THE LAST DITCH.
Martin Kelley's Appeal
in Vain.
Candidates for Greater and Lesser
Places Gather About the
Headquarters.

A section of the Twenty-eighth District
was transferred 10 the Baldwin Annex
last evening, and couple of hundred or
so dollar-a-day politicians were there to
take sides in the contest started by Martin
Kelly.
When Kelly filed his protest against the
returns of the primary Tor the Twenty
eighth District, and the campaign commit
tee sat last night as the occasion for
the hearing. it was feared that trou-
BILE would follow when the rival clans came
together. Half a dozen policemen were
stationed in the hallway to be ready for
an emergency. Martin Kelly himself was
asked if he had any weapons, as were half
a dozen others, but the duties of the police
aid not prove very trying. The crowd was
goOd-natured. and bantering and railery
took the place of violence. so that all the
officers of the p eace found TO DO was to
keep passagewaY clear in the halls and
request that the signs posted up 10 bidding
smoking De respected.
The campaign committee had a prelim-
mary meeting and then adjourned
temporarily to allow the County Com.
mlttee TO pass upon request. This re-
guest. which was for power 10 dispose of
the contest, finally was granted. Then
Casper and dozen more, who told how
the ballOt-box was stuffed, how reDeaters
voted and how the men Of their faction
were refused the right to vote. They
asked that the delegates returned from
the TweGty-eighth Dis triet be not allowed
TO sit.
The workers for Burns were heard In
rebuttal and all of the charges were as
stoutly denied as they had been made
The campaign committee decided to
recognize the delegates returned from the
Tween v-eighth District and so Crmmins
and Kelly are now bosses without fol-
lowing. so far as official recognition in the
party goes.
AS a palliative the County Committee
has held out little olive branch for recon-
Citation. 1t has appointed a committee
on harmony in the party. This committee
Is made up of one delegate from each dis
trict 1t is as follows:

Endorsement of ID. NJ. Burns for his CO. |
operation in the matter of pure politics.
Candidates for the Offices, greater and |
lesser, are looming up all over the State. |
just at present il is claimed that the fight |
seems to be between Estee and Chapman.
Estee will have the San Francisco with the |
practical support of the city delegation.
though this fact may not be made apparent |
on the first ballot. 1t is claimed by Chip
mans followers that he is the only candi-
date who can hold the farmers vote, and |
that il the city insists on choosing any body
else as standard-bearer there will be a
stampede into the Populist fold. Chip
mans friends assert that he can keep 5000 |
farmers in the Republican party, who
would otherwise support the Populist
nominee.
j. R. Mcdonald. the State Treasurer, is
also in the fight for the nomination. and
