have a committee Of five appointed to make the
nominations was voted down. and ballot for
| common councilman resulted in the choice of
| Dennis OKeefe, who had 30 votes, all that were
cast, the minorityof the caucus to The number
OF fifteen or twenty declining to vote when they
ound they could not have their own way MI.
Edward K FiSke was one Of these, and withdrew
from the caucus after the ballot, declaring him
self not bound by its proceedings in view OF the
secretly organized movement which controlled
it, Mr.. John B. Pratt also took the same view,
never having seen such an outrageous thing at
a caucus during forty years Of active life. How
ever, the meeting went on little further, the
majority being under the lead of Mr.. John
Henry, J. j. Tanning and several other active
workers, who were very ready in giving UNI
asked advice to the chairman. After COM
mittee of three had nominated Thomas Hickey
for school committee, the caucus concluded they
could do nothing further to advantage and
adjourned sine die, the chairman, MIR. Mctcalf,
declaring that it was entirely immaterial to
what time they adjourned, evidently relieved
that his labors were concluded, and probably
more disguised than when he retired from the re-
publican caucus last Tuesday night, because that
was controlled in somewhat similar manner,
though to different purpose and result.
