A GRAND FIZZLE
The Opposition to the Business Mems
City Ticket shows Very Poor
Hand-DIsgruntled Echoes.

The opposition to the business mems
city ticket made very poor showing at
its so-caled ward primaries last night,
and as result there will scarcely be a
corporals guard on hand when the oppos'
ing faction undertakes to name new MIN
cipal ticket at the court house on Satur-
day afternoon next. At the LIST ward
meeting there was a handful of profess
sional politicians in attendance, and after
speech or two as to the injustice that
had been done "the down-trodden work
ing man" by the citizens convention Of
last Saturday in the nomination OF
Messrs. Francisco Delgado and Nicolas
Sena as aldermen, they selected a set OF
delegates to the proposed convention of
the disgruntled and named opposition
candidates for aldermen in the person Of
Mike Berardineli and Dick German.
Capt. Henry Carson made stirring
speech endorsing the aldermanic nomi-
nees of the business mems mass conven-
ton, Messrs. Delgado and Sena, and
moved that the meeting endorse these
nominations. This was carried by at
least fifteen majority, but the chairman,
A. NJ. Dettlebach, declared the motion
lost, much to the disgust of not few
citizens present.
In the second ward the meeting en-
dorsed the nominees of the business
mems convention, Messrs. Martin Quin
ana and Marcelino Garcia.
The meeting for the Sd and 4th wards
was held jointly at the court house. Sc
slow were the supporters of the soreheads
in coming in that it was 9 o'clock before
the meeting was organized by the selec
ton of P. l.. Vanderveer as chairman
He made speech and DR.. Sloan nance
a committee to 60 into side room ant
fix up things. By actual count there wef
forty-one voters present from the tw,
wards. Several Of those appointed OIL
committees declined to serve, saying the
were there not as participants but merel
as spectators. About this time things be
gan to look pretty serious. John Gray
John Conway, Albert Call and numbe
i of others stepped out, one at a time, an
quietly stole away in search Of the coolin
+ shades OF the plaza grove-or somethln
else. At any rate they never went back
The chairman didn't mend matters an
; by referring to the bonded railroad del
of the county and the establishment {
e schools in which "they teach the religio
OF Jesus Christ and every other religion,
or words to that effect. Then some MOI
i of the corporal's guard went out. After
e while the 4th ward disgruntled committe
! made its report and nominated for aide
e men Jose d. Sena and H. Lindheim,
l. opposition to the regular nominees, Gle,
W. Knaebel and N. Mondragon. The
s the Sd warders got their committee I'M
g action and said committee went into
q side room and staid there for more ths
/ an hour. After while some more OF tt
|, spectators got up and left and several
those who held down the benches shifte
!. themselves around and took short ma
Finally the Sd ward committee got thin
fixed and reported that Chas. Wagn
and S. S. Beatty would run as opposite
candidates to the straight alderman
ticket, Dr. Harroun and Gerard D. Koc
Then the meeting-of what was left Of
broke up.
