VERY QUIET
CONVENTION
INDICATED
Democratic Nominations for
Senator and Representatives
Causing Little Fear Of Trouble

The city Democratic assembly con-
vention will be held In the Fourth ward
room in the Central police station next
Friday evening and indications point to a
quiet convention
II is probable that the delegates will as
semble in secret caucus previous to the
convention and agree upon a ticket and
ratify II in the convention.
In the First ward David J. Barry has
the call and will probably be nominated
The Second ward people have not yet
settled on choice for representative
but In the Third ward the Economic
league controls the delega ton and the
candidate of the league. Thomas +. Gal
ligan, will doubtless get the nomination.
The Fourth ward man will probably be
Samuel Z. Danbury. ana the Fifth ward.
+. J. Mccarthy. In the Ninth ward the
name OF Seril Armstrong 10 prominently
mentioned.
II the Tenth ward is given one OF the
delegates at large II is said that the
men TO be named from that ward will be
John T. Cannon and Thomas p. Haven.
The campaign of the Economic league
Is not taken very seriously by the
Democratic managers. The league is ac-
cused OF refusing to abide by the result
of the Democratic caucuses, where IL
was beaten, and OF boiling the regular
tickets there nominated.
From present Indications but very few
OF the men put In nomination by the
Economic league will be acceptable TO the
| Democrats.
Both sides claim TO have the registra-
| ton. but the fact remains that in the
| exception.
In some quarters among the regulars

harbor master. Mr.. Mcguire has been
nominated for the office by the Economic
| league. The choice of his ward for the
| position is said to be John j. Murphy.
