'1 must put the question on the
adoption of the majority report. I can
do nothing else and it is entirely fair
that 1 should put this motion. If the

Millar for Permanent Chairman.
I.uther Keller,- of the Seventeenth
ward, nominated W. 8. Millar for per
manent chairman. No other nomi
nation was niande and Mr. Millar was
elected by acclamation. In assuming
the presiding officer's chair Mr. Millar
made a ringing speech, thanking the
convention for the honor conferred upon
him and eulogizing the magnificent
achievement of the Republican party
In the administration ut municipal af
fairs In this city during: the past. Mr.
Millar said:
Mr. Chairman nnd gentlemen of the
convention: I owe it ns my llrst duty to
thank you most feelingly nnd sincerely for
the distinguished honor you huve Just con
ferred upon me In choosing me to preside
over the acts and deliberations of this
convention. J deem it an honor. Indeed, to
preside over such an Intelligent and rep
resentative body of delegates as Is here
represented. This is a Republican conven tion
and it has met for the purpose of
naming and nominating the next mayor.
Hie next treasurer, the next controller and
the next Hoard or assessors or tins healthy,
prosperous and nourishing city. The peo
ple, of whom 1 he grand old Republican
party Is a predominant part, will ratify
with no uncertain emphasis the choirs of
this con vein Ion at the polls on the third
Tuesday of February next.
Our parly was divided nt the polls last
Saturday in Its battle royal for the se
lection of the best men to represent the
party, but it will be united at the polls
next month against our friends, the ene
my, and will elect the choice of this con
vention by a tremendous majority. The
caucus last Saturday demonstrated the
fact that the Republican party of this
city Is a vigorous anil active body, well
organizer! and enthusiastic. The result
of the primaries necessarily left some
wounds which true Republicanism and
true manhood will heal from the moment
this convention adjourns. It Is a matter
of commendable pride that the Republican
party of this clly has within its ranks so
many of the best men of the city that In
the selection of a leader It brings forth
such a stupendous caucus as It did last
Saturday, The ilefated candidates and
their loyal body of supporters are no less
to be commended than their successful op
ponents. It Is not necessary for me. gentlemen of
the convention, to remind you that the Re
publican parly of this city is Invincible
when united against the common enemy.
Therefore let me urge upon you that
when a ticket-has been named by this con
vention that it be the ticket that we, one
and all, will stand manfully by at the
polls next February, as becoming true and
consistent Republicans, and a greater vic
tory than has heretofore been recorded
will be ours. The good citizens of this
grand city of ours cannot, nor will not, ask
for a change in the administration of Its
governmental affairs. The clean, honest
uml nroifi-esslve record of Republican
management during the past nine years-
commends itself to the people and admits
of no argument for a change. Let wis
dom, patriotism and Republicanism pre
vail In this convention and throughout our
grand old party at the polls, and the gov
ernmental affairs of our city will tuke
no step backward the next three years.
Flection of Secretaries.
At the conclusion of his addressChalr
man Millar announced that the election
.of three secretaries wan in order. Ac
cordingly James MrOulnness, of the
Eleventh ward. D. J. Davles. of the
Fifth ward, and James McCoy, of the
Twentieth ward, were elected by accla
mation. J, W. Oakford, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, reported the fol
lowing resolutions which were unani
mously adopted:
The Republicans of the city of Scranton
In convention assembled congratulate the
people upon the opening of tne new yer,
the close of which, we cohrldently believe,
will nee the return of the grand old party
to power in sll branches of the national
government.
We heartily endorse the administration
of Mayor Connell as the chief executive
or our city; Frederick J. Widmayer, con
troller; Reese i. Brooks, treasurer, and
all the other faithful and efficient offi
cers of our municipal government. The
record of the party in charge of the vari
ous departments Is one we may well be
proud of. Though elected as Republicans
and partisans and in the face of string
opposition, they have discharged the du
ties of their respective trusts in further
ance of the best interests of all the peo
ple, without regard to party or favoritism
of any kind.
We pledge ourselves to every proper ef
fort to maintain the ascendency of the
Republican party In city alfairs. believ
ing it to be for the best interests of all
classes of the people, und to that end
unite in a cordial and earnest endorse
ment of the ticket this day named. To
Its triumphant election we promise to de
vote ourselves, and Invite the endorsement
and support of all the volar of the city
without regard to previous party lines
or affiliations.
Colonel Kippls Nominated.
When It was announced that nomina
tions for mayor were In order James
V. Oakford. of the Seventeenth ward,
placed the name of Colonel F.zra II. Rip
ple before the convention. In nominat
ing Colonel Ripple Mr. Oakford said:
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention:-!
reel thut it Is a very distin
guished honor to be permitted to plac in
nomination for the office of mayor of our
great, prosperous and growing city a man
we honor ourselves lu honoring. I name
Colonel Ezra H. Ripple.
The people of Scranton know Colonel
Ripple through und through. They huve
tried hi in and tested him. Thirty years
ago Ue was tried by rtre, and he came
out of the hell of battle and the living
death of the prison pen with honor un
tarnished and courage unbroken. For
thirty years since that time he has been
at the front of every movement of this
city.
Wherever we placed him, whether on the
board of health, the park commission, col
onel of the regiment or chief executive of
the city we huve found him public spirit
ed, unsparing of self, big-hearted, honest
and faithful. The mayor of this city must
be a man of rugged strength and undoubt
ed integrity, big enough and broad enough
to make no distinctions of rich or poor,
race or religion. You know, and the peo
ple know, that in Colonel Ripple we Und
the man we seek.
Ten years ago. you nominated him for
mayor, and he broke the power of Demo
cratic mis-rule, which had throttled the
growth and prosperity of our city. He is
a stronger man today than he was then,
for the longer a man like Colonel Ripple
lives, the better his character is known
and appreciated, the more friends he has.
He gave us a clean, honest, strong admin
istration of the mayor's office ten years
ago, and he will give us a clean, honest and
strong administration again.
Seconded by Joseph Weber.
Colonel Ripple's nomination was sec
onded by Joseph Weber, of the Nine
teenth ,"I esteem It an especial honor,"
said Mr. Weber, "as a representative
of the South Side the 'solid South Side"
ns It is now termed to second the
nomination of so good a man as Colonel
Hippie, and I predict that he will re
ceive the largest vote ever given a can
didate in that locality."
Henry Hagen, of the Fifth ward, also
seconded Colonel Ripple's nomination.
Charles Schluger, of the Seventeenth,
moved that the nomination be made by
acclamation. This motion was adopted
and Colonel Ripple was declared to be
the nominee of the convention, me
announcement was met with a deafen
ing burst of applause.
Attorney David J. Davles, of the Fifth
ward, nominated Daniel Williams for
city treasurer. Mr. Davles said:
.Mr. Chulrman, delegates and fellow-citizens:
I take great pleasure at the re
quest of a majority of the citizens nnd tax
payers of Hyde Park in bringing before
you for your careful consideration as a
cundldateforclty treasurer a man who has
spent the greater portion of his life among
us and has watched the growth or Scran
ton from a few houses to the largest city
of northeastern Pennsylvania. The man
we present does not represent the
aristocracy, for he came from the
plainest of plain people; he does
not represent capital and great
accumulations, always having ' been
compelled to maintain himself by the
sweat of his brow, by manual labor, but
he does represent the laborer In the mines,
and everwhere honest men are striving
to better their conditions and to Illustrate
the dignity or labor and the nobility of
American citizenship.
Such a man is Daniel Williams. An able,
clear-headed business man, cool, calm
mind and sterling patriotism, a life-long
Republican; stern, yet cautious and un
compromising with regard to matters
which he believes to be right and his duty
to perform.
Conrad Sehroeder's Romarks.
Mr. Williams' nomination was sec
onded by Conrad Schroeder, delegate
from the Thirteenth, who said tnat in

and honest. Luther Keller, delegate
from the Seventeenth ward, also added
his testimony to show the esteem in
which Mr. Williams is held in the com
munity. Mr. Williams was then nomi
nated by acclamation.
F. J. W'ldmayer's candidacy for city
controller was made known to the con
vention by Luther Keller, who named
him In a brief, but forcible uddress.
Jacob Weissman, of the Nineteenth

THE FELLOWS CONVENTION.
Full City Ticket Norolnatod at the Fuller
Hall Gathering.
When ex-Mayor Fellows left the Mu
sic hall convention he proceeded up
Lackawanna avenue with the delegates
and spectators who thought the rump
convention would be the more inter
estlng of the two. After Fullers hall had

a chairman and he was by unanimous
consent selected for that onVe. W. II.
Withers and K. M. Vernoy were named
as secretaries.
A roll was made out of the bolting
delegates and those who hud entered
contests showing that forty-four were
present, several spectators being chosen
to act as delegates for unrepresented
districts. A committee on resolutions
consisting of A. J. Atkinson. Crant Cut
ler and W. J. McDonr ll was apisjinted
who reiKirted the following which were
unanimously adopted:
We, the regular elected Republican dele
gates In convention assembled, do pledge
ourselves to stand by the nominees elected
In the convention. We also condemn the
ring rule of the present administration In
Using the police force and tire department
in city politics and also boodle. He it fur
ther Resolved, By the convention that the
nominee for mayor pledges himself if
elected to keep the police force anil other
public departments out of politic nnd to
give a pure administration to the people
and. be It further
Resolved, That the nominees of the con
vention pledge themselves to give an
economical administration to the pcop.e
of the clly and do all In their power 10
rsditce their taxes to a minimum.
Moir Nominated for Mayor.
Nominations for mayor were called
for by the chairman, and Secretary
Withers presented the name of Captain
James Molr to the delegates. II. H.
Chase seconded the nomination, which
was made by acclamation.
Air. Fellows made a short sneech
nominating Thomas D. Duvles for cuy
treasurer and that gentleman, too, was
unanimously chosen. The same comp i-
ment was paid to Charles W.Westpfahl,
whom H. H. Chase placed before the
convention as a candidate for city con
troller. There were cries of loir!"
Molr!" from various parts of the room
and a committee was appointed which
in a few minutes brought the captain
before the convention. He spoke as fol
lows:
I hurdly know what to say. It Is very
fluttering to me to receive this nomina
tion, knowing as I do that the meeting that
has tendered it. Is composed of delegates
to the Republican convention. 1 am lu
rather an embarrassing position. I detest
a coward, but will light as long as I can
stand. The Celtic blood that flows through
my veins Is all lighting blood.
Oentlemen. this Is a serious thing and 1
think you will hear with me If I talk
about It. We have made every honorable
effort to secure our nomination. Wo
found that we could not do It, although I
m still under the belief thut our dele
gates were legally elected, and that we
were only defeated by the Democratic
vote. It is very gratifying to myself,
Mr. Westpfahl and Mr. Davles that 111
strong Republican wards we hud a ma
jority of the votes cast, but In the Demo
cratic wards we were not 111 it.
There are two things that 1 must consid
er before 1 uccept this nomination.
In the nrst place, you all Know my com
punction against being looked upon as
bolting the convention. Perhaps we are
not bolters. The Republicans assembled
here have iust as much right to alve ex
pression to their feelings as those in the
other convention nave, v nen you lounu
oil had no business there you came up
ere. 1 certainly have a little superstition,
I think on the question of bolting, and then
in the next place 1 wish 1 was joe jermyn
or some one like him. The trouble, gen
tlemen. Is thut while poverty Is 110 crime,
it is mighty Ineonvvnlent.
In heading this movement we all looK
for victory, but It seems to me wrong to
put this great burden upon my shoulders
because I have to attend to my business
and every one knows what a terrible
strain it Is for a poor man to look after
his business and his family und conduct it
political campaign. 1 think I huve reached
the limn, and 1 (ion 1 Know 11 11 is wise ior
me to accept the nomination as 1 can
hardly see my wuy clear. You want some
one besdes me. 1 have been treated ex
tremely well during the campaign so rur,
both by the public and by the press of the
city, both Republican and Democratic,
I have really been put to a terrible
strain during my campaign and It seems'
to me as If it should culminate nere. 1
do not think It would be wise to accept
this nomination, ror it is going to oe a ngnt
for blood. I'nder the circumstances there
fore 1 cannot see how 1 can possibly ac
cept this very flattering nomination you
have given me.
Hold a Short Conference.
After Captain Moir's remarks he held
a short conference with Chairman Fel
lows and Secretary Withers and at its
conclusion Mr. Withers said that ns
Captain Moir was somewhat opposed to
going into another campaign after the
hard fight through which' lie had just
passed, he moved that the matter be
held in abeyance for a few days and
the captain given an opportunity to
consider the whole matter thoroughly.
This motion prevailed.
Charles Rain, of Providence; Bigelow
Stephens, of the West Side; Oerge B.
Thompson, of the Ninth ward; Reese
C. Powell, of the WestSlde. and Ru
dolph Buenzll, of Petersburg, wer
nominated for assessors and a vote re
sulted as follow. Rain, 26; Stephens,
28; Thompson, 32; Powell, 7. The first
three were declared the nominees. A
misunderstanding arose as to who was
nominated nnd Rudolph Buenzll made
a speech or acceptance wnne mooring
under the Impression that he had been
nominated. The following resolution
was proposed by H. B. Chase ana
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By this convention, that
should a vacancy occur on the tick t nomi
nated by the same by death, resignation
or otherwise that the chairman, secreta
ries and city committee be and are hereby
authorized to 111! the same.
Closa of the Convention.
Mr. Fellows made a speech In which
he said that they were the only true
Republicans and the convention closed
with a speech of thanks to the delegates
by Captain Moir.
After the convention adjourned Chas.
Westpfahl was seen by a Tribune re
porter. He said his Impression was
thut he would not accept the nomina
tion but that he would not give a decis
ive answer until he had time to consider
I he matter and had a conference with
Captain Molr.

The management of the Driving Park
skating rink yesterday adopted a novel
and comical means of advertising.
There was driven about the city by a
groom in regulation livery a tandem
consisting of as big a mule as was ever
foaled and a tiny donkey.
The pair was hitched to a smart four
wheeled trap. The big mule was
wheeler, and each beast wore a brass,
trimmed harness and bore a high red
Plume. Strings of bells about their
bodies first attracted attention to tne
whole outfit, while a modest sign which
announced good skating and music at
the Driving Park did the rest.
John W. Frits, the Ickawanna ave
