Mr.. Weisenburger, the newly elected
ward chairman, is one of the most active
young Democrats Of the Sixth, and al
| though he has not formerly been a mem.
| Der of the organization the selection by
the committee meets with popular appro-
| val.
| At the close Of the meeting last even
| ing a number of the precinct chairmen
| and other Democrats who We're there
| had a few severe comments to make
| upon the action of the few malcontents,
! who, as they expressed it, ''have been
trying to create dissension in the party
! by feeding false information to a Re-
publican newspaper These gentlemen
are not so numerous, but they could be
| mentioned by name, and each came in
| for his share Of censure. Aid. Moriarty,
| speaking Of the situation, said:
MOrIarty's Hot Shot.
"There is no rupture in the Democratic
! organization of the Sixth ward, and no
| dissension that is worthy of mention.
| There are a few so-caled democrats
| over here, who, for personal and purely
| selfish reasons, are discontinued and
would he willing, if they had the power,
| to sacrifice the welfare of the party to
| their own personal vengeance. There
| is Mcdonald, for instance; he used to be
| one of our most enthusiastic Democrats,
| and would be still if 1 had been able to
| get him an appointment as member
| of the. board of public works. But I
| could not do that, and now he is out to
| get even at no matter what cost to the
| party Fortunately his power in that di-
| rection is but slight. McGrath, who
| is one of McDonalds supporters, has al
ways edged in on proxy whenever he
| has attended any of the meetings of the
| ward organization, and is not to be fear
| ed. Young NcNally is not bad fellow,
! but he seems to have got into bad COM
| pany, and 1 think he will find that out
| before he has gone very much farther
| ''Of course these few malcontents have
| the encouragement and the support, for
what it is worth, of Humphrey Barton.
| His cause for wishing to work harm is
| too we'll known to require any explana-
| ton. He is strictly for Humphrey Bar
| ton, and whenever it is brought home TO
| him that the Democratic organizati ton
| and the Democratic party is not main
| tanned solely for his personal aggrandize-
| ment and the furtherance of his individ-
! ual plans, he is out to work injury to
| the Democracy.
s'He is acting now just as he did in
| the fight for the city attorneyship. Then
| he was for the Democratic candidate as
| long as the Democratic candidate was
| Humphrey Barton: but when he found
| that his Democratic candidate, H. Bar
| ton could not be elected. he was for the
] Republican candidate. That is Hum
phrey Barton for you and the Demo-
| cratic city and county committee is well
| rid of all such Democrats as he and Nc
| Donald
