PEACE PREVAILS AT LAST.
The Two Factions of the Democracy
Bury the lIatchet.
A Ticket Nominated by Placing s'Re-
form'' Candidates on the List
No state Senator Yet.

After weeks of dissention, contention
and discord, peace finally reigns in the
ranks of the County Democracy.
The work of harmonizing the two fac
tions-the regulars and the reform
ers," has been going on for some time,
but the prospect of ultimate success did
not brighten up until yesterday. Then
the two sides got together lin sections) and
it was finally agreed to bury the hatchet.
The result was made manifest at meet
of the regular" Democratic County
Central Committee, which took place last
evening at the State Library.
The ''reformers" had originally de-
creed to stand out and make fight of
their own on election day-to make mar
tvs of themselves, as some of them ex-
pressed it. But the candidates on the
reform ticket realized that with
the party divided in this manner,
it would be useless for them to even have
any cards printed, much less get out and
rustic" among the voters, and they did
not like the stand taken by their Central
Committee. They wanted the regular
nomination, and made no bones about
saying SO. Some Of them even appeared
before the regulars committee and re-
the reform ranks.
But its all over now, and both sides
Will go in as Democrats without any fur
ther definition.
The regular County Central Commit
tee filled out the blanks on its ticket last
night with the names of the ''reformers' I"
candidates: the ''reformers" in return
recognize the authority of the Central
Committee. The candidates Will burn up
their petitions, and everybody agrees to
pull hard for the ticket.
The first thing done at last nights
meeting was to pass a resolution rescind-
ing all the proceedings of last weeks
meeting Of the committee. Then another
resolution was passed to the effect that no
Republican should be indorsed on the
Democratic ticket
w. 5. Leake told the committeeman
that he had been in communication with
Max Pepper, who was delegated by the
State Central Committee to come to this
city and read the riot act" to the local
Democrats. Mr.. Pepper had sent up
word that he was busy, and unless the
prospect of harmony in. the ranks was
absolutely hopeless here, he would stay
home. Mr.. Leake sent back word that
his services would not be needed-that all
would end we'll.
Then the committee proceeded to COM
plete the ticket. There was no available
candidate for State Senator, but a com
mlttee, consisting of X. ID. Stephens,
Henry Dehn and w. II. Williamson, was
appointed to confer with several promi-
nent Democrats who might accept the
nomination.
The next blank on the ticket was for
Superior Judge, and Matt +. Johnson
was the unanimous choice. For County
Clerk the committee accepted NJ. X.
Beard, although that gentleman was
not especially desirous OF being martyr.
so 1t is said, and had declined to affiliate
