FOB THE REGULAR DELEGATES.
"a minority of the committee on cre-
dentials find as a matter of fact that a
regular and legal primary election was
held at a time and place duly and legally
designated by the proper authority: that
the attack upon the regular officers of the
poll and the temporary assumption'of the
functions of the election officers by parties
pretending TO represent the bystanders
was an interference and usurpation; that
the regularly constituted officers were only
temporarily absent; that the due and or
derry progress of the election was resumed,
and that the minority committee thence
recommend to the convention that the
regular delegates from the Flrst ward be
admitted to their seats in this convention.

The reading Of this minority report was
received with Kisses from the crowd of
outsiders marshalled by Considine. The
chairman called the cease to order, and
eat fvhf Ia IN rA@ 80
convention, but not in Republican con-
vention. John W. Corson addressed the
convention on the minority report, claim
ing that the regularly appointed primaries
in the First ward we're the only legal ones,
and as such should be recognized. 1t was
question Of Law. and law should ever
prevail.
Wiley answered with a fiery speech,
which was received with wild cheering
from the outside mob. The First ward
bad no legal standing in this convention,
and no matter whom II affected, he felt
that he could not stand by the action Of
the men In the First ward.
John II. Elder sustained Mr.. Corson's
remarks and claimed that the regular del
egation from Ehe First ward should be
seated. The disgracefui scene in the First
ward primaries was the result Of fsud
between Jim Woolsry aud the chief OF DO
lice with John Considine as the Mephis-
tophelss to urge Woolsry on 10 his illegal
action.
W. v Rinehart, jr., spoke in favor Of the
delegates being seated and said the several
hundred Republicans in TIA. ward should
not be made 10 suffer because there hap
psned 70 have been a few corrupt judges
in the primsries-
w. L. Gay said that according to the re-
port Of the committee on credentials the
Firsi ward was thrown cut This vas
wrong, especially as the report vas fol-
lowed BY no evidence IN support OF It's
action in arbitrarily throwing out the

in adopting the majority report OF the
COMMITTEES was usurpation Of power and
crime in denying 20 the many hundred
honest Republicans in the wAFd repre-
sensailon. lie sEsn made . motion that
