Police Board straishtens Out TauEls Result
ing Prom Primaries.

Two delegations OF Democratic from Queens
went to Police Headquarters yesterday and
asked that the Police Board extricate them
from a complicated situation In which they find
themselves IA a result Of tho returns from the
primaries. As the result of different interpre-
tations OF the rules laid down by their County
Committee one Of the factions has chosen thirty
men for two separate Assembly district con-
v~entions In one district, and the other has
chosen fifteen men for one convention, and
som OF the delegates are on both tickets
Further to complicate matters e1 Mayor Patrick
j. Gleason appeared with a ticket Of his own
which contained men chosen by each OF the
other two factions.
The factions led by Councilman Joseph Cas-
sldy and Magistrate Kadien had followed the
sample ballot given out from the election
bureau at Police Headquarters and ran a ticket
OF fifteen delegates 10 a single convention TO bs
held next Tuesday night 10 nominate Assembly
men and to elect delegates to the State conven-
tion. The faction led by ex-Surrogate Daniel
Noble. who represents John c. Madden. tho old
boss OF Queens. disregarded the sample ballot
and ran a ticket Of thirty TO two conventions
fifteen TO nominate Assemblymen and niteen TO
elect delegates to the State convention. The
Kadien- Cassidy faction won out 10y go votes on
their whole ticket with the exception OF theSe DEL
egates for next Tuesday, CONVENTION, dhey deI
ballot sent out from the bureau of elections.
the whole Madden ticket should be thrown out.
The Commissioner looked up the election
rules Of the Democratic party In Queens and
found that heretofore there had been two
conventions as the Maddenites asserted. In
asmuch. however, a. the Kadien.Cassidy fac
ton had followed the sample ballot sent OUT
from Police Headquarters II was decided To give
each faction satisfaction by giving a Solomon
Judgment on the claims ~ the rival delegates.
The decision was that there should be two CON
MENTIONS and that the fifteen delegates from
both factions who had the greatest number N
votes should make up the fifteen delegates
for each convention. This gave the Maddenltes
four delegates in the convention TO elect dele
gates TO the State Convention, aud the other
faction eleven. while in the .convention 20 nomi-
nate an Aasemblvman the Maddenites got
six and the Cassidy people nine. FN-Mayor
Gleason said that the four Maddenltes In the
his influence and that he held the balance Of
power. but both the factions Hdiculed this
Idea.

ALTGELDS INSIDE VIEWS.
says the Republicans Have Rated e1s'oso'-
600 to Count mckinley In.

CurC.oo. Aug. ai-Ex-Gov. John p. Alt-
oeld wants the Democratic National Committee
10 organize vigilance committees 10 watch
the count Of ballots next November. He de-
clares that the Republicans are depending on
fraud and crime at the polls TO carry the cleo
ton and for that purpose have raised $4,000
90 from the trusts. The Democratic managers.
however. do not take kindly to the scheme.
but they say they will keep a better watch this
year than they did in 1895.
Mr.. Altseld said:
In 1892 Cleveland carried Kentucky by
about $1,000 majority. In 1900 Mr.. Bryan got
about 43.oO more votes than had been cast
for Cleveland. So he evidently carried the state
by the neiqhborhood Of 5000 votes. Yet 1t
was counted for Mckinley. This was accom-
pished by means Of false returns and whole
sale frauds committed In Louisville and In the
mountain districts, which were Republican,
careful examination or returns from Ohio
in lsge showed there we're from 10000 TO 10000
fraudulent votes counted In Indiana there
we're between 10000 and 5000 more votes re-
turned than we're cast legally. IN Illinois
every method Of fraud was p%rnctised that was
I'm Chicago a careful comparison Of the vote

do not believe the Republicans can practise
frauds this year on such a Wholesale plan as
they did in 1895.
"We feel these crimes can ba prevented.
] believe that n our people will form vigilance
com0it-pe, in every precinct Of this country,
make careful lists ~ all legal voters and then
take a position inside the booths when the
counting is in progress and see that there is
no false count made and that the votes cast for
the Democratic ticket are not counted for
Republican candidates and that there IL an
honest return. We viii sweep the country from
one end to the other and the Republicans will
not be able to carry eight States in the Union.
