The foregoing is the list of nominations
made at the Silver Republican convention
last evening in accordance with the offices
The nomination for member of the school
board from the First ward was also allotted
to the Silver Republicans but a proposition
to name W. j. Washburn, the Republican
candidate, was contested, q motion prevail
ing that the matter be left to fusion com
mittee to be composed of the First ward del
egations to the three party conventions.
Subsequently, however, all objections were
withdrawn and Mr.. Washburn was in.
dorsed unanimously.
Chairman Hazard called the convention
to order promptly at 8oclock and the report
of the committee on platform was the first
thing in order. The report was submitted
and read, but after an extended discussion
in which it developed that q contest was on
hand, it was decided that action on it should
be deferred until the nominees of the DEM
ocratic and Populist conventions should be
completed.
The report of the fusion committee on the
manner of allotting nominations was re-
ceived and adopted, a motion subsequently
prevailing that nothing whatever should be
said or done as to the manner in which
fusion nominees shall distribute their pat
ronage, if they be successful. The conven-
These were all made by acclamation, Cap
tain o. j. Varley naming Lieutenant Win
ans, Nathan Cole naming Frank Walker,
Judge Schulz, Henry De Garmo and Mr..
Flint, Rev. S. w. Hawkins. Each candidate
was called before the convention in turn
and all made neat and appropriate speeches
of acceptance.
At one time, in the nomination OF city
treasurer, there seemed to be promise of q
contest, E. c. Kincaid placing the name of
ex-Alayor Henry I. Hazard before the con-
vention against Lieutenant Winans Mr..
Hazard was very much surprised and after
thanking the gentleman for his kindly in.
tentions, declined with thanks.
The most interesting proceeding of the
evening was that which took place in con-
nection with the nomination Of Rev. S. W.
make the race for member of the school
board from the Seventh ward. His name
was placed in nomination by Mr.. Flint, Sec
retary of the colored Silver Republican club,
and his action was supported with speeches
from R. F. Douglas, Mr.. Bynan, Mr.. Ross,
Mr.. Dulland and finally Judge Schulz. The
speech made by the latter created great en-
thusiasm, the opening sentence, This pic,
ture tonight shows that we are indeed old
Abe Lincoln Republicans" being received
with roof-shaking and long-continued ap-
plause. The closing remark, addressed to
the colored constituency, was equally inspir-
ing to the convention. Il want YOU" said
the judge, "to go among your brethren and
compare this scene with the position you
found yourselves in when you wanted to
march with those kid-gloved gentry from
merry cusses, or whatever
you call them"
The nomination of Rev. Hawkins was
made by acclamation and subsequently the
which every member participated.
