That's all want, sir" was the reply.
Platform" shouted galleries aud dele

who, as he declared, represented the best
elements of the Democratic party of this
city, could make wise selection of nomi-
nees for Supervisors and School Directors.
The attempt to refer these Nominations

the members of any committee. TCheers.1
The only possible object" continued

select honest and fair neu. For that
reason have provided that every man who
seeks to come before the convention shall
have that privilege. 1t is provided that the
consideration of the names submitten

that the citizens of this city will have
ample opportunity to examine the name
OF every man."
Ii any improper name was submitted.

find it out before Monday, aud would make
such nomination imposslb bic. Such q course
would gain the confidence of the COM

Clunie was we'll taken. Il am backed bv

men want to become Supervisors forP

This convention must be unbiased ami

and asked the delegates If they thought

committee was Enthusiastically. Ii was an

willing to trust Chairman Deuprey, as he
knew he was untrammeled and uncou-
