tions Harmonious.

There was quite gathering Of mem
bers of the respective County Central
Committees of the Reorganized and
Regular Democracy yesterday afternoon
in County Assessor Irvine's Office.
The meeting was for the purpose of
making arrangements for to-night's iolli-
fication over the Democratic victory in
Tuesdays elections.
Chairman w. S. Leake OF the Regu-
lars Central Committee stated that word
had been received from General T. J.
Clunie and Ed Leake, to the effect that
they were willing to join the local speak
ers in making ratification addresses. The
offers were accepted with thanks.
A list was then made up OF local speak
ers, consisting of r. d. Stephens, ,ex-Judge
}. W. Armstrong, Major w. A. Gett, Su-
perior Judge-elect Matt +. Johnson. r.
NJ. Clarken, Oscar S. Flint. H. C. Ross,
Jr., A. {. Hinkson, Robert Barnett, J.
w. Hughes, w. w. Cuthbert and others.
Superior Judge-elect Matt +. Johnson
objected to the appearance of Judge Arm
strong on the rOstrum. The latter had
fought him bitterly on election day and
he did not propose to sit on the same
platform with Judge Armstrong. The
ldllCI IdIIiG WAS InGT6uDOn stricken
from the list.
After some discussion, in which all
hands took part, with the greatest appar-
ent good feeling toward each other so far
as the two factions were concerned it was
agreed that there should be procession
"a rooster and fish-horn affair-and they
calculated upon having at least thou
sand in line.
Money to defray expenses being one of
the first requisites, committee to gather
in the dollars was appointed as follows:
r. G. Irvine, j. w. Hughes, 0. S. Flint.
J. NJ. Sullivan, Robert Barnett, Ed
Bovyer, Ii. NJ. Bernard, A. Green and
Major William Mclaughlin. A subscrip-
tion-list was Immediately opened, and
quite a snug sum was made up from the
pockets of the enthusiasts present.
1t was decided that the speaking should
take place at the Plaza. The procession
will first form at the old Pavilion, and
after traversing the principal streets
wind up at the Plaza. 1t was announced
that over 500 torches had been kindly
loaned by the Republican uniformed
clubs, and about as many more would
arrive from San Francisco. Sam Leake
was appointed Grand Marshal of the
parade.
Messrs. Leake, Beard and Nichols were
appointed Committee on Music, and
Messrs. Clarken, Hugo Hornlein and
transparencies. A Committee on Fish
horns and COwbells was appointed, con-
sisting of j. NJ. Sullivan, Anthony Green
and Oscar Flint.
r. NJ. Clarken was selected to preside
at the Plaza meeting. He and Mr.. Irvine
We're authorized to select an appropriate
number of Presidents.
This completed the arrangements, and
the meeting adjourned.
When all of the committees were ap-
pointed, Harry Bernard suggested that
no one should act on any of the commit
tees who had voted against any Democrat.
This brought J. NJ. Sullivan to his feet.
He said they could take his name off anv
and all the committees. He had voted
against r. Q. Cravens for Police Judge
and had worked against him at the polls.
and was glad he had.
Some one suggested that inasmuch as
there were many more Democrats who
had fought Cravens, Bernard's sugges-
ton would hardly be proper, so the mat
ter was dropped.
