4 SNAP CONVENTION
HELD BY THE DEMOCRATS OF
 THE THIRD WARD.
Delegates to the County Con- ventiOn and a County Central Committeeman
 Selected.

Wednesday afternoon about 6 o'clock small dodgers were issued calling for a convention of Demo- crats of the Third Ward to select delegates to the county con- vention and for other purposes.
 The word had been quietly circu- lated among the adherents of Mai. H. A. Mccoy, candidate for sheriff, while only such supporters of Mr. Edgar Brewster could be got out as could be notified after 6 o'clock. Therefore, although the ward gave MT. Brewster 109 votes in the pri- mary last Saturday as against 81 for Mccoy, the Mccoy men were in the majority.
 At 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by MT. Alex Strauss, chairman, at Alexander & Co.'S. store.
 Upon motion. Mir. Alex Strauss was elected chairman of the meet ing and MT. Y. o. Alexander seere- tary.
 On motion a committee of three was appointed by the chair to select delegates to county convention and Messrs. J. M. Taylor, s. M. Taylor and Chas. Deutch were appointed as said committee.
 The committee reported the fol- lowing delegates who were unani- mously elected: H. c. Rather, Chas. Veil, J. M. Elliott, c. H. TripIett, D. s. Bluthenthal, Chas. Deutch, Drew White, pr. A. c. Jordan and J. ". Adams.
 Alternates: J. s. Bell, N. T. Roberts, c. T. Robinson and c. M. Philpot.
 The election of a county central committeeman for the next two years was then declared in order,
 Mr. J. M Taylor nominated Mir. c. H. Tliplett.
 Mr s. M. Taylor nominated Mir. John s. Rutherford.
 Upon a vote being taken the chairman declared Mir. TripIett elected by the vote of 43 to Al.
 Adjourned.

Mr. c. H. Triplett's claim as a member ol the Central Committee from the Third Ward will be con- tested on the grounds that one Alex Straus, partisan's of Trip lett's, gave only about 1 hours notice that meeting of the Third Ward would be held and that a majority of the Democrats of said ward had no notice of said meeting, and because also two illegal votes were wrongfully allowed to be cast against MT. Rutherford who received fl legal votes and Mir. Triplett 43 votes, and the latter was declared elected. One of Triplett's voters resides in the 4th ward and another one was not a legal voter of the county. This left Mr. Triplett II votes, but Chairman Strauss declar- ed MT. Triplett elected. MT. s. M. Taylor called attention to theillegal votes and appealed from the decision of the chair, but the chairman re- fused to entertain the appeal. From this the honest Democrats of the county can see the wrong being per,
 petrated upon then, and the snap methods employed to defeat the will of the people. MT. TripIett wants to be a member of the Committee that is to pass on the contested election cases of Brewster vs. Me Gov and Sorrells vs. Martin. To show that the meeting was a job and jumped up for the occasion, and for the purposes accomplished, it is only necessary to mention that dur
 ing the meeting of the County Gen. tral Committee yesterday Chairman Triplett was asked in the full pres ence of the committee about o'clock D. m. if there had been a call issued for meeting in the Third ward. when he replied that he did not know when it would be called to

The Cable Club visited st. Michaefs

games were the feature of the evening
The first was a ten men team game ana
the second a five men team game. Both
organizations nave their homes within a
few blocks of each other, and the teams
went into the game each with a big Toi-
lowing of rooters to urge them on. Tine
teams have met before and a close game
resulted, so that there was considerable
interest in last nights matches. ST..
Michaels team won both games by COM
Portable margins. In the first game the
home team led by a few pins at the end
of the opening frame, and they increased
this untf at the climax it had grown to
a majority of OPT pins. At no time were
the Gable bowlers in the race. 7. Cory

Hartman had 1856 and P. Connolly 1874. Con-

The second game was the five men team
contest, and it was a good game. Again
st. Michaels showed the way all through
the game, and finally finished 76 pins
ahead. Hugh Mclaughlin had high
score, I6e. Appman was high for the

and a ten men team game were rolled.

Lincolns were the winners by SO pins. The
Lincolns led ali the way. A few pins
