The Schwarz Men in Trouble -
Gossip about the Canvass.
The Chatham Democratic Club held
meeting last night, and the Thomas ticket
was unanimously Endorsed. William kehoe,
chairman Of the club delegation which
participated in the nominating convention,
reported the action Of the convention, and
after several earnest speeches commenda-
tory of the action Of the convention, the
report was adopted and on motion the
Thomas ticket was indorsed
W. f. Reid as chairman, and four
members from each Of the four districts
were appointed as committee Of seventeen
to see to the registration of members and
TO work for the election Of Alderman
Thomas for mayor and the entire alder
manic ticket
A resolution was unanimously adopted
recommending to the club convention at
its meeting Friday night that it place the
name Of W. b. Nell on the Thomas ticket
10 fill the vacancy occasloned by the declln-
alton of George 5, Haines, aad the delega-
tion from the Chatham Club was instructed
to vote for Mr.. Nell for the aldermanic
nomination.
OUT STRONG FOR THOMAS.
There was no disposition shown to give
any encouragement to the candidacy Of Maj.
Schwarz. on the contrary, the club mani
tested jealous interest in the success OF
the entire Thomas ticket, and II expects tho
rest Of the clubs which participated Ia the
convention to do the same.
The two railroad clubs have Endorsed the
entire ticket, and the campaign starts OF
enthusiastically for the ticket having the
party ind rsapent
The friends Of Maj. Schwarz were very
much discouraged yesterday over the out
look. There was great deal Of disappoint-
meut at tie adeTmanic ticket, and what
was worse two Of the gentlemen
named, DR.. Harris and Mr.. Willink,
it is understood, refuse to run A
friend Of Mayor Schwarz is quoted as say
ing that the ticket adopted in the meeting
of the Citizens club Monday night was not
the ticket that had previously been agreed
upon; that the ticket as published in the
MORNING News last Sunday was tho one
which had besu agreed upon the day previ-
Gus, and that il il had been generally un-
derstood that any change was contemplated
n larger attendance would have resulted at
the Monday nicht meeting. and the compo-
sition Of the Schwarz ticket would have
been different from what IL is.
DECLINED TO GO ON THE TICKET.
IL is leaking out that quito number of
citizens we're approached aud asked
TO SO on the Schwarz ticket. They
declined 1t was this sort Of re
buff that evidently drove the managers
to take half Of the Thomas ticket The que,-
ton has now been asked, viii not the
Thomas candidates whose names have been
placed on the Schwarz ticket. in order -
show their fealty 70 the party which placed |
them in nomination, ask that as their names |
were appropriated by the Schwarz manage
ment without their consent, that they be
dropped from the Schwarz ticket 1t is
argued that this viii compel the Schwarz
men TO get up ticket of their own, Of men
who favor Maj. Schwarz for mayor, and
not seek TO slip him into the office by assO-
citation with candidates who are opposed to |
him. II this course is adopted il Is argued |
that the bottom would fall out Of his can |
didacy.
THE sCHwARz MEN NOT HAPPY
The situation is not Frightening by any
means, and whatever hope was had Of de- |
fecuon in the Thomas ranks was swept |
away last night by the unanimity and en- |
thusiasm with which the Chatham Club |
pronounced for Thomas and the Thomas |
aldermaulc ticket.
One gentleman said last night that Mai |
Schwarz is the candidate Of himself aud the |
Citizens Club" which he organized to
place him before the people; thar he is not
running on d citizens ticket, but has merely
labeled It such: that he was not |
willing to submit his candidacy
70 a citizens meeting, called as such,
and that the published ticket does not
bear the Endorsement of any officers Of a
citizens meeting aud that while his friends
persistently claimed majority Of the clubs
before the convention. not a single delegate
announced his name, and be didn't receive
a vote in the convention. He Is, therefore, |
neither the nominee Of party nor Of the |
citizens at large, for no mass meeting Of the |
citizens has been held to nominate him.
