Bisbee daily review., 1904-02-24

The Democrats of Bisbee, in the sev. eral wards assembled last evening for the purpose of nominating sixteen eel egates to be voted for at the approach ing Democratic primaries. The meet ings were held in pursuance to the call of the Democratic Central Committee. but the manner of selecting delegates adopted by the Third ward, was in pursuance of the wishes of majority of the delegates present. This was by nominating thirty-two names and placing them in a hat. from which were drawn sixteen. which were de- clared to be the nominees of the meet ing. Judging from the results in some of the other wards, this manner was entirely satisfactory.
 In the Second ward list of candi- dates were named. and the convention preceded to vote for the names. This was satisfactory. and the nominees were made as fast as the votes could be counted, and the meeting adjourn ed
 In the First ward, however, there was a prolonged discussion as to the nations were called for, and list of thirty-two nominees were made. As soon as the nominations were closed, it was moved by an admirer cf Harry Jennings, for City Marshal. that the first sixteen nominees on the list be the candidates to be voted for at the primaries The motion was second ed. and the question put tci the meet ing. The motion carried. by sixteen to ten. and ordinarily it would be sup rosed that this ended the matter. But not so The chairman of the ccnvenH tion, on protest of Jos. Chisholm, hetd that the instructions received from the Central Committee as to the manner of selecting delegates should be car ried out. It was decided by the chair that itwoul6, be necessary for the members of the convention to vote fer sixteen r,en out of the list of the oom7 inees. and the number receiving tie highest number of votes should te de- clared the nominees Of the convention. This ruling was violently opposed fy the followers of Jennings, who insist ed that their original moticn had been carried. and that the ruling of the chair was unfair All of this protest was without results, and ballots were prepared for voting. This cansed delay of more than an hour, but was finally put through. and sixteen nomi- nees who received the highest num- Der of votes were declared to be ihe nominees of the convention Just before the vote was taken, Maj. Bur: ton made a speech in opposition to the action being taken by the meeting, as a majority of those present had ce- creed otherwise but the chair refused to change his decision and the voting proceeded.
