Before the result fof the vote was announced a couple Iof delegates changed their votes from IC. Garrity to Thomas O'Gorman, thus lgiving the place to O'Gorman MT Hoppe's friends didn't like this, but the chair stated that this was privi- lege that belonged to them and If they chose to exercise it, there was no reason to find fault over It. 'TDe meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the chair.
 John J. .McDonald, Edward B. Kelley jr, Acly w. Castle and Wal ter E. Monagan were nominated as democratic candidates for the board of education at the school convention lheld at headquarters last evening. The large crowd that tried to enter the room where the delegates con- vened showed that there was much interest taken in the contests for the Educational board. Although the friends of the other candidates in the field stood by their guns for while, before the convention adjourned the nominations were made unanimous and the best of feeling prevailed. It Twas almost 8:45 before Chairman J. H. Freney of the town committee lcalled the meeting to order. Thomas Coyle was appointed chairman of the Imeeting and Thomas Dillane secre- tary. Next followed a committee on credentials, made up of one man from each ward. A recess was then taken after which the convention proceeded nv, Arcf ho11nt Inh n J.

Acly Castle was selected as third choice by vote of 24 to 8, Isadore Chase getting the small number. The fourth choice was Walter B. Monagan, who receiv- ed 23 out of the 27 cast. Dr Hayes got the others. After the ticket was made up the candidates with the ex- ception of MT Kelley, who could not be located, were brought before the delegates and made addresses. J. J. Mcdonald stated that he would be out working for the ticket as he never worked before on election day and was gratified to think that the delegates had decided to send him back to the board of education. He is confident that the democratic school board will be elected and says E there is little doubt as to what the result will be on October 2. The re- marks of Messrs Castle and Monagan E were brief but to the point and made good impression with the delegates 4 seJohn J. Brophy, who made a speech before the convention in favor oi sDr Hayes, urging the delegates to hgive the fifth ward two representa- tives, said after the convention that the vote that will be boiled for the school ticket will be surprising. "l stuck to my choice while there was chance, but as l told the convention after the nominations were made, we will get out now and poll vote in the fifth that was never boiled before The school ticket of the democratic party is considered very strong and is more than likely to be elected
 J.J. Mcdonald needs no introduc' tion as he has had much experience ! on the school board. He is well liked among the republicans as we'll as ir his own party and will without doubt go in with flying colors. Edward B Kelley, son of ex-Superinrendent ol Streets Kelley, is a rising young at torney, as is Walter E. Monogan Both are widely known and are surt to be good vote getters. A. w. Castle who has been a member of the board of charities, is one of the strongest board. It is ticket which will look board. Itis a ticket which will lool after the interests of the schools o
 the city as they should be looked af ter and the voters need not
