Ward Five.
In Ward there was an effort made by
a portion of the crowded caucus to elect
Ill. q. Sweeney for chairman, but the
caucus decided to have Stephen C. Per-
ny. Then came quite struggle to get a
secretary, each man declining, until Col
onel A. W. Bradbury took pity on the
crowd and consented to serve. Then
Mr.. Mitchell was chosen to check and
count votes for Tolman, Mr.. Kavanagh
Tor Somers, and Moxcey for SWEET. Pre-
cisely at $50 o'clock, the chairman asked
if all had voted, and the answer being in
the affirmative the polls were closed
The following were the tickets:
SWEET TICKET.
William H. Moulton, Robert A. McClutchy.
James w. Plaisted, Charles j. Wiggin. Henry
Wlnsnlp, ). Il. Bradley.

soMERs TICKET.
- martin Ga II; kayanagh, James P. Began, John
| =. OConnell, Hugh A. Sweeny, William p. Mo-
han, Thomas w. Donahue.
The SWEET ticket received 70 votes, the
| Tolman IS, and the Somers So.
Ward Six.
For almost half an hour before the
| time came for the caucus to assemble
men began to gather in front of the en-
CINE house on Spring street. Each can
dldate for sheriff had his ballot distrib-
utor, and from the size of the caucus
after it was called together, the ballots
were all needed. 1t was evident that the
call OF the city committee didn't please
some of those present and they didn't
| hesitate to express the opinion that the
committee had no right to demand a
check list, and no right to state how long
the polls should be kept open.
Mr.. Luther b. Roberts called the meet
ing to order and read the call. The SWEET
ticket had slip attached bearing the
name Of Hanno W. Gage for chairman.
This slip was source of disgust to the
friends of the other candidates, and thew
insisted that no one had any business to
bring in votes for chairman in that way:
| that true Democratic caucus selected
the chairman from the floor.
II nominate VIM. HI. Green for chair
man, said voice.
Second the nomination. came from
every direction, and Green was elected,
Then Arthur Gould was elected secretary
unanimously.
Now" said Chairman Green, s'about
this check list business"
That's for the caucus to decide.'' cried
out MI. Flaherty. 1.-THE caucus is a s,1-
preme body and controls its own actions.
The city committee can call caucus for
a stated purpose, but how that caucus
will conduct its business is their bust
ness and not the committee's.''
GOOD for you,' sang out several;
''that's the true doctrine.''
'sWhat will you do with the check
list?' said the chairman.
The caucus voted unanimously to use it.
The caucus then settled down to bust
ness. These were the tickets:
