of a candidate for county clerk. Chair
man Moyle yielded the gaveI to Madam
Vice Chairman Rhodes for the purpose
of making nominating speech. The
eloquent effort and the eliminating in
cidents proved to be the overshadow-
ing event up TO that hour during the
evening.
For several minutes nothing could be
heard but shouts of Dunbar" Dun
bar" When quiet was restored the
convention gave breathless attention to
Mr.. Moyle's magnificent speech. Every
period, however, was greeted with re-
sounding cheers for the favorite can

the Democratic party.
INNOVATION FOR DUNBAR
In a clear, distinct tone his every
word and gesture fitting the momen-
tous event, Mr.. Moyle said: Il now
have pleasant duty to perform, al
though 1 have been approached by
friends of the opposition TO see if 1
would not be untrue TO my pledge to
the candidate / anu pleased to nomin-
ate. CHEERS for Dunbar) At the
eleventh hour the enemy of Democracy
Qong and loud cheers and shouts of
Dunbar, 'Dunbar.O commenced to
search the woods for a man to defeat
that noble champion of Democracy
Columbian" Dunbar" was the cheer
again and again.) Their eIeventh-hour
candidate is a friend of mine, and 1 re-
greet his course.
THE ELOQUENT MOYLE.
''Chief of Police Pratt" declared Mr..
Moyle, has been in the lobby, and he
has also had men on the floor of this
convention laboring to defeat Mr. Dun
bar because of his championing the
cause of Democracy. (Hisses for Pratt
and cheers for Dunbar) Mr.. Dunbar
is TO be loved for the enemies he has
made in unfolding and advancing De-
banner. If any man, for his
fidelity to party principles and eff
cient and satisfactory public service,
deserves the nomination of county clerk
from this convention, that man is Da-
vid c. Dunbar To defeat him would
be trucking to the party's enemy, the
nOn-partisans, the Republicans and the
Tribune. To refuse to again honor him
would be base ingratitude. He deserves
to be nominated by acclamation.'
CHEERS AGAIN FOR DUNBAR.
The convention was stampeded for
Mr.. Dunbar, and three rousing cheers
were given the hero.
Gilbert Mclean moved to make the
nomination of David c. Dunbar unani-
nous by reclamation.
MIR. PYPER EXPLAINS.
Before the motion was put George d.
Piper was accorded the privilege of the
floor. Mr.. Piper said:
1t is not my intention to speak; ex-
peeted others would do the talking for
me. I came here as a Democrat. But
certain charges have been made
against me and my friends which are
not true (Which are true" interrupted
Mr.. Moyle in laundering tones.) Il am
1 Democrat" continued Mr.. Piper. ''for |
principles sake, and not for reward of
office. Once 1 became candidate for
a city office when there was no show
IF election. I made the race then to |
help the party.
THE NON-PARTI- |
SANS.
'I consented" he said. 'to run for |
he nomination of county clerk as a |
Democrat. For the first time / hear |
hat I am being pushed and aided by |
ION partisans and Republicans I hope |
he convention will give me the benefit |
# the doubt I know some of my |
friends who have been working in my |
1ehalf will feel chagrined. But I want |
you to know I am Democrat and /
lave always been such within the party /
ines. I don't propose to rest under the |

nan, a true Democrat. This is the |
'eason I have expressed myself as I |
lave. ] therefore move that Mr.. Dun

notion has not already been made, and |
so I wish to second such notion
MR.. MOYLE'S AUTHORITY.
Mr. Moyle: TT was on the strength
# Judge lie Grand Youngs word, and
10 one will doubt him, that I charged |
outside influences were at work to ac-
onfpiish Mr.. Dunbar's defeat"
WANTS THEM SMOKED OUT.
AS a friend of Mr.. Dunbar, Judge
'immony hoped the motion TO make

nation would not prevail. He wanted
he non-partisans and the Republicans
moked out and their identity made
nown.
