The Democratic county convention
which met at market hall yesterday was
model of harmony in every respect,
and transacted its business in the short
space of half an hour, without any
speech-making or foOlishness of any
kind. 1t is given out by the partici-
pants of the convention that it was anti
Kelly, and to prove this, the fact that
r. L. O'Connor, Ii. II. Fuller, P. Il.
Kavanagh and others are on the list of
delegates chosen, was cited. Just what
was meant, or what figure MI. Kelly
was supposed to cut, does not appear on
the surface, as, so far as is known, Mr..
Kelly was not before the convention, or
likely to be in any position where the
action of the delegates could affect him.
But at any rate they do not hesitate to
say they are not marked o. k, p. II. X.
Robert Miller, secretary of the state
central committee, claimed that the ma
Jorlty OF the delegates were SympathiZ-
ers with MIR. Doran, and that as the unit
rule was to be enforced that would give
him the delegation. Friends of DR..
AmeS claims that if it comes to an issue
a majority of the delegates will go for
him and that he will get the vote of the
county. For district delegates to st.
Louis Mayor X. A. Smith and Hon. c..
ID. O'Brien are said to be the choice of
the delegation.
