The Manchester City Central Commit
tee met in adjourned session last night
at the Police Court. and considerable
business was transacted. Those present
were Messrs ID. l.. Toney chairman,
Charles Burkert secretary, Augustine
Royal. J. r. Green. A. J. Gallagher, s.
W. Gooding, j. l.. BEDFORD, and X. r..
owen. The meeting was held principally
TO make an investigation Of the charge
of irregularity i'm the nomination Of Mr..
w. o. Randlett by ward meeting on Tues
day evening, April 18th. When the chair
man had called the body TO order Mr..
Gooding rose ana stated that the matter
had all been amicably adjusted and the
charge had been withdrawn. This ended
the matter.
ALL THE PEOPLE WANT IT.
Mr.. BEDFORD asked Of the committee II
the City Committee or the people in
ward meetings were TO name delegates
to the May conference This brought out
@ discussion as to what the conference
was for. and Mr. Augustine Royal made
a clear statement I'm regard TO it. He
said its object was 10 place the election
Of United States senators in the hands
OF the people, and he was heartily in
favor of such being the case. He voiced
the sentiment of the entire committee.
There still, however, seemed some doubt
in the minds of the committee as TO the
wishes of the leaders of the conference.
as no communication had been received
from them. The chairman. Mr.. TOney,
stated that he was sure there were not
twenty-five people in Manchester who
did not want senators to be elected by
the people. but he thought the committee
should learn more about what the people
Of the city were expected to do. Mr.
Gallagher agreed with the chairman. and
so did Mr. Green. Mr.. Royal suggested
that committee Of three be appointed 10
see Mr.. Claggett Il. Jones. at his office,
in Murphy's Hotel. and learn from him
how they might help the cause. This
motion was carried, and the following
gentlemen named: Messrs. Toney, Roy
all. and Burkert. This committee is 10
see Mr.. Jones at the earliest time posi-
bic. and report back 10 the committee.
The people Of the city are perhaps
without single exception in favor Of
electing national senators by direct vote
of the people. Not only did the Central
Committee declare this I'm unmistakable
terms last night, but one member went
so far as TO say that he wanted no man
for that high position who was not will
ing to trust himself in the hands OF the
