to act as Chairman while the question
was being decided, and called j. b. De-
vine TO the chair.

mediately the crowd set up yell for
Jones, and for nearly an hour the con-
fusion prevailed. The Jones element
was evidently in the majority. and Fun

himself heard long enough TO call upon
the crowd to separate. he and his friends

AT SHEARS HALL.
As a result of the contention between
the Opposition and Regulars, two tickets
were put up at the caucus held at Twen-
tieth and @ streets.
The meeting place was so crowded that
every DOQV had to stand
Committeeman G. n. Post called the
caucus to order. In his remarks he
urged good will and concert of action
after the caucus had performed it's labors.
He said he noticed a number of nom
voters present, and thought it would be
good taste if they would refrain from
taking any part in the meeting.
When he had finished the sentence
calling for nominations for Chairman,
{. II. Merry nominated A. j. Bruner
and f. Rohrer nominated j. w. Wilson.
Immediately the crowd, which by this
time had become so large that person
could hardly turn around, commenced to
yell for both of the nominees. The yell
ing and cheering Kept up for nearly
twenty minutes.
AT last both Bruner and Wilson
mounted table above the crowd, and
with much difficulty succeeded in quiet
ing them for minute. Wilson coun-
seled peace, and said that he and Bruner
had proposition to make to the caucus.
Those that werein favor of Bruner were re-
QueSted TO range themselves on the north
side of the hall, and those in favor of
Wilson TO do likewise on the south side.
Immediately the adherents of both gen.
tlemen set TO yelling and cheering again,
and commenced to form on both sides of
the hall. 1t was hard to determine who
was elected, for the men would not keep
an open space between the two sections

ner's followers, consisting of J. Il. w.

read the list of names of those selected,
and although the noise was so great that
