no ELECTION IN THE THIRD.

To use the words of Chairman Charlton,
of the democratic executive committee,
the mass meetings last night were beauti-
fully AMIGA bic and pleasant to behold. In
other words they were just the opposite
Only one city district the Fourth, cleo
ted its ticket, and there will be a contest
even there. In both the first and second
districts meetings We're held by the two
factions, and each claims the election of
its own ticket. In the Third the quiet
orderly, kid-slovcd Third, the meeting did
not even succeed in electing a chair
man, and after over an hours wrangling
and hand-to-haud scuHiug, it was ad
.ourned by agreement to o'clock Friday
night at the thelter. The Third had the
most disordcrly meeting Of the lot. The
action Of few unrUly partisans on both
sides prevented a count being taken. A
fair count would have given the meeting
To Tammany and the Democratic Club by
4 clear ma orlty, but the contention was
kept up until the Russell men poured in
from the other districts and by increas-
ing the disorder made it impossible for
either side 10 do anything.
QUIET IN THE COUNTRY.
The country districts, on the contrary,
conducted their business in very quiet
and orderly manner The Democratic
Club and Tammany carried the Fifth and
Seventh districts and the Citizens Club
the Eighth district by an overwhelming
maiory The Sixth district is yet to be
heard from.
Chairman Charlton declined to express
any opinion last night upon the results
of the mass meetings. He will wait until
all the returns are in, and will then en-
deavor to restore order out of chaos. AS
matters stand now the chairman says he
is the only man who has any authority to
take action. 1t is a question whether
there is any democratic executive com
mittee, with the exception of the six or
eight members elected by the country
districts.
The crowds gathered in the squares
long before the hour appointed for open
ing the meetings. BY $50 o'clock there
was crowd at each meeting place of
from 400 to 500 voters. The partisans of
the two sides massed themselves in oppo-
sing bodies under the direction Of their
leaders, and promptly upon the hour each
crowd nominated its chairman and pro-
ceeded to hold its meeting. A force of
from ten to twenty policemen, each squad
commanded by a sergeant, was at the
meetings to preserve order.
