following order: Council, assembly.
 supervisors, sheriff, district attorney,
 treasurer, recorder, probate judge, and school superintendent.
 l When the nominations of candidates
 for the council Ewere declared in
 order T. G. Norris, threw beautiful
 and highly perfumed bouquet at the
 convention, congratulating the mem
 bers on their intelligence, and the
 superior qualities possessed by them,
 closing a very nicely worded per
 oration by placing the name of R. N.
 Looney before the convention Den
 his A. Burke and M. G. Burns were
 also placed in nomination, but Norris
 talk captured the convention, the
 vote resulting in Looney's nomination
 by the following vote: Looney, "A;
 Burns, 36: Burke 26.
 For the assembly eight names were
 placed before the convention: Captain
 W. H. Meeks M. A. Perkins Homer R.
 Wood, T. c. Malloy, P. $. Wren, W. s. Adams Max Alwens, and l.. R. Bar row. MaIloy withdrew before the bal loting commenced, and the vote re- suited as follows:
 Meeks, 79; Perkins, 79; Wood 75; Adams, AS; Wren, AT; Barrow, 2S; Alwens 16. ~
 Prior to taking the vote for the council, P. s. Wren threw a bomb shell into the convention in the way of motion that voting be viva voce that when a delegates name was an- nounced he should arise and express hls choice so that all might know for whom he voted, instead of the secret ballot. Running and buzzing could be heard on all sides, and when vote was taken very few feeble "ayes" were heard, followed by a veritable cyclone of "noes."
 When the vote had been completed and the tellers had dumped the ballots on the table to count them prior to announcing and tallying them, MT. Wren thought they were tallying them secretly as we'll as having voted them in that manner, and made a vigorous protest, bat on being informed of the true condition of affairs he was recon ciIed.
 After nominating the three assem- bIy candidates the convention took a recess until o'clock.
 The first business of the evening ses- sion was the nomination of the super visors the following names being pre- sented to the convention: John H. Lee, Fred Sattes, A. A. Johns, Fred Stephens and George Schur-man. The first ballot resulted in the nomi- nation of Fred Stephens the vote as follows, Stephens, 103, Sattes, 68; Johns 63; Lee 21, Schuer- man, 14.
 Up to the announcement of this bal lot the convention had been running as smoothly as though greased for the occasion, but in announcing the vote the chairman made a miscalculation which caused pantomime to reign for about forty five minutes.
 One hundred and thirty eight votes were cast a majority of which would be seventy. The chairman in an bouncing the result declared Stephens md Sattes to have a majority of votes cast and accordingly were the nomi- lees of the convention.
 A delegate arose meekly and sug- ;ested that the chairman had made a in computing his when the chairman in a very emphatic manner announced that he lad already declared the result and hat it should stand.
 This was a starter of one of the orettiest though harmless scraps that l convention could produce. A lozen members were on their feet one time all wildly addressing the chairman at the same time and for \ he next three quarters of an hour he widest confusion prevailed, the chairman being unwilling to recede rom his ruling. After a very tormy period the delega9es quieted Town and motion to proceed with mother ballot was entertained and I arried, the ballot resulting in Sl otes for Sattes and 59 for Johns.
