Long Session Of the City Committee-Per-
sonaIs and Briefs.
The City Democratic Committee held an
! adjourned meeting last night in one of the
| rooms of the Leader building, and spent
three hours in the effort to effect perma-
nent organization. which was only partial
| liz successful.
Most of the time there was a perfect
deadlock. and it looked as though the
meeting would result in split. but finally
calm judgment prevailed. and all that was
done was without any unkind feeling or
| display Of temper. Early in the session
there were some outcroppings OF bad feel
ing. and e.personalities were INDUCED
| in, but all was soon smoothed over.
| THE wRASGLE-
This wrangle was brought about by the
presence of two delegations from the First
! Ward claiming their seats, and il was
| known beforehand that the decision in
| this particular would affect the permanent
organization. II will be remembered that
| there were two meetings held In the
| First Ward for the election of men,
| bers of the committee, both claiming
TO be legally constituted. One meeting
elected Messrs. Charles H. Sims, Charles
| V. Green, and j. j. Cook; those chosen by
the other were Nessrs. B. +. Faulkner
John w. Candle. and Charles Atkinson.
On Monday night last only the first dele
CATION was present. and the Committee on
Credenta als asked further time. and there
was an adjournment until last night. when
both delegations appeared and both pre-
sented their certificates of election,
which appeared TO be in due form.
All Of the other members from the other
wards were present except Mr.. Pitt, for
whom Mr.. Smith held a proxy. Af-
ter a prolonged discussion the Com
! mittee on Credentials was discharged with
ont making any report, and at 1875
o'clock. when much time had been
frittered away, motion was carried
TO seat the claimants who were present at
the first meeting. The others were given
no show. as the vote was not between the
two delegations, but on authorizing those
| TO vote IN the committee who presented
their credentials at Monday nights meet
| ing. for which no official notices had been
sent ont. and will be left 10 make
a contest either before this committee or
the State Committee. The seating of these
representatives made the body ready for
| permanent organization. and then the real
fight. which all the while had acted "A an
| undercurrent, came 10 the surface and on
a strong tide.
TWO cHAIgMES.
For chairman Mr.. Smith presented the
name of Mr.. John u. Utz for reelection
and Mr. Sims nominated Mr.. Andrew D..
! Gallagher, who successfully conducted the
! fight for his First-Ward friends.
The committee was now equally divided
and each candidate received SIX votes by
voting for themselves after making proper
explanations. II was finally decided, after
MANY suggestions had been made and
withdrawn. 10 leave the matter t. Messrs.
Utz and Gallagher to settle between them
selves # they can.
The Utz or uptown faction wanted Mr..
S. 5. Patch for secretary. and the followers
of MIR. Gallagher from the First and Second
wards stuck TO Mr.. Sims, VINO was their
candidate The vote resulted IN tie. and
It was decided that whoever is finally de-
clared chairman shall select his secretary.
Mr. Joseph Butler was elected treasurer
over Mr.. W. T. Pitt.
Adjourned at 1850 o'clock to meet next
Friday night.
