The Democratic State Central Commit te met in solemn conclave yesterday morning and decided that while the com. mittee of one hundred job chasers, who are loyal to Bosses aPhelan and ''Whis- pering" McNab, had Exceeded It's powers | it would be inadvisable at present to de throne the usurpers. It was pictured. in l eloquent terms that if the Democratic patriots" who consider place and office | holding far above party principle were now thrust out of power. the slight pros poets of James Gallagher Mcguire warm | ing the gCbernatorial chair would be 1 greatly diminished.
 When the committee was called to or 1 der by Chairman Seth Mann there was a 1 stir of excitement among the members | of the second house" who occupied seats in the rear of the hall.
