ton and McCarthy-Result
of the Caucuses.
The democratic caucuses were held in
the different wards of the city last
night. An unusual amount of interest
was manifested and there was a big
turnout at each caucus. There were
several lively, but coed natured con-
tests in several of the words, the fight
, apparently being between the two most
| prominent candidates. the nomination
for mayor, P. S. Harrington and j. Fl.
Mccarthy. In the First, Third, Fourth,
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth wards the
delegates were selected by committees.
In the Second ward it was decided to
ballot for delegates, and as there were
about $50 present it took some time to
make up the list. In the Fifth ward
they had the liveliest time. Lawrence
Neill. once very prominent populist,
was selected as chairman and several
men present protested, claiming that
| Nj. Neill was not a democrat, but he
| answered them by saying that he left
| the populist party three years ago and
! was as good democrat as any one
| present. James Dewitt was selected as
| secretary, and on motion Steve Roach,
| John Farrell and Ed Wynne were
named as a committee to select list
| Of delegates, and Roach and Farrell
made a report, which was adopted.
