PROTECTION
FOR MERCHANTS
Law InvOkeJ in Behalf of Home
Dealers.
Why an Auc ion Sale of Paintings Has
Be Stopped.

Legitimate dealers and shopkeerers are
sratifcd at the steps taken to keep fake
enterprises out of tho city. The ny-by-
night dealers come into town, hire con-
vcnient stores and thcu announce their
cheap wares. AS the great Barnum said,
tho public likes TO bo bumbugged. ana the
glaring announce nent Of { r.fiy strangers
is like magnet to a large proportion Of
the citizens. They believ, that the goods
eau te purchased cheaper
in this wsy than from
the long established local dealers This
may be true In very isolated Instances
but for tho most part the trusting public
has to pay dear fer trash.
Then again the movement is no more
than decent protection to the sbopkeepcrs
who pay high rent along the city's main
arteries. They ara year in and year out
contributors to the general prosperity OF
the town, something the fakir can never
be. cousG quently the home dealer should
receive the consideration he is entitled to
from the city officials and the officers hav-
ing the control OF affairs in this respect
in hand. The legitimate city trades
people do not care to provoke trade by
hand organs or hrass bands. AS matter
of fact they cannot afford il, and pay
expenses that come as regularly as other
disagreeablc things
What they ask for and are entitled to is

mandamus James B Moriarity. the
secretary of the Democratic committed,
testified that he read the call for tho con-
yention and that Elisha ii. BucSlin had
called the convention TO order Delegates
from the First, Second and Fourth wards
had presented credentials, and no other
wards. and that the delegates from
those wards had nominated Isaac Gill
for Mayor.
James l.. jerks who appeared for City
Clerk Roberts, stated that In Ward Three
and Ward Five Robinson delegates had
been elected. and those delegates had
organized convention at the same time
and had seated contesting delegations of
the other three wards of the city. In q Q
other convention there were NJ delegates
from Ward Three or Ward Five. He
argued that 10 was impossible to decide
which convention was the legal one, md
hat the city clerk might put both names
upon the ticket.
The matter was discussed at some
length between counsel and tho court but
the latter was of the opinion that the
nominee of the convention which was
called to order by the officers of the city
committee was entitled to have his name
on ths ticket with the word Democratic
after it, and no one else. Each of the
three judges stated the court could not

THE WRIT GRANTED.
Claude j. Fsrnsworth In behalf of Mr..
Robinson filed demurrer the chief point
of which was that the proceeding was an
improper one as the writ should nave

and not by private citizon. The court
