In the second ward there was some
trouble with Alderman Border who was
a candidate for denomination, called the
convention to order as precinct chair
man and insisted upon presiding over
the meeting. Finally. however. the house
was so manitestly against his ruling that
he was compelled to vacate the chair
and c, c. Bromley presided. MIR Border
was nominated on the third ballot. On
the first ballo, he received "A. NJ! Casa.
day ~ and Mr. N. D. Mckenzie 10
Neither of the latter gentlemen were
present, while; the Border forces were
actively led by Mr. Border and his two
sons, Alderman Wilson and other Re.
publican invinoibles. Mayor Whiteley
occupied the Amen corner. Organized
labor was aggressive. l, had printe d
ticket. headed by Mr. Mckenzie for
alderman and Hon. Mark Fegan 70,
delegate. 1t had ticket in other wards
as we'll. Down in the fourth Alderman
Hubbard had everything his own way
receiving 50 odd votes to s. for T. C.
Johnson. 1t was love feast in the first
where there was not peep in opPosl
ton to Alderman Austin's denomination
The complexion of the delegation is
actually non partisan, although the vot
ing in most cases was extremely partisan
The Republicans have about half the
delegates and the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans the other.
There is no little dissatisfaction with
results in the third ward. About thirty
university students voted and Garwooc
appeared to be in full control of the
meeting. Delegates were chosen by q
committee, which is always question
able method. The labor organization
thinks it was treated unfairly. 1t wa:
moved, before voting for alderman, thai
the lowest name be dropped after the
first ballot. Autrey received 81. Gilbert
s8, Morris Labor 4S and Maxwell 6
Morris was announced as dropped, al
though MIR Maxwell had received the
lowest number OF votes. Marshal Knapp
made the mistake of accepting appoint
ment on the committee to select dele
gat es, but he says he appreciated thi:
fact after the appointment and so per
mitted his two associates to select the
names without any suggestion from him
