WARD SEVEN.
Harmony and unanimity marked the
proceedings Of the forlorn hope in Ward
Seven last evening. It may trutfully be
said that as silence gives consent never
was there caucus more nearly har-
monious. 1t may also be said with truth
that seldom has there been caucus
smaller in number. The only element
of size in the gathering was the air Of
resig nation to their fate that seemed to
have settled on the faithful. The CAUCUS
was called to order by Mr.. Enoch W.
Hunt at O'Clock. There were then 25
Democrats ranged along the walls of the
room, apparently seeking the support
there which they could not find in the
barren soil tude Of the floor. Collector
Deering had looked in earlier. he said in
order to see the ward room. Mr.. Deer
ing's view of the apartment was not OBJ
structed and he retired. Mr.. Hunt pro-
posed Hon. W. H. Clifford for chairman.
Mr.. Clifford was silently and unani-
mously elected. and called for secretary
to keep him company behind the rail.
Mr.. William Leavitt was named.
Mr.. Leavitt was silently and unani-
mously elected.
Chairman Clifford read the call and
stated that the business in order was the

The motion was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Clifford announced as the commit

Batchelder, Robert Gould, Michael Con-
way and Michael Keirns.
The appointment was unanimously
confirmed. m
mhe committee after some hesitation,
seemingly reluctant to leave their
comrades alone in the silence of that
large and nearly vacant room, sought
the deeper gloom of the cellar in pursuit
of victims. The search was not a long

mously adopted. Many of the gentlemen
whose names appear on it were not
present unless, indeed, the committee
found them in the cellar. Having made
the nominations, the caucus lost itself in
the prevailing gloom until aroused by
the voice of the chairman, whose cheer
