The thermometer in Magistrate Bra,
dy's Office In the Telegraph Building on
Saturday evening registered just 900.
Not q breath of air came in through the
windows and the sixty democrats there
assembled mopped their flushed faces
with unwholesome bandannas and
famed themselves continually with
worn straw hats. The respectable Demo
cy was but slimly represented, and
those Of this class present took but lit
tie part in the proceedings.
Squire Brady, chairman Of the last
City Association, called the meeting to-
order, and, by mutual consent, was al
lowed to act as temporary chairman.
This was the first mistake OF the meet
ing, as will presently appear.
CRUSHING M'INTlRE.

that that gentleman be elected to the
position. No one else was nominated
the question was put. A few feeble ayes
we're heard, and anticipating no opps-
sition, the would-be Secretary stepped
up with alacrity. Just then the other
side Of the question was put and the
crowd in the back part Of the room
bawled "No, no, no." at the top Of
their voices for q full hall minute.
"Just as you will, gentleman" re-
marked M. Mclntire as he returned
and resumed his seat.

we're heard and the negative votes we're
considerably diminished.
Chairman Brady, seeing that oil
would have to be pleItifully distributed
over the troubled waters, arose and
said that they had met here to organ

create contention. Let them who shout
"no' make q nomip alton and elect
their man.
William J. Morrow was nominated
and elected, the only voice heard In
opposition being the squaky treble O.

THE MEETING CAPTURED.

Gallagher nominated Martin Farrell
, , for President Of the permanent organi
zation. No other nomination waI
made, and Mr.. Farrell was elected viv'
voce. The amusing formality of ap

new President to the chair, the com

Mr.. Farrell on taking the chair spoke
of gratitude and fairness and concluded
as follows: "It gives me pleasure II
state that on this occasion, If any doubts
were in the minds of either American O.
