Tierny, claiming recognition and it
being granted, stated that all the
argument amounted to was tempest
in tea pot. Barney Campbell NOV
ed that 1t be referred to the creden-
tials committee. Judge Saunders,
his index finger pointing straight at
the chair, failed to get anything.
Schnitzer seeing which way the wind
was blowing, and who is one Of Con-
sidine's lieutenants, began trimming
his sails but the captain at the helm
ruled against him. Captain Thatcher
appealed for the appeal. A. B. Gray
challenged Churchill's vote, and here
is where Skaggs of Elko bobbed up
with the remark that it was all hot
air. AS the vote progressed and Es-
meralda was reached, Rosenthal cast
thirty-nine votes for sustaining the
chair. Sprague Immediately called
for polling of the vote, which re-
suited in thirty-seven ayes and two
noes. Washoe refused to vote and
upon being pressed cast $50 votes for
the noes. Being pressed to come
down to earth they voted 129 noes
and then fatty refused to vote at all.
Senator Boyd of Washoe finally OBJ
tanned recognition to make motion
that further action in the matter be-
postponed until after the perfecting
of the temporary organization, which
carried.
The chair then called for nomina-
tions for temporary chairman of the
convention.
Judge Sweeney placed in nomina-
tion ex-senator Bell of Nye county,
seconding speeches coming from half
a dozen different counties.
w. H. Schnitzer had candidate in
the person Of Judge Hubbard of Es-
meralda, whom he in pointing out
reasons why he should be selected
designated as man who had i'm
bibed Democracy from his mothers
breast. Benny Rosenthal in second
ing knew Hubbard was Democrat
at which there was applause from the
Esmeralda delegation which started
Benny going again until a delegate
yanked him by the coat tail and land
ed him in seat. District Attorney
Swallow removed his coat in an eff
fort to second Hubbard. The vote
was then taken which resulted in the
selection of Bell. Schnitzer moved
that the selection of Bell be made
unanimous and Hubbard fell into the
band wagon by saying he would fol-
low Thomas ]. Bell anywhere. The
chair appointed Messrs. Thatcher,
Hubbard and Schnitzer to escort the
temporary officer to the platform.
Senator Bell upon taking the chair
said the high honor had come to him
Unexpectedly; that unlike his op-
ponent he had been raised on the
of harmony and. hoped that the
scrapping would cease; he was afraid
of dissension and lauded that famous
statesman from California, F. G.
Newlands; he referred to the biblical
phrase: Blessed be the peacemak-
ers," and that all Democrats should
be friends; that there must be no
opening of old sores for the Republi-
cans were very expert with the lance
and would probe deeply; he advised
the constructing of platform upon
which all could stand and hoped
there would be no faulty planks in its
makeup.
w. ]. McCabe was nominated secre-
, tary of the convention by acclama-
ton.
Chief Of Police Ed Malley of Tono-
} pah was appointed sergenat-at-arms.

: lowing were named:
