SLATED TICKET
is NOMINATED
Hubbard for Mayor, Mcclure, Plat
and Edwards for Other Offices

A political assemblage styling
itself the citizens convention,
convened at the city hall last night
and nominated a ticket designated
as the Citizens ticket. and for an ex-
hibition Of the genuine machine poll
tics 1t was probably the most remark
able political gathering ever held in
the city. Prior to and during the
holding of the caucuses that selected
the delegates scr that convention the
cry had been sent abroad by those
who manipulated them, and the con-
vention held last night, that a city
election was approaching and that
the voice of the people must not be
stifled, but must be heard-must
have expression in caucuses and a
convention, and in view of these
things it had generally been expected
that the hall in which the convention
met would be crowded with people
who had come to witness the actions
of the body that they had chosen to
represent them, but there were in at
tendance, besides the delegates and
the slated candidates, not to exceed
Is other persons and they we're for
the most part curiosity seekers. The
assemblage was not only unique for
its display of machine politics but for
its personnel as well. VIM. Dollar,
the we'll known political manipulate
or. was there to direct the proceed
ings. ]. C. White was there, and
when not engaged in decorating the
ears Of those present with lingo
declarations was engaged in giving
cues and prompting the amatuers in
the play who appeared upon the po-
litical stage for the first time. There
was present also Ezra Whitla with
his legal documents made out ready
to be signed by the officers of the
convention and to be filed with the
city clerk.
DR.. s. H. McEuen, president of the
present city council, and probably the
ablest and strongest man in that
body was there as candidate for the
mayorship on a sincere municipal
ownership platform but his name had
been left of the slate and his politi-
cal ambitions were rewarded bp let

They arrived at the foot OF the noun

maps with which he was provided. He
missed his reckoning by few miles
and landed in safety. but at a point
on the north slope OF Strawberry hill,
two miles or more from the spot at
which he aimed. Not . grain OF sand

also been left on the slate. but he
was rewarded by being placed on the
platform committee. The man from
Bangor, Maine, was also in attend
ance and succeeded in securing the
passage Of a resolution that has for
its object the appointment of a self
constituted central committee, whose
principal business from now on will
be to confer with H. H. Hubbard. the
nominee for mayor, and whose mis-
sion after the election is over will be
to see to 1t that when the next cleo
tion comes caucuses are held, so that
another convention like the one held
last night may be possible. In fact
every thing and everybody was there

Slate Carried Out to Letter.
The slate that had been formulated
previous to the convention was car
ried through to the letter and with
out a hitch. The convention was
called to order by w. p. Smith, and
M. c. Normoyle was elected temper
airy chairman. and Robert Kerchival
secretary. The temporary organiza-
ton was then made permanent and
the chair empowered to appoint a
committee on credentials and plat
form. Those appointed on the form
er committee were, NJ. M. Taylor.
Dan Lester, A. Perrenoud, and a lit
tie trouble was experienced in secur-
ing the fourth man. and some one
suggested Blixt. but the chair told
him that Blixt was scheduled to go
on another committee. and w. p.
Brennan was appointed in his place.
Those composing the latter commit
tee were w. p. Smith, J. G. White, A.
Blixt and o. NJ. Butcher. An ad-
journment was taken for 10 minutes
In order to give the committee time
to make its report, and within that
length of time they filed in, and the
convention reconvened. The resolu-
ton committee was a little over-anx-
ious to report and insisted on taking
precedence over the credential com.
mittee. and this married a little the
regularity of the program, but White
soon called attention to the fact that
the credential committee came first
set things right, and it made its re-
port, which was accepted and the
platform adopted.
