DOWNED BY THE JOURNAL
The Open Support Of Pangborn,
Dear & Co., Kills Mr..
Peloubet.

1t was twenty-five minutes past eleven
o'clock last night when the candidates
for Aldermen were announced to the Re-
publican convention in the Fifth district.
It was lively evening. 1t was made so
because Corn Doctor Pangborn, DR..
Jekyel Dear, Police Commissioner Benson
and two employees attached to the EUe7l-
lftg Journal tried to run the convention.
The people present were men of
thought, and they objected. The author
ity on corn certificates said he wanted
l0hn II. Peloubet, a Justice OF the Peace
end of irreproachable character and one
of the most popular men in the district,
nominated. He is the son of the old war
horse, Major Peloubet. 1t was his mis-
fortune TO have selected the EUening
Journal troupe to act as his SPONSORS and
advisers They defeated him and they
know why.
Among others who were candidates
were Max Salinger, Joseph H. Ward,
Alfred Hedden, Thomas Mills, Alderman
Jewkes, Robert A. Redgrave and Mont
ague Gregory. Mills was backed by
Dick Brown and John Hopken, who
worked hard for him and we're assisted d
boosted up in the ranks by Cap
tain Bush and Counsellor George
Ryerson and Max Salinger had the open
support OF Frank o. Cole and Major
Gaines, and the hidden efforts of DR..
Pangborn Hyde and DR.. Jekyel Dear. OF
course that meant that Police Commits
sioner Benson and Chairman Sutherland
and their other employees gave the same
support.
a FRIEND TO BE AFRAID OF.
Judge Peloubet had the misfortune to
allow the Journal to work openly for
him, and that was sufficient to ruin all
the good work Counsellor Ryerson and
many friends did in his behalf. Mr.. Red
grave and Mr. Gregory had no actual
workers but many friends.
Among the five hundred present who
crowded Paramount Hall were State
Treasurer Toffey, who kept his fingers
out of the pot altogether; ex-Freeholder
Roe, Alderman Schermerhorn, James
Young, Police Captain McKaig, Charles
Laws, Freeholder Nelson, Counsellor
Isaac Romaine, Police Sergeant Van
Buren, Thomas H. Williams, Judge
Douglass, j. Warren, Dusenbury, George
II. Hainlin, ex-Commissioner Humphrey,
w. Carr, John Archibald, Jerry Maher,
Joseph Locke Counsellor Gordon, Clay
Keenan, and ex-President of the Police
Board Abram Van Reiper.
Chairman Sutherland called the meet
ing to order about halfpast eight O'Clock
and was at once reelected permanent
chairman and Secretary Mcintosh received
the same honor. Captain Bush offered a
resolution that the men from the different
precincts retire and elect their delegates,
and when this was adopted the men separ-
ated.
DIR. Pangborn became 50 enth husiastic ia
lis efforts TO defeat Peionbet that he
climbed on q bench and harangued the
members from hts precinct, and begged
them to vote as he wanted. I!lis they nat
urally did not do for the people in the
Fifth district have considerable self-re-
speer. q
