chances by seconding his nomination with
a speech. but the strength OF the eonVen-
ton even before the voting was strongly
in favor of Maple. A third name. that OF
NJ. L. Maddox. OF White River, was pre-
scented and then nominations closed
Some lively lobbying was then INDUCED IN

The gentle fall OF white pieces OF paper

JACK M'poSALD ROASTED.
When the nomination for sheriff was
announced a perceptible renewed inter-
est in the convention was made
manifest The candidates placed in
nomination were: J. +. Adelman, OF
Houghton; William III. Meyer. of the
Ninth ward Jack Mcdonald. of Riverside
Park; William Cochrane, of White River,
and Eben r. Davis, of the First ward.
DIR. A. S. Hughes, of Kent, seconded
the nomination of "Bill" Cochrane. and
did it in such long winded, rambling
speech that time was called on
him by the delegates and he had
finally to be howled down before he would
quit speaking. Long speeches were de-
ciared out of order. and Mr.. Hayes. on
seconding Jack Mcdonald. met with the
same fate.

candidate presented Shouts OF mol"
sides. This nettled HaIIested. and
he spoke through the turmoil,
claiming that Jack Mcdonald was
the man who had in the interest OF cor
porations driven out women and children
from poor shanties on the water front; :
that he was not fit to be candidate
on Peoples party ticket and would
disgrace ii if his name was put there. He
had much more TO say. but the bowling,
the shouting and the yells were SO great
that he could no longer be heard.
George Comox of the Sixth ward. took
up the gauntlet for Hallested when quiet
was in a measure restored and said no
mans name should be put on a
ticket whose record could not be
rumpus of bowls and shouts
to shut off further speaking, and it took
the chairman considerable muscular effort
by pounding the table with his gavel be-
fore he succeeded in securing anything
like order.
Frank Terrace, of New Castle. I'M
daunted by the two previous speeches,
said he was a miner and knew
that the character of Jack Mcdonald
was such as to make him unfit
to associate with Populists. He
was the man who. in the employ Of cor
porations, helped TO drive miners, their
wives and children from their homes.
He Was the man who, few years
ago, kept cigar store, drove
away union labor. hired scabs, and had to
be hoycotted for selling Chinese cigars and
hiding them under the counter when the
union men came around.

The convention was by this time wild
with disorder over the subject. and it took

speak again at one end OF the hall. while
several others tried to talk at the same
time in another portion OF the hall and

Time, !" Order" ''Sit down. Put him
