The Slate Went Through With
Expedition, Harmony and
Satisfaction.
TEN DOLLARS IS IMPERATIVE
On Monday Night the Convention Will
Gamble On the Supreme Court
Reversing Itself.

The Rainev Democratic municipal con-
vention held another session in Odd Fell
lows Hall last night during which JUS
tices of the Peace and Police Judges were
nominated and three un1mportant resolu-
tions passed. According to the Rainey-
Lanigan programme the convention ad-
journed until next Monday evening
after deciding to nominate full munich
pal ticket in view of the remote pos
sibility that the Supreme Court may re-
verse itself regarding the four year term
on Garret McEnerney's motion for re-
hearing in the county government case.
The convention TINS has before it not
only the nominations for Superintendent
OF Schools, School Directors and Super
visors, but for the offices which the Su-
preme Court decided were to be filled only
every four years.
These nominations create new interest
In the convention, and the anarchist
combination is being revived. The nomi-
nation for the county clerkship appears
to be the leading fight, and John F. Nc
Govern, the Thlrd-street merchant and
secretary of the General Committee, is
again at the front with the prospect of
getting the nomination, which depends
for its value On the hazard OF McEnerney's
petition.
The convention was called to order late
by Chairman Ragan. The attendance was
smaller than usual and the proceedings
constituted noisy but good-natured and
smooth pulling through of the slate.
Attorney Joseph E. O'Donnell, whose
voice had already so often been heard in
the convention as a representative of the
Rainey- -Lanigan power, became a regular
judge-makeI.
He has been NIGHTLY interested in the
judicial slate from the start, and at the
preceding session had nominated Frank
J. Murasky for Superior Judge-he whom
the Buckleyites are about to kick off their
ticket Tor letting the thing occur. Mr..
O'Donnell at the former session also Sec
onded another nomination, and last night
| he nominated Justice of the Peace and
then Police Judge.
The nominations made were as follows :
Police Judges-C. G. Conlon. George A.
Proctor, }. A. Spinnetti, Stephen r.
O'Keefe.
Justices OF the Peace-John ]. Kennedy,
John A. Carroll. William T. Hess, Michael
O'Gara, Sands Forman.
At P. M. the convention came to order
and Secretary. Saulman read a report from
the committee on resolutions reporting
ldNOraOly Tue RESOLUTIONS referred at the
last session providing respectively that
the chairman of the convention, the COM
mittee on platform and the general COM
mlttee of the party be a committee to
look after the observance of the platform
by nominees, if elected in favor of paving
| the municipal debt and in favor of the
passage of pure primary law by the next
Legislature. The report was adopted in
perfunctory way.
further resolution submitted by the
committee on resolutions recommended
that nominations for a full municipal
ticket be made in view of the possibility
of the Supreme Court granting rehear-
ing in the county government case involv-
ing the length of terms of municipal
officers. This resolution enumerated the
offices to which the Supreme Court award

istrator and City and County ATTORNEY.
On motion, consideration of the resolu-
ton was postponed "until next Monday
evening" which was in effect, resolution
to hold future session on that day.
The chairman took up the course of
nominations by announcing that nomina-
tions for Police Judge were in order The
slate at once went through smoothly.
Eugene N. Deuprey took the platform
and Ill few nice words nominated Police
Judge Charles G. Conlan, whereat the bows
cheered again and again. Once again was
