Uesolvcd. that to the nominees of this convention wo pledpo our earnest and most tireless support. NOMINATIONS FOH MAYOR. Nominations for mayor were asked for and Hon. John V. Kelly was iccos- iilzed by tho chair. He placed the Hon. John E. Itoulic in nomination. In doing eo, he said: 'I ailse to Hubmit for your consider ation the name of a man for the ofllce uf chief executive of this magnillcent pity. Fully realizing' the Importance of this ofllce, I arise to propose a man who will lead the victorious Demo cratic hosts at the coming election. T will nominate for you a clenn, honest smd able man In the person oi Hon. John 12. Itoche." Mr. Kelly then referred to Mr. Koche's services in the ptute legislature nnd the city councils, and closed as follows: "He is a man of ability and integrity; a man of splendid courage, who has made for himself a prominent place among the foremost men of this city." Robert Emmet O'Boylc, of North Scianton, next claimed the attention of the convention, nnd in a fervid speech nominated Hon. M. F. Sando. He described him as a true Democrat and an able man, who Js well qualified to fill the high ofllce of mayor. "This morning's session has debauched this convention and created sores that my experience in politics tells me it will he almost Impossible to heal,' said Mr. O'Eoyle. "The man I name is a Demo crat of the highest order, whose place has been in the foremost ranks of the party woikers. He is a man of the truest patriotism, firmest Americanism and purest Democracy. I nominate him without his consent, hut he was nominated without his consent last fall and made a splendid candidate. If you want a good, clean, able mayor for Seranton, nominate Hon. M. F. Sando." SVNDOWS NAME WITHDRAWN. This closed the nominations, and the convention proceeded to declare its choice. While tho vote was being polled, Mr. Sando's name was with drawn by Mr. O'Hoyle and the nomin ation of Mr, Roche was made by ac clamation. While the vote for mayor was being recorded, and while the toilets weie preparing to recoul it, the convention was In a constant tumult. P. J. Honan, at the head of a crowd of Jennings shouters, was working his way down the left hand aisle towaids the stage after the nominations were made, when he overheard some one make a motion to adjourn to 0 o'clock. Honan seconded It and proceeded, to make a speech. Chairman Campbell paid no Intention to the mutton, if, Indeed, he heaid it through the Hi- WW I'IbjH WHUN HE COURTED YOU He didn't complain if you were a little despondent or irritable at times. Now he does. He s the same man. He didn't un derstand then. He doesn't now. Then he , thought it was i caprice ana liked it. Now he thinks it is caprice and doesn't like it. But now he's busy get ting money. If heiealized the full truth he would be more than anx ious to have the wife he loves take the right remedy to restore her to true womanly health. Most men don't know that when a woman is weak, nerv ous, irritable and despondent, there is invariably bomething radically wrong with the delicate feminine- organs with which her entire physique is in sensitive touch. There is one, and just one rem edy, tried and proven, that will put uuugs ngm wnen me feminine organism is weak or diseased. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It re stores perfect health to the weakened organs, and makes them strong, clean and virile. It makes wifehood happy, and motherhood easy. It banishes mornimr sickness and all other discomforts that precede maternity. It makes labor light, short and almost painless. It helps to make real "new women." An honest druggist won't urge upou you a sub stitute. Mri. atmcrion Allen, of Donet, Ontario Co., OnL, writes: "I can truly aav that I tliiuk Dr. Tierce'! medicines the beat I nave ever used. I uii in Yfry poor health for a long time, listing from the birth of my little girl. I tried dlfterciu doctor and different medlcinei. I deried very much more benefit from your mediciues than from any cither I hare ever used. I took four battles or 'Favorite Prescription ' nd three hot tle of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and 1 alwaj s keep the ' Pellet in the house." a rTwa'vE?l J mult, and this mudc Mr. Ilonun ex ceedingly wroth. With Tim Fadden. of the Fourteenth ward, ns his second, he forged to the front and started ti vociferous tirade against gags nnd bosses and all that sort of thing1. Chairman Campbell asked him what his trouble was. Mr. Honan stated that a motion to ndjourn had been regularly made and seconded nnd that the house was waiting to hear It put. "The motion Is out of order," declared the chairman. This started Mr. Honun on another violent harrangue that no amount of noise, coaxing or threats could check. The wildest dlsoider prevailed. Mr. Honan talked, or rather, shouted. Chairman Campbell pounded his gnvel appealing unuvalllngly for order, llocho men called for tho roll call. Secretary Coyne was making futile attempts to call th? roll. X'UT HIS MAN DOWN. George Itoaar had a one-legged man down on the floor trying to silence him, while everybody within arms reach was pulling at Itosar to attract his attention long enough to make him understand that the man ho was light ing with was a cripple. When the tumult wus at Its highest, Chairman Campbell, despairing of ever winning order. Robert nmmct O'Boylc hoi rowed n piece of paper nnd a pencil and hied himself to the stage, where he took a scat at tho tellers' table and an nounced that he was teller for Mr. Sando. He was Informed by the chair that he was not a teller and had no business on the stage. Mr. O'Doylo In sisted that Mr. Sando should be rep resented on the board of tellers, and he was there to represent him. Mr. O'Boyle's olTlciousncss wus not relish ed and egged on by crleH of "put htm off," "throw him out" and the like, Patrick V. Scanlon, of the Seventh waid, dashed out on the stage and caught Mr. O'Boylc by the scruff of the neck and lifted him bodily Into the wings nnd out of sight. But the genial Robert Emmet was not phased n hit. Tho little experience with Scanlon only made him all the moro genial. Assuming his most com placent cast of countenance he had at hand and working up his most ami able smile he forged his way to a commanding position in front of Chairman Campbell and with a dra matic coals-of-rlre air withdrew the name of Mr. Sando. - All this time Honan had kept on talking nnd the crowds In the gallery and pit encouraged him or tried to discourage him according to their fac tional leanings with calls of "sit down," "bullv for Honan," "shut up," "hire a hall," "nominate Molr," "hurrah for Roche," "hurrah for Jennings" and so one. One knot of mischief workers up In the right end of the gallery made the already extremely dlfllcult work or calling the roll all the more dlfllcult by yelling "Sando" every time a dele gate was called upon to vote To overcome this difficulty it was neces sary to have each delegate come to the front and be identified before his vote was recorded. The count had gotten only ns far as the Seventh ward when Mr. O'Boyle ended the contest. CONVENTION QUIETED DOWN. The withdrawal of Sando's name had the effect of taking some of the edge off the enthusiasm of the noise-workers and also had the effect of causing many of them to start towards the door. From this time out the disorder grad ually diminished until it finally was no noisier than a boiler shop. By the time the nominations for assessors were taken up one could easily hear a bass drum if it was beaten inside the room. When Chairman Campbell an nounced that It would be In order to make the Roche nomination by ac clamation, Mi. Honan was heard from with a motion to that effect phrased as follows: "That the standard bear er of the minority of this convention be the standard bearer of Democracy In the coming campaign." Somebody presented the motion In more accept able form and it was declared carried. E. J. Robinson's nomination for con troller was made by T. C. Melvln dur ing the prevalence of the noise follow ing the announcement of tho remit on mayor, nnd but few of the delegates heard it, or, at least, tool; the tioubls to vote on It. Esdras Howell was nominatec by ex-Senator M. E. McDonald In a brief speech, In which he extolled Mr. How ell's muny good iiunlttlcs and prophe sied for him the unanimous vote of his neighborhood. The nomination was made by acclamation and with some show of enthusiasm. CANDIDATE FOR ASSESSOR. Nominations for assessor were then declared in order and the following weie put up: John A. Neuls, Nine teenth ward; John Jt. McLean, Sixth ward; Thomas J. Hayden, Twelfth ward, James J. Manley, Twelfth ward; Thomas Flynn, Second ward; Fred. Burge, Twenty-first ward; Jacob Smith, Second ward; John J. Flana ghan, Eighth ward; John Doud, Nine teenth ward. Mr. Burge withdrew and tho balloting was begun, each delegate voting for threo nominees. The result was. Smith 35 Neuls 33 McLean 25 Doud 25 Manley 23 Flanaghnn 22 Hayden 13 Flynn 10J Smith and Neuls were declared to be two of the three nominees and ballot ing for the third was taken up. The announcement that two assessors' could not be elected from the same ward prompted the withdrawal of Messrs. Doud and Flynn, of tho Nineteenth and Second wards, respectively, and Hay den, who lives In the same ward as Manley. The second ballot resulted In tho selection of McLean by the follow ing vote: McLean 24 Manley 21 rianagban 10 Only a few spectators and about half the delegates remained In the hull when tho nominating of school direc tor was taken up. Alex. I. Francois, of tho Second ward, chairman of tho board of control; Hon. John V. Quln nan, of tho Twelfth ward, and Fred. 'U. Stark, of tho Nineteenth ward, were placed In nomination. The delegates voted for two, and the result was as follows: Francois 40 Quinnan 30 Stark ,.22 Chairman Campbell then declared the convention adjourned. A motion pre vailed during tho earlier excitement that tho city convention should be em powered to fill any vacancy that might occur on the ticket. MEETING OF MINISTERS. Interesting Papor Bead in tho Elm Park Church. The Methodist ministers' meeting was largely attended yestcrduy at Elm Park church. Among those present were Dr. C. M. Olmn, Dr. A, Grlflln, Dr. George M. Peck, llevn. iChalfec, Edgar, Madison, Van Cleft, Race, Bennlngcr, Santee, Cooper, Sonford, Lyman and Snowden. Rev. Joseph Madison presided. Rev. G. A. Place, of Curbondale, read tho paper of tho day on the subject "Physical Energy and Habits of Study." Dr. GltTlii supplemented tho paper by a clever nnd semi-humorous applica tion of the Ideas contained In tho paper. Rev. Dr. Peck followed In a prolonged talk, In which he endorsed Mr. Place's argument. Tho theme committee re ported that Rev. A. F. Chaffee would furnish tho paper at llic next meeting.
