Citizen Helm (populist) now declared
that nominations for justices were in
order.
Citizen /. P. Campbell (popuiist) nom-
mated John H Ash (populist) and Amidon
OemocraD put Judge McCanless Demo
crat) in nomination. E. w. Moore Demo
craft seconded nomination of McCandless
and Haymaker (Democrat) seconded the
nomination of Ash and McCandles, both
and nominated Redfield (the man who got
beat in the Republican convention) which
he Landed highly as man who WAS Re-
publican.
Blake (DemocraD nominated Milton
don't know what he isl.
Healy (populist) seconded nomination of
Redfeld and Stratton (populist) seconded
the nomination of 4 III in which he
took occasion to slap the G. A. r. men in
the face without apparent cause. Wilson
(Democrat) nominated Caldwell (populist)
and Haymaker Democrat) moved that
nominations close.
The following were then elected chair.
men of their respective delegations to cast
the vote:
First ward-Healy, Populist.
Second ward-Bean, Democrat.
Third ward-I p. Campbell, Populist.
Fourth ward-E W. Moore. Democrat
Fifth ward-F K. Blake. Democrat.
Sixth ward-J ohuson. Democrat.
The above list is not very important,
only that it serves to show the non. parti-
san spirit that prevailed in the conven-
ton.
The first ballot resulted in the nomina-
ton of Judge McCandless (Democrat); the
second in the nomination of Ash (POpu
list and the third ballot in favor of Red
field Republican bolter). Poor Milton Of
the West Side only got ten votes
5n the first ballot. five on the
second and seven on the third. Charlie
Caldwell (Pooulist), would have been
nomited on the third ballot, but the fxers
went for Redfeld so as to deceive the Re-
publicans and to satisfy Hank Heiserman.
When nominations were declared in
order for constables. Will Ayres (Populist)
in Pereclesian society style, made his
maiden speech in favor Of John Ratlif
Democrat), Amidon (Democrat) and Os-
born (DemocraD seconded it. johnson
Democrat) nominated O'Harrah (Repub-
lcan bolter) Pat Healy Populist) second
ed the nomination, but when he was in
formed that Harrah had no O. to his name
be sat down and looked at the
ceiling. f. W. Moore Democrat)
nominated Charlie Myers Democrat)
Harry Stewart DemocraD nominated
Badger Demo-Pop) and in that usual
eloquent style of bis pledged his word
that he would wipe the earth with the
| COON" Anderson (DemocraU nominated
J. L. Severance.
On the first ballot Ratliff was nomi
mated. When the vote was announced
Severance didn't get a vote, and Anderson,
the man who nominated him, looked like
he could crawl through key hole. He
didn't vote for him himself as a matter of
course thinking that somebody else would
and thereby got himself into an en-
barrassing corner.
On the second ballot Charlie Myers was
nominated, and on the third bal
lot Harrah was nominated by a combi-
nation with the Fifth ward. Poor
Badge was defeated and will not wipe up
the earth with the coon according tic
Stewards prophecy. Badger was called on
to make a speech after being crucified and
he politely declined. whereupon 100
whispers could be hear through the hall.
Badger is hot" Campbell (Populist)
then asked for an Endorsement of the ward
nominations. Five of the nominees had
already Withdrawn their names and the
| balance were Endorsed.
MAJORS NoMINATION.
The nomination for mayor was now in
order but self constituted committee on
''mayorality selection were still out and
the predictions were made that
Capt. Carey would be the man. Shortly
however. the committee filed in headed by
w. l. Osborne who shook his head at the
chairman and the chairman Immediately
called for the nomination Of candidates
for mayor Osborne (Democrat). said he
had resolution he desired to offer and
permission was given him. He then read
the following:

! in convention assembled to place in nomi-
| nation representative men to I'LL the mu-
| nlcipai Offices of our city, are not uumind-
| fui of the unestimable services of one who
| has not only made liberal contributions of
! time and means to the public service, but
whose energy has been spent and even
health impaired by bis exertion in the in
terests of those he served,
! That the gratitude of the people of our
! city to the present mayor the Hon. j. b.
| Carey eau be expressed IN no better way
than by assuring him thatswe appreciate
and honor him for the zeal and determine
! ton with which he has pursued the per-
| petrators OF the jssperite pavement steal
| until he has forced them beyond the bor-
| der of the state. and inspired within them
| a fear to return,
| That we congratulate the mayor upon
/ now being able to see his untlriug la ors
crowned with success. And cur congratu-
| lations are also extended to the people OF
our city as we see in the near future blot
wiped from page of our history.
Osborne Democrat) moved its adoption
and Haymaker Democrat) seconded the
motion. One man who still hsrbored the
pent up eumity Of two years was about to
spring to his feet in opposition to the reso-
luton, but another shrewd mau noticing
him made for him hurriedly
and said For Gods sake
don't oppose the resolution. II you do
you will make the old man hot, and there
are forty Niger votes in his hotel that
we will lose"

and the resolutions were passed unani
mously.

tiou by Captain Osborne, and upon motion
the nomination WAS made by scciam alton.
Allen was sent for aud when he appeared
