Ward.

hand, and voice. Of Alderman Shea alone
made It possible to transact any business.

difficult matter for the chairman to
toll where he was at.

tee called the caucus TO order and the fun
began al once. Martin Sullivan and
James McCarty were placed in nomination
for chairman. The caucus wanted neither
OF them and both were defeated. J. J.

was taken on the suggestion. Thomas Nc
Gcttrick was then nominated and elected.
Some one then nominated John X. Kelley
for the office of alderman and he shou
Ing was resumed. Alderman s "a noun
ed chair and appealed to those present
TO conduct the caucus in an orderly man
nor, reminding them that no secretary had
been elected. j. +. Bolgcr was nominated
and won't through wi rush. Alderman

the chair and stated that he had been
many times honorcd by Tie party, which
