In the meantime he and others of the ;airily ers builed themselves in securing men to rep resent unrepresented districts and making them familiar with the programme. which had been adopted by the "Executive Committee.". At half-past ten o'cltick all things being to readiness Mr. Kirk mounted the bench. culled the Convention to order and moved that It: I.%maltan, Kni.,.be elected chairman of the On:mention, which motion was adopted.

Mr. Oliver, from the Mst ward, morel! that .0 person be admitted as a delegate to this ourention without presenting the proper redentlals. A delegate thought this would not be good policy as It was well known that in many districts no elections bad been held and men bad been appointed to represent them, and consequently were not provided with the necessary credentials and would by the adoption of that motion be eacluded. If it was -desirable to hare a fun convention It would not do to adopt the motion. Mr. Oliver did not desire to have a packed convention. and If persons were admitted as delegates merely br handing in their names. the convention might as well resolve Itself into a mass meeting. lie was opposed •to having men come here representing no consti tputgril;end'as:filifijirt p rima ry meetings eeeen twos It was either an evidence that they had no sympathy with the movement hor did not desire to express it, and he thought thin con vention had no right to appoint delegates for them.
