CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Two Committees Are Appointed to
Begin Work.

Chairman Deuprey played the "Anvi
| Chorus" with his gavel on the metal top OF
the speakers stand in striving to call tn,
Democratic municipal convention to order
last evening. Then he retired for mo-
ment to give the members a chance tC
quiet down. After the convention had
been manipulated to a degree OF auietBess
Sergeant-at-Arm OSter was called to the
platform. He salaemed, received his ill.,
sirucliOns salaamed again and retired 10
tue body of the hall.
There was the usual warning to nom
delegates to retire from within the ropes
ana a second order issued for them To
leave the Enclosure. Afterward the dele
gates were instructed not to light up their
cigars, for they would not be permitted 10
smoke, and might as well save their Ha-
Yanas.
Each OF the district delegations was
tn en- called upOn 10 name its chairman, if
one had been agreed upon, and if not t.
announce the name of some delegate to act
temporarily until a chairman could be
agreed upon.
There was the customary inter-delpga-
ton squa0bles over who should have the
ephemeral honor of acting as temporary
chairman, but the dec sive ruling of Cbar-
man Deuprey prevented these squabbles
from taking up much time.
AS announced the chairmen were re-
corded as follows: Twenty-eIghth District,
Z. j. Ryan: Twenty-ninth, Samuel Braun
hart: Thrtieth, NJ. Harris; Thirty-frst,
NJ. j. Mcdonald; Thrtv-third, James J
Dunn; Thirty-fourth. G. w. McGinn;

second, c. a. Finn; Forty-third. S. Saul
man; Forty-fourth, n. Gonorocini; Forty
fifth, j. L. Carey.
The chairman stated that the reading of
the minutes OF the PREVIOUS meeting wouli
be dispensed with IL there were no obj.c-
ton.
A delegate with more voice than knOwl-
edge of parliamentary proceedings shouted:
81 move the reading be adopted" while
the convention laughed.
The secre tsry in announcing those who
had not received credentials called the
name of William Wolf at large, with a
jocular lDtonation intended to suggest a
pun. ana the del gates laughed again.
Charles l.. Weller stepped to the stage to
read the report OF the cOmml ttee on Gre
dentials. He bore no evidences OF the
hard struggle throngn which the commit
tee had passed. His voice was 10 good
shape ana he read the COG names 10 rafting
style.
The usual interruption came, however,
just ter the name of Andy Clunie bad
been named as delegate at large. Some
BODY IN the rear OF the convention pro-
ceeded TO make a hideous, but unin te Iii ible
noise. Loud cries Of Put him oG !" PUT
MIN OUtr drowned the voice of Mr.
Weller and loud demands were made for
the sergeaD t-at-arms.
"If that disturbance is being made in
I he rear OF the hail." said the chairman.
land If 1t is not Immediately stopped the
bail Will be cleared"
This declarat Oh was received with loud
cheers. the noise stopped and one enthus-
isstic delegate shouted:
Il approve of the chairs motion ~
Never you mind the chair" said that
piece OF furniture. ut really doesn't need
your approval"
And The squelched gentleman sat down
AMID the roar of his colleagues.
Mr.. weller proceeded with the report,
concluding with the recommendation that
me committee reported favorsbly upon
me me sealing OF the six delegates from the
Ilconderoga (coloredD Club. This an
h0uncemenG was received with more ap-
plause and Mr.. Weller bowed himself out
of sight.
On motion of P. j. Murphy of the Thir-
ty-iourth District the report of the com
inltiee on credentials was adopted without
revision. ms action comes as a surprise.
Tor IL was thought that the fight mad. in
the comni tee against the sealing of a i
C,nnle would be resumed in convention.
Inc motion of James Smith that a COM
mlttee on permanent organization and ar
der OF business be appoin ted, to consist of
one member from each district and five
delegates at large, was adopted.
The chair was authorized to appoint in
ne same way similar committee on plat
