BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY.
The meeting as usual in cases of high
excitement could not be fully reported.
The REPUBLICAN was the only daily
that had u representative present and
the story told above is given just us it
took place. Both sides made charges
and only those that do not stand in
need of veritication are given below.
The Higgins men make Il NUMBER of
claims, and charges. They declare first
that the meeting was packed by the
Bird men with Democrats from the
Bayard Legion, the Phoenix Fire Com
pany, the Delaware Fire Company, and
the Delaware Division Of the Philadei-
phia, Wilmington Il Baltimore Railroad
second, that it was the intention of the
Bird men to break up the meeting, that
they came for that purpose, declared
their intention 10 this effect, and acted
in way intended to iIcite to riot and
disorder; third, that the action of chair
man Pickles was fair in every particu-
lar, that he could not decide in view of
the diSorderly and COwardly condition
OF the meeting and that the adjourn
ment was fairly carried and was
necessary.
Now these chargeSappcar to be borne
out by the facts, and the first assertion
that the meetin was packed is amply
proved. Large numbers Of Democratic
runners Were ut the meeting and crea-
ted disorder and vOted-tOr which side
it not lnown--of course, but the public
can judge.
The Bird men vey properly claim
ell that the first trouble was caused by
Mr.. Pickles, Saturday night week, when
in appointing the committee to select
the city Executive Committee he only
named one Bird man Mr.. Hawkins who
Indignantly resigned.
Mr.. Bird says that overtures had been
made two months ago by members in
his faction to George w. Stone, chair
man Of the County Committee, and to
Mr.. McLear, of this city, but that both
gentlemen had refused to accept them.
They were made, Mr., Bird says, with
view to harmonizing the best interests
of the Republican party.
1t is stated that Judge Fisher, Il. G.. |
Smith and Richard Harrington were in
town on Saturday Some Importance
may attach to this visit in connection
with the result of the meeting.
The Higgins men adjourned to meet
on Saturday night next. The meeting
will be held in Institute Hall most
likely and all Republicans will he in
vited to attend and help selecta Repub-
liCan committee.
THEY MIN THE DISTRICTS VI.
The Executive Committee is badly
mixed, so far as ward representatives
go. First ward men represent the
Third ward, and vica versa, and there
are men from the Tenth representing
the Eleventh. Mr.. S. d. Duncan, rep
resenting the First Ward lives in the
Third. This shows that the committee
was arranged by some one who does not |
know how the new wards lie.
Again, Charles Jordan named in the
Third Ward, lives at No. 1O6 West Fifth |
street. in the First ward Thomas
Cloud, lives at No. 41O West Sixth,
in the First Edward o. Sicox, lives
1t No. 302 Harrison street, in the Tenth
ward, and William Ellis lives in the
First ward in Tatnall street, above
Sixth.
