and worthy of the compliment. The
vote was taken and there was a
division of the house. The partici-
pants were lined up on either side Of
the old school room like spelling
down class. Then by the Pickering
candle the tellers counted noses.
The result was that the motion car
| ried bv a vote of % to 16. A motion
to adjourn was interrupted by a
growl from j. H. Kirsch that the
delegation had not been properly
selected, and that he had been de-
prived of a chance to speak upon it.
Bat the house had no time for kirsch,
and the motion to quit carried, the
crowd filed out and the disgrun,led
| were left to blow out the light.

Boss Collins Fifth ward delegation
was turned down to the tune of about
two to one. But everything passed
off smoothly until the announcement
of the result, when there were utter
ances of dissatisfaction from the
stereotyped politicians who composed
the defeated delegation. When
Frank Kelly raped for order the
little building on Twenty-second
street was packed. T. F. Cary was
made chairman and Frank Kelly
secretary and Frank Brough and
Charles Oswald were appointed
tellers. John Huntoon made his GUS
tomary motion that the eight dele
gates receiving the highest number
of votes be declared elected. And so
it went. The ballot showed these
delegates to be elected by vote
ranging between 121 and 1875, except

Charles Oswald. Frank Kelly, M. I.

votes apiece. Probably no one on

, heaved deep sigh when the result
, was read and consoled himself with

I have not the cards you can't win. .
