The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1904-10-13

Long before the Democratic city con-
vention was called to order last night by
Chairman David s. Barr OF the city com
mittee the seats outside the rail In the
sixth district court room on Fountain
street were filed and the standing room
was jammed full OF anxious Democrats
way out TO the stairway.
There they stayed despite the tobacco
laden atmosphere which could be almost
carved with knife by the time o'clock
arrived, and the delegates elbowed their
way through the Jam on the stairs and
took their places in the seats usually oc-
cupied by the prisoners and witnesses.
Once inside they became to all prac-
tical purposes prisoners. while the throng
outside the rail. which had come TO see
they did their duty. were the witnesses.
Signs OF an impending conflict were in
evidence from the outset. for the members
Of the Barr-Dorney faction lined up on
one side OF the room and Mayor Miller 3
sdherents assembled in groups for con-
sultation purpose on the other.
