Every delegate of the caucus has signed
the above but j. S. Licklider, of the
First ward. An effort was made to see
him, but he could not be found. He is
known to be very strong silver man and
it is almost certain he would have signed
the pledge had he been requested to do so.
Unsatisfactory CONSULTATION
The committee appointed au the Demo
cratic mass meeting held Friday night
had n consultation with the candidates
selected by the celebrated Saturday night
meeting last night in the Office of Il. II.
Tillett, for the purpose of securing har-
mony in the party. From the standpoint
of harmony the meeting was IL most dis
nal failure. The committee asked the
delegates If they would submit their
names to the mass meeting of the First
ward voters to be held mt u later date for
ratification and they replied that as they
were but she candidates suggested by this
meeting they would consider themselves
traitors to the gentlemen who slated
them were they to come before any other
meeting, but their position was that they
would submit their names to the Demo-
cratic voters of the First ward only Mt the
election to be held on the 18th. When
this was found to be their attitude the
tl,n.
thought further consultation useless, as
no results couli be accomplished. The
sentiment seemed to prevail among some
members of the committee that this split
would open splendid gap through which
one or two If not more Ellyson delegates
could be gotten In, when the city should
send solid Tyler delegation. The con-
sultation last night was failure so far as
harmony is concerned and, if anything
has only tended to widen the breach be.
tween the two factions. The meeting
last night was composed of j. III.
Cutchin, r. w. Miller, y. S. Good, w. p.
Dupuy and G. w. Priddy, fol the mass
meeting, and w X. Andrews. T. r. Til.
lett, @. w. G. Woolwine, j. S. Licklider
and p. w. Huff, the candidates of the Sat-
urday night meeting. The committee
will report the result of the consultation
'sS - iiiooo hSSh'bE VIII DG Ielu Cl1lS
week ami further.-steps will then be
taken. 1t seems to be the policy of the
last Saturday night meeting to make no
oSertures aud to put their men Through,
harmony or no harmony. When the pos
sible dire results of the split was sug-
gested in the consultation the candidates
made no reply, only protesting that If they
were the tools in the hard of any machine
they were perfectly UNCONSCIOUS.
G. w. PRIDDY RESIGNED.
g. w. Priddy has resigned as a candi-
date for alternate from the First ward
and w. j. Turner has been elected in his
stead.
HAS LICKLIDER wiTHDRAWN?,
1t was reported on the streets last
night that j. S. Licklider had withdrawn
from the slate of the last. Saturday meet
ing until his nominate could be ratified
by the mass meeting of the Democrats to
be held this week.
