ACTIVE FIFTH WARD DEMOCRATS.
Rousing Ratification Meeting Last
Night in Egan's Hall.

The Democrats of the Fifth Ward turn
ed out in great numbers last evening to
attend the first ratification melting held
in this ward. The meeting took place in
Egan's Hall, No 223 Mercer street. ana
as early as eight o'clock there was not
a vacant seat in the spacious hall. Adj
dresses were made BY Counselor John ].
Tracy, who spoke upon the State and
local ticket; Assenlblynnens James P. Hall,
James Murphy. and candidate for ASSEM-
bly, Maurice Marks, Counselor Eugene
Leake, T. J. Burns and candidate for
sFreeholder Phillip F. McGovern. Pre-
ceding the meeting there were music and
fireworks, and thousands of people from
the neighborhod enjoyed them.
The Fifth Ward is going Democratic
this election About that there is no mis-
take The Democrats are hustling as they
never did before and it is expected that
the Freeholder candidate Phillip F Nc
Govern will beat his Republican opponent
by over thre hundred majority. The Re-
publcans in this ward two years ago
were very active on occasions like the
present but there is certainly something
the matter this year. as you can't hear
one word about the Republican candidate.
He will be showed under so badly at the
election that he will never undertake to
run again for office in this ward.
The members of the Philip F. McGovern
Association and the Fifth Ward Demo-
cratic Club have made a canvass of the
ward and find that McGoyern will certain
Iy have wallSover. Next Wednesday
evening there will be another ratifica-
tion meeting in Egans Hall. ]. p. Walls

WILL KEEP ALL THE SONS

WASHINGTON. Oct. A. 1SeS.-It is not
probable that there will be a muster out
of any number Of staff officers TO eorre-
spond to the number of general officers
which were included in the discharge or
der a few days ago. The Department
finds, in view of the fact that a number
of officers, have resigned or been
honorably discharged. that the demand
for staff officers in different places makes
it almost impossible to dispense with
services of many more at present. Gem
eraI Otis has asked for additional
quartermasters, as has General Wood at
Santiago.
More subsistence and other staff officers
are needed at nearly every place by Unit
ed States officers. Subsistence officers
and quartermasters have been ordered 10
ports in Cuba in anticipation of The oc-
cupation OF the island by the United
States forces
A number of staff officers are on the
sick list and their places have to be sup
piled by others. 1t is therefore thought
that few more discharges will be made.

Allan L. McDerm o tt.

Allan l.. McDermott, the Senatorial
candidate, was born in South Boston,
March 30, 1854. He has been resident OF
New Jersey since 1856 His first vocation
was a typesetter. In 1871, he entered the
law office OF Leon Albeit. In 1877 he was
admitted to the bar and in 1880 became a
counsellor From 1879 to 1888 he was City
Attorney OF this city. In 1888 he was
made District Court Judge, by Cover
nor Ludlow. Governor Albeit appointed
him a member of the State Board of As
SCISSORS, and in 1886 he was named Clerk
of the Court of Chancery. a position he
filled with marked ability and satisfaction
to the members of the legal profession
In 1883, under Mayor Taussig, Mr.. Nc
Dermott was a member of the Board of
the verge of bankruptcy. The ability
of Mr.. McDermott alone. prevented the
crash that seemed inevitable. Republic
cans that sat with him in the Finance
Board admit that it was his skillful man
agement of affairs that saved the city.
In 1879, 1880 and 1881. Mr.. MoDermott rep
resented the old Fourth District in the
Assembly. In 1892 he was candidate for
Mayor, against P. F. wanser. Last
spring Mayor Hoos appointed him Cor
poration Counsel, an office he now holds.
For many years McDermott has been
one of the leading spirits of the Demo-
cratic party. In the State Committee he
was a power. That vicious or partisan
legisla ton will be out Of the question
with him in the Senate. is admitted by
Republicans. His ability is recognized by.
voters irrespective of party.
