necessary pains to ascertain through let
ters and otherwise what names should and
could be presented. He suggested that
every delegate be restricted 10 speeches of
three minutes, aud il any went beyond
that the chairman should choke them off.
ID. j. Mahoney was opposed to the plan
OF making nominations directly from the
committee reports. as many good men
might be overlooked. He was decidedly
in favor of first making nomin aticns in open
convention.
Then the motion to give the eighth order

Mr.. Brtton arose to another point of
order. He said that communications
came fifth in order and the convention was
proceeding 10 nominations. which was the
eighth. But the point of order was not
sustained.
The judiciary committee reported the
following names for Police Judges:
Charles T. Conlan Cd, H. L. Joachimsen

1he committee had only two names for
Superior Judges, and therefore did not
feel ready TO report. Further time was
granted, but it was decided that nomina-

Dundon 160.
1t became evident when the rollcall of
the delegates-at-large had been proceeded
with for a score or more votes that no
election could be had. When Andy Gu
ME voted for Dundon the galleries ex-
pressed displessure by sinister remarks.
Sam Braunhart called for the absentees,
declaring that it was a parliamentary
right.
Andy Clunie raised the point Of order
that the chairman had ruled that unless
the delegate was in his seat when his
delegation was called he lost his right to
vote. The point of order was sustained.
The vote of the delegates-at-large was:
Freese II, Dundon 80.
The chair announced the total vote as:

Joseph Britton stated that this was not
customary mode OF procedure, so he
moved that the eighth order of business,
providing fer nominations, instead of the
third. which is the heading for reading of
reports of standing committee, be taken
up.
DR.. A. c. Hirst asked for information
regarding the spirit of report, if it were to
place names in nomination without taking
reports from committees, and also if il

To this Frank Sullivan added that he

report, as il had not completed its work.
The committee met yesterday afternoon in
the rooms of the Young Mems Business
Club, Baldwin Annex, and cons dered a
long list of names.
The session was held with closed doors,
and candidates were admitted one at a
time and closely questioned on their atti-

railroad companies. The members of the

Chairman Deuprey thought that there was
another fight behind the scenes and called
upon tire sergean t-at-arms to quell the riot.
Friends of both sides gathered about
the excited group. Several very reliable
men assured Smith that he was mistaken.
and he finally said to Charles w. Reed
that he would consent to have the nnm-
ination of School Superintendent go over
until to-day in order to give time for a
thorough investigation of the matter.
With this understanding he left the
crowd and wentdOwn among the delegates
again. He was very busy going about the
hall, and wherever he went there was
noise and confusion.
The chair on one occasion had to call
him by name and request that he take his
seat. so that the business OF tie convention
might be proceeded with. The excited
delegate had to sit down then, but be was

The motion was put in different form

The New York Sun thus refers to
Congressman Sibley, Of Pennsylvania,
who recently rendered his resignation
to Governor Pattison as Representative
from the Erie district:
ut is greatly to Mr.. Sibley's credit
that he would rather resign than stay
in the House and vote for the un Demo
cratic Wilson tariff bill. 1t would be
even more to his credit if he had made
up his mind to stay in the House III
order to vote against that bill, for the
sake Of honest Democracy"
Mr.. Sibley is a man of strong cOnvic-
tions, and believes in talking and vot-
ing from a standpoint of what he
~conceives to be right rather than from
one of expediency. He recently IN
hesitatingly denounced some Of the
features of the Wilson bill, and at the
same time gave it out as his opinion
that the tariff had nothing to do with
hard times or good times, but that the
country was suffering from too much
politics. Mr.. Sibley is a millionaire,
but is one of the staunches friends Of
the masses that has occupied a seat in
Congress for years. An effort made
to induce him to withdraw his resigna-
ton, we are glad to learn, has met
with success.
