the delgntS was d Uull anu IdIno aIulrs
only twenty votes being cast for the
eleven delegates. The eleven delegates
of course voted fer Themselves the four
firemen at the hose-house, where the
election was held, voted the straight"
ticket, leaving only five outsiders who
voted. These five outsiders were no
doubt Hon. Sam Rees, DR.. 6. w. Camp
bell, Major Davisson, Capt. L. G. Loomis
and Jo-Jo. The ticket that was whooped
through with such surprising unanim-
ity comprised the names. of AL Work
man, DR.. N. II. Morrison, w. o. Burr,
Fred Teal, sr.. Lester Osborne, Obid
Hare, JOHN Schenck, f. Z. Cochran,
Francis Bates, George L. Arnold and j.
G. Murray. 1t is acombination of the
stalwart, the mugwump and the fence
straddler, and when the convention
meets today in Illinois hall it will'be
hard to find out who has the best OF the
influence of the delegation, the Express
or the Times. Workman, Morrison, Os-
borne and Arnold are said to
be in sympathy with the Ex-
press crowd, while Deputy Con
stable Cochran has an abiding faith
in Colonel Otis. Teal is for he,party
that may appear to be the strongest,
while the rest do mot yet know which
way the cat is going to jump. Council
man&Rees was present and assisted the
judges and clerk in the herculean task
of counting the twenty votes cast, and
every time the name of Workman was
called out became visibly affected. AS
Workman is candidate himseE for the
council, and haeaalready one foot in the
trough, Rees feels respondent that the
five votes should have been given him
Saturday with so much enthusiasm.
Altogether, the affair passed of quietly
without any disturbance, and the six
pointed stars of Officers Edwards, Hof
and Gridley were not needed to sup
press any fearful uprising, and the small
boy who loafed around the hose house
expecting to witness a performance like
"going to Van Amburgh's show to see
the monkey and the kangaroo was
wofully disappointed. The delegation
from the Ninth ward will no doubt be
the observed of all observers i'll the
convention today.
