The Democratic City Convention met in the North-Side Turner-Hall at 10:30 o’clock yester- day morping, and the snow-storm did not pre- vent the usual crowd of blowers, strikers, and hangers-on from attending. The * boiled shirt™ fellows were fnvited to sit on the platform that they might be scparated from the rabble, but only a few availed themselves of the privilege, sfuce it wus pecessary for them to be onthe floor to advise the delegates how to vote. The assemblage was called to order by John Mattocks, who named Firman Church for tem- porary Chairman. _ THIS RAISED A DREEZE among Colvin’s triends, several of whom jumped up and said they could not be bulldozed,—they wouldn’t stand any such tricks. From this it was inferred that Church was a Smith man. Mr. Church, however, seized the gavel and struck the table vigoroasly, and then said that, baving been * elected,” lie was cntitled to the position and accepted it. He Loped they all had one’ object in view—the nomination of honest and cconomical men for officers. During his brief specch, Mr. Church was told to “shutup” and ‘sit down,” and ope dele- gate shouted out that he (Church) was not “act- ing with the voice of the Convention.” Hans Herting and D. A. Stitt were chosen Secretarics. CREDENTIALS. A. C. Stronz moved thata Committec of fifteen on credentials be cppointed by the Chair. ‘This nlso set the wind a_blowing, and was hooted at.- = * Ed Cullerton excitedly moved as an amend- ment that the Committee consist of one from each ward, and tnat each delegation select its member. A mistake had already becn made, he said [the eelection of Church] and he was sorry for it; and he hoped his amendment would pre- vail. [Applaused--.. _ . b e o 255 Some one moved as a substitnte that & COm* mittee of five be appointed. 4 Cullerton thought his plan was the proper onc; it would give entire satisfaction. The substitute was laid on the table. Story did not want the delegations to sit in judgment upon themselves. That was not dem- ocratic. The amendment, however, was adopted, and after several *kicks ' aud charges of skuldue- gery, the following were announced as consti- tuting the Committce: Michacl Brennan, F. G. Hayne, Pat O'Brien, Frauk Benz, William McNeill, E. F. Cullerton, William OConuell Pat Rafferty, Fred W. Lewis J. H. Burke, A. Van Buren, AL F. Barbier, James Dalton, Peter Larsen, James McGuire, Wendell Noel, James Suliivan, Jacob Thielen. 1t took the Committec.an hour and a quarter to fix up the contests, of which there were half- a-dozen, and their adjustment was satisfactory, double delegations with half a vote each being admitted. On motion of Gus Van Buren the temporary was made the permanent orgavization. Malcolm McDonald moved that a CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE be clected, to consist of two from each ward, one to serve for one year and the other for two yeara—each deleeation to name its members. A delegate moved as_an amendment that the Comunittee cousist of five from each ward. He said there wes a zood deal of trouble over the Cummittes, and there should be a fair repre- sentation of all the Democracy. ‘Tuc amendment was ot asreed to. The original motion wus concurred in. . ‘The following were chosen: First Ward, An- ton Berz. David Thornton; Second, H. M. Shep- ard, W. J. Bryer; Third, 1. E. Goodell, Georze Ring; Fourth, George' W. Hotaling, Frank Biniz: Fifth, F. Harrison, W. Tracy; Sixth, E. F. Cullcrton, ¥, Donovan; Seventi, Jobn McNal- 1y, Thomas Fitzeerald; Eighth, James O'Brien, Pat Kafferty; Ninth, J. S. Cook, C. B. Bartlett; Tenth, A. C. Story, John 0'Congor; Eleventh, T. E. ‘Courtney, J. J. Bryant; Tweltth, S. D Baldwin, W. H. Condon; Thirteenth, Joe Cal= lnghan, James Pyne; Fourteentl, B. Donnelly, P. Muller; Fifteenth, Dr. Cook, Aatt Franzer; Sixteantn, Martin Doyle, Fritz Freudenberzs Seventeenth, Peter Hansborough, John Swee- ney; Eighteenth, Frank Agnew, V. C. Turner. James Burke said the evil had been that the City Central Committee went out-of ofiice a few days before election. To remedy that, he moved that the new Committec serve one and two years, the term of onc-half to expire May 1, 1873, and of the other May 1, 1579. This was agreed to. "The Chair then announced that nominations for Mayor were inorder. . SMITIL Malcolm McDonald wisbed to place in nomina- tion 2 man who was well known to _every labor- ing manin_the city,—a man whose interest had been {dentificd with the labomng classes; who ‘was known to the commercial meu and bankers of the city,—a_ man who had Ived in the city for years,—had grown up Wwith it; a man who had” always veen a Democrat, 8 man that they could vote for and clect,—one that they could ail look to and honor and respect,~Perry H. Smith. [Applausc:] COLYIN. Frank Agnew wished to present_the name of 2 gentleman well known in thecity, 8 gentle- man who bad filied the position of Mayor, o man who was the r man’s friend, and hon- est—Harvey D. Colvin. [A;plnusc, and a voice om the gallers, * We don’t want him.] DOOLITTLE, JR. Otto Herting had been requested to put in nomination o man well xnown to all,—J. R. Doolittle, Jr., a geatleman who, by his tirmpess of character, his integrity of purpose, his mani- fold _cducationzl attainments, and his social standing, was eminently fisted for the dignified position; a gentleman who was popular among all elements of the population. [Applause.] No other names being_inentioned, a motion to proceed to ballot, and that the first one be informal, was agreed to. . An efort was’ made to have the first two bal- lots informal, but was hooted at. THE BALLOTS. The ballot resulted os Tollows: Doo| Ward. Smith. Colcin. liitie.| Ward.. 1 3 3 11 Bluant unt A Total 76 The first formal ballot resulted as follows: Ward. Smith. Colcin. | Ward. Smuta. Colein. [3 & Doolittle got one vote in the Thirteenth. The vote given above contalns all the % changes ” made after all the wards haa been called, Smith having recelved a majority and the others who had voted for Colvin and” Doo- little zeing over to him with a rush. Gus Van Buren moved that Smith’s nomina- tion be made unanimous. 2 ‘This was objected to because the vote had not been announced. The Secretary read the result of the ballot. Van Buren’s motion was then agreed to, but a large number voted ‘“No.” Mr. McDonald moved that a committee of three be appointed to inform Mr. Smith of his nomination. It was :fim to, and the Chair designated Mr. McDonald, Frank Aguew [taughter], and Gus Van Buren. They weut out to find him. CITY TREASURER. The Chairman _announced that nominations for the office of City Treasurer were in order. A.C. Story nominated Thomsas Brenan—a man belonging'to a nationality who were Dem- ocrats from choice and who had a oreponderat- ing vote in the Second Congressional District; a man of experience in the oftice, and who could. get any amount of bonds. [Ap, ¥ C. V. Dyer placed in nomflmuon Clinton. Briggs,—a nan whose record-spoke for itself. [Anpl:mec.]] g Awild Irishman from the Fifth Ward, re- joicing in the name of Porers, arose and declar- ‘ed that it was with an open, smiling countcnance that he placed in nomination the name of a kife- long Democrat—Joln Forsythe. More applause was bestowed on the delegate’s hizhfalutin speech than on the presentation of dr. For- sythe’s name. . " Col. Baldwin nominated R. E.

By this time the Committee sent out to wait upon the nominee for Mayor came in, bringing the blushing candidate with them. His appear- ance was heralded with applause. He was in- troduced by ex-Sheriff Agnew, who said_that, while be had opposed Mr. Smith with all his power, he now took C%x‘en pleasure in presenting the next Mayor of . [Applause:] When the applause b outy Mr. Smith stepped forward and said: GExTLEMEY OF TIZ CoNvExTION: In appenring before you at this time, I can assure you that. fully appreciate the high 2nd distinguished honor you have conferred npon me in making the nomi- nation to which I amcalled upon to respond. It was with the greatest reluctance that, under any circamstances, I would consent to have my name used for any office. I certainly desired nome. It was only after great perenasion that I would permit m yname to be used; znd it will be with the great- est distrust of my ability to carry out the desircs of you, gentlemen, for reform and good govern- ment [sizns of surprisc by Mike Casey and Ed Buras], in case the nomination yon have made to- day meets with the approval of a majority of the City of Chicago. [Applsuee.] Itis with a pratefal heart, however, that I tender you mow my most” sincere ' thanks for this generuus, unanimous, marked expresaion of your confidences and, g0 far as it may lie within _my power, Iwill carry oat your justand honorable ntention with reference to the conduct and management of the ailairs of the clty. ‘There are ono of two words (L swilldetsin yon but 2 moment, for I know the busi- ness rou have todo) thac have become a sort of trick—reform and economy. My 1dea of economy . doea not coincide with the great extent to which it hs been carrled in certain directions. For fn- stance, with_reference toone of the departments with which I have been_connected—the common schools. This very building in wiich you are has in its upper story school-rooms for children. Within two blocks i3 another - building occupled for school purposes that 13 a disgrace to Chicao andsto civilization; and amother is rented as an adjunet to the Ogden School. I am more familiar pervonally with this Department than with any other. 'The city is renting buildings. and this shows the necessity, to carry out the ides of educating the youih, that the structures that have been ordered (manyof them were put in the estimates a_year agy) should be erect There- fore, 50 far a3 economy is concerned, 1t I8 economy to pit up buildings o that the youns can have re- spectable places to g0 to. As to -reform, my idea i3 to cut off every expense that can be done with prudence. I have been informed, and presume that most of you belicve, that there are many vlaces n the ity Government that are merely ornamental. 1do not attribute this to the present Administration, for Lthink u world of good bas been done by the present Board of Aldermen. Reform should be in depopulating the city toa certaln extent. There are a number of individuals roaming around the streets who are confidencing innocent men from - the country, that it woald be just as well if they left. _(Datchy Lehman, Jim Gurton, and Ed Shaw —+twell, here's going back on a man’s friends.” To that cxtent, I think the people of Chicago coull afford to have their city reformed. But will de- tan you no longer. 1 assure. you, shomld 1 be elected, that 1 wiil carry ona Government that il be repatable, and that I shall never disnonor the nomination you have conferrcd upon me. [Applause. ] The speech tell rather flat, especially among the bully boys of the envelope game and the sweat-cloth, - Afr. J. It Doolittle, Jr., was called npon and made s “‘few brief remarks.” A Democratic candidate had been put forward for Mayor, and he would call on Democrats everywhere to rally to his support. While MIr. Smiths iccas on some questions did mnot correspond ex- actly to his own, be could assure the various nationalities that they would reccive recognition at the hands of the next Mayor. That he _was to be the mext Mayor was plain—by 5,000 majority. Mr. Doolittle denounced the Repub- lican party for its attempt, as he put it, to separ- ate the Germans from the Irish, and of course, s good word to say for the Democratic as the party of the people, the whole people, cte.gete. All that was necessary was for every ‘ma to buckle on his armor aad go forth to the battle. [Applause.] Somebody toolk the hint and picked a dele- gate’s pocket of three pawn-tickets and'a brass watch. - CITY ATTORSEY. The next business was the nomipation of a City Attorney. An irresponsible idiot named Lewis nominated Patrick McHaygh, a2 gentleman, whom, he said, had drawn_in Dcimocracy with his mother’s milk. Gus Van Buren seconded the nomination. ~Charles Fanning, Charle Camcron, Tom' Coffee, A. T. Ewing, and W. J. Jiynes werealso placed before the people. The informal ballot resulted as aonounced: Hynes, 63; McHugh, 53; Coffee, 13; Fanning, 17; Ewing, 10; Cameron, 10. The actual Rallot cast varied considerably from these figures, and was more favorable for Hynes. Mr. Ewing withdrew in favor of Mc- Hugh. Cameron came forward and sald he had come to the conclusion that his timehad not yet come. He was satistied witn what his friends had done, and was guite ready to withdraw his name, lor lic didn’t want the office anybow. If the Con- vention wisted to have a mau of the nationality which seemed to be in theascendancy they could do no bett:r than to vote for Pat McHugh. [Hisses and cries of **unfuir.”| Mr. Fanning came forward, and bad fi!ten as far as to say that his name had been pl be- fore the Convention, when a voice shouted out: “What is your name#’ [Laughter.] Mr. Fanning went on to state that e was sat- isfled. with the evidences of support thus far. shown by bis friends, and he had concluded to withdraw in faver of P.
