PROXY VOTED DOWN.
THE MANCHESTER CITY COMMITTEE
REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE ONE.
Thersupon Five Members Withdraw and
There Is No Organization
General News Notes.

The City Democratic Committee held an
other meeting last night-about the fifth
one since July island again adjourned
without efecting permanent organization.
The session was short one, though quite
spicy. and was suddenly terminated by the
retirement of five representatives, leaving
tho body without quorum.
What the result Of this split in the COM
mittee will he cannot be foretold, but IT
can certainly not do good, and calm judg-
ment should be allowed to prevail. IL Is
to be hoped yet that entire harmony may
be restored.
THE MEETING.
The meeting was adjourned over from
Friday night. when there was no quorum.
Mr.. Jewett was the only absentee last nlgnt'
and his proxy was held by another gentle-
man. ~,
The First-ward delegates were formally
recognized and took their seats, and some
explanations were made about non-attend-
ance Friday night. IL was proposed tnat
the record Of what the six members pres
emit night before last agreed 10 DO with re-
ference to calling ward-meetings for Tues
dav night should be read, but there was
objection raised and the action OF the SIX
was not passed upon.
PROXY ExcLUpED.
On motion of Mr.. Cook il was resolved to
90 into permanent organization,
Mr.. Hooker proposed 70 exclude proxies.
and after some discussion his motion was
adopted, whereupon the I'VE uptown
| members withdrew. leaving the committees
without quorum. Proxies hau neen useg
| in n former meeting, and the Ihlrd ana
Fourth Ward people would have been IN
the minority last night. The reason gwen
| for excluding the proxy of Mr.. Jewett was
| that he mad refused to give 1t the night
| before to be used only for calling meetings
| to elect delegates.

mittee not having organized the old one IL
