Other Aspiraats for the Noniaalioa
Dropped Oat of the RaceNames of
the Delegates Who Mate Vp the
ConventioB-Rei jlutious Adopted
by Last Week's Couaty Convention
Were Endorsed.
One of the most Interesting conven
tions ever held by the Republicans of
the Third Legislative district convened
yesterday afternoon In the arbitration
room of the court house. Dr. N. C.
Mackey, of Waverly was nominated
for the legislature, defeating; Frank J.
G rover, of Muosic, who represented the
district in the state legislature at the
last session.
The great Interest shown In the con
vention wan demonstrated by the large
crowd that thronged the arbitration
room. Although the atmosphere In the
little court room wus at white heat the
spectators remained until the nomina
tion had been made. Then the warm,
perspiration-soaked crowd gave vent to
a round of cheers for the nominee and
sought the cooler air of the corridor.
Yesterday's convention terminated a
fight for the nomination which has been
In progress for months. At the outset
the declared candidates were Dr. N. C.
Mackey, Frank J. Grover, William P.
Griffiths, burgess of Taylor; J. W. Cure,
of tlreenfield and Attorney It. H. Hot
Rate, of La Plume. Graduulty the num
bers) of the competitors was lessened
and yesterday only the names of
Mackey and Grover were presented. The
deliberations of the convention were
watched by nearly all of the prominent
He publican of the district and not a
few Democrats.
John McOi-indle, of Moosic. chairman
of the district standing: committee,
called the convention, to order at 2.30
and Dr. J. W. Houser, of Taylor, sec
retary of the committee read the call.

PARKER CHAIRMAN.
Charles Monle, of Lackawanna,
named K. C. Drum, of Gouldsboro, for
chairman of the convention and Wil
liam Slu-lp, of South Abington, placed
the name of T. 8. Parker, of the same
place, before the convention. Drum re
ceived twelve votes and Parker twenty-
elght. Mr. Parker was declared chair
man of the convention, and In assuming
the duties of the office he said he would
not make a speech. It was too hot for
oratory, he said, and if all of the dele
gates felt as he did they would complete
the business of the convention as quick
ly as possible. On motion of H. F. Tlnk
ham the temporary secretaries were
made permanent secretaries.
The chair asked for nominations for
the legislature and Charles Monle, of
Lackawanna, placed the name of Frank
J. Grover, of Moosic, before the con
vention. He paid an eloquent tribute
to Mr. Grover's gallant services during
the war and to his business ability and
his services In the last legislature.
"There may have been better orators
thun he in the legislature," said Mr.
Economical
Buyers . . .

Monle, "but I question It there was a
better man In committees, and It is In
that way after all the best work Is done
for the people. A man of that kind can
do greater service for his constituents
than a windy orator on the floor. He is
entitled to every consideration from us
and I bespeak for him a large vote, a
majority of the votes in this convention.
for Frank J. Grover Is entitled to the
nomination from us."
DR. MACKET NAMED.
R F. Tinkham. of Waverly. next
claimed the attention of the conven
tion. He said the next legislature will
elect a member of the United States
senate, the highest law-making body In
the country, and It was proper that at
this time the district should send a big,
broad-minded and patriotic man who
aspires to be a legislator, not becaust of
the pecuniary reward it will bring hl-n,
but because he has a patriotic desire to
represent the people of the district
Such a man he presented to the con
vention In the person of Dr. N. C.
Mackey, of Waverly. He said that the
part of the county Dr. Mackey comes
from is entitled to the nomination this
year.
Attorney R. H. Holgate was the next
speaker. He began by paying glowing
tributes to William McKinley and the
candidates on the county ticket. "You
have met here today," he continued "to
round out the party ticket. Will you
name a man who la entitled to and can
receive the united vote of the party or
will you name a man for whom you
must apologise, a man against whom
large section of this district Is solidly
arrayed? I stand here to second the
nomination of that gallant soldier,
Frank J. Grover." Mr. Holgate con
cluded by some extremely caustic re
marks regarding Dr. Mackey. The
delegates were polled and the result
was as follows:
FRANK J. GROVER 18
DR. N. C. MACKEY 24
CHEERS FOR THE NOMINEE.
Chairman Parker declared Dr. Mac-
key the nominee of the convention and
thereiii)n there was a scene of much
excitement. Delegates threw their hats
In the air and yelled "Mackey" and
Hurrah for Muckey" at the top of their
Voices.
The sentiments expressed In the coun
ty convention resolutions a week at;o
were endorsed as the expression of the
convention.
Dr. N. C. Mackey has been a practic
ing physician at Waverly for nearly
twenty years and has a wide acquaint
ance in all parts of the county. He
was the representative of the district at
Harrisburg during the session of 18SS.
THE POLISH CHURCH TROUBLE.
A Committee Asserts That a Majority
Are AgaiuNI Father Aunt.
A committee representing those who
are opposed to Father Aunt's adminis
tration of affairs at the Polish Catholic
church on the South Side called at The
Tribune office yesterday and made the
following statement concerning Mon
day night's meeting:
'The meeting was called to order by
Father Aust and he appointed Father
Gramlevitch as a speaker. Father
Gramlevitch was not ullowed to speak,
as he had no business there and besides
knew nothing of the affairs of the
church. All the priests then left and
afterwards the congregation appointed
the following committee to manage the
financial affairs of the church: Presi
dent, Joseph Nyts; vice-president, Mat
thews Sufka; treasurer, Martin Rabega;
secretary, Leon Kafchlenski; assistant
secretary, Stanley Rumovltch; con
troller. Rev. Richard Aust.
"Six trustees and four collectors were
also appointed. This committee shall
exist for one year and shall manage
faithfully all the affairs of the church.
We also wish to say that we had be
tween six and seven hundred legal
members of the church at tho meeting
which appointed this committee. Father
Aust had only about one hundred men
and they made the disturbance at the
meeting."
DICKSON CITY CONTEST.
Huong Probability That Pressman's
Vote Will Be Thrown Oat.
There was another hearing In the
Dickson city election contest before
Commissioners James E. Watklns and
Henry Mulholland in the office of
O'Brien & Kelly yesterday.
Henry Hlinms, John Pressman, Frank
Slinms, Benjamin Hall, Joseph Karolan,
John Amacher, William Eley, John
Welland, Cooney Rles and John A. Bar
ron were examined. Some of them did
not have their tax receipts or natural
ization papers with them and will have
to attend the next meeting, which will
be held on Tuesday, Aug. IS.
John Pressman testified that he came
to this country when twenty years of
age and was naturalized In 'Ulster
county, N. Y. He did not take out his
first papers and will therefore In ail
probability have his vote thrown out.

gan proceedings yesterday to secure a
divorce from Ralph Haley. The libel in

for the sufferer.

a slice of the Handley millions.
