cetve the Boilers Back.
Chairman Farrell called the City
Democratic Association to order in Mag
istrate Brady's Office Saturday evening
and said that he bad been requested TO
ask that the turbulent stamping Of
Democratic feet usual on such occasions
in expressing approval, be dispersed
with as 1t loossned the plaster in the
building and disturbed the telegraph
operators in the room below. The tenn
psrature was decidedly high for the
stove in the back part Of the room was
red hot.
The room was crowded and those who
came late were obliged TO stand. Look
ing about the room Mr.. Farrell noticed
the REPUBLICAN, reporter awkwardly
handling his note book in limited space
afforded by standing room between two
overall Democrats.
"The newspaper man." said he

Conside derable confusion ensusd and
the few McIntire Democrats in the room
objected to this which was nothing
more or less than ignoring Of the rebel
lions Citv Rxecutive Committee. A
tumultuous vive voce vote was taken
and the chair being in doubt division
was called.
Amsn mounted on bench clamoreus-
ly called for an explanation Of the ques-
tion and Mr.. Farrell gave him what he
wanted in this style, "The question,
gentlemen, Is to sustain the Associa-
tion. In other words, that the nine
Wards Of the city now in revolt against
the Democratic party, shall not be re-
cognized by the Association, and that
az long as they are in rebellion they
shall be ignored"
A drunken man with bloated face
and short-croppsd hair here staggered
to his feet and with numerous eloquent
gestures commenced, "Allow (hic) me
