It began at 10.30 a. m. and continued In session without re cess until 2.20 p. m when Its business was completed. A spirited debate en sued after Attorney P. W. Pleltz read the rules he had prepared for the gov ernment of primaries according to the Crawford county plan. Several of the delegates favored referring the rules to a committee for consideration that they mlcht be amended and amplified If found Incomplete. The convention finally decided to adopt the rules, which were printed in The Tribune yesterday morning, without even having .them read. THE CONVENTION OPENS. In opening the convention City Chnlr man A. B. Ste-ens said It was called for the purpose of nominating six can didates for school director. These men, if elected, will have charge of the schools of this city if the Supreme court shall so determine. "No political convention that has assembled in this city had a graver responsibility con fronting It," continued Mr. Stevens. "The schools of this city are above party and party interests, nnd In se lecting candidates the man who seeks offlee merely because he is an office seeker should be left severely alone. It Is your duty to nominate men who will see that patriotism and the duties of citizenship are taught In our schools to the end that the youths of our city may have noble principles instilled into them that will make them worthy citi zens of this great country." Mr. Stevens directed the secretary, David J. Davis, to call the roll of the convention, nnd when this was done Thomas Brooks was appointed assist ant secretary. In calling the roll It was discovered that the Eighteenth ward had elected two delegates nnd was entitled to only one. Martin Mc Hale and H. W. Williams were the delegates.

While the committee on credentials was preparing its report, candidates for permanent officers were called for nnd Alderman W. S. Millar named E. E. Robathan. Roland Thomas nomi nated C. E. Chittenden for permnnent chairman. Alderman Howe called the attention of the chairman to tho fact that the selection of permanent offi cers at that time would prevent the members of tho committee on creden tials from voting and also the men whose seats were contested. Chairman Stevens held Mr. Howe's point well taken and said they would delay tho selection of permnnent officers until after tho committee on credentials had reported. When that report was disposed of the roll was called and tho vote for Messrs. Chittenden and Robathan for permanent chairman was polled. It was as follows: C. E. Cittcnden, 50 K. E. Unbntlinu, - - -19 On motion of Mr. Robathnn the elec tion of Mr. Chittenden was made by acclamation. In accepting the office, Mr. Chittenden said that he greatly appreciated the honor nnd hoped the convention would use discretion and Judgment In nominating candidates. John II. Fellows then moved that the convention proceed at once with the business of the convention, which wus seconded by W. S. Millar. Several delegates objected. They wanted a re cess for dinner. Chairman Chittenden suggested that they first select per manent secretaries, and David J. Davis and Thomas Brooks were chosen. John B. Gillespie offered a resolution providing that the two candidates re ceiving the highest number of votes be the candidates for the three year terms; tho two receiving the second highest number of votes for the two year terms, and the two next highest for the one year terms. All candidates to receive a majority of the votes of the convention and all ties to be voted off. This resolution was adopted. RESOLUTIONS REPORTED. Following this came the report of the committee on resolutions, which was read by the chairman, F. AV. Fleitz. It was as follows: Wc, the Republicans of tho city of Scranton in convention assembled, hereby reaffirm our devotion to the cardinal principles of the party of Lin coln, Grant, Garllcld, Blaine, Harri son nnd McKtnlcy, as enunciated In the platforms as adopted at St. Louis and in tho resolutions adopted by tho county convention In September last. Wu coiiEratulato all tho people of this great county on tho alacrity and intelligence with which a Republican congress and a Republican president proceeded to enact legislation to bring back tho prosperity which wo enjoyed under formur Republican adminis trations and lost under Democratic misrule. ' Wo commend tho enactment into law of tho Dlngley tariff bill, which has al ready started the Urea In huudieds of furnaces and sot Into motion thou sands of wheels and spindles, and wo especially commend the efforts of our senators, Quay and Penrose, and our congressman, William Connell, for tho active part they took In procuring tts enactment. We further pledge our earnest sup port to the candidates this day nomi nated nnd believe their own records and the reccrd of the great party whose candidates they are will Insure their election by on uterwhelmlng ma jority In February next. After the adoption of the resolutions Mr. Fleitz presented the rules govern ing the conducting of primary elections which were printed in yesterday's Tribune. Mr. Fleitz said that he did not think the rules he proposed will wlpp out nil the evils connected with primary elections, but ho did bellevo their adoption would be n. long step In the right direction. Ho closed by mov ing their adoption. SOME OBJECTIONS. W. S. Dlehl offered as an amend ment that tho rules be referred to a committee of five to be appointed by th chairman, this committee to report at the next city convention. He said that In a matter of such moment haste should be made slowly. The adoption of the rules at this time would throw the next county primaries Into confu sion because then would bo one sys tem In the city and another lit the county. It would bu better to wait and nlluw rules for the entire county to bo first adonted. John II. Fellows made a speech in favor of tho adoption of the rules. He said if the delegates wanted to do the "best possible servlco for their party they would adopt the rules. In clos ing ho said tho people wanted the rules. "Give the people what they want," he concluded, "and then see how they will stand bv the candl dntes of this convention." Charles Acker, of the Foutteenth ward, objected to considering the rules in such a Ir.iBty manner. Ho did not think they were clear enough In z'cea, especially in tho matter of defining what constitutes a city convention. F. E. Price also entered nn objection, Mr. Floltz In reply said tho rules were tho simplest and least complicat ed ho knows nnythlng of for conduct ing primary elections. Mr. Acker cnll cd for tho rending of that poitlon of the rules with reference to tho city convention. When this was done Mr. Acker renewed his objection that the rules do not specify what tho city con vention shall be. Ho nlso oblectcd to tho eleventh section of tho rules. A delegato called for tho reading of the tules, making his wish known In tho form of an amendment to tho amendment to refer the rules to tho committee. Chairman Chittenden said, ho did not think tho amendment ger mane to the original motion and refus ed to entertain it. MAJOR PENMAN'S ARGUMENT. Major T. F. Penman then claimed tho attention of the convention. He said the delegates would act pcrclnltntclv and tldlculously in adopting rules that havo not been read and of which tho delegates and Republican!! generally had no knowledge accept from what appeared In the public prints within six hours of the assembling of the con vention. They had not even uny knowl edge that the rules offered were the same as those printed. Tho county committee Is the supreme authority In the county and he thought It would bo putting the cart before the horse for the city convention to anticipate the county convention by adopting rules at this time and especially without time to amply and seriously consider them. Mr. Fellows made another speech In favor of tho rules. He said he would admit that the adoption of the rules would make some people ridiculous but It would not be those who are anxi ous to do right. Ho said ho was desir ous of giving tho people ths largest poslble say In matters of government. There was a disposition on the part of some of the delegates to continue the' debate but the convention decid ed that It wanted to vote on the ques tion of referring the rules to a com mittee for consideration. Tho motion to lefor was lost by n. vote of 72 to 25 and the rules were then adopted. it was 12.45 when tho motion to adopt the rules passed and Mr. Flelts moved that the convention adjourn un til 2 o'clock. Mr. Fellows opposed tho motion. The roll was called and the invention decided to continue In ses sion by a vote of 02 to 45. THE NOMINATIONS. Alderman Millar then moved that tho convention proceed to the nomination of six candidates for school board. This motion was adopted und Mr. Mil lar placed In nomination Frederick S. Godfrey, of tha Eighth ward. Other nominations were made as follows: Major T. F. Penman Frank S. Bar ker, of tho Seventeenth ward. Attorney C. W. Dawson Oscar S. Rldgwuy, Tenth ward. E. E.

Mr. Acker Explains His Position. Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Kindly allow me suace In your columns to explain my position In yester day's convention upon tho question of tho adoption or rejection of the so-called Crawford county system of rules. I maintained on tho floor of tho con vention, and do still maintain, that it wero better to make haste slowly. Why so urgent a necessity for their adoption, I do not understand. I can, however, sco that tho precipitancy by which they have become tho law of our city organization has led to Important omissions which will probably causo future party embarrass ments.
