$50 do know that he is an honorable
man." sail Mr.. Ach, taking up the thread
of hisldiscOurse, but am not willing that
he should take that responsib ility, which
belongs to me as a member of this conven-
tiOn." [Cheers
Mr. Ach referred to Mr.. Coles question
ing insinuation as to the object of this
scramble for supervisorial nominations.

not God save them. Cheers l hope the
amendment will prevail and l believe that

jeremiah Lynch, the Egyptian poll
tician, next mounted the rostrum and pro-
ceeded to tell why Clunie's amendment
should not be adopted. The eminent
Egyptologist was greeted with mingled
Kisses and cheers. He overlooked the
Kisses and bowed in response to the
cheers. He agreed that the question was
an essential one to come before the con-
vention. But another important matter
was the TACT that the qualifications of
Supervisors must be examined, and that
work could be done better and with more
knOwledgs by a committee than by the
body of the convention. The convention
would not have the leisure to look into the
qualifications of the men who are to handle
81 100000 OF the peoples money and look
out for the essential welfare OF the city
and county Ii such men are not chosen
with care the ticket would be beaten. If
the report was not adopted wound would
be inflicted upon public confidence.
Kisses. The report was not fin al, as the
convention really had the choice of men.
Mr.. Lynch then spoke OF the old boards
in which so much corruption had existed.
The present body was an improvement on
the boards of the past which had brought
disgrace upon the city. He urged that
acton be taken now to use great care in
the selection of men who would lift the
city out of he slough of disgrace and put
~ L
gates were now given chance to select a
ticket which would win. If the report of
the comm tee be rejected the people of
the city would be disappointed. Mr.
Lynch sat down amid more cheers and
Kisses.
p. b. Wellin hurried to the platform to
have his say before he was shut out. He
spoke of his experience in the convention
of two years ago, when committee plan
had been adopted. 1t had not given salts
faction to the people. although the meln-
bers of the committee had worked stead
Easily for the best interests OF the COM
munity and the party. He thought it oes t
that the aspirants for Office should come
before the convention, and they would
then have the confidence Of the people, He
was sorry that any one had doubted the
honesty of purpose of the committee. He
did not. 1t WAS simply an error of judg-
ment.
+. p Hammond got somewhat excited
in regulating the insinuations of Mr..
Lynch that the Democratic party would
weep If the committee was not allowed to
pass upon the Supervisors and School
Directors. Mr.. Hammond said that the
weeping would take place If the matter
was taken out of the hands OF the c0nven-
ton, where it belonged. No sub-commit-
tee or stsr-chamber proceedings were
| needed. [Applause.] He for one didn'i
propose TO waste his time as a deleg ate
and have some one else dictate as TO how
he should vote. wild applause]
