Chas. M. Foote moved the adoption of the
report.
D. B. Johnson took the floor to protest
against the adoption. Being one of the men
on the contested list of delegates which had
been thrown out, he wished to know if the
delegates not seated by the report of the COM
mittee on credentials had voice, or would
be given an opportunity to make any ex-
plantations.
The chairman answered that those who
had not been allowed seats would be given
the floor. Mr.. johnson continued:
Gentlemen of the convention: You have
this day conformed to q ruling viii Oh not all
the Democrats of the city will abide by. In
the first place the caucus in the First ward was
sham and fraud. If it comes to a pass
that man who has been honored by posi-
tons by the Democratic party for seven
years, and he can then declare himself an in
dependent candidate for mayor and
be endorsed by the Demo
cratic convention, as the can
didate of beer singers we want to know
it. Some of his friends have packed the
caucuses. No one can dispute the fact that
twenty-seven hackloads of people were taken
to the First ward from the west side of the
river. The caucus was regularly adjourned
and two-thirds of the citizens withdrew and
ho11 1N,,t n 81
has been rejected
Mr.. Morse explained that it appeared that
the majority of the vote of the First
$50, and there was no evidence that
showed, although it was evident that fraud
had been practiced, that the results had even
changed. The majority being $50 it did not
appear to the committee that the Irregular
ties were extensive enough to have changed
the result. The question of the adjourn
ment of the First ward caucus had been
given full consideration. 1t was evident
that motion to adjourn had been made and
that it had been declared carried without TAX
ing negative vote, which was manifestly
unfair and illegal. The caucus continued in
session and elected delegates, which dele
gates the committee conscientiously believed
entitled to seats.
THE FIFTH WARD.
John Everard wished to explain the matter
of the troubles of the Fifth ward caucus. 1t
was noticed by those working for the purple
ticket that there were more yellow tickets in
the caucus than there were people. Then
they put up job and withdrew and selected
delegation which was declared elected with
a shout and rush.
Mr.. Merrick, of the First ward, arose from
the center of the hall and stated that the
statements made by D. B. johnson respect
ing the regularity of the adjournment of the
First ward caucus were totally untrue. The
negative was not put, and the motion was
entertained when a vote was being taken.
| Harry Burke said if fraud had been shown
| in the First ward caucus, the difference was
little, even though the people who came
from other wards did not outnumber those
| of the First ward present The chairman
was interrupted by man who jumped upon
| the platform and turned the caucus into a
mob. The motion to adjourn was in order
! and it did not matter whether the negative
was taken or not. 1t was declared carried
| by the chairman and that adjourned the
caucus.
A FEW WORDS TO DEMOCRATS.
| Col. Glenn wanted to say few words to
the Democrats. He said, 81 want to state
to the convention, as near as can remem-
Der, the conduct of those who voted at the
First ward caucus. 1t is alleged that those
twenty-seven hacks were hired by Glenn,
and filed from the boiler works. Two hun
dred and eighty-f taxpayers of the First
ward denounced the caucus the next night. y
The difficulties of the caucus were detailed by
the speaker. ga gentleman who occupies 6
seat in this convention as delegate from
the Third ward jumped up in our caucus and
shouted give us new chairman
That man is Levi German. The respecta
BILE Democracy of the city has been overrun
at all the caucuses. There are men in this
hall who will tell you that mob took posses
sion of the hall at the Third ward caucus and
run it. You have done just what we expect
