z Is 4. /
John Il. M 81 owan, John r. ORellly
and Robert D. Stnong, oil being r..si-
dents Of the First ward, the Third ward
precincts presenting no candidate.
It1is charged by Mr. MCGOWAN and
his friends that Alderman Kiichll
promised them faithfully that the can
dldate receiving majority of the votes
OF the delegates from the First ward
would receive the nomination, If it were
in his power to bring about that result
with the delegates from the Third ward
precincts, and with this understanding,
Mr.. McGowan, backed by the unanimous
vote Of the Irish. American Club Of the
First ward, went into the caucuses on
Thursday night Of last week With the
otuer candidates. The result of the eau
eusss;gave to Mr.. .McG owan, 10 votes, to
Mr. o Reilly IA, and to Mr.. Strong 8,
with the 19 votes from Kuchli's strong
hold to do the rest It looks very much
as though Joe was very much in the
fight, for the Third ward precincts proved
McGowan's waterloo, only few Of their
delegates standing by him on either bal
lot. On the informal ballot O'Rsilly re-
ceived %, MCGOWAN. % and Strong 4.
The next ballot nominated O'Reilly, who
had 80 votes to McGowan's %. To say
that McGowan's friends we're warm at
the result would be expressing it mildly
indeed.
A meeting of the Irish. American Club
of the First ward was called. tor last
Tuesday night to take action in the mat
ter and after session lasting several
hours the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
Whereas. The Irish American Club of
the First Ward Endorsed John T. Nc
Gowan as candidate Cor the legislature
for the east half of the Twenty ninth
senatorial district, and
Whereas, Said caucuses indorsin9 said
candidate were composed wholly of legal
voters Of the First ward, voting in their
respective precincts, and were eminently
capable of deciding whom they desired to
represent them in the coming session of
the legislature, and
Whereas, Every prestige was brought
to bear on the voters in the various pre-.
cincts by three cornered combination,
extending from the Third ward and TAX
ing IN every faction and ring in the First
ward. and every energy was exhausted
to defeat the candidate put forward by
this club; and, in view Of The fact that
despite the untiring efforts of the strong
est combination ever formed in our ward
John T. MCGOWAN came out of the prim-
aries with clear aud decisive m aj GRITTY,
and the public considered the nonina
ton assured, in view of the fact that Mr..
Kiichli assured committee from this
body that if Mr.. MCGOWAN received a
majority of the delegates from the First
ward that he would assure them the
delegation from the west half of the dis
trict, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we as voters of the
+ .rst ward, most emphatically condemn
the action of J. l. Kiichli in taking up a
candidate whom we had rejected, and,
through his political trickery, defying
our actions and choice in the matter, and
Resolved, That we positively and en-
phatically refuse to support the political
mountebank at the polls and will do all
in our power to defeat him in An honor
able way. We further entreat all re-
spectacle Democratic voters to join with
us in our effort to accomplish his defeat.
