Ticket-ill- Mated Bedfe llows
4 to Make the Campaign.
The PopulSt-Lab0r-Soci conven-
ton put in the whole light in naming a
ticket and in wrangling over their diff
ferences, An adjournment was reached
at q O'clock yesterday morning with The
ticket completed. except as to some
minor offices, left to BE- filled by the ex-
ecutive committee. The ticket is one
that might have been expected from
such composite gathering, AID will in
no sense be accorded hearty support
by either the labor element or the Pop
uliStS. The fighting convention indi-
Gated that there could be no harmoni-
Gus ticket selected, and long before the
adjournment charges of bad faith were
hurled at the Populists and Socialists
by the organized labor delegates The
latter started out with fight. claiming
that they were expected to furnish
the votes for ticket that was placed in
the field by convention in which they
had only One-third of the votes, while
the other two wings, with practically no
votes. were debating a ticket that could
not receive the moral support OF organ
lied labor.
When NJ. r. Prendergast was forced
OH the convention as the candidate for
may0r.after protests from the organized
labor branch. the latter set up a howl
that caused Mr.. Prendergast to tremUle
in his boots, especially when several
delegates declared that a coffin mig hit
as well be brought in at once and the
funeral Of the tripartite party proceeded
with at once. The PopuIiSts and So
c,alistS consented to the withdrawal of
PrendergaSt and the naming OF Col.
Davidson for mayor; but the labor peo-
pie protested that they wanted to stand
by d resolution passed last Thursday in
mass meeting which bound them to
nominate no one not identified actively
with one of the three wings OF the CON-
ventOn.
An effort was then made to secure an
adjournment. bat the Populists and So
claistS declared their intention of
sticking to tuntil full ticket should
be named. After completing the ticket
as tar as could be do ne the convention
broke up, but not until after numb
Of the labor delegates had ithdrawn
with the declaration that they could not
swallow the nominations made.

aid has its weak points; but he hopes
that the executive committee may pre-
| vail on some of the candidates to with
draw, anu substitute other names.

have no strength among the laboring
people.

be defeated for place Oil the ticket,
