IL was carried.
The convention stands adjourned till the
galleries can be cleared" announced the
chair, but the galleries merely howled the
louder and declined to bulge
Then =. +. Dunno. followed closely by
when he raised his hand the galleries were
still in a moment, and Dunno said, with an
evident tone o. anger in his voice: Il would
like to know what right this convention or
the chairman of this convention has to
drive the Democratic party from the gal
leriesY
The yells which followed showed the
temper of the crowd
Joe Dwyer followed by saying that he
was opposed to the motion to adjourn.
Il want TO say TO the galleries" ne con-
tinued, that they cannot throttle the DEM
Ocratic party of this city by their howl
The same influences which sent you here TO
disturb our deliberations have fought US
from the time We started in reorganiZing
the party, and, in spite of it, we propose to
go ahead, and by the glory OF God nomi-
nate the best ticket that ever was presented
to the people OF san Francisco"
Kisses greeted this effort of Mr.. DIVER.
and then Alexander Voeelsang informed
the convention that he would withdraw his
motion.
The noise and confusion subsidized some
what and the twelve gentlemen recon-
mended by the COMMITTEES were declared TO
be the nominees of the convention.
When this had been done nominations for
