A. Treen declining the nomination for city

ex-Confederate Democrat. being nominated
IN his place.
Yesterday was the last day for the fling
OF these corrected nominations. Those OF
the Republican party needed no corrections;
they were fiied soon after the convention.
That the Democratic city central COM
n1fttee lent themselves TO the purposes OF
the Jordanites and planned from the very
beginning TO deliver the Democratic con-
vention into their hands is now abundantly
proved. At their first meetings they pre-
tended that il would be dgnified for the
Democratic party TO hold convention and
10 nominate a straight-out Democratic
ticket. even If they felt that 10 do SO was
with but forlorn hope OF success, or even
II there were no hopes at all. This PROPOSE
ton naturally captured all the better ele-
ment OF the party, who believed in stick
ing 20 their standard and their principles
TO the last, and the encouragement that
even such a hopeless, but manly, fight
would have upon the party in the state. SO
II was decided TO hold the primaries and
convention and nominate a straight ticket.
But IL was discovered that the notices Of
the primaries had not been sent 10 the
newspapers. Leading Democrats who In
quired about this were told by the commit
tee that the notices would be published all
right. Being further pushed for an explain
alton why they had not already oeen sent
out, they said they had been sent out, and
mentioned A weekly newspaper of limited
circulation in which the notices where the
primaries were TO be held were 10 be pub
lished. as required by law. That was the
scheme. Nobody would know where 10
find the primaries then, or when they were
TO be held. except those who were informed
by the plotters of the committee. The
Democrats who made this discovery imme-
diately insisted that the notices should be
sent to the daily newspapers, and saw 10 it
that they were sent. Since then, both the
old city central committee and the new one
have repudiated any responsibility for
printing the notices and refused TO pay the
bills. The gentlemen named, for the honor
of the Democratic party, paid these bills
yesterday.
This Jordan movement" said we'll
known lawyer yesterday, lis not altogether
an unmxed evil. II has had the effect of purg-
ing the Democratic party at any rate The
Democrats may be fewer In numbers than
they thought they were, but they are
united
