This result did not seem probable when the CON-
vention assembled something after o'clock last
evening. 1t was known that a majority OF the
committee, headed by r. Fulton Cutting, had
adopted a report recommending the appointment
of Committee of Conference to arrange, If pos
slble for union ticket; and it was not believed
that this advice would be dsregarded
What was thought to be test vote on this
question occurred Immediately after the assem-
bling OF the convention.

ing con gratulations to the Good Government clubs
of Rochester in their determination to run
straight ticket of their own without conference
or compromise" Everett T. Wheeler. Wheeler II.
Peckham and other older heads regarded Mr..
Masons resolution as an effort to forestal the
action of the convention, and Mr.. Wheeler moved
to Law IL upon the table. The motion being unde-
batable Mr. Wheeler was not allowed to reply TO
the grandoquent speech Of Mr. Mason in Offering
his resolution of greeting, but nevertheless Mr..
Wheelers motion was carried by a vote Of 90 to %.
After the majority and minority reports had
been submitted. Preble Tucker offered the fol-
lowing:
Whereas This convention heartily desires the

character TO command the support Oh all sood

was on his feet and clamoring for recognition as
soon the secretary finished the rollcan When
Mr. Mason began to talk about the Good Govern

half of the delegates broke into a cheer and the
others began fidget Mr.. Mason said that the

brave enough to go ahead anC nominate straight
ticket and show that they felt able to dominate
the political situation In Rochester They had
made their own ticket, he said. without confer
