vention as a candidate for councilman-at-
large; This left the field open to Sullivan
and Kelly. The time set for the meeting
was o'clock, and by that time the saloon
underneath Parnel Hall was packed with
men and more than hundred stood on the
sidewalk. All showed the effects OF the free
beer that was being dispensed over the bar.
Sullivans managers had not rounded up
all their delegates at the appointed time
and the meeting was delayed for hour.
While the crowd warmed itself up TO the
situation the cries of Sullivan or nothing
were TO be heard. Sullivan's friends had
charge OF arrangements and they saw that
no one but duly accredited delegates were
admitted to the room. Each side was very
bitter iE its canvassing. At times men were
on the verge Of striking one another. The
presence of Sergeant Weaver and five pa
tromen averted the fstcuffs.

was elected Chairman, while Timothy Lam

Kelly. AT the call of the thirteenth pre-
cinct it was evident to Kelly and his friends
that Sullivan had enough votes for the
nomination. Kelly then asked that the
nomination be made unanimous. The
ardent friends of Sullivan rushed forward
and carried him around the room on their
shoulders. After he had made a short

more free beer was disposed Of.

M'CULLOUGH'S WITHDRAWAL.


and Quit the Race.
James E. Mccullough, whose withdrawal
from the race for the mayoralty nomination
before the opening of the convention was
the big surprise of the day, is not yet ready
to discuss his withdrawal and the reasons
for his action, nor has he anything to say
regarding the ticket selected by the conven-
ton. When he was seen at the Indiana
Club last evening and asked for an express
sion he replied:
II do not care to discuss the matter at
this time. / said this morning that 1 was
rot surprised and not disappointed at the
result Of the primaries, and 1 have nothing
to add to that"
Mr. Mccullough reached his decision to
get out of the race after consultation
with some of his closest friends yesterday
morning. He acted against the wishes of
many Of his supporters, who, although they
knew they could not hope for success, were
ready and anxious to go down In defeat
with him with their colors flying.
The McCullough forces realized that they
were beaten week ago, when 1T became
apparent that Chairman Reach and the en-
tire city organization were behind Hotz-
man. but they kept UP the fight with un-
abated zeal until after the primaries. The
friends of Mr.. Mccullough say he has lost
nothing by this defeat, but, on the con-
trary. that he stands higher in the regard
of the rank and file of the Democratic par
ty in Indianapolis than ever before

Vice President T. L. Lewis. OF the United
Mine Workers. returned yesterday from a
second visit to the New River and Loup
Creek district Of West Virginia. where he
has been endeavoring to ascertain the cor
rect condition OF affairs among the miners
and operators. 1t has been rumored that
the mine operators were holding their men
in slavery, and that they have stubbornly
refused TO recognize the union. The feeling
of the operators against unionism is so
bitter that they will not allow a union Of

THE COUNCILMEN AT LARGE.
Convention Delegates Had n Hard
Time Picking winners.

The struggle over the nomination of six
candidates for councilmen at large was one
to try mems souls. The rest of the ticket
had been disposed Of rapidly, thanks to
the preponderance of sentiment toward the
machine candidates, but when 1T came to
the councilmanic question, there was
trouble, and it lasted from a little after 1
o'clock until $50.
The names of twenty-five candidates were
presented, and from this number six were
to be selected. Each delegate could vote
for six candidates and this added to the
compexity of the problem of taking a bal
lot. In several OF the wards the delegates
got together. fixed up slate and cast the
vote by wards announcing so many votes
for one candidate, so many for another
and 80 on, but In others the delegates were
obstreperous and demanded that the roll be
called by precincts. For this reason about
two hours was consumed on each roll call.
The delegates in the Tenth, Eleventh and
Thirteenth wards were especially trouble
some, and at one time 1t found neces-
sary TO eject from the hall one of the
Tenths doughty Democrats. He came back
later however, and subsided to a large de-
gree.
The names presented were: Frank S.
Frank Smith, Albert Z. Rauch, Paul Bon
ner. Frederick Schumacher, James H.
Stumph, j. w. Ballard, Jacob z. Baker. ].
w. McGrew, David II. Cause, Christopher
Warweg. Frederick Lehr. Jacob Hinkene.

and Valentine Bachman-
When the result of the first ballot was an
nounced IL was found that Fishback, Man.
ion. Pettijohn and Warweg had received
majority Of the total vote of the conven-
ton. On the second Curran landed under
the wire a winner; on the third none OF the
five men who remained in the lists re-
ceived the necessary number of votes and
on the fourth again none received a ma
jority, but Cause, Hilkene and Schumach-

motion was put and carried and the con-

LITTLE FOR POLICE JUDGE.

Again it was a case Of the machine candi-
date winning from the announcement OF the
vote of the First ward. but the entire roll
was completed for the first time. There
was considerable confusion among the DEL
egates during this roll call and there were
evidences that some of the machine men
were trying to give solid delegations to Lit
tie when the delegates were divided. In the
Twelfth. for instance. the chairman an

FOGARTY FOR CLERK.

William NJ. Fogarty and John w. Folger
were the only candidates placed in nom-
nation for city. clerk. The name of j. w.
Losh was not presented but three delegates
in the Seventh ward insisted on voting for
him. 1t was apparent from the start that
there was nothing TO II but Fogarty, and
when seven wards had been called Folger
saw his case was hopeless and gracefully
moved to make Fogarty's nomination unani-
nous. The motion prevailed with shout
and Fogarty came forward in answer to the
calls for a speech. He stopped to shake
hands with Folger, then advanced to the
front of the stage. Fogarty Is easily the
most popular of the candidates selected and
the delegates insisted on cheering him for
some moments while he smiled and bowed.
After listening to the words OF the next
mayor of Indianapolis he said II feel that
| should say nothing as TO the platform or
the issues" He thanked the convention for
the preferment he had received.
