DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES.
The City Claimed for Tabulator Chase
and w. G. Davis.

| The caucuses were we'll attended last night,
| in some cases more Democrats turning out
| than for a long while back. In some wards
| there was feeling and complaint that the
caucuses were packed, and this was noticeable
| in Ward 3. In Ward an effort was made to
| pass resolution endorsing the nominees but
| it failed. There were lis votes thrown in this
ward, which was solid for Pierce in the Dis
trict convention, and Chase-so it was said-in
the State convention. Ward 2was divided be-
tween Bradbury and Chase in the State con-
vention and solid for Pierce in the District.
In Ward 3, after the balloting was over, Mr.
| William Webster rose and said he thought
when he went to the caucus he was attending
Democratic one, and not packed Greenback
affair. He had voted the Democratic ticket
for the last time. Mr.. Josiah Chase, Jr., and
others also expressed their distaste to the way
matters seemed to be carried on. The ward
was claimed solid for Davis and Chase.
In Ward chairman Perry called the meet
ing to order and appointed three Davis men to
receive and count votes. To this Charles Nc
Carthy objected, claiming that Mr.. Pierce
ought to be represented. Mr. Perry then ap-
pointed Mr.. Tobin, Pierce man, in place of
Mr.. Burleigh The ward was solid for Davis
and Chase.
In Ward 5 the Davis men circulated a ticket
with, among other names, the name of Lewis
Pierce-who does not live in the ward-as a
delegate to the District convention. This tick
ct was elected. Then Mr.. D. H. Ingraham
moved that each man elected have power to
fill his vacancy if he could not go, and the mo-
ton was adopted. Now the Pierce men claim
that nobody can fill Mr.. Pierce's vacancy but
a man of hts choice.
Ward went solid for Pierce and Bradbury.
In Ward there were 90 votes poled, and
they had a hot time balloting. Deehan says
this is the last time he will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket if his side did get the victory
in this ward. Half the Davis men were elect
ed on the third ballot and on the fourth
the otheI, which settled the ward for Davis and
| Chase.
