BURNS MAKES KELLY QUIT.
The County Committee to Be Re.
united at Once.
Wilson States That the Agreement Has Been
Reached by Accepting the Recent
Ultimatum.

There will probably be a meeting OF the
Republican County Committee tonight. at
which time it is believed the existing
differences in the party will be patched up
and harmony restored. Several conferences
took place yesterday between leaders OF the
rival factions at which the agents Of Kelly
and Crimmins asked for a compromise, but
were met by Burns with a square refusal.
The latter stated positively that he would
make no concessions, and would never re-
cede from his present position.
81 delivered an ultimatum through the
columns OF the press several days ago."
Burns is quoted as saying, land you may
tell the Third-street people that L meant
just what said. On behalf of my friends
L demanded equal representation inside the
polling places and returning board Of ten
reputable Republicans, i've TO be selected
from each faction. Those ten am willing
should be chosen IRON among the %
new members of the County Committee.
Whenever you are willing te accept that our
men VIII 90 back TO their old seats and not
before. Our action was not intended as
bluff, but if you are foolish enough to
think SO Just go ahead and see where
you will land"
FINALLY ACCEPTED.
The result of this was that after some
little backing and Milling, which failed TO
shake Burns determinations the Kelly and
Crimmins people decided to accept the
terms as proposed. and late last night they
gave it out that the fight in the committee
was at an end.
According to J. n. E. Wilson the agree
ment as reached is that each faction Shall
name one each of the judges inspectors and
clerks, and the returning board shall be in
strueted TO throw out the returns from all
places where barricadeS are erected or
where the polling place has been changed
after having been announced. This latter
is to prevent Kelly from adopting his old
plan of shifting the polls to out-of-the-way
places.
III TIE agreement has been reached, as
both sides admit that it has, the seeding
county committee men will resume their old
seats To- night and proceed with business as
formerly.
Barns claims that with tie equal division
OF clerks and judges his followers will wipe
Kelly and Crimmins ont OF existence and
that the Third-street "bosseS" will not be
heard of Ill the Stockton convention.
BURNS AND NIKE.
1t is hinted that if this is carried out
Mr.. de Young Will be left at home TO re-
fleet over his recent utterances about IN in
Structed delegations and similar nonsense.
1t IS known, In fact, that the success OF
Kelly and Crimmins would mean the tenI-
porary advancement of De Young. and for
that reason it is said Burns believes the de-
cent people will stand by him in the fight
at the primaries. Ii is an open secret
that Burns is bitter in his opposition
to Mike and bluntly told him in a recent in
terview that he proposed to fight him to the
bitter end. Burns, ii is claimed, told De
Young that If every man in the State were
for him he (Burns) would still oppose him.
This is taken to mean that Burns VAL
keep him away from Minneapolis If pos
sible.
