eagle eve scanned his followers.
When the representative of the Journal
entered the hall shortly after the caucus
had been called to order, the doughty
warrior OF the north end leaned
10 his feet and proclaimed that as i,

overpowered the resolution Trainer that he
sat down and winked at Judge Er.kine. The
scribe in question walked out, while the col

eral other Journal reporters scattered about
the hall.
Capt. Black oficiated as chairman while
Col. Morton, doubtless by reason of his con-
nectlon with the press, accepted the arduous
post of the secretaryship.
Judge Erskine thought it was best to post
pone the caucus until Saturday night as the
members were 80 few.
Col. Morton, with a woebegone look said
that he was not discouraged. This remark
was not applauded.
Judge Erskine moved that E. c. Allen be
nominated for mayor by acclamation
His friend, Col. Morton, thought it was
hardly time to nominate, although Mr.. Allen
would probably be the man.
