DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
A A1Ilkenny Time at the Mass Meet
 ing Last Night.

Harmony that shook the building With protests, the regulation Tucson democracy article, they had last night in their democratic mass meeting. AS Frank Heney put it, "you fellows fiz everything your own way, and then want harmony"
 The district court room last night was two thirds filled-in fact there were about sixty voters there. T. D. Satter- white was made chairman of the meet. ing, and M. Gervais secretary.
 As usual at all democratic gatherings two factions were in evidence. It seems one faction sprung a surprise on the other, the surprised protested emphati- caily, and then came threats of second ticket, to be gotten out today. The surprise consisted of a printed ticket, carefully concealed until the proper moment had arrived. They tried later to smooth things over by disfranchIslng the printed tickets.
 Things were going lovely after the opening of the meeting. A proposition was made for the voters presented to select sixteen names of the Tucson democrats they preferred, and the thirty two getting the highest vote would be duly elected candidates for the primaries on the Sth. It was Charles Hoff who dropped the bomb that sent their "harm- ony" scattering. He made a motion that instead of the word "thirtytwo" he would insert sixteen" Thirty-nine of those present favored the proposition, and the other eighteen were against 1t. MT. Hoff's motion prevailed, and the cockleburrs had got the first blood.
 Frank Heney then announced that he was not going to vote.
 That dId not stop others from voting though. The next crack by the cockle- burrs was printed tickets with sixteen names. Thes were said to have come from Charles Hoff's pocket, but where ever they came from they were soon in vidence-though not at once. A storm could be heard brewing over in the Montezumas camp, which burst forth presently. Meanwhile there was a great copying of tickets and then the fifteen minutes recess was declared up.
 Mir. Franklin got the floor gt once. He said that printed tickets had been prepared, showing select sixteen to be voted for. The fact that there was printed ticket gave the opportunity of saying that the meeting was Q job. He moved for a further recess of ten minutes, to give all an opportunity who had the printed ticket to prepare one of th air own. The motion WAS Hme nded that the printed ticket be refused.
 Mr. Heney followed with harmony right from the shoulder. He declared that in view of the ticket being limited to 16 names, and that printed list of sixteen tickets that they had an object in vIew. That object Mir. Joe Scott had admitted was to not endorse the territo- rial administration.
 The move he said, was done under cover and It's instigstors did not dare to make an open fight on that prOposi- ton. He said, however, they would ''have to-" He proposed to see that every democratic voters was apprised of the mBchinations and that "someone would have to go down."
 Whether the democracy will endorse the administration, as MT. Heney de- mands, or whether the administration will put up another ticket in the field, are questions that only the democrats can answer themselves.
 Voting over, the counting began, a long process which many present did not wait to see the outcome of.
 The following were the successful
