skyrocKets. set off by Danny Carmichael
last night. a fair sized audience gathered
IL st. Michael's Hall last night TO ratify
the nominations of Edward E. Mcdonald,
John McPhililps, alias Bob Davis. and
johnny Madden. It was curious con-
gregation of people.
One-half Of the audience looked
ashamed of the other half and the half that
was not ashamed cast chances of defiance
at The SUNDAY MORNING NEWS reporter
for they knew him to represent the foe of
the Ring. Tho half that did not feel COM
Ioriable chung to the rear Of the hall and
the frequent beseeching of Chairman
MeGrath could not induce them TO
occupy the vacant seats in front
They were the Mcdonald men, and
had gone there TO show him that he was
their choice They were not Davis men,
and RETAINED. us much as possible, from
mingling with the friends of the ballot
box suffers.
Il was after half past eight when Assis-
tant Prosecutor Noonon approached
little table on the platform, and said

This was a general surprise to all but
the Counsellor. but no one objected, and
Mr.. McGrath was duly declared elected.
On the platform at this time were Gov

John h. Madden. Dennis McLoughlin,
John Kenney, John f. Kelly. ex-senator

The chairman made a ten minutes
speech. in which he eulogized the Demo-
cratic party III general and all the eau
dfdates In the county in particular He
took up q little history ia connection with
his enlogy and said that twenty years
ago there was a young Democracy that
did no good and some harm, and later
an Independents Democracy that
died an early death. and that
now there was Jeffersonian
Democracy, q dissertation OF the name of
Thomas Jefferson Inc chairman said
the two other Delnocracies had been
buried and the Jeffersonians would soon
follow them. Then this Counsellor re-
mem9ered other things, SO many that
tpey cannot here be related, and
when he remembered McPhillips
he's audience evidently had
forgotten him, for his name brought no
applause. IN Che course OF tracing his
memory Senator Mcdonald was thought
Of also and received deserved coInpli-
ment from the speaker Finally, to the
great satisfaction of all, he remembered
IL was time to let some one else do a little
speech making and he introduced George
A. Heaney, the Democratic candidate for
Assembly. in the Third
Mr.. Heaney said he intended to be brief
in his remarks and he was truthful. I'VE

remove from him the slightest shadow
Of stain the Republican party has tried
to place on him. Mr.. Heaney then de-
nounced the Tariff bill and eulogized
John McPhillips, alias Bob Davis,
and repeated the oft repeated story told

After ASSUMING all that he would not be
found wanting when called, he made
way for Johnny Madden, who was in
troduced by the chairman as the candi-

Mr. Madden was loudly applauded
Il thank you for this applause, said
he. "pm no orator, as you know.
don't know what TO say. All can say is
I'm obliged to you. IL Pm elected I'll
do all in my power for the working
man.
That was all Mr.. Madden said, but
Chairman McGrath had caught his sec
ond wind by this time, and In five min
utes speech OF entreaty he begged the peo-
pie in the back Of the room 20 occupy
The seats in front. No one would do SO,
and then the chairman directed police
man to see that they did That guardian
of the peace was there for peace only and
he declined the invitation very sensibiy.
The chairman then gave a biographical
