Show SAD SPECTACLE tho convention that met yesterday to nominate candidates for the city offices have done well in their choice of men though there may be a few who are dissatisfied with the result of the convention the great majority of the peoples party we feel convinced will approve and support what was done there ia no disguising the fact that the convention was a stormy one that there were some who through composing a very beall faction of tho assembled bled delegates would not submit to the final on amo to tho choice of the majority that would not appear so bad however if there were a vi prospect of their subsequent reconciliation but it was a most unfortunate occurrence when one of the number that held out so stubbornly and unreasonably started up and excitedly and viciously proclaimed that he would use every energy of his mind and body to defeat the election of the man nominated for mayor by a vote of nearly four to one it was a sad spectacle he had been elected at a primary to act as a delegate tu tha convention he had no more rights than any other man elected at the same primary or by the same constituents he had no business to ox peck that ho was of any greater importance in that convention than any delegate elected at the primaries of the other wards he was simply a delegate with one vote and it was unfair on his part to expect that because it was HE that was sent to mingle and confer with twenty seven other candidates that he should run things and have everything his own way the people who sent the twenty seven other delegates had no idea that the twenty eighth man would assume to direct and control the rest every delegate had his own ideas and preferences and when he entered the convention room ho expected to vote as he felt disposed it was a little too much therefore for ono man to assume that his choice loust be the choice of the rest hence wo say that it was a sad spectacle to seo a delegate so forgetful of the interests of the people who sent him to that convention as to proclaim that he would help defeat the ticket they sent him to assist in making |
