PRESENT SYSTEM WAS ENDORSED

The Democrats held their caucuses for
the election of delegates to the City and
State Conventions and also for the City
Committee, last evening, in the several
ward rooms.
The primaries in every ward brought
out the voters in large numbers. Most OF
the interest centered in the choice Of can
didates for the City Committee, the young
element of the party taking the issue that
the present system of conducting caucuses
is not the proper one. The strength OF the
adherents of the present method carried
every ward, although there was a pretty
good fight in some of the wards.
The City Convention will be held next
Monday evening. The personnel of the
Legislative ticket has not yet been deter
mined.
The State Convention will be held to-
morrow at noon at Music Hall, Provi-
dence. The head OF the ticket is still in
doubt, Mayor Gottschalk OF Central Falls
having declined to accept the guberna-
torial nomination.

The resignation of Henry Barker an .
member of the School Committee Yves
placed In the hands of the Mayor this
morning. The action was not anticipated,
and was surprise alike to the Mayor anA
the members OF the Committee.
The reason Mr.. Barker assigns for his
action, is that the demands OF his business
will not permit him to spare the tins,
which 1t Is necessary to devote to the work
of the committee.
1t is thought by number Of persons
familiar with the workings o, the business
OF the School Committee rat the rel
cause Of Mr.. Barker's resignation was tho
fact that pressure had been brought -
bear upon him regarding the action taken
by him on the Training School question:
and rather than be placed between two
fires he rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Barker Is superintendent Of tho
weaving department OF the Lorraine mills,
and has served continuously ON the School
Committee since he was first elected In
1892. During the years Of '95 and Y6 he
acted as chairman of the committee.

have expired until next March. The va
cancy In the Board will be filed at tho
coming spring election.

IT,

BY the close majority Of z votes, the City

Fourth Ward. The voting opened lively
and continued 30 for half an hour, nearly
one half OF the total vote polled being cast
In that time.

Verlin, Thomas b. Kenney, Michael l..
Sullivan, John Harrington; City Com
mittee-Daniel F. Mullen, Thomas III.
Phillips, James Connell, Edward Fl. Car
ney and John Mccormack.
The proceedings were somewhat en-
Hvened when Mr.. Moriarty challenged the
right OF H. II. Carpenter to cast vote In
q Democratic caucus. There was con-
siderable discussion and finally Mr.. Car
penter was permitted to deposit his ballot
on his word that he would support the
nominees Of the party at the coming
election.
The supervisors for the ticket headed by
Mr.. Curley were: Owen +. Mcclure and
William Curley. James j. Walsh and
Patrick j. Mullen officiated in like ca
pacity for the ticket headed by Mr.. MUIR
ray. The former ticket received 73 votes
and the Murray ticket, so called, 85.
Before adjournment, Chairman Afflick
stated with emphasis that he would not
accept membership in the Ward or City
Committee again under any circumstances.
He yielded with great reluctance to the
plsadings and entreaties of his colleagues
to have his name placed on the ticket that
was presented at last nights caucus and
thanked the electors for the support and
courtesy shown him in the past.

There was nothing spectacular about
proceedings in the Fifth Ward. After the
usual preliminaries Joseph l.. Corcoran
m we'd that the caucus proceed to elect a
chairman from the floor. Chairman
O'Brien put the motion and decided il
lost by vote of 35 yeas to 81 nays. Peter
j. Quinn appealed from this decision. The
question was put, and the chair was sus-
tanned by . vote of 81 yeas to 53 nays.
Then the chairman, William F. Eamp-
ton, and the secretaries, Henry T. Quirk
and Andrew r. Finn, who were appointed
by the City Committee, took their places
and the balloting commenced. No nomi-
nations were made, but there were two
tickets in the field. One known as the

was as follows:

SECOND WARD.

The primary in the Second Ward was
one of the most quiet in its history, and
an idea of the interest taken in the caucus
may be gathered from the fact that but
eight men were present when the polls
opened. At times during the evening
there were but one or two present in addi-
tion to the officers. About 100 votes were
cast and there was no opposition to the
ticket nominated. Daniel j. Keough was
chairman of the caucus, and James IL.
Curvin Secretary. The caucus resulted as
follows:
Delegates to State Convcntion-Edmund
A. Ryan, Joseph l.. Kelly; delegates to
City Convention-Dennis A. McElroy,
Martin Kcnney, Peter Rafferty,, Edwin H.
McCaughey, Thomas McAloon; Ward
Committee-Daniel j. Keough, James II.

dents of the city who looked for clash In
the First were disappointed, as the pro-
seodings were very orderly, and there was
no indication of any disturbance from the
opening to the closing of the polls.
