Ward Ten.
A quiet caucus in the Tenth, would in
deed be an innovation in city politics.
Last nights was no exception to the rule,
and as a result the city convention will
have to decide between two delegations
which will be sent by their respective fac
tions, one chosen by the regular caucus
and the other by a lusty band of "bolters." J"
The name Of William III, O'Neil will also
90 on the ticket on election day as an in
dependent candidate for school committee
man, although he was showed under at
the caucus.
All were fairly well until it came to the
vote for school committee. Two hours
had already been consumed in balloting
for chairman, which resulted in the
election of Luke kavanagh, who defeated
Col James III. McGann by n vote of 291 to
207 When Mr. kavanagh called for nomi-
nations for school committee the con
fusion began.
Finally the hubbub subsided little and
the name of William O'Neil was put in
by the anti-West faction. Then the bal
loting began and about twenty five citizens
voted when James G. Monaghan demand
ed the right to speak. Chairman kava-
naugh granted his request and Monaghan
took his stand behind the rail where he
could overlook the voters. Pandemonium
ensued and all the efforts of the chairman
would not keep the crowd quiet.
Monaghan held his ground and declared
that he would speak against George j.
West and the crowd insisted that he
shouldn't. and he didn't.
William III. O'Neil, the anti-West candi-
date then climbed TO the rail and demand
greeting similar to that which Monaghan
had received, and after several vain at
tempts to make himself heard he too
withdrew.
Then the balloting proceeded, and re-
suited in vote of 26l for West aud l5i for
O'Neill. Two complete tickets were
placed i'm the field for delegates to the
convention. The West ticket comprised
the names of j. o. San Souci; W. Il. Foil
mar, Joseph Burke, William j. Beane
and Peter j. McElroy, and was chosen by
vote of lSl TO 425 4 second caucus was
held, and the defeated ticket of the reg
ular caucus comprising the names of NJ.

johnson, NJ. j. Murray and Charles Nc
