speech-making was closed by Chairman Dyer

THE POLITICAL POT.
Contest Between Two Demo-
cratic Factions.
YOUNG MEN VERSUS THE OLD.
Organization Of Republican Clubs In
the Second, sixth and Seventh
wsrds-Coming Meetings.

TIE Democrats OF the First ward hold meet
fpg on Friday night 70 straighten out the little
trouble which arose last Saturday evening over
the election of officers. On that occasion
Ro.nsyne Fitzgerald was chosen president, bat
some OF the Democrats OF the ward are COM
planning that the meeting began before the time
for which IL had been announced, and that
come of the voters for Fitzgerald had not signed
the club constitution.
The friends OF Mr. Fitzgerald strongly assert
that he f. tho choice of the Democrats OF the
ward for president. that his election is all right,
and that on Friday night the strength OF bis
support viii te elesrly shown.
The real root of the trouble seems 10 be that
some of the. older members of the party in the
First ward objected 70 having Fitzgerald. who Is
comparatively new I'm politics here, put forward
into such q responsible position, but the
younger men declare that they are In the ma
jority and that they will assert their strength.
This contest between the old leaders and the
newcomers 10 developing throughout the whole
city as the campaign progresses, and present in
dleations are thst considerable bitterness will
be engendered before the city election
closes. Such men as Thomas Burke, D.
Z. Durie, John Collins, D. II. Gilman,
Junius Rochester, T. T. Ronald and W. Fl. White,
who have fought through thick and thin, and
have expended their strength for countless de
feats, feel that they are properly entitled TO the
reward OF controlling their delegations during
the year when Washington becomes for the first
time factor ia national politics and casts q
vote for president
The new wine, however, Is working, and there
is every likelihood that It will burst the old
bottles. James Hamilton Lewis, the younger
Democraeys candidate for governor, is meeting
with determined opposition from the old fighters
but he is ardently bseked by John Y. Terry,
John I. Blackstone. Frank ). Foster, Joseph
Livingstone, Romayne Fitzgerald, L. C. Gilman
and a score of others who are coming into
prominence. The old men naturally look
ing with favor upon J. I. Ronald a candidate
for mayor, while the young ones are daily
growing more enthusiastic for George Donworth.
These two seem at present to be the leaders in
the race
