Republicans BuIIdozed by Crimmins' and
Kelly's Rabble.
The following description of the treat
ment of bons-dde Republican voters in the
Tbirty-eighth Assembly District by tie
Kelly Crimmins junta and its bands OF
mercenaries known as 'Rcck-rollers, -
Telegraph Hill Tigers" and Cow Hollow
Cowboys" is but an example of the course
pursued by the s0-caled bosses in other
districts Of the city.
The experiences of the Republicans of the
Thirty-eighth are related by S. X. Thornton,
an old resident Of the district
About two weeks ago five old residents
of the Thirty ghth Assembly District de-
cided to call a conference of the RepubIi-
cans of the district. My family being alb
sent from the city, gave them the use of
my house for the purposes OF the meeting.
Invitations were issued to 40 gentlemen
from every part OF the district. In maxim 2
these selections we agreed that everything
in the way of faction should be set aside.
In accordance with this view, we invited a
number of pronounced CTtmmins and Kelly
men 10 take part in the conference. and to
show that 1T was in no sense factional.
Among those invited were Meyer Jacobs
and w a. : Nicholson Of the County Com
mittee, NJ. A. Dorm and Alexander Nc
Boyle. president Of Crimmins, and kelly's
club, 1l5 kearny street
About - persons responded TO the invi-
tation. 1t was stated by the callers of the
conference that factional questions were to
be set aside and the conference was TO be
= one of the Republicans OF the district. The
Kelly and Crimmins men participated and
agreed TO this proposition. The names Of
six gentlemen for delegates to the State con-
Yention were discussed and agreed upon
subject to the approval of the district club
"A call for a meeting Of the district club
was advertised iH four daily papers. Il took
place in Mowry's Hall last Monday night
There were but about 70 bona-fide residents
OF the district present But the Crimmins
and Kelly people arrived by the carload
until there were abouts 400 present. They
took possession of the hall, elected a chair
man and opened a roll. They ignored every
protest and voted three and four times.
Il have lived in the district twenty-five
years and did not know one in ten OF those
present. The whole of the Fulton Club of
the Thirty-seventh District was there, and
also part of the Bear Club of another dis
triet. The Morrow and the Howard clubs
were also represented.
County Clerk Blattner stood downstairs
and gave the outsiders names, street and
number Of residents Of the district to vote

Tcckrellers to vote three and four times

OF the district left the hall in disgust, and
the rabbte was allowed to vote their names
three or four times after they had gone.
From this meeting emanates ticket TO be
voted by the Republicans Of the Thirty
eighth District.
Among the leaders were County Clerk
Blattner, City and County Attorney burst,
Meyer Jacobs and w. A. S. Nicholson, NJ.

about 20 employees of the County Clerk 5

''The bona-fde Republicans of the dis
trict who repudiate the Burns Mahoney
and all other factions, have put ticket in
the field with Mark Sheldon at its head"
DE YOUNG STEPS IN.
He Tries to Reconcile Kelly and Har-
rington-
Martin Kelly is decidedly uneasy over the
outlook in the Twenty-eighth District,
which he has boasted of carrying around in
his vest pocket for several years. His old
enemy, Billy Harrington, who is shifty
man IN primary fight and who has given
Kelly many hard tussle for supremacy, is
out for blood and says he will win or keer
Kelly so busy that he will have no time to
move his heelers around the different parts
of town.
Yesterday an attempt was made to patch
the fead up and Nike de Dung attempted
10 act as mediator. During the forenoon
lie sent for Kelly and CTimmins and Billy
Harrington. The latter showed up AS did
also Crimmins, but Kelly failed to put in an
appearance. In his stead be sent DIR.
Meyers, chairman OF the County Committee.
who was authorized to act.
Harmony was urged aud the proposition
made that il Harrington would call it off
the delegation would be evenly divided be-
tween the two factions. it was also agreed
that Harrington should have the naming of
one Republican candidate for the State Seu-
ate.
Harrington refused to enter into any CON-
promise, and declared that he would fight it
cut.
From this it will be seen that every effort
will be made to beat Kelly in lis own dis
trict and If this is done he will be practi-
cally driven out of the party. The better
element of Republicans are doing every
thing to help the fight against him.
