SOME LIVELY POLITICS.
TROUBLE IN THE ENROLMENT MEETING OF
THE TWENTY-FIFTII WARD.

The rolls Of the Republican associations in
the CPS election districts OF the city were revised
last night and the names Of those VINO mad lett
the districts or the associations dropped. and the
names of applicants enrolled. The liveest time
was had in the Twenty-ffth Ward. where there
was a scrimmage all along the line between the
Brennan and Sharkey forces. The trouble began
early In the day. when William Dogeerell' one OF
the Sharkey leaders. met George H. ROBERTS, IT.,
chairman Of the General Committee In front OF
the Courthouse. and had lively exchange OF
words with him. Roberts criticised sharply the
action OF the Sharkey men In throwing the other
men out of the organization, and Mr. Doggerel re-
torted in a similar vein.
A meeting of the General Committee is TO be
called within a week or so for the avowed purpose
of adopting eeveral bylaws which were neglected
the other night and which must be adopted before
the revised constitution and bylaws can be printed
But It is said that the real purpose OF the meet
ing will be to undo the work of the SharKey men
in the Twenty fifth Ward and TO have the CEN
eral Committee express its Interpretation OF 'he
Sharkey methods. The WursterWis forces are
confident that they can carry the committee III
condemnation Of this high-handed proceeding Even
the Worth leaders, outside of the Twenty-hith
Ward say that Sharkey and his followers nave
played poor politics in the move they have made
and that it is going be difficult TO fnd pTetext
for sustaining them in the committee.
circular was distributed by the Brennan forces
throughout the Twenty-hfth Ward yesterday which
contained a declaration from Chairman Roberts,
Secretary Fielding and Chairman Jacob Bremen. OF
the Executive Committee. that they believed the eX-
pulson or suspension of Republicans from dstrc;
associations would be null and void and violation
of the organizations constitution The circular also
contained letter from Henry \. Powell, chairman
OF the Committee Organization, TO William
Chambers. in which he he'd that the Ward Com
mittee had no power to eXpel rs own members I'M
less the charges preferred were OF strong cnaT-
acter. He likewise denied the power OF the Ward
Committee TO order a re-enroment In district as
sociaiions - the method OF securing enroments
provided for.
The meetings OF the district associations In the
Twenty-nfth Ward were all lively. In the Brennan
Wassmuth district resolutions were passed con
denning the Ward Committee for expeing the ad-
min.stration delegates. Robert \. ShaTkeys dis
trict the Second. William Extance got through
resolution condemning the Ward Committee for It's
action. and indorsing Mckinley. Sharkey Is Plat
man. Assembyman Brennan received word late last
night that in William DoegerelIs district the
Twenty-frst, Doggerell had been expelled. Hh was
the president Of the Ward Committee and one OF the
In the Third District the president Frederick
Clrich. ordered the names OF the administration
men stricken from the rolls This proceeding
brought long wrangle.
Mckinley resolutions were adopted in Brennan's
district and in several others.
