PIE FIENDs AND THE RING.
Their Fight for Democratic NOminn-
t~iOns-Fight Agninst Bynum.

The Democratic primaries will be held
Friday night to select delegates to the
county convention. which will convene at
9 o'clock the day following. The contest
i'm the convention will be between the
courthouse ring and the 'pie tiends." n
large number of local Democrats are not
loathe to express themselves as opposed
TO the courthouse ring and say that the
set of men who have been controlling mat
tiers in the county for the past eight years
must step aside. Bud Swift is endeavor-
ing TO make himself the leader of the
pie fend" forces by declaring that if
elected auditor he will discharge every
person now employed in the office. The
strength of the pie fiends' is uncertain.
They claim that they will be sufficient
to prevent the ring from being successful
in the convention. The ring assumes to
treat the opposition with contempt and
declares that it is Insignificant. a large
part of the dissatisfaction is due to the
a place in the postofice did not get it.
Each of the disappointed ones thinks he
should have been given a place instead
of somebody that was. In the distribution
of these positions the old courthouse ring
was the only force, recognized and the
anti-ringers harbor that fact as an addi-
ticnal grudge. But few of the candidates
nave been making an ante-cOnvention cam
that this is a year when the party will
ask for candidates instead of the states
having TO ask and work for the nominal
ton. Some states have been mentioned,
but are not creating much of a commo-
ton in the ranks of those not included
in them. The question of a tariff plank
will prove troublesome for the convention.
a prominent Democrat was asked yeSter-
day what sort of a tariff plank the con-
vention would adopt. and answered that
il would stand by the President and lower
house. He Immediately modified the an
swer by saying he supposed it would do
this.

ton 10 his denomination when he returns
To this city. The old storm of opposition
that he oyercame in his second canvass for
the nomination is gathering and prom
ises 10 be stronger than it was at that
about for a candidate with which TO op-
pose him. and there is a general opinion
among them that Capt. j. r. Curtis is the
man. Captain Curtis is not a candidate,
but the opponents of Bynum say they
know he would accept the nomination If it
were rendered him without solicitation.
The Names OF John X Wilson and John
w. Kern have both been mentioned as
opponents OF Bynum. The friends OF MI.

any circumstances. one of the principal
causes or the opposition 10 Bynum is the
appointments which he has made. The
man who finds a large patronage at mis-
disposal always gets into more or less
trouble over Ii. and the anti-Bynumites
are very bitter against him upon the score
OF his appointments. They say that he

THE ~SLOT-MACHINE WAR.
Only Four Machine Men Attended the
Meeting Last Night.

chimes called a meeting for the Gray Club
Hall last night. AT the hour appointed for
the meeting a half dozen owners of ma
chimes appeared at the hall. They waited
some time for others to appear, but as none
of them came the meeting was postponed
to a future date. The meeting was for the
purpose of discussing the situation in re-
lation to the defense of T. x. Igoe, who
was arrested for operating one of the ma
chimes. The machines have proven a source
of great profit to their owners and they
do not intend TO abandon them If they can
prevent the enforcement of the order. In
some of the places the machines have net
ted their owners as high as SIS a day. The
owners of them think superintendent Pow
ell should permit the Igoe case to stand as
a test case. He says, however, that he WIFI
not do this and will continue to arrest ev-
cry person found operating one, and will
also arrest the person playing them.

yesterday evening by John Dunn. who was
until Monday afternoon a member OF the
department. Rogers was severely cut in
the face and neck with a knife which Dunn
drew from his pocket. The latter was
called before the Board of Public Safety
on Monday, and after an investigation of
the charges against him the board found
that he was not competent to fulfill the
duties of a fireman. He was discharged
from the service of the city, but was asked
to remain at the No. 6 engine house until
yesterday. On Monday night he returned
from supper slightly under the influence of
liquor and at midnight the foreman sent
him home. He did not return to work
yesterday morning. but at 6 O'Clock last
night entered the house and accosted
Capt. Coots. Dunn had been drinking
freely and began making threats against
persons whom he supposed had preferred
charges against him. He accused Coots of
this, but the latter denied having anything
to do with his dismissal, and Dunn finally
agreed to accompany him to the office of
the Board Of Safety to-day, where Coots
said that he could prove his innocence.
Dunn then turned his attention to Rogers,
and remarked that there was one man

still under the influence of liquor, but ac-
companled the officer TO the station house.
He was charged with assault and battery

arrest he was released on a bond of s., 900.
DR.. Z. Nj. Eisenbaiss was called to see

around, the throat to the chin. Dunn was
formerly stationed at fire headquarters,
where he was known as an excellent fire
man.
