Elephants in the first Donnybrook fair turn
green with envy. Henry eyfried. acting
under the behest of "BilI" Flynn, long
time boss OF the ward, called the meet
ing to be held at Flynn's saloon OF Ray
street. The usual ward tactics were to
be followed; Seyfried was to call the
meeting to order as temporary chairman,
and was to be elected permanent chairman,
when the Flynn slate was TO be rushed
through with a whoop. But the pro-
gramme failed dismally. In the first place
there was a loud clamor from several
hundred voters against holding the pri-
mary in Flynn's saloon.
'Howly Mosesi'' exclaimed one descend

street. Somebody got a kitchen table for

boy was perched on the fence holding a

1t VIII Tak All the "Byes" Who
Want to Go to the Convention.

Want to Go to the Convention.
Democrats, Popocrats, the Dyes from
the Fifteenth ward. who had such a lovely
time with 'Bill' Flynn last night, and
every one else who wants to see a hot
time to-day will go to Franklin on the free
train, which leaves the Union Station at
8 o'clock this morning. This free transport
tation is to be furnished by the local DEM
ocrats, who are determined that the free
list shall have added to ii many things be-
sides free trade and free silver. 1t is even
limited that there will be plenty of free"
beer when Franklin Is reached If there is
any doubt on that score, there is no doubt
that there will be a free-for-all 'hot" time.
Without much doubt tie Ill feeling stirred
UP by the contest committee in making
such arbitrary rulings last night will spoil
the pretty programme which the Demo-
cratic and Populist leaders had agreed on.
1t had been arranged TO have both conven-
tons appoint members of a joint conference
committee. which would select a candidate
TO be presented to both conventions. The
Democratic convention is to be held in the
new Pythian Hall at 10 O'Clock. while the
Populists will meet across the street, IL the
courthouse. at the same hour. The leaders
of the Democratic end of this proposed fu-
sion are likely TO strike a snag. and there
seems to be a well-detined feeling that the
convention will absolutely refuse to appoint
a conference committee, or TO abide by its
suggestions If it is appointed. Last night
this feeling was very intense. and IL II de-
Populists who hope for fusion will have TO
make all the concessions themselves, and
either indorse the candidate selected by the
Democrats or nominate one of their own.

ing place for the Twelfth ward primary,
and after a long and bitter struggle the
Cooper slate was selected. Charles Gauss,
a Cooper man. called the meeting to order.
The contest for permanent chairman was
between Gauss and William Cheezum. A
motion to make CAUSES election by accla-
nation was howled down and a division de-
manded. Celtic Hall is a very large room
and was filed to its utmost capacity.
While they were separating themselves the
men got into a half dozen serious personal
Combats. An effort was made by the Gauss
men. to detain the CheeZum followers on

withdrawing in GaUss's favor. Thomas
Griffin and Thomas Long were selected Sec
~retaries and the Cooper slate adopted.
