THE CAUCUS.
Our reporter was forced out Of the cat
gus of the ''onts" as the regulars" call
hem, but he managed TO "catch on" to
some things that took piacs.
There was muoh . nscuss,hn
most important WAS as TO
how TO conduct the convention which
meets tonight. The programme agreed mp
on was that Mr.. Sheffield cnsirm.n OF the |
CITY executive committee, wac To cell the
meeting 10 order. Il was conceded thet
there would be- two sets OF delegates from
each ward present, bot lem
porHrg Chairman ana temporary stcIc-
tary was to be elected from |
lie mass Of delegates present. Then a |
COMMITTEES on credentials ard committee |
On permanent officers is to be appointed,
he committee on credentials, of course, to
repori first. Here is where the sickness OF
the caucus work comes in. The call for the
city convention says each ward Is entitled
to five delegates, that is five
votes. The regulars, or .iDs," as
they call themselves, only elected hve
d legates frora each ward, while the
. as they are called, elected ten dele
gates from each ward. On general aye |
and nsy vote of both delegations for tenn
porary officers, the outs" having two 10
ops delegates. will beat the '.ins,'" as they |
have two one delegates. Getting tenn
porsry Craftsmanship, "out" committees on
,rediden,ials and permanent officers Will be
,puointed This would leave the 'ins" In
