This morning q reporter of this paper
visited the Ninth Ward in order to see
what action the Ward Executive
Committee intended to take for the
remonstrances Of Mr.. Darmon who was
defeated by Martin Farrell at the nom.
ination election on Saturday in the con.
test for Council. In conversation with
a member of the Executive Committee
he states they met last evening at the
lower end of the Ward but had trans
acted no important business. The
member was Of the opinion that the
contest would be settled satisfactorily
between the members of the Commit
tee.
In regard to the case being contested
before Council as mentioned in the
Herald" this morning, the member
said that it would be impossible and
the only thing that Dorman could do
is to announce himself as candidate
for Council, in which case he would
said the member, "be the means of
breaking up the Democratic party in the
Ninth Ward.'' The member was of
opinion that the remaining members of
the Executive Committee would stand
by the nomination held last Satur-
day.
In conversation with several we'll
known Democratic politicians Of the
ward they were of the opinion that if
the Republicans would come out they
will elect their men. Thomas Mousley
informed the reporter that he was an
indedendent candidate, yet was unable
to say whether lie was for two years or
the one year term. Mr.. Mousley says
that he is willing to run on the ticket
with Col. Febiger. He thinks by re-
[ceiving the Democratic and part Of the
Republican votes that he will be elected
sure. .F-........... d.
In conversation with one of Mr.. Dor
mans supporters We were told that Mr..
D. intended to contest the nomination Of
last Saturday, on the ground that sew
eral minors voted for Farrell.
The Republicans stand a good chance
of electing their ticket, and in conver-
sation with members Of both parties all
thought that Col. Febigsr would be
elected to Council by good majority.
The Democratic executive committee Of
the Ninth ward will hold a meeting this
evening, when this question Of contest
it is thought will be settled.
