"Eow, Mr.. President" exclaimed
MI. Mcguire, what We want to do is not
to cause s split In the Democratic party
of the Tenth Ward, aud TO prevent
such a thing we should select number
Of men, and at the regular nomination
let them stand a chance for being
nominated with those candidates who
are selected by the Democrats who
meet over Hilton's store"
Peter Ford objected for the reason
that II a "number" Of candidates were
selected by then the other portion Of
| the party would run but one man, and
his nomination would undoubtedly be
the result. "What should be done, "
said he, twas to secure tho solid vote OF
the club for Mr.. Shaw"
John g. Doyle arose and with stem
toriAn voice accused the Democrats, who
meet over Hilton's store with being a
ring. He then glided from one subject
to another, and Notwithstanding that
he was frequently called to order, he
continued speaking for considerable
length Of time.
"Nr. President" shouted several
men, "whst is the object Of this meet
ing :"
NessYB. Ford and NoNul!y sndeavor
ed to explain, but no one seemed to IN
derstand the explanation.
Mr.. Maguire asked Mr.. HcNulty what
course would he pursue if Mr.. Shaw
was not nominated.

ticket" was the reply.

any reply, nor deigned to stop.
Things becoming calmer man asked
"WhSt was the object Of the meeting'"
The President replied that he did moi
know.
"What was the object Of the hrs
meeting :" continued the interrogsser
The reply Was as equally tnlighten
ing as the other.
Mr.. Sweeney moved that the club re-
call what had been done, and elect

| by the Ward Executive Committee.
II candidate was elected in such
manner and his name was handed in Il
the City Democratic Association, It wal
Thought that they would be recognised
ss the regular Ward Democrats whilst
those who met over Hilton's store would
be merely regarded as faction or mob
The motion finally prevailed but
there were several dissenting voices.
A motion TO adjourn was next In
order.
