that he is honest, that he is capable. that he is loyal to the city and country, and for that reason we doutit if the Republican party can place in nomination a candidate who can serve the city of Boston more faithfully than he has. or who can be more loyal to the Constitution ot the United States.

John H. Dee next rose and read a motion as follows: "That a committee of Eye from this convention be appointed by the chair to cenfer with a like committor from the Republican city committee, for elturpose of nominat- ing a non-Partisan school committee, which shall be placed upon both the Democratic and Republican ballots at the ensuing election.

which ticket shall contain the names of candidates without regard to sect or political affiliations. and whose fitness for the position will recommend them to the tmited support of all our citizens." Alderman Murphy Meard From. The motion was greeted -with great applause. and when it had subsided Alderman James A. Murphy arose and said: There has been much bitterness exhibited in'the strite and dissension among the citizens of this good eity as regards the education of its youth.

Now, sir, I believe that resolution is a step in the right direct on. I believe that yre should meet the other party and consult and advise with them, in order that we may do the public rood and give to those who seek to create dissensions a severe and a sharp set-back. Now. sir. I was educated in the public schools in Boston.

A graduate of a grammar school, a graduate of a high school. and during all the time I saw nothing there which was wrong, nothing but what was for the best interest of the children sent there to be educated. I can look back to those days with the best on feeling', and I can look back to my classmates. and I know neither their faith. their belief.

or anything of that kind, but today, as we are growing old. we meet and greet each other with the best of feeling and the best wishes for the success of all. think, sirs, should be continued. that I claim should be our motto. that we should all grow up, all be taught to love our country and love each other, and wish lot the good and prosperity of all.

Now, Mr. President, it Is fitting and proper that we put the Democratic party in such a position that they, as well as those opposed to us, shall go to the polls with a ticket which shall meet the approbation of the citizens of Boston. We have opposed to us the Fultonites and Minerites, many of them in this country but a short time, naturalized but a short time. who desire to run the public institutions of the country. We have in our ranks many who are among the best friends who can be found for the public schools of the city of Boston.

Ex-Alderman Lee's Speech. Mr. John IL Lee said: I heartily second the motion which has been made by the gentleman on the other side of the hall. I believe that every gentleman here believes in every word contained in that motion. We place ourselves in this position to show to the people on the other side, who are appealing to the prejudices and Passions of the people, that we are not among those who are opposed to the public school system of today.

Mr. President. they are misled in their tuition if they believe that the Democratic party of Boston is opposed to the public school system. You may go through the Democratic wards today, and you will find that .99 men out of every Die will say, "Protect our public schools." (APplausea But they will go on and anneal to the pre ii.dices and nassions on one side. and Probably a few on the other, and incite this feeling, that the Itemoiiratic party as a i party opposed to the public" schools.

"We are in accord with your views. and we are wiiling to meet you half way so that gentlemen may be selected for the school board without distinction ot race, color, or (Applause.)

I trust that the motion made by the geutleman from the Bunker Hill district will be passed unanimously. M. M.

Cunniff moved an amendment in the following words: "I move to amend the motion so as to read that the President of this committee, together with ti.e comaottee of live. le a committee of conference with a like committee from the Republican organization."

At this point Hon. Patrick Maguire arose and addressed the convention as follows: I desire to rise to a personal explanation, and yet, in some WISO it is hardly necessary to do it, but I think in ustice to myself and the members of thiscommittee that I should do so. About a week ago the Evening Record pieuted a column article and in cue Portion of it, it said, speaking of the different caudidatos for the mayoralty, it saidnow I wouldu't bring this matter up only for the fact that several people called my attention tole and sotrie unthinking people might thiuk there was some. thn e. in it.

and I wanted to anus their 1111MiS of that now and for all male. The Record said: "Now. who do you thine that Patrick Mae.uh'e wolf el be very likely to seleet to throw down Mr. O'Brien? In the first place he WOnhl be a rich man." Wel if I was going to do it I think to would. "In the second place would' be a Democrat." I dont find anY fault with that; that is ccrta nly true.

"In the third place he would be a Democrat who has the faculty of getting vote." That is true. "In the fourth place be would be a Demecrat who has a chance to tap the le money bags on the hack Ear who are in accoid with the Democratic patty on account of free trade. but who are net in favor of so much oven spoliation of the ta)payer as has been going on in the Go, Hall tor the last three years. and here is the man; that man is the Hon. Leopold Morse." Now I want to say here that They never had any conversation with Hon.

Leopold Norse (-r any fe-end of Leopold Morse, nor heve I had any conversavon with any man who has had a candidate for the mayoralty. I have never spoken with Leopold Morse excePt once in oe-o months, and that was in the presence eli a dozen gentle. men. I have no desire to seek another caudidato becauee kik honor informed me scene time ago that he would be a candidate. that he weuid be likely to be a capdtdere.

A Conference to Nominate the School Board. Holt Patrick Maguire Explains Away Recent Insinuations. Boston's Democracy thundered forth the opening' gun of the present municipal Campaig-n last night, when the city central committee convened for the nomination of a mayoralty candidate. The convention was held at the Melonaon, and the full attendance and enthusiasm manifested afforded a sufficient earnest of the determination of the party in Boston to once more do its duty. All the leaders and the men prominent in the rank and file were there.

The proceedings were marked with the greatest unanimity. After speeches, appropriate and effective, Hon. Hugh O'Brien was unanimously renominated amidst rounds upon roueds of applause. This action allowed bow strong Mayor O'Brien is still in the hearts of the people. John P.

Dore was unanimously renominated for street commissioner. A motion offered by John H. Dee of Charlestown, for a committee of conference on the selection of a non-partisan list of candidates for the school hoard. afforded opportunity for several delegates to emphasize the friendship of the Democratic party for the public schools. Remarks of Hon.

Patrick Maguire, concerning certain strictures published by a Boston paper. were heard with interest. Mr. Maguire referred to his fealty to the Democracy in season and out of season, and his loyalty to Mayor O'Brien from his youth up. and amidst defeat and victory has never wavered.

The convention was called to order at about 8.30 p. m. by President Thomas Jackson Barry, with Edward Reilly and James Donovan officiating at their posts as secretaries. With little formality the reading of the records of the previous convention was dispensed with. The leading work of the evening was reached in less than five minutes after the convention was called to order, when young Lawyer George R.

Swasey of ward 12 arose to bring the nomination of a candidate for mayor to the consideration of the committeemen. Lawyer sevaseyos Speech. Mr. Swasey said: "One of the duties of this committee is to make a nomination for mayor, and in performing that duty this committee owes a duty to the Democratic party of this city, and a duty to the city. NV believe in the Democratic party; we believe in it because it is nearest to the people and nearest to the interests of this city.

While we believe in the Democratio party we believe still more in the city of Boston and its interests. We believe in its institutions, in its schools. and all the things which render it one of the most beautiful cities of the country. This committee, as the representative of the Democratic party, has given to Boston some of the best mayors it has ever hadGaston. Prince and O'Brien (applause)and under the leadership of the last named gentleman the Democratic party of the city of Boston hes done whet has been done for no other city In this country, and it has a record under his leadership of which any party or organization might be proud.

One of the things which Is closest to the interests of a great city is the taxation. We all know how for manv Years prior to the election of Mayor O'Brien wealthy men were driven from this city by the high tax rate. and we know how one man in particular. who was pronehly known to many members of this committee. was driver' from this city.

and look with him an hip rneuse property: and we know bow. within the last four years. his estate has maoe investments in this city which it did not dare to make before, and how it has remodelled one ot the finest structures in this city. and has just completed one of the most extensh build'nes in the city; and well mielit it do it. for.

With that rate of taxation we are erecting one def the most magnificent court houses in that country.

1 Buck Ewing Furnishes Boston's Epitaph. Eilral2 a itchell Eanqueted by Iew redlord Frit Ids. Dartmouth Kickers Defeat Williams by 38 to 6. That Boston will have a gnat club next season is an assured fact, even should they fail to work through the big deal. Richardson and Ganzell are two as valuable men as the Boston club could have secured.

Both are good batsmen. and will help the club in just the positions in which It was very weak last season. It is hoped on every side that the directors will succeed in securing Brouthers and Bennett. The was informed by Tim Keefe a few days ago that the New York club was willing to give big money for the star catcher of the Detroits, as they would like him to handle the fast delivery of Ed Crane. "If money willget him," said York will come pretty near having Bennett." "I understand that President Day considers his team strong op ough just as it is." said the writer.

'He would like Bennett, and then the Giants' would be complete. Ed Crane will be a great pitcher with a man like Bennett to work with," answered Keefe. As Boston can find room tor just such a clever workman as Bennett. the New York men should keep their hands off him, that is if they are as anxious to see Boston strengthened as they pretend to tie. Ben, nett's great value is in remembering the different batsmen, and few catchers in the business can coach a pitcher as he can.

Buck li.yring has this to say about the home team for next season: "Boston will have a strong team. but is not likely to be a successful one, as it will be filled by the same star features that have damaged it for the last two years. A big mistake will also be made there in placing Dan Brouthers on first base in place of John Morrill. Dan is only a little better in the way of hitting. but at playing the position I consider Morrill the Finest In the Country." There are some good polsits in what the New York captain says about the team, but when he says it is a mistake to change Brouthers for Morrill at first base he is away off.

Brouthers. Anson and Connor are the most valuable men in the profession. These three can play first base to perfection. It would be a most difficult matter for one to pick out the best batsman of the three, and more difficult still to pick out a player in the land who could hold his own with any one of the three. Anton.

Brouthers and Connor are three of the greaest batsmen ever known to the hosts bail field. Notwithstandingthat Captain Ewing is well up in the game. any sane man must admit that Dan Brouthers is just the man to ll the bill for Boston next season. Tie Cincinnati ciub has started. out in a business-like way this season.

Every man signing a contrac'; with that club will have to agree to refrain from drinking intoxicating liquors during the playing season Some peonle will look at this move as being entirely uncalled for. To those who have undertaken the unpleasant duty of managing a ball team for a the action of the Cincinnati club is in the right direction. Boston suffered on several occasions last season from the inability of some of their best players to play good hall, caused by Too Much Drink. A newspaper man who would indulge in too much liquor and inatair his usefulness would be discharged without ceremony. Why, then, should not a ball player be dealt with in the same way? They get big sal.

aries and are supposed to keep themselves in fit condition. A few of the players are "copper-lined" and can stand a lot of booze. If the players now getting good money for a little work would take warning by severa' examples set by the league this season, they might learn to keep straight in the business and save a few dollars yet before It is too late. It is surprising how one man in a team can ineuence the rest. Some men in the Boston club last season would never think of going off until they were ineuenced by one or two of their more independent brethren.

who had no fear of Manager Morrill. Captain Anson of the Chicanos had a novel way of treating the men of his club who imbibed too freely. Flint of the Chi. cagos was laid off for weel-cs at a time last season, and couldn't understand why Anson faded to put him in to play. The cause of his lay-olf was simply this: Anson would size him un from day to day.

and was "dead on to him," as the boys say. He knew that Flint was lying when he said he had not been drinking. Martin Sullivan wss another of the promising players to make a bad mistake last season by imbibing too freely. Chicago has no use for players from this out who can't keep in condition. President Day admits that his team won 1 the championship of the league this sea.

1 son by abstaining from liquor. The Giants" were a remarkably temperaie crowd of boys. and seldom showed up with I swelled beads. Let the home team make it one of the provisions of a player's contract that he must keep in good condition. both at home and away, tnid require him to forfeit a good sLce of Ids salary whenever he comes around with a big head.

There should be no room in the league for "lushers," and the sooser they are bounced the better for all hands. MUILNANIL TILTICENIEN IN SESSION. Annual Ilfeetinz of the American Turf Congress. NEW Yonx, Nov. 14.The American Turf Congress met at the St.

424,230 GLOBES were printed and sold Wednesday, Nov. 7. WHAT SAYS THE HERALD? The genera' public are distinctly Interested in having the truth told concerning newspaper circulations. Leaders and advertisers are Mike imposed maul and defrauded whenever they are led to believe that the circulation of any paper which they patronize is larger than it actually is. An advertiser who is thus deceived has his nicmev taken from him under false pretences'.

If lie Haines he is Paying for communication a stated number of Jerson when in fact be is not reaching nearly Fo many, be is duped. The general reader is also practised upon and dishonestly dealt with whenever be bas a false claim of large circulation thrust before him. -Largest circulation" means a great man thiligs that aro of importance and value to the average reader. "Largest cIrculatiuu" implies the best news service from all parts of the vi orld, the largest outlay for telegraphic and cable despatches. the hest equipment of type and mechanical accessories.

the fastest presses and the largest number of them, and the most Perfectly organized system of delivery and distribution. Thorefore, if ''largest circulation" is claimed where only 'second largest" Is actually hold, the average reader is misled as to the actual quality of the newsnaper service for which he pays his money. Ile Intends to buy the best, but second best is put off upon hinu by a trick. it therefore, a matter of general concern hether the Boston Herald or THE Bosrom Osamu has exaggerated or misstated its circulation. The day after a national election day is a test day in the matter of rapid and effective newspaper service.

The "largest circulation" on that day is a practical certificate from the people that the paper having it gave them the quickest, most accurate, and altogether best reports of the great event for which they were eagerly waiting. And if it gave such service on that day it is fair to presume that it gives it right along. On the Thursday morning following election day THE GLOBE announced to the public that it had printed. sold and delivered on Wednesday. the day after the.

election. editions aggregating a total of 424,230 copies. The Boston Herald of the same date made no announcement of its aggregate Wednesday circulation. But on Thursday afternoon, having had THE cgures before it for half a day, the herald came out with the claim that its circulation on Wednesday. Nov- 7 was 441.738 copies.

flatly. we do not believe the for-aids statement to be true. In other columns of Mit today, we spread below the public a number of facts and tires which, we submit. fully justifies our disbelief in the truthfulness of the Herald's claim. Replies received to a circular sent out to trustworthy correspondents give us actual returns of over cue-half the total sales of CI tones and Heralds all over New England.

These returns am not selected: they include city and country newsdealers. cover thousands of street and railroad depot sales. cemelioni far and near. and are fairly entitled to acceptance its an honest indicator of the ratio of circulation between the two papers. These returns.

DEATH OF HON. JAMES R. CLARK. Brief Sketch of Hie Extended and Useful Career. Hon.

James It Clark of this city. died at his residence, 17 Claremont park, Nov. aged 66 years; the immediate cause of his death beiug bleed oi8on in He had been in failing health for over a year. and several months ago was seized with a severe attack of erysipelas, from which lie never fully recovered, and Nvhich finally resulted fatally. Mr.

Clark was born in New Ipswich, N. IL. and was the son of the late Deacon John Clark of that place, a man who was extensively known, and very highly esteemed for his many excellent qualities. In early life he learned the trade of watchmaker and jeweller in his native town, and sulkefluently worked several years at the business as journevman with the late Albert Wakefield ol Great Falls, N. IL.

and Dun-lee ezt Parker of Manchester. In the year I st52 he went to Bidnelord. where he formed a partnership with Charles A. Shaw, which continued for 14 years, under the title of "haw Clark," a firm which was among the earliest and most extensive manufacturers of sewing machines, and at one time uearly the largest advertisers in the country. In the year 1869 he removed to Boston, and became a member of the firm of Clark Brown on Charles street.

where he established the extensive hack and livery business now carried on by the firnfa successors, Kenny Clark. and front which he'retireil with an ample fortune so eral years ago. Mr. Clark was distinguished for his modest and tinai-suming mannert4, boundless generosity. kindness of heart and unswerving integrity in all the busineee relations of CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.

Bow little be thought. when he provoked that 'Boston massacre." that be would ever have a monument on the Common. and right on the Tremont mall. too! Ile is not the only American who Lai made history without meaning to. Why shouldn't the others have monument? New York ought to raise a brazen shaft to the memory of Brother BURCIIATID.

Washington should compliment Lord SACK. in the same way, and Chicago should preserve in marble the form and features of Mrs. O'LEARY and her cow. There is hardly a city or town in the country that couldn't furnish an eligible candidate for monumental honors on the CHISPUS ATTUCKS plan. THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The Democratic city committee took commendable action last evening with regard to the school committee nominations. By a resolution unanimously adopted it chose a committee of Bye to confer with a like committee of Pepublicans for the purpose of nominating a non-partisan list of school committeemen to be voted for by both parties at the coming election. The Democratio party thus itself to an earnest effort. in the words of the resolution. to nominate for the school committee "tickets which shall contain the names of candidates without regard to sect or political affiliations.

and whose fitness for the position will recommend them to the united support of all our citizens." This course will be approved by all true friends of the public schools. If the Republican party will adopt this proposal for joint nominations for the school board the schools can be taken. as they should be. entirely Out of the arena of party contention. The complete separation of politics and the public schools, in whose efficiency and welfare all citizens are equally interested.

L4 above all things desirable. The Democratic party has taken a practical step towards securing our schools against either partisan or sectarian control. We trust the Republican party will accept the suggestion in the same fair spirit in which it is made. There ought to be a union of all public-spirited citizens to tare the schools out of politics and keep them out forever. MAYOR O'BRIEN RENOMINATED.

The Democratic city committee last night fulfilled the expectations of the friends of good government throughout the city. It unanimously nominated once more that representative Democrat and thoroughly excellent Mayor, Hon. Iluon O'BRIEN. It is an honor which Mayor O'BRIEN has well earned. Boston never had a better mayor.

During his administration the city's affairs have been managed with conspicuous ability, purity and dignity. The Property-owners have reason to appreciate him for the low rate of taxation he has given them; the lowest that is consistent with the proper administration of the public business. The people at large. who are not heavy tax-payers. appreciate him for his manly.

honest administration, and for the highly satisfactory conduct of the public business under his control. How much the citizens and taxpayers owe to Mayor O'BRIEN was well shown last night by Mr. Swazire in his admirable summing up of the Mayor's official record. During the first year of his administration the tax rate was but $12.80 on $1000; lathe scwond year, $12..70: and in the last two years but 613.40. These low rates have no precedents in the history of the large American cities.

The effect has been that capital is no longer driven from the city by high rates of taxation on every species of property. On the contrary. the low rate has attracted capital hither, stimulated Improvements. given better etnployment to labor and a greater impetus to business. or has it prevented liberal expenditures for public improvements.

A magnificent court house is being erected. A great bridge is in process of construction across the Charles river, which will open up direct communication between the whole of Middlesex county and the southern part Of' Boston. Stony llronk being improved at large expense, so that there shall be no more danger of disastrous floods. The city is erecting the greatest public library building in America. And the creation of a great system of public parks is fairly under way, which will make Boston even more deserving than she is today of the title ot the most beautiful City in the states." Well might Mr.

SWAZVT say that this record "appeals not only to the Democratic party. but to every good citizen of the city of Loston. and tliat the city Democrats would be unmindful of their duty to themselves and the city if they did net give Mayor 011antEN a renomination.
