nominations for permanent chairman
were in order, and as no name was
presented by the convention he APP
opinted Tyler Parmly, who in accept
ing said:
"I do not want to say, fellow Demo-
Gratis, that for the first time in years
the spirit of unity that pervades
the entire party in city, county and
State, II 1t continues, will give the
party an old-time majority such as
we used to have in the days of Joel
Parker. But remember one thing; to
gain success we must achieve success.
You must nominate tonight a candi-
date for the office of street and water
commissioner. Only the best men in
the party must receive your nomina-
ton"
A recess of fifteen minutes was taken

The report of the committee con-
tanned only one new feature. That
was to make all votes formal, thus
combining all nominations to a single
ballot.
The presentation of the platform by
the committe on resolutions was re-
ceived and passed. Little applause
interrupted the speaker except when
the plank promising a lower tax rate
n pointing out the results of Re
publican administration in that par
ticular was presented.
At the close of the reports Chairman
Parmly's announcement that nomina-
tions for a candidate for Board of
Street and Water Commissioners was
in order changed the whole aspect of
the audience. Shouts of "Holzinger!
Holzinger!" were answered by power
full shouts for "Kraemer!"
The First Ward chairman announced
the first name he wished to present
was that Of Thomas Holzinger, follow
ing it with those of John F. Sinnott
and John V. Diefenthaler.
The Second Ward added no names TO
the list. so it was not until the Third
was reached that DIR. Kraemer's name
was brought up in conjunction with
Holzinger n Alderman James A.
Bray. From that point on the fight
lay between Holzinger and Kraemer,
few votes coming In for the other can
didates except when the Sixteenth
Ward announced It's votes as a solid
ten for Alderman Bray.
At first the adherents of the two
principal figures contented themselves
with cheering every favorable vote,
but when the Seventh Ward was
reached, and of it's twenty-five votes,
cast twenty for Holzinger Kisses were
heard and were continued by the
partisans on the floor and in the au-
dience. The Second, Fourth and Sixth
Wards seemed to be the leaders in the
Holzinger movement.
AS soon as the result had been an
rounced nearly every delegation chair

while the voting was still going on and
had been declared Il Of order. being
