THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

son for the Bench and ]. C.
Bunner for Surveyor.

DaA ISainSy convention drew cr0WQ
last night big enough to fill Odd Fellows
Hall to the doors. The galleries were
largely filed with curious Buckleyites.
The Democratic politicians expected to
enjoy something lively, but nothing fierce
occurred. The anti-Raineyites having Sc
cured the nomination for Mayor, will not
interfere with Rainey and Lanigan getting
what they want out of the rest of the
ticket and they will swallow it and say
nothing.
A copy of the new charter was
on every seat when the doors opened,
but a majority of the "push
scorned the copies. Chairman Ragan
started out with an evident intention to
hold the convention down to order, and as
nothing occurred to ruffie the temper OF
the Rainey majority the convention was
disorderly only in free and easy way.
The convention assembled late and ac-
complished little. The legislative ticket
was approved with one exception after an
hours consideration. The exception was
in the Thirty-seventh District, where
Harry 1. MuIcreevy proposes to hang on to
the nomination by the Buckleyites OF the
district which he has also received.
The convention decided to have no COM
mittees TO report ticke IS for the judiciary
Board of Supervisors or Board of Educa-
ton, and when the judicial nominations
were taken up the convention went as far
as the Superior Judges and adjourned
after nominating Frank n. Dunno, Frank
J. Murasky. a. A. Sanderson and Rhodes
Borden.
The delay in starting the proceedings
resulted from the inability of the commit
tee on platform and resolutions to agree
on the committee plan referred to it and
IT was P. NJ. when Chairman Ragan
called the impatient assem- blage to order.
Secretary Saulman began calling for re-
ports when Eugene n. Deuprey pumped
an innovation into Democratic conven-
ton methods. He wanted it told who the
Legislative candidates were and suggested
that the chairman of the discrict delega-
tions be called to the platform to give the
desired information. Mr.. Deuprey didn't
anticipate that he was springing circus
on the crowd.
The chairman ordered the process with
out taking a vote and called the chairman
of the Twenty-eighth District delegation
to come to the platform. P. d. Mullaney
responded and the circus began with the
great big guffaw that rose, mingled with
shoutings Of funny things.
'Mr. Lacy was born and raised in our
district. He has been employed iD Wells
Fargos and he's about 25 years of age''
was the Identification finally given.
a delegate wanted to expedite matters
by quitting the operation, but Mr.. Deu-
prey declared, "We are expected to act
like intellectual beings and not like lot
of cattle" and the process continued.
The information about John Allen of
the Twenty-ninth, given by Mr.. Brannan
amid the loll1ty, was simply that Mr..
Allen had lived in the district several
years and would carry it.
P. ]. Farrell of the Thirtleth said that
Eugene j. Harmon was assistant superin-
uendent of the Youths Directory.
Chairman Ginty of the Thirty-first was
greeted with revel of cheering and JOSH
ing.
Some time later the chairman an
nounced that James P. Brady was a young
architect.
They had lot more fun with Mr..
Grady of the Thirty-second. w. H. Nc
Ivor of the Thirty-sixth was asked by
Osgood Putnam if Henry McGrath had
not been nominated by another So
called Democratic convention, and Mr.
McIvor explained that he had, but had
resigned.
Thomas ]. Burke, chairman of the dis
trict, said that Harry Mucreevy was the
only Democrat in the district who could
carry il. He is in the Recorders office,
end Mr.. Burke was sorry to say that he
was on the Buckley ticket.
This started another kick about the in
dorsement of Bdckleyites, and Thomas F.
Barry moved that the report of the Thirty
seventh be referred back to the district
motion was carried.
Charles s. Peery of the Thirty-eighth
was identified IS young attorney, and ].
S. Wardell of the Thirty-ninth as a news
paper man
Healey Davis told that Frank A. Schmitz
of the Forty-frst was a foreman in a
plating works, native son and one of the
