The great fight of the day was in the
Fifth ward Much opposition develop
ed to the caucus ticket. owing to the
fact that the names of several populists
appeared on it, including that of the
populist leader. Larry Neill. The lat
ter claimed that he had returned to
democracy. but the democrats of the
ward concluded that it would be better
to require repentant populists to remain
on probation for a year or two before
putting them on guard. The populists
were out in full force, pulling for Lar
ry Neill. Some bad blood was exhibit
ed and some of it was spilled The
front of the place where the primary
was held was broken down in a squab-
BILE. after which Larry Neill was ar
rested for disturbance of the peace, and
the row stopped. The opposition. or
anti-populist ticket. won by a vote of
2S7 to 1872 1t is:
