THEY WILL FIGHT IT OUT.
Che Leaders of the Democratic Revolt
Declare that They Will Not Yield.
Bynumites Are Unwilling to Make Any Con-
csssiOns, and Say the Bailey Movement
Will Not Hold Together Long.

The bitterness of feeling between the two poiit-
calfactions-which, since the revoltin thursdays
convention, arraying them In organized opposi-
,tion to each other, are now designa0eo 40 sne
Bynumites and the Bailey Democrats-nas
not changed any yet, and there Is
no prospect of the two being again
brought together although the Bynumites are
boasting that within two weeks the sbolters"
will either abandon their candidate, or Bailey
will be induced to withdraw. leaving the field to
Bynum. They evince no disposition to make
any concessions for the purpose of
bringing about reconciliation, but
they seem to regard the opposition move
ment as a weak one which will fall to pieces
simply from its own lack Of strength. They
manifest the same stubborn and unyielding
spirit that they did in the convention,
and seem TO rejoice over the with
drawal of the ''boiters" rather than regret
the disruption. The assertion is boastingly
made by the Bynumites that the 'bolters,'
whom they generally allude to with a sheer, will
have good cause to regret in the future their ac-
tion on Thursday. and this is interpreted as
meaning that some Of the leaders in the revolt
ing movement have dug their own political
graves, if the Bynumites come out of the fight
on top. as they now seem TO confidently believe
that they WILL
The leaders Of the revolt still declare, how
ever, that they are in earnest in their fight, and
that they will do their utmost to down Bynum.
They feel that they cannot withdraw
their opposition and leave the field
to the Bynumites who SO arbitrarily and AFRO
sanity overruled them in the convention with
ont great humiliation, and that as matter of
pride, as well as for the purpose of rebuking
tbeir opponents for the injustice which they
were made to suffer, they win continue the light,
they declare, to the day Of election.
+, BYNUM's BROKEN PROMISES
A prominent Democrat talked as follows to
Journal reporter yesterday: "What Bynum said
about Hendricks Is mere pretext among those
who opposed his nomination. The trouble large
~ grows out Of Mr. Bynum's deficiency in COM
mon veracity. Soon after the presidential cleo
ton he hunted up Cass Byfield and told him he
had been thinking about him for the postmaster
had not been thinking about it at all, and
asked a day or two to revolve the
matter in bis mind. He then told Mr.. Bynum
he would take it. 1t was no great while after
that that Mr.. Bynum told Mr.. Byfeld that he
would take the post Office away from him. He
had made up his mind to give it to Afr, Creel-
man.
One day Mr.. Bynum met DR.. Lockriags,
clever gentleman and good Democrat Doc
Tor, said Bynum, you are an old physician here,
matter over and l will give you
the place of physician at the United
States Arsenal; it will pay $500 or S400 year
The Doctor hadn't been thinking of any place,
Mr. Bynum offered, but as it would not call him
away from the city and would be nice little
plum, and pay Office rent, he was fHttered to be
remembered, and was grateful About week
after that conversation, however, it seems Mr..
Bynum went of and appointed man from Irving
ton to the Arsenal place, and Immediately the
Doctor became intensely exasperated at what
Bguum had said about the late Mr.. Hendricks"
SOME OF THE AFTER-rALK.
Cal Darnell was one of the best pleased men
in the city the day Of the Democratic conven-
ton. Seeing the confusion about doorkeepers
before the opening of the convention. he took his
place at one of the doors and took up the tickets
as fast as they were presented 1t is limited that
he let in few who didn't have tickets. He
wanted to be perfectly impartial and Offset any
discrimination that might have been made in the
distribution of the tickets. Being Republican,
he was entirely impartial to botn factions and
Ia the subsequent proceedings lent his support
to each of them. He "bolted" the convention

be the first choice Of English and his followers
an the ''rump' meeting, however, English nomi-
mated Bailey, and Rays name was not mentioned.
Raw had evidently been consulted before the con-
vention about the bolt, and had declined to allow
his name to be used.
