CRATs-BARGAINING DENOUNCED.
The three Democratic factions held their County
Conventions yesterday and carried out the bargains
made at the conferences In the Park Avenue Hotel
IN regard to the division of the patronage that VIII
result from Democratic victory at the coming
election. The bosses" had no great difficulty IN
making the delegates ratify the agreement as to
the division of the spoils. The candidates were all
fixed upon in advance, and it did not take long TO
90 through the form of making nominations
though some time was consumed in speech
making and in communicating the RESULTS Oh ono
conventions action to another. .
Mr. Edson's nomination met with no opposition
except in the County Democracy convention .no

patty and would be apt to be misled oy deSisniuS

their dependents. There was some commouon

Irving Hall Convention was called together as

sons nomination tor Sheriff.
There was "a good deal of disgust exhibited by
respectable Democrats outside of the conventions
over the ticket nominated. and especially the
TRANSPARENT bargains and DOsslSm which charac-
teriz9d its makeup General regret was shown over
the Success OF the Democratic leaders III breaking
nm the citizens movement as foreshadOwed In 1 HE
TRIBUNE or yesterday. Many Democrats asser!
that had Allan Campbell been made che ctlzens
candidate for Mayor and "lndorsed" by the he
publcans hls election would have been almost
certain. 49,
1t is probable now that the Republicans will name
an uneXcep tiOnabe ticket for city offices. as the
machine leaders have not the same desire to put
themselves forward that they evinced when there
was a probability of prohung by the citizens
nomination for Mayor. A ticket made up or aDIe
men free from the faint of " bOsslsm," good judges
assert, would stand fair chance of election anu
would be worth many votes to the State ticket.
The Democratic bosses" who have effected
secret bargains to the disposition OF the city Off
ces for the next two years, are already arrogant ana
defiant and threaten to expel Mayor Grace from the
State Committee because he has dared to hit hls
hand against the machine. AT the same time
County Clerk Butler, Commissioner Caulheld and
others are TO be read out of the party.

speech made year two before by Mr. Anderson. the
chairman Of the convention, in which ne said that the
County Democracy could never meet with Committee
