st this juneture Clark Davis protested
against such personal insinuations. and
the chair reminded the speaker tina, he Was
oat Of order. The adherents OF both fac
tons eheered their representatives.
Col J. u. Mcintyre mad favored the Citi-
zens' movement from the beginning. All
over the country psrtisanship had gone
mad. Bat ne confessed that ne was IN =
qnandary and did not know exactly what
10 do He vas disappointed in the no mi
nations tie Seven Wise Men had made.
He was particularly disappointed at the
nomination Of Herman Chaplin and, more
50 Nhen Paddy P.dden and Terence
O'Brien. ais companion, had been nomi-
mated. He thought the only way 10 get
around the question was 10 indorse those
of the Citizens tickle. who were satisfac-
tory.
T. d. Davis favored q separate ticket.
Rev. Mr. Norton said that the Citizens
League had Haunted an Insult in the face
Of the Prohibitionists and that the princi-
pies OF the party could not be sacrificed.
Before putting tho question Mr.. Dunlap
INTERCEPTED . new question. He wanted TO
know whether those participating in the
convention would abide by the decision Of
the question on putting ticket IN the
held. IL they would not they should not
lie allowed to vote.
Mr. sutton said that IL he we're defeated
he would at once start to work TO get up
another convention. Clark Davis said he
wonid abide by the result as also did Mr.
Mcintyre. Mr.. Dudley said he proposed
to vote the Citizens ticket, bat he consid-
cred that he had a right to voice in she
deliberations Of the Prohibition party.
Mr.. Dunlap disagreed with him and said
that no man should vote who would not
pledge himself to abide by the action
taken.
On being put to q vote the motion was
lost by large majority. Sutton's resolu-
ton to adjourn until p. m. was then
carried
J. d. Mcintyre, ]. w. Range and f. B.
Sutton were then appointed as commit
tee on resolutions and platform.
Nominations being declared In order
Mcintyre. in a long and extravagantly
fiattering speech, named Rev. K. 4. Dun
lap for mayor. who was chos sen by ac-
clamation,
In accepting the nomination Mr. Dun
lap said that he was not an aspirant tor
the offics. lie considered that man was
needed for the position who had expert
ence aud knowledge of municinal affairs,
strong man, man with backbone and
brains AZ the end of Ii. There was a great
need for reform at the present time He
believed that Mr.. Ronald had been a good
mayor aud had made an honest effort,
but he had been powerless and he was
thwarted in his purposes of reform. The
city government should be run for one
half the present expenss. Saloons should
be placed In district by themselves and
the police force cut down one-half, and
their salaries also reduced. There were
also too many municipal courts. He
pledged his best efforts. if elected. and his
loyalty TO American institutions.

acelamation, as follows: City clerk, II.
Willis Carr; corporation counsel Col. L.
c. Ellsworth: treasurer. J. ". Range;

Drisco.
Mcintyre wanted the councilmanic
nominations left to the centrsl committee.
for the good reason ne did not want the re-
porters TO get hold Of.

vention was cut, dried and baked affair,
and as usual. Sutton had his way.
