IcToRY FOR coNsERy ATfyl
DEMOCRATS.
VICTORY

The conservative element Of the Mas
sachusetts Democratic party won out over
the radicals in the convention held at Bos-
ton yesterday, the followers Of Josiah
Quincy being the victors over those Of G.
n Williams, the one representing the Rich
ard 0iney faction and the other that Of
william Randolph Hearst To fact, il was
a complete rout for the latter, four Olney
delegates being chosen with instructions
to vote for Olney as the candidate Of the
national Democratic party until such
time as .e IL nominated or they shall be
officially instructed otherwise TO add
to the humiliation OF the Hearst crowd,
the delegates must vote as a unit Through
out, the victory was all for the Olney fac
ton; yet what was the use Of eIecting del
egates tied down to olnes2 The consery-
alive element was simply whistling to bols-
ter up q lost cuuse when they dill it, for
Olney has not the least chance OF being
nominated by the Democratic party Of the
country. Outside Of Massachusetts be
wills practically no support 1t viii be
nothing but a complimentary vote for a IA
