 The first business disposed of was the acceptance of the resignation of the nomination for constable of John Leary, delegate from the fifth ward. There were some who dispute the right and power of tie convention to accept MT LeaEy's EesignationI at this stage of the convention, and after some debate it was decided that the resigna- tfon was in order. 1t was thereupon unanimously accepted and Thomas H. Pryor, who was dropped at the pre- yious meeting of the convention, was re-nominated, the secretary casting one ballot for him, by vote of the eonven- ton. Nominations for representatives were then in order and the following were named: John J. Brophy, William c. Kleinecke, Leonard Asheim and William E.

He spoke to some exten upon it. He feared such cours would annul some action of the part or town committee and it was deter mined then to rescind such of the rule as pertained only to the election 0 the registrar of voters. Thereupo action in that direction was immediate ly taken and MT Flanagan was agai nominated, and every man in the cor vention voted for him, excepting NJ Law1or from the fourth, who vote snon vult.''
