Second
Third ward-T. H. PHIPPS, Bother.
"The Peoples Ticket was the name
given to that proposed at the First ward
caucas last night. Murphy and Horr We're
not in it. 1t was only in Murphy's in
stance that surprise was occasioned, and it
is certain that some Of his first ward hench-
men have gone back on him. The mayor
received hint broad enough to tell him
he ought to keep out ofpolitics and remain
in the feed business. John Miller Muir
ply called the meeting to order, and George
G. Mills was chosen chairman. The meet
ing opened with the naming, by Robert
Whitman, of Harry B. MeElroy for coun-
Gil, and was Immediately followed by S. G.
Percival who named John Miller Murphy.
Perclval stayed close to his man through
out the evening The vote on the two
names resulted in McEl1oy 81, Murphy Al,
and L. Bettman and NJ Harris each one.
The result was greeted with applause.
Murphy's treatment it is said was attribus
ted to the action Of the saloon men who
threw him overheard after the famous first
meeting of the present council, when there
was unanimous vote to close all saloons.
AS the people entered the hall last even
ing there was showed into their hands a
printed slip bearing the names of the fol-
lowing as delegates to the nominating con-
vention; HI. B. McElroy, z. II. Carlyon,
Horr, A. H. Chambers, George G. Mills, S.
G. Ward, w. L. Bilger S. c. Woodruff, G.
R. Carroll, G. w. Hambright, R. M. To-
ziee, DR.. Armstrong, E. 7. Young.
The citizens quickly saw it was a job Of
the Percival- Murphy faction and scratch
ing was promiscuous, even before the bal
loting began. Mr.. Murphy moved to elect
the thirteen delegates by ballot and Rob
ert Whitman moved that they be chosen
singly. The chair ruled the latter motion
out Of order. @. a. Maskrey moved 10
amend Mi. Murphy's motion by striking
out thirteen and inserting tone" The
motion prevailed.
1t was during the balloting that Mayor
Horr was so severely scored, AS each
mans name was presented for delegate the
ayes were received, but when the NAYS were
called nobody answered until it came to
Mayor Horr's name. Then there were
but few ayes as compared with the stimuli
taneous burst of nays. "Horr is defeated, -
announced the chairman, and then vol
ley of applause filled the room. The mayor
turned as white as though he had fallen
into barrel of -four by mistake, but said
nothing.
The delegates were chosen by acclama-
tion as follows:
George i. Allen, $. G. Woodruff, Mitch.
Harris, Frank Williamson, A. Farquhar,
George G. Mills, "a. II. Chambers, =. T.
Young, W. I. Bilger, H. Sabin, P. II. Car
lyon, Thomas Prather, e. McReynolds,
DIR. G. S. Armstrong.
On w. l.. Bilger's motion, the caucus ex-
pressed choice by ballot for candidate
for mayor, with the following result:
r. G. O'Brien, so; 7. G. Van Epps, "a +;
Robert MARI 81. John Miller Murphy, 5;

at the old school house. Over 100 citizens

ordered, resulting as follows: Mark e.
Reed, 40; 3. S. Horton, 8; T. j. McBrat-
ney, 5; Mr. Springer, 2; Mr.. Bettman, b;
and Messrs. Lord, O'Connor, T. g. Reed
Adams and Cayanaugh, one each. Boss
SickIes did good deal of electioneering
Tor r. 5. Horton, but Reeds followers were
too strong for him. AS soon as the ceun-
e1lmanlC nomination was over Boss Sick

printed ticket with the names of nine del
egates for the convention on Thursday
night thereon, as follows: John f. Convey,

y; =. White, A. J ellis, G. D. Shannon,
VIM. McMicken, G. L. Sickles.
When the vote was taken for delegates
and announced, the above were found to
be elected, much to the disgust Of many
who supposed there was to be no 'tput up
Job" at citizens meeting. Chairman
Convey disclaimed having any previous
knowledge Of the printed ticket, "There
was no use Of US coming here. We might
as we'll have stayed at home. They had it
all fixed, said Jacob L. Brown.

BOSS Sickels and ellis idea in getting
out printed ticket is to get into Thurs
days convention and work for the nonina-
ton oI Sam Perciyal as councilman at
large, y said well known citizen. "Giliis
is Sickels candidate for city engineer el.iS y
said another "He recommended tbe
sewer plans which the city council bought
Ior S!5O0 and which are not worth $50
PerclVal is the councilman who engineered
the purchase of those plans"
AN informal ballot was taken as an ex
preston of choice for councilman-at-laree
which was very scattering. Harry B. Nc.
Elroy received the highest number IF
votes. IL; s. M. Percival received 8.
NO choice was expressed for mayor.
