Meet at the Baliot-box.
1t is now a settled fact that the two Dem
ocratic factions in this city, known as tn
" Big Ten =" and Little Six" will measur
swords at the primaries to be held to
morrow. Both factions are strong in tn
belief that they will carry the day. TIL
Second Supervisor District held two meet
ings last night to select forty-one delegate
to the Convention, to be voted for at tn
primaries. The Little Six" held thei
meeting at Armory Hall, which was at
tended by about lbs representative Demo
Gratis. The big Ten" marshaled thei
forces in Turner Hall, and numbered, al
told, Just 81. This count was taken b.
three Democrats, who are willing to swea
TO its correctness, and say that 1t included
all there was in the hall, Republicans anC
| reporters thrown in.
THE ARMoRY FALL MEETING.
The meeting of the Little Six was called
to order by James c. Kelly, who, in a few
| brief remarks, stated its objects and called
| for nominations for Chairman.
Andrew Black placed in nomination
| Richard Singleton. Seconded by D.. j
Considine. There being no opposition te
Mr.. Singleton's candidacy, he was elected
by reclamation.
j, Delhante, Jr.. was unanimously chosen
Secretary.
James Carroll moved that a committee Of
eight be appointed by the Chair, two from
each precinct in the district, to select forty
one names to be voted for as delegates,
Carried.
On motion of a Democrat. whose name
All ~on1r&1r Gas1aI M catOh tho chairman
was added to the committee.
The Chair then named the following
committee First Precinct, A. Black,
James C. Kelly Second Precinct, ID. ].
Considine, Frank Smith; Third Precinct,
P. H. Cofey, W. H. Rexford Fourth Pre-
cinct, James Touhey, J.. Carroll, Jr.
The committee then retired to an adjoin-
ing room to perform the duty assigned,
while those remaining entered into a gen.
eral discussion as to the probable outcome
at the primaries. Such remarks as We'll
show the kid-gloved fellows who can work
at the polls" How many times has the
Big Ten got to be whipped before they
will throw up the sponge?' We'll beat
them four to one do they want the
EARTH ETC., were frequently INDUCED in.
When the committee returned to report
standing room was at a premium, the Of
ficers' headquarters would not begin to hold
them all, and the hallway was crowded
with a large number of Democrats who
could not get within earshot of the Secre-
tary, who read the names of the chosen
Democracy in a loud tone of voice.
At the conclusion of the reading James
Carroll demanded that the names of those
from the Second Precinct be read again.
He said the meeting could not afford to
ignore the representative men of that pre-
cinct, and they would not stand it. The
obliging Secretary read the names asked for
BY James Carroll, and, his name not APP
pearing among the chosen few, he TX
claimed, THAT won't do. Let us go to
Turner Hail." The obliging Chairman
asked that the ''gangway" be cleared to
allow the egress of Mr.. Carroll. He was
certain that if Mr.. Carroll did not wish to
remain there was no one holding him.
Mr.. Carroll made his way out through the
crowd and was seen no more. He was the
mover of the motion to appoint the COM
mittee to choose the delegates. The Chair
had departed from the customary rule OF
placing the mover of a motion upon the
committee, had ignored Mr.. Carroll entirely,
and when the committee also left him out
in the cold, he concluded that the atmos-
phere surrounding the Little Six" was
entirely too frigid for him, and wandered
toward Turner Hall in hopes of finding it
more ~congenial to his taste. With the ex-
eeption of this kick the business of the
meeting passed off tremendously. The fol-
lowing are the names selected by the COM
mittee, and which were adopted by the
meeting:
First Precinct-Wm. Coyne, B. Ferant,
James G. Kelly, Adam Cole, ]. A. Leiva,
