Immediately Sanitary Inspector Powers and Police Clprk Jensen objected on the ground that Judgo Dee Is not a Republican, Republi-can, and claimed that the convention had no right to consider his name The matter was taken to the chair, who put it to a vote, and "by a vote of twenty-seven to twenty-one the convention decided that the Richard Croker of the Third ward was an ellglblo candidate. Powers thou moved to adjourn, but the convention de-Blrcd de-Blrcd to namo a candidate to run with Dee, but Powers objected, and refused t6 nominate a man until Dee's naino was withdrawn.
