Democratic COMMITTEE last night de-
cided to leave to the voters of Clay and
Lee Wards the selection of candidates to

Clay Ward, and Messrs. Butler' earring
ton and Ilimbrough AS members from
Lee Ward, to fill the uneXpired terms
for which they were regularly elected
from old Clay Ward
The question of filing the vacancies
now existing in these two wards was
raised and Captain Cunningham Hall
questioned the authority OF the commit

that the voters Of Clay Ward should be
ner,mitted to select their own represen-
tativeS.

could tsako such action in filing the va
cancies, and upon this ruling an appeal
was taken, which appeal reversed the
decision of the chair.
