FIRST WARDS WANTS.
Democratic Association Has
a Satisfactory Confer
ence With Mr..
Davis.

The copy of the resolutions sent Mr..
Robert Davis about two weeks ago from
the members of the First Ward Demo-
cratic Club, in which they demanded that
the club receive proper patronage from
the party, and that during the coming
election they would like to have a rep
resentative in the Board of F'reeholders,
seems to have received no consideration
by Mr.. Davis. who did not answer 1t.
When an answer was not Forthcoming a
committee was appointed by the club for
the purpose of having an interview with
him. That committee made a report at
last nights meeting, which was as fol-
lows
sOn Tuesday, August IA, the committee
proceeded to the clubhouse of the Robert
Davis association and there met Mr..
Davis
''The committee, through our president,
plained to Mr.. Davis that we were
organized as a Democratic club, having
the interests of Democracy at heart and
that we wished to act In perfect harmony
with the County Committee.
"Mr. Davis said that we would be fully
recognized. but that when he received
it as demand and therefore ignored our
communication.
Chairman Boyle explained the resolu-
ton and said there must be some mis-
understanding as that resolution was
simply sent as a notification of our ex-
istance as Democratic club and was in
no way q demand.
1.-THE explanation of our chairman ap-
peared to be satisfactory
Mr. Davis told the committee that he
had received such demand for the
Second Ward also, which he ignored as
he must first findout the sentiment of the
people of the ward ana then act.
He said that any information which
the club wishes about the County Com
mittee can be had by addressing P. D.
Murphy, secretary County Committee,
Surrogate's office.
They hold their first meeting on the
first Friday in September
''As the committee were about to leave
he told them that there would be public
meeting held in ST. Peters Hall, and that
if the County Committee were not in
charge the club would have charge of the
meeting. He said he would notify us of
the date of the meeting. He told us that
it would not be of any use for US to noti-
fy the State Committee, as we had a good
Executive County Committee fully able
to take charge of the campaign.
THE interview was brought to close
in very friendly manner, and he told
us to come up to see him any evening af-
ter eight o'clock, after September /, for
advice, and he would be only too pleased
to give it.
Respectfully submitted.
