Second Precinct.

Second Precinct.
The Second precinct convention was
held in the Continental Market and
was well attended Although business
began at an early hour the Fifteenth
ward delegation caused a delay by the
election OF it's representatives to the
city convention, an act which took the
members thereof nearly an hour lon
ger than any other delegation at the
meeting. But all things come to those
who wait, and after a time even the
Fifteenth ward responded to the call
of time. The convention, while wait
ing, transacted all the other business
it han on hand and thus avoided an
| annoyance which it would otherwise
have been subjected.
John Shea called the convention to
order at 8 o'clock and Hugh Watson
was chosen chairman and De Witt b.
Lowe secretary 1t looked for time
as though the convention would get
through in short time, but the I'M
I expected happened. The committee on
! credentials reported in short time,
and the delegates whose names nave
been published in The Herald were de-
clared entitled to seats.
The following order of business was
decided upon:
Election of delegates to the city
convention, election of campaign
committee for the precinct. nomination
of three candidates for the city coun-
Gil. miscellaneous.
The convention took a recess for the
purpose of selecting the delegates to
the city convention and after various
