MozART-HALL PoLuIos-IsHARNosY AMONG THE
UsTERRIFIED.-L evening was announced for the
meeting of the Mayoralty Convention, called under
the auspices Of the Mozart Hall Democratic Com
mittee. The Convention TO consist of two DEL
egates from each election district of last year-nakng
about $50 members in all. The Convention was to be
held in the lower Mozart Hall. Wisely, the managers
of the building concluded to not give the unterrifed
an entrance from Broadway, and the patriotic dele
gates were compelled TO find their way TO the Hall
through the irregular meanderngs Of Mercer-sreet
rum-shop A dozen psicemen were detailed at the
place to preserve order-a thanlsess job-and job
which they could not and did not do. The doors
thrown open and the crowd rushed in, pel NELL heller
skelter, to the number of FIVE six hundred In the
midst of the scramble old gentleman moved that the
Convention be temporarily organized by the
election Of Gilbert Dean as chairman. The
nomination was sssented to by a vote, and Mr.
Dean made for the platform But Ex-Alderman
Billy Wilson had aspired to the honor Of the
craftsmanship and some of his friends called out his
name nominated him, and whether a vote taken
or not will probably forever remain unsoved mys-
terry. But Billy took the stand and disorder became
the order under the doublebarreled Craftsmanship. Mr..
Dean spoke. Billy Wilson spoke. They tried to howl
Billy down. but Billy kept his place, though probably
his supporters did not number 20 men, all told. But
their enthusiasm in support of Billy appalling;
they rushed the PLATFORM and put their champion in
a chair from which he quickly to continue his
speech. Billy enlarged upon his devotion to Demo
cratic principles on his love Of the party of his self
acifce in maintaining it, and his earnest desire to
them 90 in and win. The confusion probably in
creased by two or three contesting delegations, who
liked the fun, thinking il increased their chances.
Fifteen minutes thus passed. and Judge Dean beat
retreat conceding Billy temporary triumph by his
coup f6t0t. Some sang out "The true friends of
Fernando Wood will meet in this end of the room,"
and then there was movement in that direction but
Billy announced that it was a dodge of the Black
Republicans TO introduce discord into their
ranks, and that they were no friends of
Fernando Wood But Billy's eloquence did not sue
coed. The exodus became general, and Billy finally
had to abdicate and with knowing leer in hiseye he
deprecated the fact that Steve Russell candidate
for Controller last year. should have attempted to in
terrupt the harmony of the party, by bringing in
gang of rowdies to break up the meeting The muscle
was well represented. There were Tom Ferris, Andy
Shehan, Andy Mulligan, Jim Owen, jim Cofey, and
sundrv others whose eloquent and forcibe gestures
have often settled disputed points, but it is probable
that polite reasons induced them to se their yrtuous
Indignation trusting to an adjournment as the best
means of promoting the interests of the civilized
world and the faction in particular 1t is understood
tina; the Convention will meet again on "wednesday,
when effective measures will be taken TO squelch w.
