 The most serious altercation of the evening took place in the fifth ward, Martin J. Kelly and James D. Mo- Kenna being the disputants. The former is reported to have struck the latter glancing blow on the eye when McKenna objected to Kelly exercising the right to vote at democratic caucus, having two years ago been a candidate for office on the Farmer-Labor party ticket.
 The story going the rounds this morning is to the effect that Mo Kenna called for the check list in voting SO that only those properly registered might cast a ballot. When Kelly took an opposite stand, Me- Kenna is reported to have reminded him of his utilization with the Labor party two years ago, and chal- lenged his right to take part in democratic meeting. Kelly then, &C., cording to the report. directed well aimed blow at McKenna, who was about to return the compliment when the other voters separated the two men, Both were afterwards elected to the city convention and will at- tend tonights meeting.
 Smith Overruled.
 In the sixth ward, a vacant store had been provided for the caucus but in the absence of light, the officials gladly accepted the offer of James Scott for the use of his billiard rarlor at 22S North street Ex-Al- derman M. T. Kerkin presided. At the opening of the meeting, T. C. Smith made an intellectual attempt to have only democrats who are regis tered given the right to vote After Registrar T. J. Smith explained the law on caucuses, he was overruled. The meeting then proceeded to elect delegates.

Pao- | ressa's name went through without l hitch. T. C. Smith then offered the | name of A. Gorbach and. feeling that | they were playing off one slate against another, John E. R. Keevers offered | the name of Alderman Frank Conlon. Conlon was elected. The remaining 1 were picked without opposition.
 The third ward delegates were nam ed by a nominating committee made 1 ID of P. F. King. D. J. Donahue and L. P. Mangan. James P. Kiniry, sec retary to the mayor, and Edward A. Mccarthy, chairman of the board Of ssessors arrived at the caucus after he committee had gone into session md when report was read, eXclud- ng their names, they left the meeting 'oom.

Mccarthy and he mayors secretary, James kiniry vent on a little electioneering expe- iition yesterday afternoon, it is said, n an attempt to corral large num- ,er of women to attend the caucus. t Is said that they spent much of heir time in the sixth ward, but if hat be true their accomplishments were not as great as their efforts for ut two women were in attendance at he sixth ward caucus. The two yomen present, according to those here were the mayors wife and his nother- -in-l law.
