Such is the Clts' ticket, so far as 1t was filled
up last night 10y the Committee on Organization,
which met In Hardman's Hall. The candidates
that had been chosen by the bosses in the EXEC.
utiye Committee were put through In solid

put them in nomination. one speech seconded
the nomination.. and then before any one could
possibly put in a word edgewise Chairman
Charles Stewart Smith put the question and

eleven more guarded the entrance, and in the
gallery were nine lonely spectators. Inc rest OF
the public stayed away.
The members of the Executive Committee
were scattered judiciously about the floor in
order to lead the applause at the proper times.
On an aisle seat in front sat John Il. Pine, who.

time the Executive Committee and the name of
