6RD COUNTS OUT TON HOWARD.
An Army of Policemen Called
Out to Preserve Order,
AND MAINTAIN THE HIARI7Y.


various wards for the city convention OF
this morning are SO evenly divided that
q pretty fight may be expected in the
convention unless some shrewd Wire
pulling is done before tho convention is
called.
The outlook last night was that Do
ran had developed the most strength.
Ii was openly charged among RepuO-
licans that he is the especial candidate
of the A. Z. A. element, and there were
many reasons to believe that the charge
is we'll founded. The delegation of the
Second ward, as stated by Republicans,
Is composed of y. p. A. men, with the
exception Of one nan.
The work of yesterday showed beyond
doubt that the A. p. A. is making
desperate fight for supremacy, and. in
accordance with its creed, proposes to
show no quarter to any man not in thor
ough sympathy with its principles.
Quite sprinkling of A. P. A. men,
by one means and another, found their
way into the McGill delegations; but
their are pretty good reasons to believe
that after the first ballot is cast and
these men have released themselves
from their obligations to McGill. they will
break away for Doran. There arc many
Republicans who do not sympathize
with the unAmercan institution, and
there is bare possibility that when the
cloven foot of the A. P. A. is made ap-
parent to them they will concentrate
their efforts to bring about the defeat
of the candidate of the A. p. A. Unless
this takes place the success of Doran at
the convention seems assured.
The Doran supporters claim to have
elected 73 of the 143 delegates. The Nc
Gill men claim to have elected 65. and
concede that Doran has 43 delegates.
AS figured by Republicans anxious to
know the truth of the matter, Doran
will go into the convention with 40
delegates pledged to support him from
start to finish; McGill will go in with
60 delegates, who will cast their first
ballot for him. Of these, as stated.
thirty or more have pledged only their
first ballot for McGill. There are "a
delegates whose votes are not pledged
to any candidate, and who have kept
their intentions secret.
The second ballot is figured in this
way:
First ward, McGill, Is; Doran, Z. Sec
ond ward, Doran, IA. Third ward,
DOran, 3; unknown, 6. Fourth ward,
McGill, 10. Fifth ward, Doran, 4; un-
known, 6. Sixth ward, Doran, 19. Sev-
enth ward, McGill, Q; Doran, 2; un-
known, IA. Eighth ward. Doran, 9; un.
known, 9. Tenth ward, AIcGill, 6:
Eleventh ward, McGill, 5. These fig
ures make totals of 43 for McGlll, 65 for
Doran and So unknown.
If this result comes true, it is safe to
believe that in the third ballot Dorar's
strength will be further increased. un-
less the Republicans who are opposed
10 the A. p. A. movement become
aroused and unite against the Doran
cohorts. There is some probability
that this may be done. If it be done,
McGill has possibility of catching the
united anita. P. A. element; but his
possibility is not a great one.
The unknown element is in a GUAM
do for nd dntA t.
Ing eyes upon E. G. Rogers, coquetted
with the name of w. Ii. Llghtner, has
even dained to glance at Gen. John B.
Sanborn. and may spring Wright as a
fnallty.
In case the Republican opposition to
the A. L. a. movement becomes
aroused, unity may be effected upon
one or other of these three men.
However, the McGill men are many of
them so thoroughly determined to not
be downed by any candidate sprung by
the Wright faction, that they may hang
out until it is too late to defeat Doran.
The A.P.A. men held brief meeting
at the Ryan last evening to concentrate
their action for today. just what they
did could not be learned.
At 9 O'Clock this morning conference
will be held at Market hall between the
McGill and Doran delegates to decide
who shall withdraw from the race, so it
Is said. Also to decide upon a chair
man for the convention. The Doran
delegates VIII favor w. Ii. Lightner
for chairman, and the McGill men will
favor f. c. Stevens for the place.
d. j. McCardy is the unanimous choice
