ueuIOcrdtlC party WIS Ilelu ldoI SNoh- ing in Bardeck's hall and often through the course of the business session it appeared to the less excited attendants that bedlam had broken loose, when the hall fairly rocked With the shouting of various names Of candidates for places in the delega- tions selected. The convention was called to order by Chairman William F. Mangan, who called for the nomi- nation of a temporary chairman. Judge John Walsh, who has acted in a similar capacity for years, was named for the place by John F. Leeney. Judge Mangan was named as secretary on a motion by T. J. Smith.
 The committee on credentials was named as follows: First ward, Rich ard Schaefer; second ward, Oscar F. Kraus; third ward, P F. McDonough: fourth ward, J. l.. Ross; fifth ward, T. Devine; sixth ward, F. l.. Conlon. Mr. McDonough, reporting for the committee, reported the number of delegates entitled to be seated E. w. Pelton held the proxy for c. E.. Hart of the third ward

Leeney, E. B. filling, John J. Riley, George M. Landers, A. S. Andrulewicz nd Richard Schaefer. At the close of the convention the delegates met and selected P. F. Me- Donough as chairman and Richard Schaefer as secretary It was also decided to recommend the naming of John F. Leeney as a member of the credentials committee at the conven- ton, Judge Walsh a member of the permanent organization committee, c. M. Ianders, a member of the resolu- tlon committee, and B. B. filling a vice president MT. Landers will again be recommended as a state central committeeman, a place he now holds.
 Many Candidates for Delegations.
 Evidently the congressional delega- tion was one that was looked upon with considerable interest by the dem ocrats, for when the time arrived for the naming of the representatives on the delegation, every one seemed to start talking, nominating a candidate or shouting. Finally matters reached a state where the business could be transacted and the following dele gates were chosen: w. J. Smith, J. J. Watson, A. M. Paonessa, F. l.. Con1on, c. P. Wainwright, w. J. Lenehan and Paul Nurzack w. F. Mangan, E. w. Pe1ton, S. L. Hinch1iffe, E. B. filling | and M. c. Connolly were named, but l declined.
 The next order of business was the 1 naming of delegates to the probate l convention, and the following are the choice of the conventions: John l.. Ross, P. F. King, c. P. Wainwright c nd E. o. Kilbourne
 Judge w. F. Mangan moved that the chairman of the convention be en- powered to appoint a committee of three to brisg in a list of candidates for justice of the peace at an ad- journed convention. P. F. McDon- of a candidate for senator and two representatives be deferred until this adjourned convention. Richard Schaefer asked if there was any req son why this action should be taken. When he had set himself in a pose that indicated a long speech. MT. Me- Donough explained the uncertainty of the state convention outcome and the fact that the selection of candidates for the places has always been made at an adjourned meeting of the dele gates The explanation satisfied the first ward representative.
 The motion of Judge Mangan and the suggestion of MT. McDonough were carried when put before the convention. Judge Walsh then an- nounced the following committee to bring in the list of nominees for jus tices of the peace: w. F. Mangan, H. P. Roche and P. F. McDonough.
 In a speech in which he urged push" among the democrats, T. c. Smith, ST, waxed eloquent. He sug- gested that a clambake be arranged or that MT. McDonough act in the role of philanthropist and loan his farm for an outing, also his auto to convey the picnickers
