that he cannot be elected. Others, still,
declare that the NOD-Partisans will indorse
Haley and that he cannot fail of election
Eddie Graney had to take the news back
to the stable, and he didn't look cheerful
over the job.
The convention then passed on to,other
nominations. The election of Police
judges took long time. as there were
four TO be chosen and the calling of the
roll was very slow process. After that
nominations were made by reclamation as
related In the regular proceedings. The
slated candidates were nominated for
Police Judge and the old programme. was
resumed.
1t has been learned that the withdrawal
Of William M. Hinton from the contest for
Auditor was because he would not bow
down to Rainey. He told Graney that he
didn't want tiff IL had to come from
Rainey, but he was placed in nomination,
nevertheless. and it was so arranged that
he should get enough votes to lead Brod-
erick. but not enough to make him the
nominee of the convention. This was in-
tended to bring Broderick 10 terms. After
Mr.. Broderick had done "good politics"
as he said on the following day. Hinton
was dropped. 1t has been so throughout.
Rainey demands submission from the can
didates, and those who make peace get the
nominations. Hsley's case is the excep-
ton. he was an unusually strong candi-
date, and there was concerted movement
in his favor. Parliamentary tactics and a
good chairman did the rest

deserving nf reward in the way of renom-
inatinn. Applause.
Delegate Ach then arose and asked the
chair to make ruling regarding the resig-
nation of John Kreliug as a delegate,
which had been referred to the committee.
He said that he understood that Mr..
Kreling was out for he nomination as
County Clerk. for which he would lot be
eligible as a delegate, and he thought that
the matter should be taken out of the
committees hands. [Cries of mo, mol"
from the delegates anu galleries.
~ do not think it right that any can
didate should be shut Out,"' cried Mr.. Ach.
["Shut upl" came The cry from The GAL
ieries
"Order, order!" howled Chairman Deu-
prey, as he banged upon his metal stand
with a forty-horsepower force.
II move" yelled Ach, "that the matter
be taken from the hands of the committee
and that il come before the convention.
There were bowls and Kisses and cries
of 'Sit down." Half hundred delegates
bobbeG uD in their seats with motions to
table, noints Of order, questions of infOr-
nation and all the other subtleties of par
liamentary law. And the bowls against
and the denuDciations of Ach grew louder
and louder. The chair fumed and shouted
for order, but he might as well have
butted his head against a stone wall.
There was no stopping the opposition to
the effort Ach was about to make to push
Kreling into The fight.
Finally the chair recognized pale young
man in the Thirty-fourth delegation. who
addressed him as "Worthy sir" and sprung
two points of order, both of which stuck,
but neither of which seemed to phase A CHI
despite the loud bowls of delight through
out The hall, which seemed to be down on
the speaker.
Ach. forgetting that he already had one
motion before the convention, launched
another from the tip of his tongue.
"Mr. Chairman" he yelled, fliugiug his
index finger at the honorable occupant of
the double-decked chairs somewhat after
the manner of a melodramatic Mephis-
topheles, "Mr. Chairman. do now move
you, sir, that this convention do adjourn
till ;c-moriow evening at 8 o'clock"
When the misses whieh greeted this mo-
tion had subsidized, Delegate Clunie was up
for recognition by the char.
Il rise TO point of order" said rhe
delegate who had been making more noise
probably than any other single mem Der.
1.-THE delegate rose to question of infor-
nation, aud under that he has no right to
make motion"
The chair ruled that DeIega ate CIunIe
was right, and there were more yells of de-
light, out of the midst Of which the voice
of Delegate James F. Smith was heard
The morning call., 1894-09-27

Last tuesday when tie boss made his ap
pearanee at the Baldwin the place was
packed with politicians. Yesterday it was
deserted, because the only man who has
the power to do anything for the candi-
dates was not there
Of one thing the politicians are quite
sure and that is that l.. r. Ebert will be
nominated for Mayor. 1t is also certain
that W. S. Barnes will be allowed to run
for District Attorney and j. II. Wilder is
sla ed for Treasurer.
Boss Burns allowed host of names to
be placed before the convention. He asks
the public 20 pick the winners, but the per-
centage is so heavy that the public will
hardly risk going against the slate.
There was the claqueur doing its part to
boost the extravaganza which was pre-
sented last evening and applause was dis
trlbuted at frequent intervals with reck-
less disregard of Partially. The show
will be presented again tomorrow evening.
During the afternoon the committee on

members of the Thirty-fourth District,
and the delegates are pledged not to aspire
for Office. Rainey's fertile brain did not
halt at this obstacle. lie simply had
Kreling send in his resignation as dele
gate and instructed his political servants
IN the convention to vote for him. That,
he thought would settle the matter and
secure for him the enormous patronage OF
the Co unity Clerks office in the event OF
the success OF the Democratic party at the
polls.
Great CONSERVATION was created among
the County Clerks friends when 1t be-
came known that Rainey had laid his
talons on this prize, too, but they did not
despond. They only marsbaled their
forces and determined to give battle. If
with bis record for economy Mr.. Haley
could not receive the nomination from the
Democratic party when no one else was
seriously seeking it, they would give the
public a chance of knowing the facts.
They, too, laid their plans. Every man In
the County Clerks Office was Instructed
by CHER Deputy Flemniing to be present
at the convention aud see that no Haley
delegate was absent.
The parliamentary end of the fight was

| the delegates stating that as Kreliug had
been named by the delegation the delega-
lion alone had the right to name his sue
cessor.
After some sQuabbling the matter was
! sent back to the committee for further
report.
John +. Qligg was named as the choice
| of the Twenty-Second Assembly District to
represent it 10 the Assembly. James p.
| Sweeney was named as the choice of the
Forty-frst Assembly District.
| Delegates composing the Eighteenth
! Senatorial District reported that they had
chosen Hugh Toner as their candidate for
! Senator.
The reports were ratified by the conven-
ton.
At this point Delegate Aeh informed the
chair that in reference 10 the Superior
Judges there was q short term to be filled !:
owing TO the resignation of Judge CARRIER.
and the fact that the appointee holds over
to the next general election, there would
be from four TO six weeks OF a short
term.
That had been called to his attention,
the chair said. and he had referred it to
the committee on permanent organization,
the committee would meet this morning
at 20 o'clock in room 80. Phelan building,
t. dispose of the maitsr.
Nominations for County Clerk were
then announced In order by the chair.
James F. Smith took the platform amid
great cheering. He said he desired to
PLACE in nomination for the office of County
Clerk a man who has won not only the
admiration of members of his own party,
but from the citizens irrespective of party.
He was a man who had hot only con-

yelled. They waved their handkerchiefs

Ach endeavored to speak, but Andy
Clunie interposed points of order which
the chair promptly ruled as well taken.
When Ach rose to question of informa-
ton and began to speak CIunie objected
that he was giving information, not ask
ing it.
"Yonr point is well taken," said the
chair.

He put the motion practically in panto-

brought his hammer down on a carried
vote.
And then there was cheering, ears pitt

in their glee. The slate had actually been
broken and the boss was down in the
Stable dirt.
Fully five minutes the chair had to wait
for the delegates to recover their senses
