affairs. 1t is really pathetic to see
sensible, conservative business men
like Barnes and Napier trying to har-
monize with the agitators of the Ken
drick stripe when they are as far apart
as the two poles. "A house divided
against itself is the Grizzly party
and the conservatives have "A hard
fight trying to lenycn the Kendrick

Tine platform contained three issues.
Grizzly creek as main issue. the

between Keudrick and the chair WAS
the speciality and was presented ON
the install llmeut plan, lasting through
out the entire evening. Troublous
Tom accused Napier of defeating the
ticket last spring and being in line to
repeat the performance next month.
while Napier retorted tnat nobody
paid any attention to Kendrick as he
uad to blow Oft steam on stated occa-
81 ms; that hr always felt better for
two or three days afterwards and no
one was harmed by the explosions.
The motion to proceed with the
nominations brought forth more dis
cussion, agitator versus advocator,
but Z. b. Everett was finally named
for mayor. Not being present his
acceptance was uncertain and as even
the air seemed to breathe of uncer
tainty, the wise wanted to end the
farce by adjourning until some svs-
tematic plans could be adopted, but
Bat Lynch came to the front and
made "A stirring talk which was Wig
orously appauded, and another at,
tempt was made to bring order ont of
chaos, an attempt as futile as the

Ernest Barlow delivered some good
sound advice to the assembly and the
chair made another strong appeal

on the table and nominations for
councilmen became the rage. c. ID.
Barnes was nominated and while Mr.
Barnes said he did not wish to shirk
any duty, protested against his can

said he wouldn' be here probably to
attend the council meetings this sum

to the effect that it wouldn't do to

He thereby made his escape and then
they half nominated Cal Mex issack
but didn finish the job and Cal said

for anything he cared.
The shock was too much fol the
tattered nerves of the conventioners
and Ernest Barlow came to the rescue
with motion to adjourn to Saturday
night which was carried after being
amended to empower the chair to in
crease the platform committee and
| instruct same to select candidate and
fill vacancies.
Here the chairman deviated from
the straight and narrow path of parli-
amentary tactics and read a resolu-
tion commencing Mayor Dougan for
his course of action during these
strenuous times He wanted to get
the resolution before the house before
the crowd dwindled down tosnothing,
and Mr.. Kendrick took advantage of
the precedent established by sandwich

had offered free page to each party.

better and say we don't intend to
charge the ticket cent for this
space, not even for the composition.
And then the motion made some
minutes previous was taken up and
passed and the crowd broke away.
