ward E. Grosscup. Instantly the con-
vention felt relieved, and before any
other trouble could be ANTICIPATED. the
rules Of the convention were suspended
and Mr.. Grosscup was nominated by ac-
clamation.
Ihiags were little more smooth in the
nomination of Surrogate. Candidate
lredeu named B. Frank Hires, of the

Hires was received with applause. Sew
efal Of the township seconded the nomi-
nation. John Ackley was most earnest
IN his seconding of the nomination of

taste to refer sneeringly to the Republi-
can candidate for Surrogate, who comes
from his town. The nomination of Mr..

listen to his declination.

vention to take recess so that the dele
gates could confer together and be able to
vote intelligent!y.
During the recess there was a good dea-
of button-holing and buzzing and the

nous, although Mr.. Tice made pledge
TO stand by the ticket. Tice appeared on
the platform wearing big Bryan button
over which he had flag. He said the
people that knew him most were his best
friends, and felt that had he been more
generally known in the Convention. he
would have received more votes, He
said he was formerly Republican, but
had changed when the Democrats had
taken up free silver.
he Convention could not find a'candi-
aa1e 1or Coroner. An effort was made to
force it upon DR.. Day, but he positively
refused. The roll was called for romina-
tlons three times, but no candidate was
the result. Among the many named who
declined We're DIR. S. T. Day, DIR. Samuel
