FIRST WARD MEETING
The First ward is all torn up over the
selection OF a candidate Tor the council, 1he
populist party in the ward is divided, and
although the nomination OF councilman from
that ward was allotted to the Popullsts,
some of the Democrats Insist upon naming
their own candidate.
The proposition OF fusion was thorough
ly discussed, and the matter settled by the
city convention, but the First ward Demo
Gratis, if their leader can be believed, refuse
to abide by this. The point was raised last
night that the boilers had no legal standing
on the ticket.
II the First ward is lost to the union par
ties you can thank Davis and the dozen
Democrats with him for the loss, said a
whte-hared Democrat last night. 1T is a
shame and a disgrace that we should be
asked to break our pledged word, as they
now ask us to do. ! wont do it,
