Judge Glenn HonOred.
Nominations for the position Of city
treasurer were called for. Judge Wyatt
arose and SAID: There are no candidates
for this position. We have in this city
an old man, a venerable man, who is
now lingering with disease at the ripe
old age of four-score years. We have
seen him on the streets for years. His
integrity is recognized everywhere, and
his honesty is unquestioned. He has all
that is true in MANHOOD, and the citi
zens of the city admire him. 1t seems to
me that since we have no candidate for
this Office, a slight token from this con
vention would be appreciated by Judge
Glenn in his illness and old age. 1t
would only be a small thing for US to
allow this nomination to go by. and
therefore, gentlemen of the convention,
I move you that the nomination of
man for city treasurer be passed by this
convention"
Judge Myatt motion met with a num-
Der of seconds. and when put to vote
it was carried unanimously.
