berlain moved that they be so referred. The

Ing had been said. Mr.. Markham suggested
that as the friends OF some of the candidates
(Mr. Chamberlain is a particular friend of
Mr.. Doran) seemed dissatisfied, the resolu-
tions might appropriately be referred. That
would have been a happy solution of it and
have saved much scandal, for eventually in
the discussion, the covert illusions to the OBJ

ed, and finally the mask was torn off and the
Then Mr.. Chamberlain explained that he had
only moved to recommit the resolutions be-
cause he did not consider the market clause
exactly the proper thing for a party plat
form. There were motions to reconsider and
to lay on the table and to refer and to
recommit and all were in a snarl, except the
chairman, who finally brought order out of
chaos, with the resolutions before the full
convention.
Sam Lowenstein said the resolutions as they
stood would be weight on the shoulders of
every man on the ticket. Rev. Sam Smith re-
torted that the only victory the Republicans
had won In the city. was on much more
drastic liquor plank. This was crisis in the

want their votes yet, and Dar cut right back
at him that he would get them anyway.
Really it was getting good that the rain
ceased and the sun stuck corner out
from behind cloud to get glimpse of it.
Then came the voting. The First ward did
not want to show it's hand, but the convention
ruled that the First could not play any band
wagon act just at that stage, and the game
would be delayed until the First ward voted.
Doran got the most of it, and half of the Sec
ond, all of the Sixth and most of the Eighth,
which gave him 109 votes. The Ninth gave
him five, which was ia. The Tenth five more,
which made 119. He needed all Of the nine
votes of the Eleventh ward and he only got
five of them. But the First ward Warrens
ward, grasped the situation and Topped before
the vote was announced. Hats went into the
air, and for ten minutes the band wagon was
heavily loaded. Everybody was happy, and
committee on resolutions was appointed. 1t
was time for lunch and all were impatient, as
the main issue was done with. Sam Lowen-

First ward was called Fred Lloyd had to show
his hand, and made well-rounded nomina-
tion of Frank B. Doran to break the ice.
There were some secondng speeches, sincere
enough, but perfunctory.
The first real animation appeared during
Rev. S. G. Smiths speech nominating Capt
Castle. The Republicans must put up a
strong man, he said. He had been a strong
supporter of Mr.. Doran two years ago.
why don't you do it now?" came from the
Sixth. -
Mr.. Smith told why, only to have an un-
easy feeling when Timothy Reardon re-
marked later that he also voted for Doran
two years ago and was still at it. Mr.. Rear
don looked toward the Fourth ward seats.
A Fifth warder made some remarks about
Mr. Doran's family relations, which aroused
the spirit Of 'Slunkey'' Norton, the chimney
sweep, and it looked for minute as though
the police would have more to do than to
keep the aisles clear of spectators. There
was suspicion that Mr.. Doran's chief need
was to be delivered from his fool friends
and the Castle men were raIIying when H. s.
Feirchtld seconded his nomination in a long
speech on the evils of concentrating people in
the cities.
There seemed to be lack of fire in all the
enorts, but finally Oar Reese arose, but one
day out of sick bed. and was called to the
platform. He carried long stick with which
he proceeded to stir up the animals. He inti-
mated that the gentleman who preceded him
wanted to get back the board of public
works, and suggested that it was time that
some ward beside the Seventh was recognized
in making nominations. Rev. Sam Smith in

unanimously. The second, also general in its
application went through likewise, but Mr..
Chamberlain stopped the market-library reso-
luton to show that he had been sincere, and it
was killed.
Finally came the gauge of the battle-the
temperance resolution. The sections on the
Democratic administration, gambling houses
and wine rooms, were adopted, with the
last clause about enforcing the saloon laws
eliminated. Then the last four words "regu-
lating the liquor traffic." were cut off that
and it was adopted with the clause torn out.
1t commits the party to the enforcement of
laws, Just as all properly sworn public Of
fcials are required to do.
The minor Offices were then filled before the
committee was ready to report on the Bryant
Zollman resolutions, and it was after G o'clock
when compromise report was brought in
which took all the wind out of the combina-
tion's sails. Hereafter the city executive COM

roasted the present Democratic administra-
tion to a standstiH. They went through with

other resolutions to change the plan of or
ganization, slap in the face at the Zollman-
