THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
r. S. and C. W. Carey the Bosses OF the
Unterrified.

The Democratic Central Committee me-
at the Golden Eagle Hotel last night tc
complete their ticket. A majority OF the
committee was present, and the absentees
were represented by proxy. The first bus
mess in order was the selection of a candi,
date for Police Judge. The friends Of
Judge Galloway and those of Judge Henry
both spoke in their behalf. Some of the
committee thought they saw their way Out
OF the dilemma by dropping the two
favorites and picking up a dark
horse in the person OF Dan L.
Alexander. This, however, did moi
suit the adherents of Judge Henry, who
expressed a determination to stick TO him
and settle at once and forever the vexed
question. A motion to postpone was voted
down. On roll-roll, Judge Henry received
s votes, Judge Galloway 5 and d. +. Alex
ander 2. Judge Henry having received a
majority of all the votes cast, the Chair an
nounced that he was elected and stood as
the nominee of the Democratic party for
the office of Police Judge. An attempt to
make the nomination of Judge Henry
unanimous was 'nipped in the bud by
Isadore Townsend, who objected.
As soon as the nomination was made a
1 COIllullltG Vi IhO was ONdAANA w
Judge Henry OF his nomination, and the
other members took a short recess. The
news of the action of the committee soon
spread, and it was the almost unanimous
opinion of all in the neighborhood of the
hotel that the committee had acted wisely,
and in nominating Judge Henry had
! partially atoned for the fraud per-
petrated in the Convention. There
were three exceptions to this, however, in
the persons of r. S. Carey, g.. w. Carey
and G. w. Nichols. They were dumb
founded at the announcement q. w.
Carey was loud in his imprecations against
the members of the committee who should
dare to vote for Judge Henry, when they
knew that he was opposed to him. He
used epithets that were strong indeed, his
illusions to them were of the strongest
bar-room vernacular. and he was not afraid
to let everyone hear him. He declared that
he had a roll call of the names, and those
who voted for Judge Henry were his
meat - he would fight them for twenty
years. Their scalps were his, and should
dangle at his belt. He was exceedingly
wroth his anger knew 10 bounds, and he
consigned to political oblivion and eternal
damnation all who assisted in putting
Judge Henry upon the ticket. r. s.
Carey, the father of John T., the can
didate for State Senator, took the
latter aside and told him that he must i'm
mediately resign from the ticket. He de-
manded, even threatened, that it must be
done, declaring he should now fight the
ticket from top TO bottom. After r. S. and
G.. W. Carey had fully expressed them
selves, they left for their homes utterly dis
gusted, with the understanding that John
T. would go before the committee and
withdraw from the ticket.
In obedience to his fathers imperative
demands, John T. Carey went before the
committee and made a feeling, sensible
and manly speech. He regretted exceed
ingly the circumstance which placed him
in such an awkward and unenviable posi-
ton. He spoke for over an hour, and
his remarks were listened to with
marked attention. He must either de-
cline the nomination of State Senator
at the hands of the Democracy or be cut off
from his family connections. The ties of
blood were greater than those of party, and
he must yield. He said he had made all
his arrangements for the canvass, he be-
lieved he could be elected, but he would
sacrifice all to please his father, who would
moi consent to one of his family running IN
a ticket with Judge Henry.
The committee were in a dilemma-they
did not know what to do. They were up
a stump. Judge Henry was nominated
they could not go back on him they did
not like to lose John T. Carey as a candi-
date for Senator, and did not want to read
the father and brother out of the party.
The committee that had been sent TO find
Judge Henry did not happen to know
where he lived, or for some other reason
not stated failed TO find him. Here was a
CLEAN OF hope.
A member suggested that he might not
accept and they better pull him down. The
Chairman said they could not 10 this, for
he had been legally elected and was as
much of a nominee of the party as any
other man upon a ticket. Another COM
mittee was sent to find Judge Henry. No
one noticed in which direction they went,
but they returned in a short time and re-
ported that they failed to dig him mp"
A member of the committee then moved
that inasmuch as the committees had not
been able to find, Judge Henry, that their
action in nominating him be r%escinded.
This motion carried.
The Chair then asked for nominations for
Police Judge.
Isadore Townsend nominated Judge Jas.
Galloway.
Henry Dehn nominated Judge D. E.
Alexander.
Upon roll call Alexander had s votes and
Galloway Z.
Just as the Chair was about to declare
Alexander the nominee, some one sug-
gested that, perhaps, he would not accept.
Henry Dehn, who placed him in nomina-
ton, said he did not know whether he
would or not.
Peter Flaherty came to the rescue, and
said, "Mr. Chairman, l change my vote
from Alexander to Galloway" That settled
the business. G. W. Carey's candidate for
Police Judge was thus placed upon the
ticket, and all the objections against the
candidacy of his brother for Senator re-
moved.
1t was now l A. NJ, and the Convention
proceeded to fill the vacancy on the legis-
lative ticket in the Eighteenth District. g,
w. Nichols was named for the position.
He was in the next room, and was in
vited before the committee. He de-
quent speech, which would have con-
tinued no doubt to the breakfast
hour if Pete Flaherty had not objected.
He said the committee did not want to hear
long-winded speeches, and as to the speak
er's remarks regarding his fight against
Judge Henry, that was settled and they
wanted no more of it. Nichols perempto-
rily declined.
l.. Greer placed in nomination Henry
Dehn. The latter declined. He did not
live in the district, he said, and even if he
did he would not accept the nomination.
Nichols was again appealed to, and he
finally said Z" Well, I'll see the old man
in the morning, and take his advice in the
matter"
The committee adjourned shortly after
l A.. NJ.
Declines to Accept.
