THERE WILL
 BE MANY
 VACANCIES Trouble Ahead for the
 ReformerS. DEMOCRATS IN A TANGLE CALL FOR A MEETING OF THE NEW COMMITTEE. Harneyites Say Their Rights Have Been Trampled Upon and That They Will Appeal to
 the Courts.
DEMOCRATS IN A TANGLE
CALL FOR A MEETING OF THE
 NEW COMMITTEE.

Twenty-Five members of the new Demo- cratic City and Courty Committee have signed call for a meeting of the com mittee to be held in Native Sons Hall next Friday evening, course made necessary by the developments of the past week, which threaten to wreck the handmade governing body of the local Democracy.
 When Messrs. Gould, McNab and AL ford were securing the city in search or untarnished material for. the committee, they neglected in many instances to se- cure the consent of the owners of many of the names that were presented to the State Central Committee for confirma- ton. The result as been that some Of the gentlemen who have been herded into the reform flock without their knowledge or consent have declared their unwilling ness to serve in the harness that has been prepared for them. This fact taken in connection with the following section of the rules made and provided in advance for the government of the new committee is what has led to the hurried call for the meeting next Friday night:
 Section 12-Any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Democratic City and County
 Committee shall be filled by such committee. subject to confirmation by the Democratlc State Committee
 As the State Central Committee will meet next Saturday, it was deemed ad- Visable for the local commute to fill the numerous vacancies before that date in order that they may be confirmed at once. Otherwise it would be necessary to wait until the next meeting of the State Com mittee, a proceeding especially hazardous at the present moment when the Harney- ties and others are in open reDelhon against the rule of the back-country re- formers.
 There is some speculation as to where the men who are particularly interested in the work that Is to be done by the aristocratic City and County Committee are going to look for material with which to fill the gaps caused by the resignation of reluctant members. Having exhausted the stock of available aristocrats and so- called political high joints, recourse will necessarily be had to the push" While it is not contended that there will be any lack of members of the latter fraternity orders from the trio of new-found bosses, there Is a very grave doubt In the minds of some as to how these unwashed com mitteemen will be received by Mayor Phelan. The Mayor, according to popular report, has but recently declared his de termination to shake the dust of the dis trict south of Market street from his feet at once and forever. and to confine his future political exertions to the other side of town, where workingmen are the exception and not the rule. If this be so, 1t may be possible that he will set the seal of his disapproval on the plan to in- feet members of the "push" into the ex-

informed that if no answer was re-

No answer was received by the chair
man. and after waiting an hour the

mciis,ed the fixtures Of the printing
Office. The building was also fired and
