upon Justice Murphy appeared with the
candidate on the stage the applause was
tumultuous. When tie candidate stepped
to the front of the platform delegates and
spectators rose from their seats and fran
tically waved their hats and handker-
chiefs. Justice Murphy made a very
neat and appropriate speech. What he
said was evidently relished as shown by
applause of the representatives of con-
stituencies present. His closing remark,
81 am proud of the fact that | am an
American citizen" was followed by
tumultuous outburst of applause.
John Wahl Queen presided. He made
very neat and eloquent speech.
There was no opposition to the nomi-
nation of P. Anthony Brock, as President
Of the Board of Aldermen. Mr.. Brock
Was cordially received, and he made an
eloquent and laudatory speech in defense
The part that Democrats in various muni-
cipal departments under the present ad-
ministration have played. He reviewed
the fight made against the present Street
and Water Board, and the fiasco of the
present law department in handling the
famous effort of Allan McDermott to re-
deem for the city the foot of Thirteenth
street. His structures on the Pagan Tax
Board in favoring friends and slapping
screws on the enemies of his administra-
tion were severe and keen.
Anthony Hauck and James S. Nolan
were renominated as Street and Water
Commissioners without opposition. Mr..
Hauck, who a few months ago loomed
up as formidable opponent of Police
Justice Murphy for the Mayoralty can
didate, paid a graceful tribute to his
friend and neighbor" James ]. Murphy,
the successful Mayoralty candidate, and
promised to do everything in his power to
further the election. Mr.. Hauck's was
one of the most striking and inspiring
figures on the platform, which was filed
with distinguished citizens in all lines
business, professional and political.
Probably next to the ovation accorded
Police Justice Murphy was tat accord
ed to James S. Nolan, who will be Com
missioner Hauck's running mate for the
Street and Water Board. He has done
much for the Hudson City section and
the delegates from that section were
joined with those of other sections in ap-
plauding the remarks in which he de-
Tended the Democratic Street and Water
Board, which Mr.. Fagan wished to take
from the hands of the people to whom
their representatives were responsible,
and make it creature of his own-in
other words, an appointive Board.
Throughout the convention was har-
monious and enthusiastic-one of the
finest, Democratic or Republican, that
has ever been held in this city.
The committee appointed to formally
notify Police Justice Murphy of his nom
ination consists of Patrick J.. Colohan,
T. J. Carroll, Louis L. Fink, Alexander
Hamil, Jr., H. O. Wittpen, Patrick Nc
Govern, Peter Ehrhardt, William Max
on, John ]. Wheelihan, H. J. McDevitt
and Thomas Feeney.
Justice Murphy jim his speech an
nounced that he would further discuss
the issues of the campaign and let every
body know exactly where he stands upon
every question at issue in his letter ac-
cepting the nomination.
Mark Sullivan, an ardent young
Tracyite, announced the act that Mr..
Davis had been called to his mothers
bedside. He took occasion to announce
from the platform that although he got
out and fought hard hr Mr.. Treacy's
nomination, he would fight just as hard
for the nominee of the convention, who
ever he might be, an depressed the
belief that those who fought with him
for Treacy's nomination would do the
same.
Mr. Sullivan is bright young lawyer
and he created very favorable impress
