Interest in Democratic political circles Is

for Governor Is still being strongly urged
by mis- friends despite the fact that the
j Judge does not seem to be an active
aspirant for the nomination.
= Tie candidacy of Congressman Mcguire

ords, ana jackson Hatch, the attorney Of

as rebuttal to the claim that Buckley
has captured the delegation from this city,
Gavin McNab, one Of the leaders OF the
successful faction at the recent meeting,
said: Some ten days ago, when the plans
IN the State
were under discussion, L suggested that
the matter be left to the districts, but re-
curing that the districts should recognize
proportional representation, so that every
faction might be satisfied, and the party be
thoroughly represented
Mr.. Pepper approved this plan. Sheriff
McDade, Mr.. Alderman and other leaders
Endorsed il. In fact, it met with general
acceptance. and il was understood that
when the committee met last Tuesday it
would adopt the proportional district plan.
"Ma3oT Harvey, representing Senator
Armes, Timothy Tracy Little Dick O'Con-
nor, Bull Collins and Dick MattlDgiY, in
troduced d resolution that the general
committee as a whole should vote upon
the delegates as a whole, thereby provid-
ing for a slate. They. gave it out that
everything had been arranged and that
they would run a slate of their own.
AFTER the vote on the resolution a GER
tain number Of gentlemen connected with
the committee decided to oppose the slate
They com bined and made nominations of
their own, with the result that last night
they elected their ticket by majority
of seventy. Now l understand that the
other side makes a roar. They ought 10
have counted their men before they went
10 vote"
Clunie and McNab naturally feel quite
jubilant in defeating Major Harvey after
the defeat sustained last Tuesday, when
the major succeeded in having his resoIu-
ton adopted. Friends of Major Harvey
assert that the McNab- Clunie ticket which
went through is dominated by the influ-
ence of Buckley and Rainey. and that
they can pick out seventy-five Rainey men
among the delegates chosen.
This evening the Prohi bitionists will
have a rally in Metropolitan Hall, when
various candidates will address the meet
ing.
The resolution introduced by E. P. E.
Troy Saturday night at the Democratic
meeting, aud which pledged the delegates
of the Fourth Congressional District to
support James G. Mcguire for Congress
or any other Office TO which be may aspire,
is having an effect on Maguire's guberna-
toral boom, as was intended. and strong
effort will be made to force his nomination
in convention for that office.
