n. Tim. Extended for Candidates for the
c.m-,t,.c 20 Auneuuos Themselves
and the Assessment Revoked.

IN. CITY Democratic Committee las
evening had boisterous but good
aaturcd meeting.
Az previously stated, there were no.
enough candidates offering for the CITY
Democratic Committee TO elect fui
membership 10 that commttee-o"'y
uxteen out OF thirty having paid their
assessments. The principal business OF 'he
meeting was TO arrange for the Voting-
b,aces and the clerks and judges ana dc-
wise some means for electing full COM
hittee.
A great deal OF speaking and discussion
MAS INDUCED in. nearly every one OF the
twenty-five members present being on MS
feet during the meeting.
determined fight was made by Messrs'
Ioyenstein, O-Neil. Epps. and others 10
repeal entirely that part OF the plan
orovIding for the election OF the members
~ the committee in the primary.
Among the numerous motions maze
was one by Nr. I.andcrkin 10 elect the
xixtecn members offered and let them III
the vacancies.
GREAT MISTAKE.
can, Cunningham Hall. Capt. George
yavne Anderson and Mr.. julius hcpsoii
held that the committee had MADE great
mistake in assessing the Candidates ioi
nosi,,on ON the committee at all; that
men who would give hperahy 10 oan'
na,pn expenses would not, as a matter
of that character II they had ~ coihe
I'D and pay an assessment.
Cant. Hall moved that the candidates
for the Democratic Committee shall have
until Thursday, the 18th, TO announce
themselves. and that they shall not be as
sessed.
This was voted down, and later in the
meeting the action was reconsidered' anu
the same motion was put by captain
Peasants and carried.
ON motion of Capt. Anderson that part
Of the plan which provides that no one
shall be eligible TO hold place on the
committee who shall be candidate 1or
or hold an Office Of trust honor or emoi-
ument, city, State. or Federal. was amend
cd so as TO apply only TO those officers
elected by the people.
In the discussion it was held that under
the original plan even notaries pubic.
magistrates. officers of the militia. and
many others were debarred. which was
not contemplated by the section when
adopted.
IA modified. those officers elected by
the Council and appointed in various
WAYS are eligible and 1t is thought
suficient number of good and true men
win not now hesitate TO offer for the
City Committee.
THE VOTE.
The vote by which Captain Anderson
motion was adopted is as follows:
Ayes-Anderson Bowery, Briggs, Calder,
Fnrieht. French, Gibbons, Hall. Phillips,
PYLE. Peasants. Rhodes. Shervin, Fat
terson--14.
Noes-Bradley. Epps. Pagan. Hobson,
Joyner, Landerkin. .Lovenstein, ONell,
Tyler, Wailace-i0
Mr.. George w. Glass. a candidate Tor
Justice OF the peace from Jefferson ward,
was allowed to pay his assessment and
offer for election.
IL was stated that the Third and Fifth
precincts of Monroe ward and the Thirc
precinct of jefferson ward where only
one clerk each had been appointed, would
have a heavy vote and need an add
tional clerk. The committee decided to
become responsible for another clerk If
the vote polled numbered over 800.
Ii was decided TO have the plan as
amended reprinted and reserved on all
the candidates.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
BY a misunderstanding this paper was
led into the error Sunday of stating that
there were not a full complement of can
ddates for Aldermen i'm all the wards.
The statement that there is deficiency
of candidates for the Board Of Aldermen
is erroneous. Clay ward elects two mem
bers, and four persons are running; Mon
roe and Madison elect one each. and In
each there are two candidates; Jefferson
and Marshall two each, and in each there
are three candidates. The Democrats
have never nominated at primary a ward
ticket for jackson ward.
