was called to order at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon, in the chamber of
the Second Branch of Council, by
Thomas M. Darrah, Chairman of the
County Executive Committee, and in
doing so named M. F. Tighe as tempo
rary chairman, and James W. Ewing
and j. Nice. Miller secretaries.
There was a very full attendance of
delegates, and quite a large lobby pres
ent, which included many Of the old
time local wheel horses. The chamber
had been very handsomely decorated
by Janitor Sam Sloan, in much the
same manner as at the previous Re-
publican convention, and the district
delegations were seated in this order,
commencing at the right of the chair:
Webster, Madison, Richie, Triadel-
phia, Union, Liberty, Richland, Centre,
Washington, and Clay on the extreme
left.
On taking the chair Mr.. Tighe ex-
pressed his appreciation of the compli-
ment conferred upon him, and at the
same time bespoke for himself the as
sistance of the delegates in the dis
charge of his duties. He reminded the
convention of the Importance of the
work devolving upon it, and of the
necessity of the most careful deliber-
alton in the selection of candidates.
He said the enemy was strongly en-
trenched in the offices within the gift
of the people, and it would require the
best candidates and the greatest and
most sustained efforts to GUST them
from power, but still he was convinced
it could be done, and with that convic-
ton in the minds of the party at large
victory could be achieved.
Mr.. Tighe then ordered the official
call for the convention read, and fell
lowed this by a suggestion that the
regular committees be appointed. The
reading of the list of delegates elected
took precedence over this, however, at
the suggestion of Mr. Robert Simpson.
In Liberty district there was tie vote
between Messrs. Corning and Curtis.
All the delegates but one answered to
| their names.
