Fifth District.
The Executive Committee of the Reform

ton Of district clubs last evening. and its
efforts were crowned with success.
About o'clock large bonfire was built
at The intersection of Valencia and Mission
streets, and a youthful drummer piled his
vocation in front Of Stanford Hall
The fire and drum served to attract about
800 Democrats Of the ThirtY-fifth Assembly
District, who became very much enthused
when called TO order by eX-Judge J. f. Sui
Ivan, Chairman of the Executive Com
mttee.
Mr.. Sullivan told Of the organization of
the reform movement in the IroquOis Club
alter the defeat Of the party in the last
election, and stated that it was brought
about by proof coming TO them that Buckley
and the County Committee had sold ont.
Buckley ana bosslsm was arralgned by him,
and also the Fire Commission.
This commission is Democratic, said Mr..
Sullivan. I'VE have on 1t man named
Ames and another named Schmltt and an
other named Edwards. THey claim TO be
Democrats, and yet we find the latter, tnIee
days after the Supr enc Court declares him
entitled to his seat in the commission, ac-
cepting q position in the License Collectors
office, under a Republican administration,
ana not demanding his seat IN the Board OF
Fire Commissioners. We find the other two
acting in concert with the Republicans,
after being Instructed by Martin Kelly"
