"and 1t is year when we don't want to

Z. 5. Warner, the chairman, made a
very brief speech, in which he
confessed his inability to see how
the 'eXplanation" explained anything.
He wanted to call attention to the facl
that the meeting in the mayors Office
went farther than the nomination of
DR.. Wheaton. 1t appointed committees
to wait on the other candidates and in
vite them to retire from the field. He
then put the resolution to vote. There
was only one negative vote, and it was
declared carried. Previous to this he
read the following personal letter from

they had chance to get him, and they
availed themselves of it.
Rev. S. q. Smith and Hungry Johns
arose at the same moment, but as the
former sat immediately in front of the
chairman he was recognized. although
Mr.. Johns made kick. DIR. Smith
introduced his remarks by sarcastic
aliusion to the ''ingenious explanation
or Mr. Brunson and Mr.. Richardson, !"
and remarked that while those present
were honest men they were no spring
chickens" to be fed upon such chaff.
He said Mayor Wright had right to
nominate maE-if he could-and so
had MIR. BrunsOn and Mr.. Richard
son. But those gentlemen had
no right to call together half-dozen
gentlemen, agree upon their man TO the
exclusion of all others. ana send abroad
the word that all other candidates must
withdraw.
No man. he said, should be ruled out
of the contest by such Small coterie,
even though it had the official indorse-
ment of the mayor. because of locality.
Doran, he said, was his preference,
but he could support any nominee
whose fidelity to the party was unQues-
toned. Before he would support DR..
Wheaton he wanted to hear what his
political views and affiliations were.
He would like to have some one tell him
what were DR.. Wheaton's political an
teceGents and associations.
Harris Richardson looked wise and
said nothing, and c. b. Brunson reflect
ed in silence.
Il will probably support Or. Wheaton
If he is nominated and L find on investi-
CATION that he is good Republican"
he said. Henry Johns rose excitedly
and asked: Twill you support him,
anyhow"
The minister politician pushed
through the crowd as far as he could
get in the direction of Johns. and, ex-
tending his long arm, shouted: NO.
sir; will not support any man on any
ticket if l know him to stand for free
whisky and wide-open saloons"
This was greeted with wild rounds of
cheers, amid which the speaker took his
seat.
Mr.. Johns then secured the floor and
held it for half an hour, most of which
time he consumed in telling how he had
established Republicanism in Ramsey
county; how "for years he had carried
into every county and city convention
in the county a delegation from the
Fourth ward which had been a credit
! to him, to the party and the ward" He

An AIl-Night Session of Their Con.
| vention-Inform Ballot Was
for NJ. II. Prendergast, but De.
bate Knocked Him Out-The
Rest of the Ticket May Be
| Named by Daylight.
The Socialists, the Populists and the
united labor people. had monkey-and-
! parrot time last night trying to nomi-
nate city ticket. There were twenty
| five delegates from each of the associa-
tions named, and every delegate had
two or three speeches on each of some
hundred motions made, but many made
their speeches at the same time and so
the convention got along faster than
| might be expected. 1t was 80 before
vote for mayor was taken, and then 1t
| was All informal one.
The candidates were M. r. Prender-
CAST. of the st. Paul Stove works; Col.
| j. Ham Davidson. James III. Burns and
w. w. Erwin. The informal ballot
showed forty-three votes for Prender-
CAST. The motion to make the informal
ballot formal and to declare Mr.. Prem
dergaSt the nominee caused a hot de-
bate, and sent the convention into ex-
ecutive session. Mr.. Curry stated that
he could not vote for Mir. Prendrrgast
because he tried to burst the labor
union.
James Mcdaniel objected to making
the informal ballot formal, and declared
that Prendergast stands no more chance
of being elected than yellow dog in
hades. He said he would never vote
for man who had tried to down the
union. He declared that his nomina-
tion had undone the work of organized
labor of fifty years.
The candidacy of j. I'll. Burns was
discussed, and Judge j. l.. Macdonald
advised against nominating man who
stands impeached before the gouernor.
John +. kreiger made a good chair
man. nj. X. Prendergast was secretary
of the convention. The committee on
resolutions consisted of Judge Mac
Donald, Feyder. H. w. bennett, M, r.
Murray, X. f. Leppla, Montgomery and
Il. Mcdonald. A platform was adopted
that is substantially as published in the
GLOBE last week. but was amended in
some particulars.
After bitter fight. which lasted until
2:30 a. m., Mr.. Prendergast withdrew.
and on The third ballot seyenty-two
votes were cast, as follows:

Col. Dayldson's nomination was then
made unanimous.
Emil Constant was nominated for
treasurer, and McCardy will probably
be selected for comptroller.
At 3 a. III. the convention was still in
sessi III, considering the remainder of
the ticket.
Col. Davidson is out of the city. but a
message was sent him apprslng him of
his nomination, and an answer is ex.
pected today.

Ninth Ward Dawson, Murphy and
Hinebaugh club. and by unanimous
vote endorsed William Dawson Jr for
mayor, Hinebaugh for assemblyman,
Murphy for alderman and Nelson for
justice Of the peace. Speeches were
made by Ehrmanntraut, who declined
to be candidate for assemblyman and
recommended Hinebaugh, by Hine-
haugh, by Judge Nelson, r. A. Walsh
and Emmett Roach. Ehrmanntraut
apologized for not having been
more regular in his attendance at the
|sclub meetings, giving as reason t he
danger from hold-ups under the present
city administration. Hinebaugh urged
Dawson, and regarded the GLOBE car
toOn of the engine coming aronnd the
bend as one of the best things of the
campaign. With Dawson the standard
bearer the bogy man would cut no
figure.
Judge Nelson was strong and enter
tanning in his remarks. He still hoped
that Robert A. Smith, in his judgment
born to rule and represent the true
interest of the city and nit to be presi-
dent, would yet accept.
Hon. R. A. Walsh roasted the coal
combine and the millionaires, made so
>by depressing the people. and asserted
hot fI.an l,oyo
than the common highwaymen. He
ridiculed the present alderman from
the Ninth ward as a harmless fellow
who could not make and did not de-
serve an enemy, and commended Muir
ply. Roach also opposed Cullen, and
regarded Dawson as strong candidate.
\ The club meets week from Thurs
day evening at jackson and Valley
streets. Good speakers will be present.
