The Manchester Committee VIII Submit
the Question to Mr. Eiiysou.

The City Democratic Committee OF
Manchester is still without chairman.
Another meeting was held last night for
the purpose of electing one. but like the
many previous sessions 1t failed in the ac-
complishment of that result.
A step was taken, though-and seeming
lv n very wise one-which makes II posi-
lie for the deadlock to be broken without
wounding the feelings of those on either
side of the fight that has been made between
the two lower wards and the two upper
ones for the naming OF this officer.

promptly on hand last night AZ S:l5 O'Clock,

Second wards walked IN some minutes
later. Mr.. Green from the First and Mr.;
Jewett from the Fourth were paired ana
both were absent.
