w. Mills also appeared as a committee Of
one from the Silver Republican convention
and reported their nominations.
A motion was made to discontinue the
the nominations made BY the other party

der and the convention was resolved into
ward conventions for the purpose of filing
the places assigned to the Peoples party.
On reassembling, in convention of the

then taken up and the action of the ward
conventions was indorsed, save in the case
of the Eighth ward. Louis Anton Mesmer
had been the ward nominee, but on motion
this nomination was rejected as violation
of the fusion agreement, and Todd's nomi-

into ward delegations for the purpose of
nominating councilmen and members of the
board of education. The motion pre-
vailed and nominations for tax collector
were called for. None being Forthcoming,
the convention, on motion, proceeded with
nominations for auditor, and Milton Carl
son mounted the stand, paid his So, and
placed in nomination for auditor G. j.

McGlynlr seeel fedstt,le nomination of Mr..
Dahl Al,e Riley also Seconded the noIni-
nation of Mr. Dahl, vouching for his ability
and integrity. Mr.. Moore, too, spoke in
favor of Mr.. Dahl.
Mr.. Pickering mounted the stand, just as
the convention was on the point of electing
Mr.. Dahl by acclamation, and put
George Harlan of the Fourth ward in nomi-
nation for the Office of auditor

teacher, and had held various positions of
trust His principal desire was for party
success, and he was willing to work for his
opponent if it should be deemed more
feasible to nominate Mr.. Dahl than to put
him on the ticket. His remarks were ap-
plauded.
c. J. Dahl thanked the convention for
the honor of nomination. He stood
ready to serve the party if the majority of
the delegates should so determine
Mr. 1arlans name was withdrawn at his
request. with the understanding that his
name should be presented for tax collector.
The secretary was instructed to cast the
vote of the convention for Mr. Dahl, who
was thereupon elected as the party's candi
date for auditor.
Mr. Pickering thereupon again presented
the name of Mr.. Harlan and a secondng
speech was made by Mr. McGlynn and the
secretary cast the vote of the convention for
George Harlan for tax collector, who was
declared regularly placed upon the ticket.
s. f., Fulton, who had Just returned from
his embassy TO the Democratic and Silver
Republican conventions, made brief report
and he was again sent to report the nom-
nation of Messrs. Dahl and Harlan as the
party's nominees for auditor and tax col
lector.
