was to be observed among them. In the
gallery a large numberof spectators had
gathered containing some prominent
members of the Itepublloan party the

lngraen's association. It being evldtnt
that the court bouse was not large
rnnnirh to accommodate the moment
arlly Increasing' crowd Fred Cocke
called the convention to order and Mr.

leirates and rreserve or-
aer wos carrieu.
F. N. Sanchez. A. I. Lockwood. Mr.
O'Brien and Oscar Jlergitrom were
eiecreu dv voie.
A motion for each delegation to be
seated separately was opposed by Sen-
ator Houston for the reason that he did
not know who the delegates were. He
wanted a Committee on Credentials
first.
Houston's motion was adopted.
The Chair appointed as that commit-
tee: Ward No. l.-H. K. Barnard and T. K.
Connor.
Ward No. 2-Thad W. Smith and A.
P. Rlvas.
Ward No. 3. J. C. Crawford and Sam
Maverlok.
Ward No. -I.-S. 31. Kills and F. Blp-
pcrt. Cardenas moved that the Committee
on Credentials act also as a committee
on basis of representation and perma-
nent organization.
Lockwood thousht that committee
would have enoutrh to do. and therefore
moved that a like commlttee on basis of
representation and permanent orsanlr-a.
tlon be appointed. This motion was
seconded and adopted.
That committee was appointed as fol
lows:
Ward 1 John Kosenhelmer and Kd.
Dwyer.
Ward 3-8. 0. Newton and 0. S. Wll-
llamson; Ward 3-B. Oppeuhelmer and P. II
Lewis.
Ward 4-C. It. Nash and J. II. Snive .
Before the nommlttee on basis of rep-
resentation retired the Chairman called
u. a. iviuiamson or mat committee to
him and conferred with him.
A great deal of confusion occurred.
wuue me process oi seating tne dele-
gates In their order was coiner on. W.
IV. Ilerron movcil that lh lrialili.nt
'ask thai delegation from each ward to
seieci a unairman wno snould act In
uiai capacity ior eacu waru.
Bergatrom moved that this he post
noned.
During the absence of the committees
judge uevinewas called upon to ad'
dress the convention.
The gentleman refused stating that
they had come to work and not to talk.
A committee was appointed to conduct
him to the chair but they reported that
they were unable to dp so.
A. W. Houston waa next called on
and refused. '
Bergstrom was also called upon with
a like result.
A spectator excitedly got up and said
"as an Independent cl.lr.en of the city I
move that Lafayette Walker be asked
for a speech." Murmurs and orlesol
alt downfall down waa the answer that
Independent one received.
'William Ferguson waa then called up.
on by U. F. Fly. he statins that Mr. Fer
guson never refused to address a con.
veniion
Mr. Clay tor: There is another gen
tleraan who never refuses to make i
spceob. and that la Mr. II. P. Fir.
The Chairman ; 'Whea a newspaper
man refuses It is no use asking anybody
else. 1 think this Is the most modest
convention I was ever at in my life.
.Uergstrom moved that General Buss

Chairman; I don'tthlnk that Is the
obleot of the motion ill
''The. Chairman forJhe Committee on
Credentials entered the hall and aald the
committee desired to see Senator A. W.
Houston from which It was supposed
that a lively contect was going on to de-
!. ...J? Jurl- ueiegaiion to sear irom
the Third ward.
It was some tlmcbefore the Committee
on Credentials reported but did so by
recommending that all the delegates he
seated Including the contesting aelega-
tton from the Third ward. That was a
hard slap for the Hon. Senator Houston.
Houston moved that the report be

Oao. S. Wiluimox
Chairman Committee on Credentials and
Basis of Representation.
The report was adopted.
Mt. Cocke was escorted to the chair I
by the committee appointed for that
purpose and made a speech Inveighing
against the self constituted Committee
of One Hundred.
Houston oflered a resolution that the
two-thirds rule be adopted In making

Houston acaln offered a resolution
that any candidate presented for nomi-
nation should be pledged that he will not
be a eandldate In the event he Is not
nominated and that all delegates sun-
port the nominees or retire from the
convention.
A delegate1 rose to a point of order.
but the Chair did not entertain It.
A motion was made to table the reso
lution.
Mr. Williamson: Mr. Chairman he.
fore that motion Is put. I move that we
hear from Judge Devlne.
"A motion to taoie is not uouaiauie"
was the cry.
Mr. Claytor who made the resolution
to table withdrew It for the purpose of
allowing Juuge uevme to speaar.
Judire Devlne then sooke in favor of
the n solution roqulrlng pledges.
Ferguson rose to heartily support the
resolution.
Jlol.eary also wished to support It.
The motion to tabln waa niraln nut
and lost and the original resolution was
adopted.
Crawford said that as that resolution
had been adopted he hoped that any
ueiegaie wno uoes no. inienaio support
the nominees would Just walk out.
Seven or eight delegates then walked
out amid yells and hisses. After the
noise caused by these seceding delegates
had ceased Cardenas ollered the follow
ing resolution:

McLeary moved .that this series of
resolutions be referred to n committee of
seven to consider the report as It was
In the nature of a platform.
It waa amended by Williamson that
the committee should consist of eight.
A further amendment was also offered
by Judge Devlne that the Chair t'.iould

prevent a deadlock. These amendments
were all carried.

Dr. Howard said that Colonel II.
King would not stand In the way of any
one nominated by the convention. The
Doctor thereupon eulogized Colonel
King as a life-long Democrat and honor-
able gentleman who would not lend
nimseu to ine committee or one nun
dred.
Crawford moved that the thanks of
tne convention be tendered to Colonel
King wmcft waa carried.

The renort nf t'.in Committee nn Tlnm
Obstructloni In the river was called up
and Schrelner said In regard to the Nat
Lewis uam mat me proprietors Iiau re-
ceived permission from the city and as
Bolton said It was understood that the
llerrltt dam was to allow sufficient water
to flow to prevent a nuisance. He did
not know whether the promise of -Mr.
Merrltt had been complied wltb. He
thought the Laux dam should be re-
moved and other portions of the river
deepened In order to allow a free flow
of water. He thoueht It would be a
disadvantage to the city to destroy tbe
Merrltt dam though he believed that
proper nooa gates snouiu oe put in to
give a free flow of water at tbe place.
Smye said he did not believe In taking
one dam out and not tho others. He
wanted a general sweep or nono at all.
Lockwood said tbe city had permitted
Merrltt to erect bis dam and he did not
see bow they were going to get It out.
He did not think the dams a very serious
objection. He moved that the whole
matter be referred to the Board of
Health.
Pauly declared that ample provision
bad been made to flush the river at Mer-
rltt's dam. The Board or Health had
said the dams were not detrimental to
publlo health aad I do not for one pro-
pose to go back on that decision.
Schrelner said It was no use for the
city to try and reroke the rights and
privileges they had granted to these
parties.
Story then made a lengthy speech
against tbe Merrltt dam and all other
dams In tbe river. He regarded the
question aa of more Importance than any
other which tbe Council has ever been
called on totackle and declared that the
river was a perfect quagmire for three-
auarters of a mile below the Merrltt
am and be hoped the Council would
not pass over It lightly.
Pauly asked Story It there were not
flood gates In the Merrltt dam. He
knew there bad been when he had made
an Inspection.
Story said there were two there but
they were never raised.
Hambleton gave It as his opinion that
If tbe flood gates were kept open at tbe
Merrltt dam the river current would be
sufficiently Urge hi the bend of thu river.
Belknap asked what was tho motion
before the Council.
The Mayor said the matter was open
for free discussion.
Lockwood said he did not like to con-
sume so much tltio on the dam question
but would say that If tho flood gates
were kept opes thero would not be
force enough. We want manufactories
ca our river nnd ve aro now putting
ourselves on record as being opposed to
datas In our river. He believed the
only dam which had a bad Influence cn
tbe river was the Lewis dain. He re-
newed bis motion to refer to the Board
of Health and tbe City Engineer.
Smve opposed such a course for the
reason that the Board aeted on It once
before but had kept It In stutue quo lor
six months and the present City Engi-
neer had acqdlesced in the present re-
port before the Council.
Mavor French deprecated action at the
present time for tbe reason that tbe city
would soon have a new city administra-
tion and It might undo what bat been
done.
Belknap agreed nllh the Mayor In
that view.
Story said he was wllllnir to defer to
i a snecltlo time but It was a Question
I raised by the present council tome of
i wnom inigui not ue returneu ana lie
