Claim Victory.
Thirty minutes before the hour as
signed for the meetings at least 300 peo-
: pie were assembled in Troup square, and
/ byt7 o'clock this number was increased by
the arrival of about 400 more. At no time
were there more than 200 in the square,
with Tammany largely in the majority,
which it had throughout the meeting.
The crowd was made up of all classes
of citizens, and the experience was new
and exciting 10 the element from the
southern part of the district, while to
those from the northeastern por ton, it
was an old story Each side had runners
posted at all of the entrances TO the
squares, who directe4 those entering it
where 10 take their positions. The Citi-
zens' Club men were lntrenched on the
south side, while the Tammanyites were
grouped on the north, Macon street being
the dividing line.
AS the hour for the opening of the
meeting approached it was plainly APP
parent that it was the intention of each
side TO hold separate meeting. The
Tammany men were packed around an
erected in the center of their
reservation; while James Mcbride
and his contingent were gathered
close TO and upon a four-wheeled truck,
which they had brought with them. A
few minutes before o'clock Mr.. j. s.
Collins, fianked by Maj Schwarz, A. N
Manucy, w. w. Osborne, J. F. Sullivan,
and others, stood up on the wagon with
| their backs to the setting sun,
while Alderman Mcmillan, p. ].
O'Conner, John A GOette, Maui
rice A. Buttimer Alderman Bohan,
and a strong contingent forced their way
| through, willing followers in and upon
the stand, not six feet away from the
wagon, between which Detectives Bosseu
and Dohn and number of policemen had
taken up their stations as cOigne of van
tage from which to swoop down upon any
| turbulent voters
| But there was no more need for their
services than there was for those of the
three or four clergymen who came down
| TO the square TO witness the proceedings
The meeting an orderly one, except for
the incessant cheering of both sides, and
there was not, at any time, the slightest
| disposition on the part Of any one to
| blows.
Both sides awaited the sounding of the
! big duke in silence, bat if it rang no one
in the crowd ever heard it. About
| o'clock both sides lined up and proceeded
10 business. Mr.. John GOette nominated

| if not, as quick MIR Manucy did like
service for }. $ Collins, and both gentle
men at the same moment and with eX-
| actly the same gestures accepted the
! honor conferred upon them. From this
| time to the end of the meeting, which did
| not last more than ten or fifteen minutes,
| the cheering on Goth sides was III
! cessant and did not for the
| fraction of a second cease. At slight in
! tervals the noise would IN a measure sub
side, and the subsistence would be taken
advantage of by the chairman to attempt
! to put a motion.

at the beginning OF the meet
ing the Tammany people claim they
were in the ascendencY from two to three
to one. Judge Ferrill stated in the hall
of the Tammany Club that the opponents
of the Citizens Club carried the district
by three to one Judge FaIligant was
also of the opinion that Tammany won.
Judge Ferrill is not a resident of the
Fourth district and took particular pains
to size up the assembly while the voting
