The Democratic caucus last night In the
Tenth Ward moved along just ss WAS ex-
pecIed. The McGann or anti west
crowd would have nothing whatever TO
do with il, and the West delegates, were
showed right in. The large size OF the

encouraging TO the leaders. Every
effort was made to bring out every
possible supporter, and the result
was something like 600 The ticket Ia as
Councilmen, George III. West, Timothy +.
Ryan, j. ID. San Souci, William j. Beane.
The Republican caucus Ia held tonight.
William Covell, "the SILENT" holds sway
here and the order OF business will un-
doubtedly be something like this: The
