The Philadelphia papers speak highly OF
the Stars, the team having played Two
games in ohat city with the National Lea que

THE Syracuse club should cut wide swatf

IN THE TENTH WARD.
One Hundred Men Cast 19S Votes
RaiIex Delegates Selected.

The Tenth ward meeting consisted in a
fight TO the finish between the supporters
of Leon o. Bailey and Charles NJ. Cooper
for the congressional nomination. The
fight began with the selection of a chair
man and lasted until it was shown posi-
lively that the Bailey forces o~utnumbered
the Cooper forces. Then the latter, headed
by Fred Heller, bolted the convention and
formulated a protest.
Chairman Rockford, of the county COM
mittee. although not a resident of the
Tenth ward, was on hand and instructed
David w. Lawrie to call the meeting TO
order and as soon as that had been done
he took the floor TO say that he was there
to see that every man got a chance to
vote and thai his vote should be counted.
He then disappeared and did not know
whether justice was lone or not. Those
present are still guessing what wheel
slipped an eccentric and induced him TO
attend the primary outside lis own ward.
When Mr.. Rockford had subsidized the
temporary chairman was besieged with
persons who wanted recognition. He did
not seem 10 know what he was there for
and. failing to recognize the importunists.
there went up a general how of the names
of Joseph Bowers and Fred Heller as can
didates for chairman of the primary.
The chairman was a Cooper man and he
at once put a motion as follows: "All in
favor of Fred Heller for chairman say
aye" There was a prolonged howl of
the friends of Heller and Cooper. The tenn
porary chairman lost. his grip here by not
declaring the motion carried. He asked
for the dissenting vote and there was an
other howl. Then somebody demanded a
ballot.
Pending the ballot somebody suggested
that secretaries be appointed, but the Hon.
Jim Wilson raised the point of order that
permanent organization After about a
half hour. during which the delegates pres
ent INDUCED in the cheerful paStime of
calling one another names and OCCASION
ally fighting among themselves over small
p~leasantries. IL was understood that a bal
lot was to be taken and that the delegates
should vote as they passed out through the
TO guard the remaining doors so that dele
gates could not return and vote again. The
gang lined up and deposited their preju-
dices in a hat guarded by Philip Zapf. a
Bailey man. and James Ryan. a Cooper
man. The ballot showed the comparative
dates There were about one hundred Dem
ocrats OF the Tenth ward present and of
this number us voted for the Bailey candi-
date for chairman and eighty-three for the
Cooper candidate. Mr.. Bowers was declared
elected permanent chairman and the con-
vention was invited 10 get down TO bust
ness.
II was roposed by a Bailey man that
the chairman appoint a committee of three
TO select delegates to the congressional con-
vention. There was a howl OF rage and a

BENTLEY ON BRYAN.
Says He Is Not Particularly Promi-
nent in Anything at Lincoln.

C. Z. Bently, the presidential nominee of
the National party, the silver wing Of the
Prohibition party, arrived in the city yes
terday morning. after having addressed a
meeting at Marion the night before. He
was met by a reception committee and was
escorted to the White Ribbon House, where
a number of Prohibitionists called upon
him. This is one Of the few States where
the old organization and ticket of the Pro-
hibition party elected to go with the silver
wing. Mr.. Bentley resides at Lincoln, Neb.,
and he and Bryan are personal friends.
Concerning the Popocratic candidate, he
said: Il have known him for six years. He
is a very clean man in his private and do
nestle life. He and his wife are members
of the First Presbyterian Church., and he
is quite an active member. L do not know
that | could single him out for any special
prominence as to his work in the municipal
ity. l presume that he has always stood
with the progressive element of the city,
but 1 could not say just what he has done
with reference TO city affairs. i do not
think he has had any great amount of law
practice in recent years. Before this he
ii was different or more than that enjoyed
by any one of half a dozen attorneys"
Mr.. Bentley did not care TO express his
opinion as to who will carry Nebraska, but
he intimated that he had no intention Of
resigning in Bryan's favor. He declared
that the Pittsburg split was not caused so
much by free silver as by the determina-
ton to strike woman's suffrage from the
platform.

COMBINE IN THE SOUTH
POSSIBLE FUSION OF GOLD DENIS,
POPULISTs AND REPUBLICANS.
such n Combination Would Give Me-
Kinley Several States in the Solid
south-RepubIican Speakers.

1t is not at all unlikely that a combina-
ton ticket will be put in the field by the
Republicans. National Democrats and Popu-
lists in some OF the Southern States. The
executive committee OF the National
Democracy is in receipt of propositions
looking TO this end from Alabama. Texas
and Florida and is very much inclined TO
look upon them with favor. The leaders
Of these three parties in the South have
not yet discussed matters of detail in the
proposed fusion, but it is probable that If
1t is carried out they will fuse ON the State
tickets as nearly as possible in proportion
to the strength that each one possesses
and that electoral tickets will be mad up
of men pledged to vote against Bryan and
Sewall. In all three Of the States men,
toned the Populists have declined to enter
into the fusion with the Democrats ar
ranged at st. Louis. and are strong enough,
in combination with the Republicans and
sound-money Democrats, to swamp the Chi
cago ticket in each Of these States. This is
an unquestionable fact when it is consid-
cred that under these circumstances the
colored Republican vote of these States
would be protected and counted. that ele-
ment alone is almost sufficient to carry
them. The executive committee will con-
slider these propositions at its meeting in
Chicago on Monday. The Republicans In
the States named have not submitted the
question TO their national committee nor
have the Populists to theirs.
Chairman Bynum yesterday expressed
much pleasure at the declaration of Sena-
tor Gray that he would support the third
ticket and expressed the hope that others
close to President Cleveland and possibly
the President himself would make some
expression in due time.
Thu executive committee has engaged

paragraphs contain more information and

OF the proposition. but as the proposition
came IN the form of a motion IL was put
amidst the yelling, cursing and general
disorder of both factions il was declared
carried and the chairman appointed Pniip
Zapf, Morris Solomon and Otto Fisher as
the committee. Leon Bailey happened to
be present. He saw. at a glance that such
throttling would never do and he made a
speech in which he urged that a ballot be
taken This was agreed TO and with the
same guardians of the ballot box stationed
at the door the work of aking another
ballot began. There were seven names TO
be voted for. but as the friends OF the two
congressional candidates had printed tick
cts ready for use there was little trouble
about the voting. Ryan watched the Vot-
ing as IL progressed and soon became con-
WINGED that the Bailey ticket was getting
the most support. He found a preteXt and
declared that Republican negroes and
others living outside the ward were being
voted by the Bailey force. He declared he
would contest the election himself and
gates who passed out the door to cast their
ballots returned. The Bailey faction was
satisfied that it had done all that was ex-
pected OF il.
There was little interest in the joint sem
atorlai and joint representative delegations:
Inc cooper crowd. marshaled by Fred
Heller. felt that il had been turned down
and its only hope lay in making a dash
Tor the on contests. To the
cleveland clubrooms this faction went aud
ie1t a Few or the other faction in the Grim
inal Court room TO announce the result of
the ballot and to choose delegates to the
other conventions.
The Bailey delegates were elected by a
large majority and with only about 10 per
cent. OF the crowd present that started the
fun; a motion TO make the selection of the
Bailey delegates unanimous and to instruct
them to vote for Bailey was carried. After
this II was smooth sailing. A committee
or three was chosen to bring in names of
delegates for the joint senatorial and joint
representative conventions and the recon-
mendatlons OF the committee were con-
Cured in without dissent.
