Isaac Phillips, Thomas j. Hogan.
Ward Four
In the fourth ward the contest for
the aldermanic nomination was
hot between the supporters of Francisco.
Melaugh, led by Lieut.. Robinson of the
Montgomery Guards, and those of
Joseph W. Peters, led by William H.
O'Brion. In reality it was the old fight
between O'Brion and Melaugh. and this
time O'Brion won. He, last evening,
wiped out all his old scores, and is again
the giant leader of his ward. He led
well, didn't once lose his temper, and
held his forces well In hand. Lieut..
Robin son is young man, and lacked
the experience of his veteran opponent.
Lieut., Robinson as member of the
city committee, declined to call the con-
vention to order until the arrival of the
official check list of the board of registra-
ton. Mr.. O'Brion offered to give 500 if
there was name on the official list, not
to be found on his own. Mr.. Meserve, the
ward clerk, called the convention to Or
der, and Edward C.SwetG, was elected
chairman. This was an O'Brion victory
throughout
william H. Mcdonald, was nominated
for secretary, but saw no hope of getting
through the crowd, except in sections
and SO W. H. Malone, who was close by
the rail, was nominated and elected IN
his place. E.W. Meserve, B. j. Curran and
Charles Bracket, were appointed COM
mittee to present list of five members
of the city committee, and OF seven dele
gates to the city convention. They re-
ported E.W. Meserve, BARLEY J. Curran,
Michael E. Ney, Henry A. Winship and
Thomas A. Flaherty for city committee,
and John L. Bracket, Edward B. Win
slow, Joseph Fl. DeCosta, Charles
Wish, Peter j. Gill, jeremiah H. Flaherty
and Andrew J. Parker as delegates to the
mayoralty convention, and the report
was accepted.
Francis D.Melaugh, protested against
the use of the O'Brion check list, and
Lieut.. Robinson presented the official
list, and both were used. Mr.. Robinson
presented the name of Francis d.
Melaugh as a candidate for Alderman,
and Hon. George E. Bird, presented the
name of Joseph W. Peters. There was
great crowd, and a very determined
effort on both sides to win. The vote was
announced stood as follows:
Whole number of votes 206
Necessary to choice l05
Francis D. Melaugh had 80
Joseph W. Peters 11S
On motion of Mr.. Melaugh the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Peters was made unanimous.
and Winslow E. Howell, Henry A. Win
ship and Robert H. Hayes, were nomi-
mated for the council, Thomas E. Batty,
for warden and Eugene W. Meserve for
ward clerk. ssThere was some excitement
over the nomination of constable, and
"We'Il vote on it" was heard all over the
hall, but wiser councils prevailed, and
BARLEY C. Flaherty and Stephen ID. Hall
were chosen. It was an exciting contest,
and as has already been sa id a complete
victory for William H. O'Brion.
