The final fight OF the day. and the one
that completed the "disgguntlement" OF
the straight-out Democracy. was then
sprung BY the First ward statesman.
A. @. Lane read a typewriter resolu-
ton, and moved its adoption. II was as
follows:
Whereas, The Peoples party of the
city of Seattle has chosen ]. Eugene Jor-
dan its leader and its candidate for
mayor; and
Whereas, The said j. Eugene Jordan
has for four years faithfully served the
citizens of the city OF Seattle in the board

nominated and elected him TO said position
as a member Of the board of aldermen four
years ago. can now point with pride 10 his
record as an alderman of the city OF Seat

he questioned the right of the majority Of
the convention TO force the nominees of
another party on him. He. for one. was
not haf-brother TO any PopuIist. The re-
mainder of his remarks We're lost in cries

umphant majority.
Josiah Collins made a like attempt TO
meet with a similar fate. Above the din,
however, he could be heard TO state that he
did not consider himself bound by the reso-
luton. however much he might be com
mitted 10 the support OF the Democrats
regularly placed in nomination. The Jor-
danites had the regulars downed. and in
