mediately arose a storm of protest from
the Donahue faction. Several rose and
John C.. Canning OF the Second ward was
recognized.
Mr. Cannon said he thought the proper
way to proceed was 10 take the senator
FIRST and each ward name their man for
representative as the delegates were sent
from their various wards for that pur-
pose. This method of springing a whole
ticket at once was liable 10 confuse the
delegates and he asked that In fairness 10
all the delegation the old way OF nominal.
ing be adhered 10. The chairman ruled
that a motion was before the meeting
and that counter nominations would be
entertained II any were TO be made.
WAS UNDEMoCRATIC.
Mr.. Dwyer said that the delegation
from the First ward came TO nominate a
man and said the man they had last year
was all right and that the ward wants
him again He did not need 70 be watched
He wns all right and the party leaders
will say so.
Mr.. John f. Canning os the Second

the usual custom to have the ticket taken
ND in detail not as n whole and said it
was not fair 10 take up such a scheme Al
Mr.. Dorney tried 10 works
II this scheme works Il will be undem-
ocratic and unfair and will work harm TO
the party at the election.
He said further that 20 present ticket

cedent what was its purpose he said7
We have a candidate from the Second
ward that we want 10 oppose Mr.. O'Con-
nor
MIR Powers Of the Fire, ward wanted n
few words and said that n they put w
such men as sullivan they would surely
lose when election day came lie was IN IA
vor OF the regular slate he said.
Mr. Frank Donnelly OF the Second ward

fnation OF the entire ticket be laid on the
table and Mr.. Canning seconded &C. 4
roll call was taken and II resulted in a
tie
The chairman ruled that the motion
