Nights Proceedings.


rule last night. when Lot D. Norton. who
was said TO be the slate candidate for City
Surveyor, was beaten by Charles Tiltnn.
The latter is very popular man, and
although John d. Spreckels voted for his
opponent. there was no determined stand
on the part of the bosses.
a larger crowd than usual attended the
convention, and the hail was found to be
. ineonveniently small. 4 good deal of
noise prevailed. and Chairman Wall had
. TO threaten 10 have man in the. gallery
elected for hootng at him.
Five justices of the Peace were nomi-
mated at the outset. They were: G. c.

= den, j. L Barry and G. w. f. Cook.
William 5. Barnes had no opposition
for the Office of District Attorney. He

had been presented, and although Marcus
D.. Boruck objected that Mr.. Barnes had
net been nominated ye," made a speech
in which he promised TO fulfill the duties
OF the Gffice faithfully. His reception
was quite enthusiastic and ne was then
nominated. the secretary Deing Instructed
, 10 cast the ballot.
g. Charles Fl. jackson was nominated for
City and County Attorney, and made a
speech n which he alluded to his loyal
ancestry, and declared that he like them
would always be found battling for the
Republican principles.
:. CT. Curry was nominated for County
Clerk, and Dr. W. j. Hawkins for Coroner.
Ia the midst Of the proceedings a dele
gate arose and stated that it had been as
serted that member of the convention
had attempted to sell a nomination for
Superior Court Judge. He thought that
the convention should take notice of the
charge and appoint a committee of five to
investigate it.
The chair stated the motion was out of
order and the inqusitive delegate sub
sided.
The rumor alluded to was to the effect
that D. S. Dorm had, through his friends,
in t.mated to II. B. Mayo that he might
have the nomination for Supe ror Judge
upon payment of $1,000 to A. f. Johns for
Mr.. Dorm. The statement came from Tim
Sullivan. who had been engineering
Nlayo's fight. by talking to Dan Burns for
the aspiTant- Sullivan said that while he
was arranging the business Mayo came to
him and said that Dorm had been trying 20
get money out of him. Thereupon Sulli-
van Informed Burns, and the matter was
considerably talked about.
John Chretien's name was dragged iD
as be bad introduced Mayo 20 Dorm and
Johns. He asserts that be knew nothing
about any money transaction end only in
treduced Mayo because Dorm had asked
him to do so. Dorm denied the story in
TITO, and when he confronted Mayo the
latter admitted that Dorm had made no
demand of him, but that Johns bad on
Dorn's behalf. Last night Dorm said that
the story had beer concocted to injure bin
and that be had nothing to say about it
except TO reiterate that there was not a
word of truth in it.
Some of the Assem- bly, and Senatorial
districts yesterday nominated their candI-
dates for the Legislature Under the
order adopted by the convention all of
them were to have met at 2 o'cllck to per-
form this work and to name O member of
the new County Committee from each

tions, however, for some reason or another
failed to carry out this programme, aud no

Four Senators were chosen as follows
Eighteenth District, NJ. w. Coffey; Twen-
tieth. Eugene f. Bert; Twenty-second, W.
5. Wood; Tweniy-fourth. J. Ii. Mahoney.
The nomination of Senator j. a. Ma
honey for the Senate from the Twenty
fourth District caused a howl Of indigna-
ton from the respecable element of the
party in that part of tie city. Residents
of the Mob Hill section Of the district
declare that they are sick and tired of hav-
ing the district ruled by such men as "Fat
Jack" O'Connor, Mike Flynn and Pro-
prietor Licht of the Kearny-street Palace
Varieties, who are members eff the delega-

Instrumental in bringing about the nom
nation of Mahoney. To add to their dis
: satisfaction, William L, Boothby of the
sat Jack" O'Connor crowd was nomina-
ted Tor the Assembly in the Forty-fitth
p over j. b. Olsen, man of education and
property-owner, who could command the
votes OF the decent people of the distric,
at the general election. MahOney's nomi-
nation defeats George Williams. Williams
mas decided 10 run Independent. He says
be VIII have his petitions out Monday
morning, and that he can quickly
get ali the signatures he requires.
The people do not like Mahoney, and he
had nothing at his back except that he is
very close to Dan Burns. A well-known
resident Of the Twenty fourth said yester-
day that he would devote his time and
spend money IN every legitimate way to
defeat Burns messenger and doorkeeper.
I'VE are tired of having lot of dive
keepers impose corrupt men on us. and we
intend 10 show Burns this time that if he
permits them to do it his nominees will
