REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES.
lrreg ular Proceedings In
Fourth Ward.

OF one OF the others, the one held in the
third precinct of the Second Ward, there
was suspicion that it was regular, and
that the irregular caucus will be held in
the same place tonight. The last of the
caucuses was without doubt irregular,
and Its delegates if elected will vote for
Mr.. l.. f. Mosher. The caucuses de-
veloped the tact that the real fight for
Mayorship at present is between Mr.. E.
Miles and l.. E. Mosher, while there is
a possibility that there are few scatter
ing votes for other parties. In the First
Ward the State ticket went through
without any trouble, although for appear.
ance sake about twenty additional
names were placed in nomination. The
names selected to be voted for at the
primaries were as follows: Chas. White,
D. w. Oswald, j. Willigood, A. ]. Nor
ton, J. Lockwood, F. Lanterio, J. NJ.
Skinner, Henry Steere, G. s. Bennett,
E. J. Clough, Louis Sanchez, J. G. Muir.
ray, A. S. Heitchew, E. Maud and w. j.
Hamilton.
THE THIRD PRECINCT.
The Republicans OF the Third Precinct
OF the Second ward, comprising all that
section lying west of Fort street, met
pursuant to the notices issued over the
signatures of Messrs H. H. Apple and
G. J. Miles, two members of the City
Central Committee, at the livery stable
OF Messrs. Sullivan & Johaunsen, No.
1913 Temple street, at 80 last night for
the purpose of holding their caucus to
nominate delegates to the coming City
| Convention. Notwithstanding the fact
OF another notice having been issued
calling the caucus tonight at the same
hour, there was large attendance and
the unauthorized circular was apparently
ignored altogether. The most diligent
enquiry failed to elicit any information
with regard to the matter; those who
knew of it not thinking it worthy of at
tention. OF the seventy-three votes cast,
the following gentlemen received an
overwhelming majority, and we're ac-
cordingly declared nominated: D. w.
Field, Theodore S. West, Aaron Smith,
John c. Stednan, G. A. Stillson, Jay w.
Adams, E. T. Wright, G. E. Daley, G.
6. Brown, George Hull, Harry Hes, D.
F. Donegau and F. P. Clements.
THE FOURTH WARD.
The caucus in the Fourth Wards held
in Panorama Hall was called through
the columns of the Express, and it was
stated that the call was not regular, but
that made no difference with those in
| charge. 1t was openly declared prior to
the meeting that it was to be held in the
interest of L. E. Mosher for Mayor and
that the probabilities were that the
Fourth Word caucus tonight will select
different set OF delegates. that the dele
gates elected last night will probably be
refused admittance to the Convention
and that they will join with irregular
delegates to be elected tonight in the
Third Ward in forming Convention OF
their OWE. The business of the evening
was commenced by the election of one OF
the employees of the Lowe Gas Company,
| of which Mr.. Mosher is Secretary
to the chair. 1t was then announced
that there would be some trouble in get
ting the right delegates for MIR. Mosher
elected at the Boyle Heights meeting
and delegation was sent over to aid
Mr.. Niles in the fight there while Mr.. B
Fehneman took charge of the fight in
Panorama Hall. A recess was then
taken until O'Clock, at which time the
meeting was again called to order and
the following were placed in nomination :
j. R. Goldsworthy, Frank Lemon, Mar
tin Carr, Thomas Burns, John Lowell,
j. w. Davis, Harry Payne, w. w. Stew
art and Fred Sterling and the State
ticket as follows: d. Ullman, H. Shafer.
j. h. Kennedy, Charles Horn back, B.
Fehneman, E. B. Brown (colored), w.
NJ. Holmes, Fred Smith, Charles Fusi-
leer, Frank Smith (colored), O. w. Bald
win, Fred Mohr and D. Malone.
AT this point Mr.. Spencer rose and said
that he guessed he was in the wrong
place. He had seen the call for the
regular meeting in the Times and
Tribune and he considered this meeting
irregular. The people of the Fourth
would all attend the meeting tonight,
and he asked permission to Withdraw the
names of John R. Goldsworthy and
Frank Lemon, nominated by him.
1t was in vain that Mr.. Fehneman ex-
planned that he did not know how there
was call for meeting this evening
that the call was possible mistake and
that the call for the meeting then in
progress was regular. Mr.. Spencer left,
taking several others with him.
MIR. Fehneman moved that John W
Nixon, of the Irish American Club be
elected delegate by acclamation, and
the motion was carried. Mr.. Fehneman
moved that nominations close, and nom
nations closed. Mr.. Fehneman moved
that tellers be appointed, and he
and MIR. Woods, who got into
difficulty at late primary over
ballot box in the Fourth Ward were an.
pointed tellers. During the balloting.
which followed, Mr.. Woods carefully put
a handful. of ballots in the hat. There
were thirty-three men who walked up
and deposited ballots and there were
seventy-five ballots counted. As a result
the slate ticket was elected with the ex.
ception Of Fred Mohr, who had to be
sacrificed to make room for Mr.. Nixon.
The Chair announced the result and the
meeting adjourned.
FIFTH WARD CAUCUS.
The Fifth Ward held its caucus in the
pavilion at Washington Gardens. Mr..
H. u. Osborne was called to the chair
and the meeting proved to be very
orderly and proper sort of an affair.
Col. G. Wiley Wells nominated A.C.
Shafer for candidate for Councilman
from the Fifth Ward, and Mr. Shafer
responded in a speech in which he re-
ferred to his record as member of the
G. A. R. G. M. Jenkins, the other
nominee, also called attention to his
connection with the Union Army and
asserted that he was the only man who
ever enlisted from Los Angeles city.
The vote stood: Shafer 127 and Jen.
kins 7S. Whereupon Mr. Shafer was do.
