MORIARTY AND MINOR
Nominated For Representatives, By
 Democrats Minor Refuses to Run.

John F. Holohan presided at the meeting of the democratic town con- vention last night. and Thomas Coyle acted as clerk. It was understood that Ambrose H. Wells and John Mo riarty would be the nominees for representatives. but things didn't turn out that way, the nominees be- ing John Moriarty and Attorney Henry Minor. Mr Moriarty was chosen by a vote of 25 to 2. The vote for MT Minor was 16 for Minor and II for MT Wells. Isadore Chase was also mentioned, but his name was not pressed, although he re- ceived few votes. The whole thing was a big surprise to everybody, and especially to MT Minor, who states that he didn't desire the nomination and that he said 70 frequently during tho past week CT s0 to people. who wanted him to- run. Mir Minor de- clined the nomination and SO notified Francis T. Reeves, clerk of the dem- ocratic town committee, to-day. MT Moriarty has accepted and unless he changes his mind he will give the opposition the run of their lives.

 It is stated with authority by prominent republicans that Alder man James H. Filling is not n the running for the nomination Tor rep resentative, and that consequently the party is hard up for candidates. No one has the slightest Idea who will be the candidate for the probate judgeship on that ticket and tkere is quite as much wonder who ths can- didates for representatives will be.
 George M. Chapman. whose name with others in connection with al signed statement printed herein Tuesday regarding the Dean ballot machine. says his name was lnau- thorized and desires to state dat he appended his name to no statement of any sort for any machine. Al Democrat reporter got the names from Michael Delaney. moderator at the third ward booth. and had no reason to doubt that ell had been consulted. Mir Delaney said to-day that he mentioned the matter 10 Mir Chapman and that judging oy what he said he supposed he had nc ob- lection to the use of his name for that purpose. "ff had known that he had the slightest objection to what was being done." said Mir De- laney.
