 substitute therefor which will insure 1 for each senatorial district the right to select the delegates apportioned it. The city convention was presided over
 by A. Mcclellan Mathewson, with Sher-

 l Mayor Studley, who was then intro duced by Chairman Mathewson, said in
 part:
 ! T have no fears of the third Tuesday
 of April for, whatever comes on that day, can take it easily. l ana proud
 to be a second time your nominee. l
 accept your nomination tonight, not as one asking vindcation, but leaving it
 to the people, as it must have been left
 to you.
 1 My endeavors have been in part to preserve the peace of the city and to
 satisfy the people that their money had
 been properly spent. It has also been
 my endeavor to give city work to our | own citizens instead of sending it
 abroad. I believe it is economy for the l city to give it's work to it's own arti-
 sans. They reside among us, and their
 work must be right, or their interests here would suffer.
 T cannot perhaps please all. I would
 not on the other hand, be one who
 never made mistake. It is but fair to
 us that the administration be taken as
 whole in the retrospect.
 T have, I know, displeased some of my own party friends, and this I re- gret. How nice, though, if all of us could sit down under the same bamboo
 tree and sing I like you and you like me-
 There are in this city many men, who are not in this convention, whose support will have, and I ask you, gen. tlemen, not to disappoint those who are not represented here tonight. l thank you for the honor which you do me-" ] Hearty Hip! Hip! Hoorahs!" follow ed the mayors speech of acceptance. 1 The chair then appointed Delegates Louis Ullman, w. H. Minor and Fred erick w. Orr as a committee to fill any possible vacancies in the ticket on the 1 day before election.
