elsewhere the Democrats are net fully
united, Notwithstanding the game Of
bluff played by the o-called independents
in pledging the labor vote to support the
Democratic ticket.
The trouble began when Messrs Ives
and Mccormick were showed under at
the direction of the chief. ex-Mayor
Honey. Hon. Charles Acton Ives has
already made grand record as a clean
lawyer and legislator, his work in the
general assembly being for the best in
well-known master builder and has
served several years in the city coun-
Gil. Both are excellent conser-
vative men representing the bet
ter class or element OF the
local democracy, But they were men
lash, and the edict went forth to drop
their names aud when the slate was
made "up among the rafters" two more
pliable men were put In their places,
much to tue disgust OF all respec table
Democrats. With u great flourish the
Boss referred to the nomination of Henry
Astor Carey and George Gordon King.
The latter's name, however, was placed
there entirely against his express Ell wish
and he very promptly sent a letter OF de-
clinatiou To tue secretary OF state. The
first news OF his declinatlon was received
over the wires from Providence, ana :as
may be imagined, it's public itioL cause
tremendous sens ition throughout the
city, and carried CONSERVATION into
the ranks of the Democrats. Az once
the more respectable portion felt that
surely Mr.. Ives would NIL the gap i; but
not so, as the name of young man with
no qualifications at ali for the position
was inserted in he place OF Mr.. King.
The independent cluD SO called was

ing first class cranks. IL was fake TO
catch the labor vote but thoroughly
failed in its intent. The aboring men
