M. #. Fitzgerald Turns Down a Pro-
test From the First Ward.

test From the First Ward.
There Is a revolt against T. D. Shee
han in the First ward among the
SWedes. 1t took concrete form yester-
day when a delegation Of leaders OF
that nationality made formal demand
that Sheehan be omitted from the
speakers at Swedish Republican
morrow night at Sjoberg's hall The
delegation gave it out fiat that thew
didn't think 1t would do the party any
good to have Sheehan on the list Of
speakers at the meeting, and that Shee-
ham would create even more antagon-
ism than is now fixed against IT If he
appeared.
1t seems that the demand created
something Of a row. Harry Sundberg
was at the head of the delegation that
went to Republican county head
quarters and demanded that Sheehan
be taken off the list of speakers. He
explained how it was that they would
nave nothing to do with Sheehan. The
bills for the meeting were already out
and he said that the Swedish Repub-
ncans would not stand for 1t. and the
dodgers must not be circulated. He
was turned down at the instigatfon of
M. w. Fitzgerald. The latter is the
chairman Of the Republican committee
on speakers, and his dusky locks turn
ed deep carnine as he listened TO the
proposition. He told the delegation a
few things, most Of which had to do
with the fact that Sheehan was the
only lrish-American on the ticket, and
he was the only representative of that
nationality ON the committee, and he
would be so and so and so and so II
ne would tolerate any attempt to turn
Sheehan down. They would have Shee-
nan In the First, and they would have
MIN everywhere else, if he, FITZGERALD.
had anything to do with the campaign.
Apparently Sundberg and his delega-
ton had to be satisfied with that wav
Of putting 1t, for the bills for the meet
Ing were sent out in great numbers
and Sheehan is honored by the des,p
nation of Hon." while the rest of the
speakers have to get along without any
handle to their names.
Former Gov McGiu and his running
mate, Walter Boyd, bailiff in a. Justice
court In the western portion Of the
Eighth ward, will speak from the same
platform tomorrow night They are to
be assigned different subjects. Mr.,

Policeman Parrish who, by a little
political fiction that Is now permitted:
Is supposed to be bailiff in the police
court, has gone into q deal with w.
L. Ames that would be satisfactory to
the two Of them If 1t could be made to
win. They have engaged to carry the
Second ward for Billy johnson with
the understanding that If Johnson is
elected Parrish is to be the CHIEF
deputy in the auditors office, while
Ames is to be assessor. The Ames af-
fair was settled before the convention.
but he found he could do nothing in
the Second without Parrish, and the
latter had to be taken In. His duties
in connection with the police force do
not interfere with Parrish acting as
committeeman and putting all Of his
time in In the Second.
