ing and did some more work on Their
ticket.
Godfrey Fisher was nominated for Taz
Collector; Joseph Fassler, dairyman, was
named for Public Administrator; Henry
Doescher, proprietor of the Seal Rock
House, for Treasurer, and DR.. Thomas P
Bodkin for Coroner.
The hall was crowded upstairs and
down and out through the entrance &c
the bar.
This is like old times, hey?' said the
lambs, ioyfully, and they asked, ''Are the
peop.'s with Buck or not, do you think

1t was Democratic municipal conven-
tion of the ''real o!d-fashioned under-dog
Democracy" as Reel Terry calls it, by
the life of every aisle and file of chairs
by the smoke that befogged the motley
crowd above the gallery rail and by the
reckless restlessness of half the mass.
Colonei A. A. Andrews, immaculate and
prim, sat in front seat and smoked a
corncob pipe. 7. Carl Spelling was there
in the plug hat that he wears since he
wrote the political love story, won on a
Silver Basis" Robert Ferral who hopes
to get on the bench this trip, showed his
way chattering through the boys.
Maurice Schmltt, who thinks he is at
Buckley's resurrection, got the pink
rubbed out of his button-hole. Henry
Ach, the attorney, displayed MS patent
feathers and John Mccarthy, James II.
O'Brien, Joseph RothschiId, DR.. Stanton,
Thomas J. Glynn, D. NJ. Gavigan, William
J. Bryan, Samuel Newman and more OF
those Buckley leaders were hail-fellows as
they steered the programme.
DR.. c. G. O'Donnell fioated about &C
tualiy looking for nomination among
the delegates.
They don't seem to want the Demo
cratic party to win," said the candidate
for Coroner. "If they want to win they
want to put men of strength on their
ticket. But I've got 1000 names on my
petition. though l don't need only 1900,
and I'll have 10000 when get to making
speeches"
They put big flags and a picture OF
Bryan up on the stage last night and the
thrill of the political chase seemed to fill
the boys all around.
Three ladies sat in the gallery over the
clock. 1t was the first time that the
ladies ever graced a Buckley convention
with their refining presence. Their ap-
pearance was supposed to be due to the
Endorsement of woman suffrage the other
night.
They were matronly looking people
ana there were two American citizens
down below in whose humble political
fortunes they are intensely interested.
Chairman Nealon didn't propose to let
another brawl disgrace Mr.. Buckley's con-
vention and by constant hammerins and
shouting and calling on the sergeants-at-
arms he managed 10 keep the restless
crowd in fair subjection.
At O'Clock Chairman Malone started
the proceedings, which opened with dis
pensing, as usual, with the rollcaIl and
minutes.
James II. o. 'Brien, chairman of the COM
mIttee on permanent organization and
order of business, submitted a report
on Legislative nominations which was
intended to make the proceedings on Ieois.
Iahve nominations conform to the Jaw
which requires nominations to be made

afraid that the district conventions pro-
ylded for might ignore the results of the
primary election and name new candi-
dates. he moved to amend the report
so tnat nominations already declared
would be ratified.
Lawrence Buckley, who was defeated
for the nomination by six votes, and who
has contest pending, got up on the STAGE
