 The report of the resolution com mittee reaffrming the national plat form, expressed a pride in the achieve
 nsnts of the republican party, the party of progress and prosperity. The nominees were pledged to an econ0n- ical administration of city affairs. Annex&si sicn Of the additions was favored with a proper representation and pledge that they should be granted protection. The improvement and extension of the fire department was recommended and all municipal improvements within the limit of req sonable expenditure were advocated. The report recommended readjust- ment of taxation Wher"n" @hn Dncden upon improvements sk'3uid be light ened and that upon unimproved prop arty held for speculation should be in creased. Monthly statements by city officials and good and sufficient bonds were insisted upon.
 The reports of the committees hay ing bean adopted, the temporary or ganization was made permanent, r. K. Hickey appointed assistant secre- tary, and the manufacture of the ticket was begun. Thomas E. F1annlgan nom mated J. D. Monihon for Mayor. F.. H. Stanton seconded the nomination and preeipitated a disturbance by nov ing that nominations be closed. Del egate J. A Johnson of the Fourth ward arose. He said he had taken the floor to nominate another candidate, but h. prefaced his nomination by eX- coriating MT Monihon, whom he indl- rectly described as a hOOdlum He touched up his nOminator and his second, after which he named MT. John Y. T. Smith. There were fOrty-three votes cast on the first ballot. By an error in the count of two half votes there appeared to be forty-four, of which Smith received 19, Monihon v. Hickey ?, Dufffeld 1. There being no majority of the votes in the cOnven- tion a new ballot was ordered and a storm arose. The chair was over whelmed with applications for infer nation. mostly mathematical in quiries There were motions, substi- tutes and points of order. The chair ruled that majority meant a major ity and an appeal was taken. 'rhe chair was sustained amid much con- fusion and a part of the delegation arose and wanted the appeal put before the house in another shape. The only man on the floor who seemed to have a clear understanding Of his parlia- mentary position was Robert Hudson.
 The second ballot proceeded and re- suited as follows: Smith, 19; MOni- hon, 24. MT. Monihon was declared the nominee.
 Thomas J. Prescott, c. s. Scott and l. N. BsIl were nominated for as sessor and tax collector. It took three ballots to decide the contest. They resulted as follows:
 seoond-Prescott, 20; Scott, 19; Bell, s
 Third-Preecott, p; Scott, IS; Bell, 3.
 Before this contest a rule was estab- lished that a majority should mean a majority Of all votes cast. Mir. Pres cctt was therefore declared the nomi- nee.
 When the nominations for recorder were announced 10 br ip order there was laugh. It was regarded as a joke that any ether nomination than that of Tom JlCbs might be considered But he was put in nomination for forms sake and the whole house, au- dlence, democrats and all joined in making it unanimous.
 There were three candidates for city | marshal, Thomas D. Molloy, William 1 Widmer and Al Hawley Three bal | iCts were required to settle it. They ended as follows: l
 F'irat-Moloy, 21; Widmer, Il; HafM- l ley, IL
 Seeond-- Molloy, q; Widmsr, 12; Hawley, 10.
 Third Molloy, 25; widmer, II; Hawley, '.
 l. M. Christy was renominated for treasurer with enthusiastic acclaim.
 The candidates were called upon fer speeches MT. Jobs made a happy ad- dress and incidentally many votes MT Molioy pledged that in the event of. his election to the office of marshal he ana no other person would be marshal MeSsfs. Christy and Prescott thanked the convention, and Mr. Monihon out- Ilnad his future career as mayor He would favor the municipal oWners;lir or a first-class sewerage system. the railroad perhaps the street railroad the telephones, the water works and Tn fact, the whole works.
