The announcement that the First Ward pri- maries {a tho election of delegates to the Democratic Congressional Convention would be held last night at 77 Southy Clark strect was cnough to till the large room in the third story of that buildiug to its utmost capacity. They were all there, including s few respectable men, who had evidently come as n matter of duty, and who were desirous that the falrest menns should be used in theclection, and that ouly the best men should be clected. Tt wos known that there wouldbe a row, The feoling that such would be the case eecmed to bave erept out carly and called in all the riff- raff, scum, blacklegs, despernlocs, and peace-disturbers of which the Democratic party Is composed, They lined the walls and were seattered In groups here nud there. All present were obliged to stand, there belng but few chairs and so large 2 crowd. Awid the groatest confusion the meeting was begun. Dr.J. Ward Elils took the chair and called the assembinge to order, but they did not come to order. _However, the procesdivgs were commenced, The decent part of tho wmeeting came to the front and sat down onthe platform. Ed Cunningham, Mr, Pike, and Mr. Iinrtiman wero Viee-Presidents, The Chalr read the au- thorlty for the mecting, aud safd that the mem- bers of three clubs, the First Waid Club, the Reform, and the German were entitled to vote, nnd that nobody, unless he had hed his nomo an the.roll for three days, vould vote, They were to elect flve delegates. The announcoment that none but those who had been_ sprolled in the elub for three days could vote'Talsed the volees of somie thirty or forty perons, who were standing just in’ front of” the Chalrman, They clofmed to be ald restdent Democrats and possesacd of o vote. - A general “kick™ was the result. The Chalr sald that the County Committeo had eo declded und it could not b oihierwise. Then all tutked at one time, The yelled, hollered, screeched, howled, sereamedy and no one knew what tor. Dave Thornton called for the pollco to put the crowd back. P, McHugh moved to drive the audience into the back part of the roow, and then as thelr names were called they should come forward aud vote. ‘Tomn Foley ¢hampioned the opposition 1o Thoruton and Mellugh, aud attempted to be heard, butl his volee was drowned In a continuation of the pandemontum wiifeh hnd not ccased, Mclugh told Tom to vghut up, " as he was not a First Warder, and had nothing to say, Tom got up on the Chalr- man's table, while all around crowdea the men of buth factlons, and tried to be heard. Ifuap- pealed to the audlence whether he should vote, and a plercing yell was the unswer, The other siide then yelled, Blll{ Melntyro wanted the Club dfshanded, that all inight vote, The Chalr pald that_that wus {mpossible. The Sccretory would call the roll, and tlluf shiould ballot, Ed. Cunninghum wanted to know what they shoult vote for. There wero no mnominu- tions. Further demonlaead — yells all honds oround. An - indesceribable sceny of confusion followed. Lverybody talked shook flats fn cach other's faces and swore. I Mellugh mounted a chair and read to the dele- grates as follows: *First Ward delegates_to the Democratie Congresstonal Conventlon, Dr. Swain Wickersham, Watts 8. Carver, 1L G. Pulllng, 1.

"A general shaking of fista followed ~this ~ announcetnent and confusfon relgned supreme, It waa certabi that Titus was the first man who bad attempted to vote, and a hat was In use fnatend of a ‘bal- lot-box., Yet when the hat, which had been just under Thornton's hands, \vngdplvkml u‘p, it was found to conta$n about a rood handful of Caul- field delegate tickets, The discovery fell like a bombshell in the crowd, and “Stuff the box, Dave,” “8well her up, Dave, you stufler,” “FIIT her up, old South Town clection-stuflor,” were the eries which were heard on all sfdes, The flends Incarnate never fought harder than did those in the immediate vieinity of the ballot- bat. Lawyer Trude was heard to say that Ae- Hughwasinterested fu theclectionand that somo one clsc ehould call the Jist of names. They were about ready to inftiate annther fiznt when suni¢ one, unknown becauseindistinguishable ln the writhing mass of humanity, snatched the memberahip-roll and started through thecrowd. They fought over it. threw each other down, und'in the mldst of the melee the roll was torn into pleces not as large as a 10-cent plece. Everybody velled and sereamed sgain. Trude monited tlie table, now weak in its legs, and denounced Thornton as the prince of ballot-lox stuffers, u Har, aml o Lazarus of corruption. No sooner were thie words out of his mouth than he was upset, the table following him. Anoth- er rumpus. Fists were ralsed, walking-sticks waved dangerouely about, heads bobbed hers und there, and legs and arms were where they were least expected. Then two policemen rushed in ana, by a vigorous threatening with thelr clube, quelled the rab- ble. A man who was supposed to ba nn assist- ant secretary announced that the roll was lost; there could be nw roll-coll, hence no ballot, and no legal election, He advised themn all to go home, J. Ward Ellis bad put his hiead out of danger and was out of sight. Ed Cunningham took the place of presiding officer and called for order, Ellls appeared and said that there could ba no election. A man got up in the midst of it sll anid moved to adjourn to the Palmer House. Many went out. Those remalning elected Ed Cunninzham s President, and clected unani- mously by ncclamation the fotlowing delegates, the majority of whom_are opposcd to the nom- fnation’ of " Barncy Cauifield: damcs Ryan, George Everhiart, W, L. Newman, Auton Herg, and Thomas Foley. They then stood around and talked, ond the TrinuNg man who had taken the feast In heard it stated that Dave Thornton, to begin with, was a ballot-box-stuffer, and that he and his gang had come prepared to clect a Caulfield ticket or fight, und that theysliould have turned off the gns to stull the balfot to that end, It was also tated that the list of members which . McHugh Intended to read was a prepared 1ist, 80 prepared that only those who swere for Barney G. Caulficld were to be called I:E to de- osit thelr ballots, Taken altogether, the meet- ug was_the most dlsnrllc:rl§3 disgraceful, and most characteristic of the Democratie party that has taken place in this city for many years, and §t is fortunate that the house wasnot pulled for disorderly, AT TUE PALMER, On arriving at the Palmer House, the quict and peaccable clement of the party nt once re- orguiized the meeting and proceeded to work. Dr. Elils, as Presldent of the Club, took the chalr, and P'. Mcllugh, assisted by two or three able-boaied gentlenien, acted as Sceretary, Af- ter the Chair called the gathering to’ order, Florcuee !lchn.h{ offered u resolution to the effect that o committee of three be nppointed to draft a description of the row aty Clark atreet, the same to be presented to the Conven- tlon to-day. The Cholr appointed as such committce Messrs. McCarthy, Plke, and Taylor, While the Committee was enzaged In prepar- fng the history of the rlot, the Sccretar sumed the calllng of the roll—oue out of about every three members respondivg to his name, and depogiting his ballot. At the conclusion of the roll-call, and while the tellers were counting the vote, Florenco Mc(inn.hy‘s Committce made the followlug re- port: The Democratic voters reeldent fn the First ‘Ward asrembled in o meeting at the Palmer Houee, which was adjourned from n meeting on the same evening ot 77 Clark street, respectfuily submit tothe Cook County Central Committoe, the Con- casional Convention which asscmbles to-morrow Saturday), and to the Democratic party of the connty, the following statement of the cause of thelr adjournment: As £00n na the meetingat 77 Clark streot was called to order, It becanis evident that It had been invaded by a numtmnrrcrwuu for violent and un- lawful purpoAcs; the rnlo of the Commities for- any one to vote but registered club mewmbers wus trented with contempt, and persons who were well known not 1o reafile in the ward nesumed to take controlof tho mesting. These disturbers violated ovury rule, not only of parliamentacy usage. hut of otdinary propriely, and at last ecized from the hands of the Sccretary one of the rolls of mem- bers, by which tho vote was ta be decided, and carrfed it from the room; threw the Chairman from his seat, and attempted to ratee a panic by the firing of a pistol. “fhis meetig deplores oxceedingly the acones hiere detailed, but belleve that they are common to all large cities, and must ba met with as much conragenn they aroattempted with. And it ap. penls ta the purty ln convention assembled to re- cclve tha delegation which it lizs appoluted, which, by the most_cursory inspection, will show thnt thielr action is entlrely dixinterceted, and is taken Inthe fnterest of good order, good government, and of the Democratic party. This mecting sends {his cxrresalnn of its gricv- ancs to the Conventlon by the hands of the five following gentlemen: Florence McCarthy, i, W, Plke J. B, Tliden, L. Hovore, 3. Ward Elije, . K. C. Forrest, who will corraborate the state- ments, and accredit the delesates whom it has ap- pointed, And, for the still furthier satixfaction of the Conventton, the original list of voters ot the meeting fv uppended, The rcrnn. was unanimously adopted.
