BARRY BOUNCED.
His Place Was Deserted Last Night
and he McLaughIins Ex-
PEELED Him.

Bucketshop Barry has evidently given
orders to the buns who nightly coagre-
gate inside his groggery to keep low until
after the election.
A glance into his place last night re-
vealed the unusual sight of an almost
empty barroom. A few bar supporters
were making wry faces in an endeavor to
get outside of big schooners of bad beer.
There were scarcely enough customers
to raise smoke. The fiY-specks on the
mirrors and other defects that usually
are Invisible through the clouds of to-
bacco smoke, stood out in bold and dis
gushing relief. But one man was behind
the bar.
The traitorous proprietor had evidently
gone home disguised. Even the misty
smelling sawdust on the barroom floor
did not show the usual marks of scuffiing
feet
There were no signs OF infantile grow
Ter Fushers. Barry has evidently great
respect for the law since he was arrested
for selling liquor to minors.
AT a special meeting of tie Mclaughlin
Association last night it was determined
to expel the traitor from the Association.
He has violated the constitution, which
rlgidiy enforces upon all members the
obligation not to oppose the regular
Democratic party. Barry was before the
Executive Committee few nights ago.
He pleaded ignorance of the constitution,
and said that had he been aware of this
fact in the early stages of the campaign
and been properly waited upon, he would
have Withdrawn from the race. 1t was
now too late. He was n the race to stay.
The Committee reported in favor of giving
him an opportunity of rssigning. But The
report WIS not accepted By the Associa-
tion, and Barry was sunmariiy bounced.
REPUBLICANS REJECT THE TRAITOR.
From tae Eveninq Journal Of Wednesday
We remove today from the ticket at the
head of our editorial column the name Of
William NJ. Barry, who is candidate for
Alderman in the Second District, for rea-
sons which we deem sufficient. We can
not advise Republicans or any other citi-
zens TO vote for such candidate. IT we
had been aware of facts, which we now
know, Mr.. Barry would never have re-
ceived any sort of approval of his candi-
dacy from the Journal We are informed
that he is Democrat instead of O Re-
publican, and that of itself relieves Us of
any sort of Republican obligations to
support him. Republicans have no
business to nominate Democrats
and ask any support for them
on political grounds. When citizens
nominations are made and political rarity
considerations are ignored or openly dis
carded, then we may support Democrats,
but under no other circumstances. But,
besides this. we have ascertained that Mr.,
Barry is not the sort or man who is
fitted TO hold any sort of public Office,
aud that is another sufficient reason for
the Journal declining TO advise anybody
TO vote for him. We know nothing about
the other Democrat who is running in
nj Hfafrfpf 40 r rl+vlg h
be no better than Barry. and no more fit
to be made an Alderman. The Journal
will have no responsibility for the cleo
tion Of either of these men.
From the Ereaing JosrnaI of Friday
We nave in the cgse of the man, Barry,
who was nominated by the Republicans
of the Second district for the Office of AL
derman, a pertinent Illustration of the
lamentable laundering of which some
Republicans seem capable. Why was
such a man, a Democrat. not a Republic
can, nominated by sthe Republicans of
the Second district? Is there not single
respectable, capable Republican in the
district who would take the nomination
and give his Republican fellow citizens
q chance to vote for a good candidate?
II so. then that fact is discreditabie
to the Republicans Of that district.
IL no fit and worthy candidate Tor Office
can be found in the Republican ranks in
that district. then the Republican organ
ization had better be abandoned there,
and the Republicans should unite with
those of their fellow citizens who are not
Republicans, but who are not opposed to
incompetency and dishonesty and ring
rule in municipal affairs, aud nom mate a
citizens ticket, and give it ali the votes
they can. There must certainly be in the
second district more than one citizen who
is fit To be elected 10 the Office Of alder
man, and some such man should, ia some
way, be nominated.
