Town Solicitor Thomas F. Larkin.
who received two votes for chairman OF
the democratic town committee at the
meeting Of the committee last night.
said this afternoon: u was not can
didate for this office. The vote that
got was merely complimentary. These
public efforts that are making TO have
! it seem as if there was dissenslon in
the ranks Of the town committee are
/ TOO plain in motive to have much
weight, but they are annoying. There
/ is harmony in democratic ranks.
/ There never was more harmonious
/ meeting of the town committee than
/ last nights was. 1t went on without q
shadow of disagreement. The commit
/ tee viii work unitedly for victory this
spring. There are no personal anita
gonisms TO interfere, and they would
not be allowed TO interfere if there
We're any"
/ It IS well understood by persons who
are informed on political matters in
/ this town that what Mr.. Larl1in says is
true. II was with the greatest Difficult
lty that Town Chairman David l.
/ Walsh was induced to succeed himself.
II was not until some Of the most prom =
+ inent men in the party brought the
argument down to the good of the party
/ that he consented Great pressure was
/ brought TO bear upon Mr.. Walsh by
/ most of his immediate friends to with
draw from politics. They fear for his
health, when he takes on the labors of
! an exciting campaign in addition to the
/ work he is obliged TO do in his bust
/ ness as a lawyer.
| If Mr.. Walsh had retired. Mr.. Larkin
! would, il is believed, have been pushed
! for the town Craftsmanship, viii or nil,
as Mr.. Walsh was.
| Another foolish story that got its qui-
etus in the meeting Of the committee
was the one that the democratic war
horse, Judge John w. Corcoran, would
be elected town chairman. The eyes of
local democrats would fall out of their.
heads if they should see John w. Cor
coran leave his business to begin his
political life over again as a high pri-
Vate.
