it was just the opposite to what the

shock the chairman had reversed HIM
self and the roll was being called.

that the men whose seats We're con-
tested had voted and Chairman Dur
kin ruled against the united protest Of
the adherents of the slate to even mat
ters up by giving the men who entered

was these votes that adopted the re-
port: The result was as follows: In

lie called for the reading of the reso-
lutions again and told the delegates to

them. At this point Nicholas Behers,
of the Fifth ward, rushed forward and
engaged in a personal argument with
Mr.. Burke. While this was in progress
the resolutions were adopted. They
were as follows:
The Democrats of the city of Scranton,
i'm convention assembled, renew their al
legiance to the principles and platform of
the great Democratic convention held in
Chicago in 1896, which nominated for
less. courageous and brilliant statesman,
William Jennings Bryan.
Believing that the administration of
school affairs should be entrusted only to
honorable, liberal and pubic-spirited citi-
ticket nominated in this convention as
answering in all respects these impor-
tant requirements: and we most en-
phatically condemn the record of the Re-
publican party in it's control of the school
affairs of the city of Scranton as being
corrupt, extravagant, incompetent and a
prostitution of the educational interests
to private solfishness and party advance
ment. This long-continued abuse of
power has been a serious detrment to
our schools and sore and veXatious inn
position upon the taxpayers of the city.
We expressly and emphaticaly repud-
late the audacious and dastardly attempt
made to force upon the party ticket men
who have been not only treacherous to
have also made desperate and criminal
| attempt to assassinate the Democratic
party in the interest of Republicans.

Convention Opens.

T WAS announced that the
convention would begin at .
O'Clock, but it was half an
u hour later before City Chair
man George S. Horn appeared. The
Nlarge court room was crowded but
there was noticeable absence of
prominent Dem 1crats, only a few Of
them gracnG the occasion with their
presence. Republicans seemed to have
forgotten about the convention entire
ly. At 2.3O Mr.. Horn entered the court
room through one Of the rear doors
and went uDOn the judges bench He
was greeted by a hearty round of ap-
plause, and after he took his place on
the bench he called the secretaries of
the city convention, NJ. A. Mckinley
and r. j. Beamish, to take seats be-
side him. The delegates and sLecta-
tors We're in a frame Of mind that
presaged an exciting convention. They
were restless and bubbled over at the
slightest excuse.
While the chairman and secretaries
were consulting John j. Durkin, Of
the West Side, the anti-slate candi-
date for temporary chairman, walked
across the bar enclosure and was civ
en- an ovation. The delegates and 9TH
ers present evidently wanted a speech
and the Pand-clapping and stamping
of feet did not cease until Mr.. Durkin
said: Elect me chairman and then
I'll have something to say"
Immediately after this outbreak had
died out Mr.. Horn called the conyen-
tion to order and directed Secretary
Beamish to read the call. The next
business was the enumeratng of the
election district Of the city and receiv-
Inv OF credentials. When the fourth
district of the First ward was reached
Thomas Cullen presented credentials
and Patrick McNish challenged his
right to the seat. AS Mr.. McNish was
presenting his credentials John j.
FLYNN, of the Second ward, claimed
the attention of the convention.
"I am not a delegate" said Mr.
Flynn, "but i contend that Mr. Nc
Nish has no right to n seat in this CON
vention. for he is not a Democrat"
Mr.. McNish was standing in front
of the judges bench facing the con.
vention as this statement was made
His ire was visibly rising. He stood
for an instant his face flushing with
anger, and then pulling out his gold
watch he yelled:
"Ill bet this watch Of mine, and it's
worth $40, that I'm better Democrat
than Flynn and what's more the mar
who signed them credentials (referrine
TO Cullen's) is not a Democrat. Now
cover this IL you dare" he shouted
as he shook his watch defiantly in the
direction of Mr., Flynn, The challenge
was not accepted and Mr.. McNish took
his seat
The delegates were generous of theiT
applause and Kisses as the delegates
handed in their credentials. George
Tanning, of North Scranton, who is
known to fame for several reasons
was the first TO get the glad hand
