time they had had the mayor of the city
in its history, with the exception of DR..
Stewart. He wanted the gathering to
understand the question 10 be whether
the party in power should he retained.
Up 10 this time Mr.. tightner had not
drawn out any applause and so he
played the card of Dar Reese. the Cicero
of the party, and declared that "1'his is
a Republican year." Some applauded
and Others laughed. BE then proceeded
to say that it is more than question of
politics that confronts the people, and
pronounced the city government of the
past Ten OF twelve years as bad and eX-
travagant. He admitted frankly that
all parties make their mistakes and
added that while the present admins
tration had made some mistakes that
will be admitted, yet there were re-
deeming features therein.
At the conclusion of Chairman Light

the Fifth ward, was chosen temporary

AID Reardon was announced as COM

ward on proxy, ana the mention of
the fact created applause.
Thomas Howard did not 60 before
the committee with protest against
the Ninth ward delegation. His reason
for not doing so was that his friends in
other wards had been defeated, and he
had been advised that he would be
beaten in the convention, and Tim
Reardon, whom he denominated as an
..unwashed BRUTE" would crow over
the result. -

Mr.. Doran was declared the nominee
after the crowd got through cheering
and tossing their hats in the air. Mr..
Reardon arose with a large crowd OF
others. and, throwing his hat up about
twenty feet, cheered loudly. His hat
sailed back into the audience like a
boomerang.
When the confusion had subsidized it

can City Convention.

Morning Session OF the Repubii.
can City Convention.
The delegates and large contingent
of on.lookers assembled at Market hall
as early as 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. BY the time the convention was
called to order, half-hour later, the
hall was well filled. The 143 delegates
occupied the front seats. and the crowd
filled up the back Of the hall even to
crowding into the aisles.
Gates A. johnson, chairman of the
Republican city committee, pounded on
table with a clinch hammer and pro-
ceeded to read short speech, which
began with the statement that he saw
before him many faces that had been in
the front rank of the great Republican
party for. 10. these many years, and
ending with a request to ''Please
choose temporary chairman" When
turning to the second page of his speech
it slipped from his grasp and floated to
the front row of delegates. The read
ing was suspended until Capt. Bean re-
turned the manuscript to the chairman.
Aid. John Copeland nominated for
temporary chairman Fred NJ. Lloyd, Of
the First ward.
Gen. Mark ID. Flower, as prear-
ranged, arose to place in nomination
Assemblyman William II. Lightner for
that position. He made the speech as
scheduled. but told the convention that
he did SO without knowing the attitude
of Mr.. Ligllrner on the mayoralty. lie

while they might not agree as to
the nomination of the convention. yet
he believed in the honesty ef AIr. Light
ner, and felt that he would be impartial

Bernard Zimmerman, of the Fifth
ward, seconded the nomination of Mr.,
| Lightner.
Chairman Johnson asked Vandiver,
who sat on the stage having fun, what
to do, and was told to take the vote on
the nomination of Lloyd first.
Just then ID. F. Reese came to the re
lief Of the chairman, and moved for a
call Of the wards and to empower the
chairmcn of the ward delegations to an
nounce the votes by wards on the choice
| for temporary chairmali. This motion
| prevailed after being amended by Fred
erick Driscoll ST., of the Seventh ware.

o. B. Lewis, of the Sixth ward, asked
the DOran men to caucus OH the stage.
MGILL MEN CAUCUS.
The McGill caucus lasted but few mo-
ments and resulted in withdrawing the
name of the ex-governor. Henry Johns
presided at the caucus. A canvass of
the delegates present was made at the
suggestion of Gen. Flower. which devel-
oped the fact that not more than forty
four men could be depended upon to
vote for McGill, and it was currently
believed that he would not gain in
strength. Gen. Flower Informed the
caucus that Mr.. McGill had authorized
him to use his Judgment in Withdrawing
his name. Gen. Flower advised the
withdrawal, and declared that he be-
lieved such course would help Mr.
Doran, as some of the McGill delegates
wanted to vote for Mr.. Doran. The sug-
gestion of Gen. Flower was agreed to
by the delegates.

The OOran delegates and about fifty
sympathiZers who were not delegates.
met on the stage. o. 3. Lewis presided.
and Paul Martin. who was not a dele
gate, took an active part seconding mo-
tions and coaching the delegates. On
motion of Fred Lloyd it was decided to
stand by DOran first, last and all the
time. 1t was also decided to do no trad
ing and to make the fight on the mayor
atty irrespective OF other offices.

Unanimous to Take Off the 10
Per Cent Tax-Unconditiona
Repeal Not Favored by All.
WASHINGTON. April 10.-The Demo-
cratic eau Gus, after session of two
hours and half, this evening adopted
the following resolutions without dis
senting vote:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
caucus that the prohibitory tax of 10
per cent on bank issues be repealed.
Resolved, that when the bill known
as the Brawley and Spencer bill, which
the committee on banking and currency
Las ordered reported to the house, is
called up for action, an amendment be
offered repeating the prohibitory tax on
state banks; that ample time be af.
forded for discussion, and if necessary
to secure this, the committee Oh rules
be requested to take proper action.
Exactly 102 Democrats of the house
were present. The attendance from the
South and West was very heavy, but
only few Eastern men appeared,
among them beiug Messrs. Straus, Cum
mings. Dunphy and Warner. New
Massachusetts, aud Sibley, Pennsyl-
,, vaDia. The discussion of the repeal OF
the state bank tax proceeded in des-
ultory way for time and took wide
range. Mr.. CuIberson. of Texas, chair
man of the judiciary committee, made
strong speech In favor Of it.
After some further talk, the above
resolutions were offered, the first by
Mr.. Cox, of Tennessee. and the second
by Mr.. Culberson. There was but little
diversity of opinion in the caucus OH
the question of the adyisablllty of TAX
ing up for consideration the question of
the repeal, but there was some opposi-
tion to unconditional repeal. The only
outspoken opponents of any measure
looking to the repeal of the state bank
tax came from Messrs. Bryan. of Ne
braska, and Lane and Williams, of
Illinois. Messrs. Gresham, of Texas;
Swanson. of Virginia; Catchings. of
Mississippi; Cooper, of Indiana, and
others ardently favored the proposition.
Mr.. Cummings, of New York, made
ringing speech at the end in favor of
the repeal. At the conclusion of his
speech the resolutions were adopted
and the caucus adjourned.
The result of the caucus means that
the bill to repeal the state bank tax
shall be considered as a rider to the
Brawley. bill, which is now on the cal
endar, and that vote shall be had upon
it. 1t was generally admitted in the
caucus tonight that this repeal could
not be accomplished Internationally.
MIR. Swanson gave as the result of the
canvass 129 votes for unconditional re-
peal, and Mr.. Williams declared as a
result of his investigation that major
ity OF the house fasors repeal, although
not Internationally. The question of
conditions was but briefy touched upon

of the First ward yesterday, with a
contemptuous toss of the head. 'It
