AND STILL THEY FIGHT.

The Local Democracy will Not Harmo-
Mica New Organization.
1t was thought that when the election
was over the fight between the local fac
tons of the Democracy were at an end
that the chickering's between the Big Ten
and the Little Six would cease, and that
the children of Democracy would settle
down, as they ought to, forgive and forget,
and once more be united, harmonious
and happy family. Such, however. is not
the case, the wounds did not heal, and the
contest for supremacy to-day is as fierce as
it was six weeks prior to their County Con-
vention. Yesterday it was noised about
town that certain influential Democrats
had called a meeting for last night at Pho
neer Hall, and that its object was
that of reading the Little Six fac
ton and the present Democratic Coun-
ty Central Committee out of the party.
This announcement caused considerable
excitement in Democratic circles through
out the city, and the Capital and Golden
Eagle Hotels last night were graced with
the presence of large number of the local
leaders of the party. The meeting at Pho
neer Hall was attended by but few of the
by the Big Ten, whose meeting it really
was. 1t organized by the selection of r.
NJ. Clarken as Chairman and G, G. Pickett
Secretary. The object of the meeting, it is
stated, was to organize Democratic club,
or political association composed of the
best men in the party, both city and coun-
ty, which should control all matters politi-
cal. The present Democratic County Cen
trail Committee, in the opinion of the
meeting, is incompetent, disloyal, un-J effer-
sonian, and must not be regarded as a true
reflex of the party. They are not willing
TO sanction their acts, neither are they
willing that the said Central Committee
shall assume to represent the true Democ-
racy of the city and county. They claim
that The party needs wedding out and they
are going to commence that work now, and
ere the next election rolls around the polit-
ical machinery will be in the hands of
competent and loyal Democrats-men who
will not sell their candidates at the polls,
and not insist upon putting up weak
candidate in order to elect a man on the
opposing ticket.
A committee of seven was selected to
draft constitution and bylaws, as follows:
Robert Barnett, Internal Revenue Inspect
or, Chairman; II. NJ. Bernard, Captain
Thomas Dwyer, W. d. Comstock, Charles
Jenkins, r. NJ. Clarken and G. G. Pickett.
This committee is to meet at the Capital
Hotel at 2 P. NJ. on Sunday next and per-
form the duty assigned
Speeches were made by Charles Jenkins,
]. W. Hughes and Matt. f. Johnson, of the
city, and j. 3. Furnish, of Gait.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
same place next Tuesday evening.
1t was stated by prominent Democrat
last evening that the Little Six would i'm
mediately organize for the defensive, and
for that purpose would call a mass meeting
in Armory Hall for some night next week.
They claim that last nights meeting was
not of the Simon-pure Democracy, and that
some of the members of their committee
were not Democrats, and worked against
the ticket at the last election. There is fun
ahead.
