BOSSES NOW ON THE RUN.
Kelly has arrived at decision at last, and

Kelly has arrived at decision at last and
the tip has gone out from 16 Third street.
Easton is to be knitted and the gang is in
structed to cast their votes for O'Donnell in
order TO beat Ellert.
The word went out from the ginmill
yesterday morning and there was an imme-
diate commotion.
1t will be remembered that In yesterdays
CALL il was stated that a conference had
been held at which were present Kelly,
Crimmins. Dorm and Van Schaick. The dis
eussiOn lasted late into the night and ended
without decision being reached, owing to
the fact that Kelly doubted its wisdom.
1t seems now that Kelly has been over
ruled and the word has gone to the Twenty
eighth, Twenty-Dinth and Thirtieth dis
tricts. So direct is the information that its
truth cannot be doubted and no one can be
found to deny it.
This is in line with the prediction which
has been made In The CALL all the time
that Kelly and Crimmins were gradually
losing hope and were seeking to carry one
or two Offices. They wanted Blattner and
Lee In order to save their own organiza-
ton, but now they have given up Lee and
have staked everything on Blattner.
Ackerson, the Democratic nominee for
L
their combination, and the bargain, it is
said, has been made that in the event of his
election one-half of the patronage of his
Office is to go to the gang at 10 Third street.
That all this is absolutely true there can
be nj reasonable doubt and 1t shows very
clearly the desperate stIaits Into which the
bosses have fallen. They see that the Nom
Partisan movement has grown so strong
that it is sweeping all before 1t. and their
only scheme now is to wreak all the venge-
hv
Non. PartiSans as possible.
There is no denying the fact that Kelly Is
growing more desperate daily. he realizes
that the people are opposed to him from
one end OF the city to the other and that he
must in a very short time return to his junk
shop. This, of course, is not very pleas
ant prospect to a man who has grown fat
and lazy for two years without doing a
thing to earn livelihood, and the idea of
work, as consequence, has grown revolt
Ing. 1t is so much easier 20 draw down
assessments and stand in with Boards of
Supervisors that any other line of life
would be irksome in the extreme, and
Kelly's sensitive nature revolts when he
stops TO think of 1t.
That his obnoxious acts alone are to
blame for this he is unable to see, and in his
desperation he has at last resolved to turn
upon Eilert aud vent his little spite. For
the city or the municipal government he
cares nothing. His own interests are all alb
sorbing, and he imagines in his anger that
Etlert is to blame for it ALL For that rea-
son he is willing TO see the city turned over
TO the rule Of a man who is without stand
ing. and whose election would mean the
lasting disgrace of the community.
just what the result Of the orders which
have been sent out will be il is hard to
foresee, but the general impression is that
it will result In the election of Ellert to an
absolute certainty. The Third-street bosses
cannot control the gang TO the extent of
handing them over. They are sure TO break
away in large numbers, aud will go to the
strongest man.
Who that is no one who has looked into
| the situation carefully can doubt. Elert,
| so far as eau be judged by the most astute
I observers, is so far In the lead that no
power can beat him now, and this is so
generally realized that hundreds of Keais's
| men would flock to him in minute. Instkp
