FoURTH VAR
Here was the tug of war, for here livos
the miniature John Kelley, j. j. Fralney.
There was q large gathering, but the
nkalirg rink, the place of meeting wore a
fitting look of gloom which two or three
smoky lamps fought in vain. Mr.. Wells
named IS chairman, Robert Peroival,
who was declared duly elected, the few
nays heard from Fra,ney's dark orner
not being deemed sufficient to NAL the
unanimity of the choice. On motion of
E. A, Troutm,n, Edwin DaKay was
chonen secretary. MI. Troutman then
moved that o committee Of
three 10 named by the chair to
name eleven delegates. Mr.. Frainey
moved to amend by voting
by ballot, but the chairman paid no at.
tention to the aonorous voice, although
loudly seconded by a young man named
Calvin. w. III. Ware heard 1t, however,
aud moved to table the amendment, and
this WAS declared carried and the motion
although Frainey KEEP calling for
a division of the house, 1t wes not ev-
Fraines's night in, but his night
out, and while he was shouting about a
clique, with Perclval at tho head of 1t,
the chairman named the following as the
committee: w. 81. M. Pusey, j. A.
Murphy and M. d. Hardin. This COM
mittee soon reported through Congress-
man Pdsey the following delegatsa: j..
Ell. Keatley, Robert Percival, W. G.
o. p. Wickham, j. r. DIETRICH,
George Jacobs, M. D. Hardin, E. A.
w. III. Ware, j. Shoenlgep,
Gus Bergman.
Congressman P0sey In reporting the
names made o neat little speech, in which
he spoke Of tho fact that personal liberty
wac to be the Issue In Iowa. The motion
to sdopt the report was greeted by
Frslney with o yelling motion to lay the
report on the table, but the chairman
failed to hear him, and the report was
adopted. While Troutman was moving
to adjourn, Fraiuey was yelling about the
will of the people being thwarted, and
the voice of democracy being choked off,
and calling for another meeting, and so
on, but the adjournment was carried,
and the turning out of the lights began.
THE MEET.
FraIpey and Calvin, one and insepsrl-
BILE, rushed to the front and begged the
use of tho kerosene lamp long enough to
hold a meeting. There were about q
dozen who tarrled, and Others were
drawn In from the street, 30 that at last
twenty-five were to be counted. Frainey
suggested to Calvin that he should call
the meeting to order, and then Calvin
named Frainey for chairman. After
much perauading Fratney was induced to
accept, and he made a scsihlug speech,
In which he denounced Congressman
Pussy, as never attending a aucua ex-
cept for some perEonal scheme. He de-
nounced the previous caucus os a
gang of conspirators, and Percival as not
q true democrat. He claimed that Per
cival never voted q straight ticket, but
always picked his men, and took care
never to pick an Irishman.
On motion of Calvin, @. Wesley was
chosen secretary. On mosion of Calvin
tho ballot was taken FOR delegates, and
the announcement was made that fifty
three ballots hid been cast fcI tho fol-
loving, the ballots being printed,
evidently with malice aforethought to
give the dear people a chance to select
without much trouble; +, y. Arl1es nn,th.
G. r. Mitchell, p. !. Mcmahon. John
Jay Frainey, j. III. Patton, j. Apple, G.
Wesley, VIZ. Calvin, j. A. Churchill, j.
O. Cudmrre, A. Doerhinger.
NOT FOR VAUGHAN.
The chief features Of intereat attached
to last nights caucuaea was the fact that
Mayor Vaughan has the gubernstorial
bee In his bonnet, and has been working
hard to secure a delegation from his own
city favorable to this ambition. Frainey
Calvin and Patton have been ~enthuslas-
tic, but the opposing democrats claim
that Vaughan only secured two In the
First ward, five In the second, one in
the Third and none inthe Fourth, max
log only eight out of the thirty seven.
Vaughan's modesty does not prevent
him however from clsimiDg six In the
First ward, seven In the second, three In
the Third, and all the conteatipg dele
gates in the Fourth, making sixteen out
tide ol the Fourth ward.
