again interrupted Nm. Jeffsris
| The chsir--0rder, order, gentlemen
Mr.. Jeffsris has the floor.
But Mr.. Jeferis was about through
He concluded as follows: 81 know i
sounds all right to say 'let's break ur
the city ring.' But II good man once
gets to the front and wants to stay
why let him stay. Them's my senti
ments."
The chair--Now gentlemen, be care
full, all your words will be reported and
spread before the people in the papers.
Mr.. Quinn followed In q speech. He
knew Mr.. Jeffsris to be an unhinchine
Democrat, but his speech had been
rambling, and not germain to the ques-
tion--the appointment Of the conferences
committee by the chair. He did moi
like to see things too quiet, and went
on with the motto, "No fight, no fun"
So far as Harry MoIntirs is concerned
he knew him as well as any one in the
room did. He is an able young man
and he did not think as politician he
has his equal in Wilmington.
Mr.. Mellon interrupted the speaker,
and Mr.. Turner said he thought nc
personalities should be INDUCED in.
The chair requested that no personal
illusions be made.
Mr.. Quinn was resuming when some
one called the previous question, and
the call was seconded. ~ think you
should give Mr.. Quinn . chance" said
Mr.. Farrell. But the crowd would not
listen to anything Of the sort, and the
motion was put and carried for the
chair to appoint the committee.
The chair appointed the committee
as follows: Messrs. q. C. Turner, E.
c. knight, W. Il. Quinn, Charles Can
non, Francis MoCloskey, John J. Tonor,
Frank Kane, Edward Mcguire and
August Bickta.
On Mr.. Quinn's motion the Secretary
WAS instructed to notify the members Of
the conference committee Of their ap.
pointment. r. f..
At this point q little side show took
place between Messrs. Mellon and
Blake. Bow 1t came about no one
knew, and what called attention to the
affair was Mr.. Mellon loudly exclaim-
ing, "Blake you should not act so dirty.
Did you ever know me to do a dirty
thing. ! took my part, and, by c.,
can do 1t again."
"Oh 60 out, retorted Mr.. Blake, ap-
parently anxious to prevent a distur-
banoe.
"Clear the way and I'll go out but
don't talk that way to me-" was the
answer. And then the matter was
dropped.
E. J. Kelly offered the following reso-
luton
Resolved, by the City Democratic Associa-
ten, that the action Of the Executive Com
mittee in ignoring this Association meets
with our unqualified disapproval. 80
Enoch Moore, Jr., moved that it be
laid over for one week.
Mr.. Kelly spoke in support Of the
resolution, saying that this is the City
Democratic Association, composed Of
all the Democrats in Wilmington. AT
it's last meeting the association elected
officers of the Executive Committee, but
the committee refused to recognize
them, and instead Of treating the Will
mington Democrats like gentlemen,
treated them like dogs. We want to
show them we know when we are in
suited. They met the next night and
held a meeting, and gave IL out they
would let Martin Farrell and his disor-
ganisfkg gang 60! We are not disor-
ganize7es hut are desirous Of Democratic
success, and believe that Democratic
principles are what will make the land
free. We, the Democrats Of Whining
ton, do not want to be treated in this
manner and moreover will not be Cap
plause.)
A man opposed the resolution on the
grounds that there would still be time to
condemn the Executive Committee II
the Committee on Conference failed to
bring about reconciliation.
Mr.. Turner made an address, saying,
81 NOW hope that all th5t has passed
between the two factions SailB he healed
with satisfaction to both .ides. I think
it would be well enough 10 postpone
the thing. The situatiQf'is hot enough
and for Gods sake don't make 1t het-
ter"
A voics-''Let II ,beil."
Mr.. Turner-"Waa fill you hear the
rtport Of the ConfereF,fe Committee and
then throW on all 'tHs reolutions you
choose" .; :.
The mot n to lay the i, solutio,
the table was carried. -
Mr.. Mellon moved that th6S NJ
be instructed not to 60 outside IL 4r.r
of the Association in their effor !
Mr.. Turner demonstrated. ~ he
said he, "that you will not fetterSYl
in any way. A report "
be duly made and If you don't Il,
You can vote,it down." III
"But we propose to hold aldsd \
rules" said Me. Mullen. "TS ~ III

Mr.. Mullen had i l$t word. "We !
want you to kpos he said, "thls
you need not bling, . report ID here
that in any way conflicts With the
rules"
Mr.. Farrell now cal, Va M. Blake tol
substantially as follpYat :L
'I am free to confess Tia. 1 am sorryI
that the adoption Of the 6ss by this
association should be The occasion Of so
much loud talk and corner wrangling.

being done in spirit which does not
auguf well for the success OF the ticket
