districts. the Second and Ninth. In the
| Second, George M. Mccarthy was hight
ing against J. F. Blackshaw, and there
was a deadlock, which was only solved
by a caucus. which settled that Black
shaw should be the man. Mccarthy

The platform on which the above will
stand was presented to the convention
in a series of resolutions favoring equa
taxation, a constitutional State Conven-
ton to revise the Constitution, a law
supply from the control of syndicates
a rigid enforcement of the election
laws, and that in all schools the
books used by the children hould be
supplied free of cost.
INITIATING DEMOCRATIC WAYS.
One delegate before the Assembly
nominations began, Mr.. Charles Reinke
introduced a resolution to abolish the
convention and put in operation the
new primary scheme adopted by the
Democratic party. The resolution
claimed that the present primary sys-
tenn adopted by Republicans is unsatis'
factory. His plan was referred to- the
County Committee. III
When Secretary Erwin received eacF
candidates signature to his acceptance
the convention adjourned. Woolley's
men went one way saying nice thing
about certain people who had deserted
them. Seymour's men went another
way sore at another's treachery, ant
the machine meT as a whole went
home heartily disguised with the turr
of affairs, unexpected as it was crush
