FOURTH WARD CAUCUS.
A called meeting of the Republicans Of the
Fourth Ward, held last night to caucus for
delegates to the County Convention, met in
Turner Hall. It was probably the largest
! caucus meeting ever held in this city. The
lowest estimate places the number present
from 400 to 500 Nearly all, from lack of
seats, were compelled TO stand, increasing the
difficulty of taking vote on divisions. 81.
jackson, of the Central Committee, cal lied to
order. Immediately a scene of confusion
ensued upon two propositions being made, one
to adjourn, the other to proceed to elect a
permanent Chairman. 1t was evident that
it would be impossible to select ticket to be
voted for that would be satisfactory to the
five candidates for State Senator ard the six
candidates for Supervisor. Upon the motion
to adjourn a scene of the widest confusion
ensued, those fayoring it claiming it to be
the best policy to settle the matter at the
polls, and that large numbers in the hall
we're either not of the party or non. presidents
OF the ward, and that no fair expression of
the Republicans of the ward could be had ex.
cept by long AMI tedious ballot, and
the place fer that was at the polls.
The other side held that the meeting
had been called te name q ticket and
should not adj lurn until that purpose had
been fulfilled, and that precedent to all bust.
ness Chairman should be elected. A con-
test then began bstween Felix Tracy, can.
dida.e of the adjourners, and w. H. Beatty,
candidate of the organizers. Amidst the ut
most confusion and vocfsrous protests against
the motions for ballot, the Chair declared
Judge Beatty elected. Mr.. Tracy was also
forced by his adherents to come TO the stand.
Both gentlemen spoke in favor of har-
mony OF action. and declared that they
wanted only fair dealing and an honest
expression OF the voters Of the ward.
Finally, after long wrangle, Mr..
Tracy advised his supporters that it was i'm
possible to come TO an understanding, aud
that they had better retire, which they there
upon did. Thoss remaining then proceeded
to business and adopted resolution Identical
with that reported above in the Second Ward
report.
They then proceeded to ballot and elected
the following named persons to be voted for
ST the primaries on Saturday
