Ever since the election troubles Of last winter
IN the Second district rumors have been dying
about to the effect that the Justice had lost a
large part OF his following, and that his inilu-
ence az n political leader was on tho wanp. II
was also said that Thos. F. Foley was about to
seccdc and form an opposition society. These
ruinors, together with the vigorous attacks on
Tammany all along the line this year, put the p.
DIVERS on their mettle. They gritted their
tc"th firmly. and matle up their minds thut this
years demonstration should eclipse all previous
efforts.
Michael C. Padden, who is an nspirant for the
nomination for Alderman. got his followers into
line. and jeremiah J. Cronin. who Is also looking
for the nomination, was equally industrious in
marshallinR his cohorts. Nicholas +. Brown,
the present Alderman and the President of the
7. Diver Association. also did some hustling In
u quiet and digniiCd way. He is willing to run
for Congress In place Uf Edward !. Dunphv,
who is not popular with the +. DIVERS MIR.

the association and its methods.
The result of nll this activity on the uurt Of
the leaders was that over l.TOO men paid SIS
apiece for their tickets and the uc~coutrcments
which went with them, and made the trip yes
