T.R. Lally said the Third Ward propose
to hold their election in the Water Witch
Engine House. He thought the election
should be held in the precincts of the
ward, and there ought to be free and fair
ballot instead of packed meeting. 4 r.
Mr.. Baugh stated the reason for so doing
was to save expenses.
H. r. Pennington said he didn't want to
see any ward disfranchised at the State
Convention. The County Executive Com
mittee have decided the time and place for
our delegate election.
Squire O'Niell said the Third Ward
Democrats acted 90 through ignorance, and
to save expense. He also said that some
person went to the HERALD Office, and said
they were going to put up q job. A very
severe editorial appeared In that paper CEN
suriag the meeting, e 1rF
e. g. Turner asked Mr.. O'Niell whether
1t was customary to hold the delegate cleo
tion in this way.
Mr.O'Niell said 1t was done at times,
and at other times in precincts. ~ :
P. Ford here asked for information in
regard to judges. He said there had been
judges elected in the ward. ..'.
James ,McGlinchey said each ward was
allowed to elect Judge, and each candi-
date eaSrepresentative. ""s
DIO'Niell thought that the wards having
elected judges have insulted the dignity Of
thetparty. In the Third Ward three judges
have been appointed; in others one has been
appointed. This appointment of judges in
wards is job. He knew in one ward
where the three judges represented one
candidate. .sIa sar
Peter Ford said the judges already elected
could not be displaced.
The question was further discussed by
Messrs. Quinn, Robinson, Pennington,
Turner, McIntire and Brady.
Joseph L. Carpenter moved that each
ward be instructed to appoint Judge and
two assistants, and to allow each candidate
to appoint q representative. Carried.
II. G. Turner moved to rescind the reso-
luton allowing candidates to appoint
judge. The came gentlemen moved to
insert the word Representatives, }" instead
of judges. Carried.
The meeting then adjourned to meet on
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, to receive
the returns from the delegate election.
After the meeting the City Executive
Committee organized by electing the fol-
lowing officers:
Chairman-H. B. McIntire. rf
