MATTER
Thought Not Advisable to Declare
at Present.

at Present.
The Democratic Club Of Ramsey
County had a very animated meeting
last night. After holding an open ses-
sion, the club went into executive ses-
sion with the intention of coming out
lat-footed for Cullen for mayor" as
several members of the club stated both
before and after the meeting. The
discussion over the matter was quite
heated for nearly two hours, and it was
developed that there was a strong oppo-
Sition to the movement. Capt. Fl. Gal
lick, of the Fourth ward, lead the forces
in opposition to the Endorsement project,
and declared that the club could not
afford to take such a Stand at this time.
He said that a handful of men have
no right to declare who the
candidate should be. The club
should secure delegations regularly
chosen from each ward and should
know the sentiment of a majority of
the Democrats before any man should
be Endorsed. Several speeches were
made in the same strain by others. G.
J.. McDermott advised waiting awhile
before taking such action, as also did
+. Il. O'Neiii and others. Pat O'Brien
and Owen Mulgrew made a hard fight
to get the club to declare itself ON a
candidate. and both declared that the
end of the club had come if it did not
come out with the sentiments it was
formed to carry out. A motion was
finally put to a vote TO table further dis
cusSiOn on the proposition for two
weeks, and this prevailed by a vote of
26 IN favor of postponementt to 6 against.
After the meeting several of the mem
bors expressed their disapproval Of the
course pursued, and declared that
another meeting of the club will never
be held.
A letter from the Burns club was read
which enclosed resolutions passed by
that club declaring in favor of prima-
rieS at all the voting precincts two
weeks before the city election and fa-
voring pure primaries. The sentiment
of the. resolution was adopted after
some debate. G. j. Milligan and P. D.
Scannell, of the Ramsey county De-
mocracy, were present and made
speeches by invitation. Scannell al
luded to his recent ejectment from the
club and expressed qualification at be-
ing asked for a speech. The president
was authorized TO appoint a committee
to proceed with the organization of
ward clubs. A committee was also
named to confer with committees from
other clubs in the city which claim to
be Democratic, with a view of confer
ring on points in common.
