Fi lends of T. J. Jennings Said He Was Not Treated Fairly nnd Left the Convention Returned in the Afternoon But Took No Active Part in the Proceedings Hon. John E. Roche Was Nominated for Mayor The Other Candidates Named. Few conventions of recent yeura In Scinnton have been iih llvel us that conducted by the Demoetnts In Mimic hall yesterday. The following tandl daten weie nominated. Mayor--Hon. John E. Roche, pres ent Select Councilman from tho Sev enth Word. Treasurer Edmund J. Rohlnson, South Scranton; piosont City Con troller. Controller Esdias Howell, West Scranton. Assessors John A. Neuls, Nine teenth Ward; J. K. Smith, Second Ward ; John R. McLean, Sixth Ward. School Directors A. L. Francois, Second Ward; present President of the Board of Control ; Hon. John P. duinnan, South Scranton. The convention has left many and lasting MJie-s. After It adjourned the frlencte of T. J. Jennings were loud In their denunciation of the manner in which the? convention was conducted and proclaimed tho fact that they would not suppoit the nominee for mayor. One of Jennings lieutenants evidently spenklng with authority said. "T. J. Jennings had thirty-seven del egates pledged to his Interest who went Into that convention this) morning. A numbe- of contests that possessed no merit whatever were cooked tip and our regularly elected men prevented from otlng for the chairman. Later they were denied a cat In th" conven tion. We propose to protest at the. polls against such methods " When the Jennings candidate for chairman was defeated at the morn ing session his delegates left tho con vention with the Intention of organiz ing ono of their ow n. This step, af ter consldeintlon, they decided not to take. Most of the Jennings delegates attended the afternoon session, but the name of their choice was not presented to the convention. SANDO NAMED. Robeit Kmmet O'lloyle, of Xoith Scranton, nominated Hon. M. P. Sando for mayor without the knowledge of that gentleman, but withdrew his name before tie roll call was completed and the nomination of Hon. John V. Roche was made by acclamation. The convention will go down In his tory as one of the most continuously disorderly political gatherings in the history of the city. At 11 o'clock the convention was called to older by City Chairman D. J. Campbell. In tho nbsence of M. J. Walsh, secretary of the committee, At torney John J. Murphy, of the Nine teenth wnrtl, was called to that posi tion. P. II. iCojne, of the Twentieth wartl, was named as assistant secte tary. Secretary Murphj pioeeeded with th roll call, and the large crop of contests from Xorth Scranton showed that thf primaries Satuiday were waged with no little bitterness. When the Fomth district of the First ward was called, John P, Neary aiose to present hls credentials. I'atilck Hughes, nnothe. Xorth Scranton delegate, jelled, 'He's no Democrat." Mr. Neary looked at the speaker with Infinite contempt and disdained to reply. The only applause during the calling of the roll greeted W. G. O'Malley, who represented the Fourth district of the Twentieth ward. AVhen the work of calling the roll was disposed of, It was shown that the fol lowing contests awaited disposition: MAN CONTESTS. l'list ward Second district, M. J. Walsh, contested bv M J. Kelly.

Chairman Campbell called for renom Inatlons for temporary chairman and John W McLean named D. J. Camp bell. This Humiliation was seconded by 300 Pairs Men's $3M Shoes AT $2.00. Soencer WW WV1WWV James Padden Joseph Donnelly nom inated W. a. O'Malley. In placing his name before the convention h? said: "I nominate a mnn who has alwajs been a Democrat and as thnt state ment embodies every thing good there Is nothing moi e to be snltl 1 pteeent Mr. O'Mullej for tempoiary chairman." For temporal y seeictiny John K. Coyne und Thomas Huist vveit- nominated. The result of the vole for ehaliman was awaited with the liveliest Inteiost by the t omvntlon as It vns the first test of the sltength of the rival candi dates for the tnu tn allty nomination Mr Cunipbell was the candidate of the Roche delegates and Mr O'Malley of those- who fuviued All Jennings. tl'i.li:rs namhd. Chultinau Campbell named John J. Maglnini and Joseph Donnelly as tel lers to lecotd the vote. Mi. Donnelly at llrst refused to serve evidently see ing In his selection n scheme to take him fom the lloor of tin- convention. The Jennings miipui teis made a united call for Donnelly to act and ho com piled with their wishes. The polling of the delegates on tho chairmanship was lollovved by the greatest dhotder. At I he outset Ohah uian Campbell i tiled that a delegate whose seat was contested could not vote. In almost every ward from which thete was i contest theie was a low as soon as. that waid was reached The delegates from the First. Second, Eleventh, Nineteenth nnd Twentieth watds were parlieulatlv vehement In their protests nnd aigumcnts and the business of the convention was greatly delayed by their squubbllng. It was with the utmost dllllculty that Chair man Campbell slice eedetl in preserving a yemblancp of order. When the iMl call was completed the private tally kept bv the Jentibigs men Indicated the election of O'Mallev und they set up a. lusty cheer. By the time their enthusiasm diet out the tellers hud completed their count and It agreed. It was us follows. Campbell 24 O'Mallev . 21 When this result was announced the Roche admlteis bioke foith and they made a big demonstration. Many dele gates rushed tei the platform and shook the hand of the chnlrman-elee t. Thomas Huist, the Jennings candi date for seci"tury, withdrew his name and P. II. Covne was elected tinan lmouslv Immediately nflclvvatd W. G. O'Mallev made a vlgoious protest tigalnt this action alleging that Coyne's sent was contested and he had no right to seive. Till: FINAL STROKE. Hy this time dele-gate., were tin their feet In all paits of the hall and spec tators, swarmed into the space received for the delegates. Most of the dele gates had theli hats on This was the condition of affaiis when Chaliman Campbell announced his committee on contested seats. That was the spaik that set the convention allame. The members of the committee were Jnmes J. Padden, Seventh waid: Thomae- C. Melvln. Eighth wartl. James J. Mui ray. Nineteenth watd, James Fahey, Fifth ward, and P. F. Goidon, Second ward. This committee was highly distaste ful to the Jennings supporteis nnd pro tests long, loud and deep came from all parts of the hall. One delegate with a voice of gieat volume shouted: "Ye can nominate your ticket and e can elect it too; if ye can." John J Duikln, a staunch Jennings supporter, though not a delegate-, ciletl "This Is no place for Democrats," and beckoned to a ciovvd of Jennlngri dele gates to follow him. William Gut roll, another Jennings champion, and like Durkln not a delegate, moved his hat and directed the Jennings men to fol low him ftom the- hall. Joseph Tay lor also lerjuested the Jennings men to tiult the convention Duiing all of this time the greatest confusion pievulled and all semblance of older had dlsap peaied. As the Jennings men filed slowly from the hall, Chaliman Camp bell announted his other committees They were as follows Resolutions Colonel V .1. Fitz-lmmons. Dr. J. F Saltrv, John J O liojle, Thomas Reap. Thomas Burke. Organl? itfon John W. McLean F. R. Stark, John Maghran and Joseph Sltk m.iti After these announcements the con vention adjoin ned until 2 p m . the Jennings' men (locking Into the head quarters next door and the- Roche men proceeding to the St Charles. Confei ences wero held at both places. Sev eral of the paity leaders besought tho Jennings men not to organize another convention and tbeieby caue an open split In the party ranks. DECIDED TO OO RACK The Jennings men decided to go back Into the convention nt the afternoon session and piesc-nt n fotmal protest uguinst the tteatment thev lecelved. This piotc" was reduted to wilting and s-lgned by about thirty delegates. It was not pres-ented, however. Mar tin Donahoe. who hud the protest In his possession, said after the conven tion that he decided It would be use less to submit It The Jennings men took no active pait In the afternoon session.
