The Republican Ticket Gives Very Gem
eral Satisfaction.
Everywhere yesterday the nominees of
the Republican Convention of Tuesday
evening was the subject of very general
conversation, and gave very general salts
faction. All Republicans who were spoken
to regarding the ticket had but one COM
ment, and that was that it was strong and
would poll the vote Of the party.
THE DEMOCRACY
The Democratic City Central Committee
| met last evening at the parlors OF the Capt.
tai Hotel at o'clock, and Immediately
went into executive session. That all was
not harmonious was learned early in the
day, and that they had a very stormy
session was afterward ascertained.
1t has been the custom of the Central
Committee of the Democracy TO always ap-
point the delegates to the Convention, and
if the members of that august body were
| in favor of any particular individual or set
of candidates, the complexion of the Con-
yention was shaded accordingly. Hereto
fore the Chairman of the Central Commit
tee has been allowed to name five delegates
from each ward, and the Central Commit
teemeo named the other %, making 80
from each ward, making Convention of
120.
Last evening Thomas Fox, the Chair
man of the City Central Committee, essayed
to use that prerogative, but was sat down
upon in a most decisive manner. The
members of the Central Committee ignored
him entirely and named the full quota of
delegates. AS natural consequence
Thomas was very much ipcensed and told
thp ot-ala hot
he thought of them. Dick Singleton, The
Democratic boss from the Third Ward led
the revolt, and Mr.. Fox was given to un-
derstand that they were running things
and II 1t did not suit him he could with
draw and join the Prohibitionisisn
The fight seemed to be entirely on Fire
Commissioner. Fox and bis followers
were in favor of the nomination of W. D.
Comstock for that position, and Singleton
and his cohorts We're opposed TO it. 1t
made grand split. Some of the COM
mitteemen claimed that it was move in
the interest of down town Republicans,
who desired to defeat Comstock with Blue.
They claimed that Comstock was at pres
ert q Fire Commissioner, had done good
service, and if nominated could be elected,
and W. A. Get, whom they proposed to
nominate, could not be elected. The dis
cusslon waxed warm, but the Singleton
crowd were successful, and named the fol-
lowing delegates:

Democrats and ignored those in the First
