 It was one of the largest, most en- thusiastic and unanimous meetings Of the kind ever held in Waterbury, and the audience, which included many re publicans, cheered the different can didates as their names were men- toned with such vehemence that the republicans, who were holding a ses- sion in the aldermanic chamber, must have become alarmed. for they turned out the newspaper men, locked the door and placed guard outside and another on the inside. 1t was an open meeting and the representatives of all the papers. instead of being, hustled into the lobby. were provided with seats and given every opportunf- tE to tell their req 6iers everything that happened. The delegates looked every body squarely in the face. acted ms if they courted publicity. and when they said anything they did it in a way which showed that it came fromsthe heart
 John J. Brophv. chairman of the democratic town committee. called the meeting to order at S:30 o'clock, read fhe call and then said that the next. business in order was the selection of a permanent chairman. Timothy Fl. Earren of the second ward was elected chairman and William Bowe of the fifth ward was chosen clerk The fol- lowing were appointed a committee on credentials: Thomas Flanagan, Tim Othy Brennan Frank F. Sheridan, James " Dawson and Michael. F. Cess. one from each ward. The com mittee reported all the delegates pres ent except William Black of the Sec ond ward. and AS the alternate was not on hand. the district was one. man short. The report was accepted and then Chairman garren called for nom nations for ma Yer Thomas LlInny E of the Ghird ward mentioned the ffa fnas of James af Lynch. and half dozen other delegates seconded the nomina- ton at the same time The roll was called and every man voted for Nfr Lynch and he was declared the choice of the convention amid a tt1n11It of ap- plause that made the big chandelier overhead execute.a war dance. A sim liar exhibition was given when non1-s irlations were in order for city clerk, and three or four fellows vied with each other to see which would be first 10 mention the name of Michael !. Ryan. who got all the votes and a sendoff that must have made him feel about two feet taller than ever before. The same enthusiasm prevailed when NJ. D. Russell was trotted out for comptroller. Henry w Minor for col-s lector of taxes. John w. Mcdonald for city sheriff John Healey and William F. Bowe for members of the board of relief. and James E.. Russell for agent of the Bronson library fund, each re- ceiving the un animous vote of the con- yention, and the chair having ia hard time to make himself heard above the tumult Of applause that greeted the re suit There was slight break when nominations were called for city treas urer, and two candidates were named, Edelbert Reichenbach and George A. Gibson, the last named the present in- cumbent of that office. Delegate. Me S<7 not aware that MT Gibson desired to have his name come before the conven- ton but Timothy F. Brennan of the second ward. who had nominated him, said he wanted to vote for him, and IT. M Rigney remarked that if Mir Gfb- son was averse to having his name mentioned in the convention he thought he would have said so to the delegates from his own ward. This was a plain declaration that the second ward meant to stand for Gibson and when the roll was called the result showed twenty-three votes for Reichenbach and four for Gibson. Mir Reichenbach was declared the choice of the conven ton. and then on motion of James J. Bahan of, the second district the nom dnation of NIT R.eiehenbach was made unanimous.
 As soon as the work of making up Che ticket was over the committee on credentials were named as a delegation to wait upon the candidates and nsher them into the meeting room. It dian [ take the committee long to round them up and when they entered followed by the candidates the audience almost went wild Every man jumped to bis feet and shouted lustily and kept at 1t for several minutes.
 ATr Lynch was the first speaker. He thanked the delegates and all present for the magnificent demonstration 2 corded him and the rest of the candi- dates. accepted the nomination and said that he had no doubt regarding his election. He felt confident that the people would stand by him and that two years hence he would be able to corfe before his party's delegates to ask the nomiation perhaps for some hodv else and say that he had done
