otte e. Chatfeld as the candidate for
senator and John Booth nominated
John Elliott for the same position. Al
derman Minor seconded the nomination
o. Mr.. Chatfleld. Dr.. Minor and Louis

and after the ballot had been taken 1t
was found that the total number Of
votes cast was 27. OF this number Mr..
Chatfield had Is and Mr.. Elliott had II.
Mr.. Chatfield was therefore declared
the candidate and on motion Of City
Attorney Webb the nomination was
made unanimous.
Mr.. Isbell arose and stated that
he thought that Mr.. Hall ought
to be given a chance TO explain his po-
sition. DR.. Minor stated that there vas
no question about the Tenth ward del
egation in this convention, and he
thought the explanation should be made
before the entire convention rather than
before the district convention only.
Mr.. Isbell thought that this was good
suggestion if he would be allowed to
speak, but as the Tenth ward delegates

ton he did not know that he would be
allowed to do So DR.. Minor stated
that he would be very glad to make a
motion that the Tenth ward delegates
be given chance to answer roll call,
and Mr.. Hall be allowed this privilege.
This was agreeable to Mr.. Isbell.
Mr.. Webb made a motion that the
chair appoint a committee Of two to
wait on Mr.. Chatfield and escort him
before the convention This motion was
carried and the chair appointed Mr.
Webb and Dr.. Elliott. Mr.. Chatfield on
being brought before the convention
was loudly applauded. He made a
short speech In which he thanked the
delegates for the honor which they had
conferred upon him. When he had fin
ished speaking Mr.. Isbell again took
the floor and stated that he thought
that as there was at the present time
no set rules governing senatorial eau
cuses in this city, proper action ought
to be taken for their provision. He
therefore moved that the chair appoint
one member from each ward to consti-
tute a committee to provide rules, and
that they act in conjunction with the
state committeeman from this district.
This motion was lost and a motion to
adjourn was carried.
In the other district caucuses the
nominations were all unanimous, and
but little time was consumed in making

district Lyman H. johnson was elected
chairman and Ambrose Beecter was
elected secretary. Eli Whitney was UNI
animously nominated as candidate for
senator and was given three cheers.
In the Tenth Senatorial caucus Louis
Ullman was elected chairman and d.
g. Carmichael, secretary. John Whit

amid much applause.
In tho Eleventh Senatorial caucus
Colonel Ullfnan was the chairman and
b. f. Hughes the secretary. Edward
]. Maroney was elected as the candi-
date for senator, and was heartily
cheered.
After the district conventions had adj
journed the town convention reconven-
ed. DR.. Minor moved that the list Of
delegates from the Tenth ward be CALI
ed so that the delegates from that ward
might answer TO their names and be-
come members Of the convention to
which they had been elected. and after
this proceeding that Captain Hall be
given the privilege OF the floor to make
his explanation. This was seconded by
Col. !. NJ. Ullman, and the motion was
carried. The secretary then proceeded
to call the names of the delegates from
the Tenth ward.
Mr.. Hall again tried to make state
ment before the names were read, and
as he was not allowed to by the chair
until the delegates from the Tenth had
answered to their names, they again |
refused to answer the roll CALL
The following gentlemen then made |
the reports for their respective dis
tricts: Eighth district, Judge Harrison;
