inch Tammany and the Democratic
Clubs hold to it that they have carried

held except the Eighth, and the Citizens
Club claims to have carried every city dis
trict, even including the Third, in which
no election WIS held.
After the meeting in the Third had
been adjourned by the consent of the
leaders Of 10th sides to the theater Fri
day night and the greater portion OF the
crowd had dispersed, DR.. Falligant con-
s.iiuted himself chairman OF what was

TOMORROW NIGHT's MEETING.
The meeting Of the third district will
be held at the tbeater as agreed upon,
and the results Of this meeting will be ac-
tcptGd by the chairman Tho business of
the meeting will be taken w ut the point
at which 10 was left of at the time of the
ad sournment Tue sday night, with Mr.. j.
k Anderson presiding rs temporary
chairman and the nominations of MIR
Cam and Mr.. duBignOn for permanent
chairman awaiting the action of the
meeting. The election of the chairman
will practically decide to which side be-
longs the victory.
THE meeting will be held as an
nounced," said Mr.. Anderson yesterday.
II have published calls in all the daily
papers. Steps will be taken to prevent
the attendance of any at the meeting ex-
cept residents of the Third district. For
this purpose each side will be requested
to name doorkeepers in order that no
partisans of either side from other dis
tricts may be allowed TO enter. Only one
door will be open and every person who
enters will have to pass through this door
and be subjected 10 the inspection of the
doorkeepers.
TO GIVE AMPLE TINE.
''In order that ample time may be
allowed for the crowd to gather the
doors will be opened at O'Clock, one
hour before the time for the meeting"
MIR. Anderson said. THE crowd will be
able to file in in the same manner as is
done at the regular performances at the
theater, and there will be no difficulty
for all who are entitled to do so to enter
in ample time for the meeting. Circum-
stances have placed me in control of the
meeting, and l shall do everything in my
power to give an impartial showing to
both sides"
The agreement to hold the meeting at
the theater, as outlined by Mr.. Anderson,
meets with approval. The people of the
Third district are thoroughly aroused at
the conduct of the partisans from the
other districts, who made it impossible to
reach vote at the mass meeting at the
confederate monument Tuesday night
and they will be out in force tomorrow
night to express their disapprobation of
such methods.
THE WAY 1T STANDS NOW.
AS it stands now only eight uncontested
delegates have been elected, these being
the eight members from the four country
districts. OF these the Democratic Club
elected six and the Citizens Club two. In
kA1C luGGtiAlE VI Vic Il II III ulSlElCU, 0Glu at
Isle of Hope, John @. Smith and George
/. Cam were elected by vote of AZ to 20.
The meeting was warmly contested for
awhile, the delay Of the car from Thun-
derbolt conveying Mr.. Smiths friends to
the meeting giving the opposition chance
by which it was not wise enough to profit
The arrival OF the car with the Smith
contingent dashed their hopes to the
ground and the further proceedings didn't
interest them.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
The meeting of the Sixth district was
held in the pavilion at Montgomery.
There was only little handful of demo
Gratis present, but they were all that were
TO be found in the district, and their pro
ceedings were thoroughly unanimous.
Mr.. L. I. Turner was elected chairman
and Col. G. H. Olmstead secretary Col.
Olmstead and Mr.. J. b. West were unan-
imously elected members from the Sixth.
and the ticket at large agreed upon by
the Tammany and Democratic Clubs re-
ceived the full vote of the meeting
In the Seventh district there was only
one meeting. 1t was small but unani-
nous. Henry Shuman and Charles A.
Norris were elected members of the dis
trict committee, and the anti-Russell
ticket at large received the unanimous
vote. There was no meeting held in the
Seventh district last year.
THE NEW COMMITTEE.
There is a question now whether the
newly elected members of the committee
whose seats are uncontested have not the
right TO meet and organize the committee.
According TO the custom of organized
bodies they have this right, and if they
should be disposed TO exercise it, no one.
it is claimed, could prevent them. Ii is
hardly likely that they will do so, how
ever under the circumstances. Chairman
Charlton's opinion was asked on this
point yesterday, but he declined TO ex-
press himself. In fact, he declined to ex-
press any opinion upon the results of the
mass meetings when asked what he
should do in the effort to unravel the
tangle
