DEMOCRATS CHOOSE CITY DELEGATES Interesting Scenes and Incidents at the Polling Places. THE COMBINE AND SILVER The democrats of the District surprised even themselves last night by the unanim- ity with which they turned out to select the sixty-six delegates who are to choose a delegation ten-elevenths emaller to the national convention at Chicago in July. If there had been a bitter and uncompromis- Ing factional fight in each of the iwenty- two districts it ig doubiful if there would have been more interest exhibited or a larger attendance at the polling places. The election passed off quietly, and there was no disorder, although challenges were frequent in almost every district, and the resolution passed by the cencral committee inviting all “citizens uf democratic faith, regardless” of their past political aff tions,” to participate im the primaries was Particularly honored in its breach. No col- ured £.cn were allowed to vot> unless “hey w properly voucaed for, and over 1 Gecreetown an attempt to vote a proces- s.on cf ffiy negroes was stopped in short order. Receiving the Returns. The returns from the various districts were received at Costello's place, on G street oppesite the city post oifice, and in- stead of the hall being used a large room contiguous to the bar, and the oniy en- trance to which was through the latter,was occupied by Chairman Holmead and the clerks and assistants. A very large gather- ing of local party leaders were assembled here, among them being William Dickson, Andrew Lipscomb, Thomas Williams, Chas. W. Darr, Frank P. Madigan and Jackson Yates, all the candidates for Chicago and The “Colonel Advice. the members of the central committee and a number of others. As the returns came in those who brought them were atcompa- nied by admiring friends, and these adui- tions swelled the crowd until the bar looked as though a presidential inauguration was going on. Enthusiasm of several kinds be- gan to inspire the aggregation, and as the count began to show an unmistakable vic- tory for the so-called combine there was a tendency to start up a yell for every promi- nent democrat in the District. Wiliam Dickson was standing near the wall in the counting room quietly talking to John A. Clark and a Star reporter. Sud- denly a powerful voice cried out: “What's the matter with Bill Dickson?” In the room, in the bar and on the street there rose an immediate reply in mighty chorus: “He's all right!” Mr. Dickson beat a retreat hastily. This began the vocal fun, and it lasted until everybody was hoarse and the policemen began to look at their watches and cough suggestively. The Combine Not a Certainty. With the leaders of the party who were present at Costello’s the most interestiag topic naturally was speculation over the convention Thursday. It became apparent early In the evening that the delegates chesen to the convention <onld not be de- pended upon to support all the members of the central committee combine for the Chi- cago convention with any degree of unan- imity. Some of the tick2ts contained the names of men who were pledgel to sup- port but one of the six candidate; who have been popularly supposed to be making the fight for Chicago together. Numbers of the delegates to tue local convention were known to have promi sup- port to Messrs. Boyie ly, for instance, or for Messrs. Holmead and Boyle, or Messrs. Jordan and Boyle, or any other one or two or three men on the com- bine ticket, but declared themselves abso- lutely free regarding the selection of the remaining members of the delegation to Chicago. The tendency to compel Mr. Will'am D'ck- son to be a delegate to Chicago, despite his persistent déclination to be a candidate or to allow his name to be used, was showr. more strongly last night than ever. The friends of Mr. George Killeen were jubilant last night, and claimed that he would go be- fore the convention with a support sub- stantial enough to make him a delegate to the national body. Working on the Delegates. The prodigious efforts that will be made today to influence the various local dele- gates who were chosen last night will have considerable influence upon the result of tomorrow's deliberations. It was learned today that the committee on credentials will have considerable work before it to- morrow in the matter of settling protests in many districts, but it is doubtful if com- plaints that were not formally made tothe An Endless Chain. judges last night before the returns were made out will be considered. In the eighth district, for instance, over 1,100 votes were returned as having been cast, but they were all thrown for one ticket, and so the palpable impossibility of such an enor- mous vote being registered in such a short time will not be taken into consideration. It was freely asserted at the sixth dis- trict last night that Mr. J. W. Thomas, who defeated Mr. T. G. Huyck for the local convention was a republican, but as the returns from this district were also handed in by the judges without protest, it is not believed that Mr. Thomas’ case will be gone into by the committee on credentials.

Shortly before the voting ceased in the sixth dis- trict last night, Mr. E. L. Jordan, Mr. An- drew Lipscomb and a number of their friends came to the polls on 19th street and Mr. Lipscomb was very much gratified over whit he regarded as a probability of the convention having a large majority of free silver men. “There will not be more than twenty gold advocates in the conven- A Question of Time. tion,’ he declared with much satisfaction, “and a resolution in favor of free silver will be passed without a doubt. I fe2l very much complimented at the statement in The Evening Star today that I was back of this free silver movement. I glory in the cause that should be supported by every true and patriotic democrat, and I feel that the lofty principle will be suffi- elently strong at the back of the conven- tion to push it ahead to a proper recogni- tion of silver.” The Sixty-Six Delegates.

Politics and harmony, as a rule, do not travel hand in hand, but the exception was noticeably in evidence last evening at the gathering of the clans of the second dis- trict in Schuetzen Park Hall, on Lright- weod avenue. So far as good order, unan- imity and absence of dissension are con- cerned the meeting might be likened to a cloudless sky. No chairs were provided in the large hall, and half a dozen lamps were all that dis- pelled the gloom. A large crowd was pres- ent shortly after 7 o'clock, when William Holmead rapped for order and declared the meeting opened. Without opposition Harry |. Daly of Brightwood was chosen chair- man; Bartholomew Finn, secretary, and An Old Voter. John Steckline, C. E. Marlow and William Collins, judges of election. With much dig- nity, Chairman Daly started the ball roll- ing, saying, “Gents, this is going to be a square deal with no hallot-box schemes. I hope that everything will go off as slick as grease.” A line was then formed, and in fifteen minutes the entire vote, with the exception of a few stragglers, was cast, the unani- mous choice being for the following ticket: M. P. Sullivan, Dr. Henry Darling and John Lauer as delegates, with Thomas Buckey, W. McK. Clayton and J. J. O'Day as al- ternates. Only one colored man voted in the second district. During the wait for the closing of the box there was a call for speeches, and the chairman introduced Mr. Holmead as a (Continued on Eleventh Page) WANT THE POPULISTS | — North Carolina Democrats Angling for Their Support. MAY COME TOGETHER ON FREE SILVER Solid Delegation for McKinley Re- garded as Likely. WHAT CONSERVATIVES SAY Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ASHVILLE, N. C., March 10, 1896. The contest in the republican ranks for the delegation to the St. Louis convention Is hot, but it is generally understood that Pritchard has the call on Settle in this fight, as there seems to be little doubt that Mc- Kinley 1s the favorite here. Conservative democrats, who declare they have no in- terest In it one way or another, say that the probabilities are that McKinley will have eighteen of the twenty-two delegates to the national convention, and the four delegates for Reed will very likely vote with the others, and cast a solid delegation for the Ohio candidate. After the Populists. The last election in North Carolina showed that no one party—democratic, republican or populist—had a majority. The struggle now on is to secure a majority. It is a sort of triangular fight, with a desire in some quarters to make a combination with the populists on the part of both the old parties. The combination made by the republicans with populists, which wrested the state from the democrats, is still on, though held by a slender thread. The democrats are striving to pull the populists back Into the party, which they deserted some time ago. z It is generally understood that negotia- tions are deing carried on with Butler or his friends for a return to the democratic party on a plan of silver campaign almost exclu- sively, and all other issues to be temporarily dropped. The sound money democrats are singing In a low key. They say that the state cannot be carried for anything else than silver, and it will be better to have it carried for a democratic silver man than to have it go to the republicans and popu- lists, who will likely be for silver. What the Populists Want. Th populists are anxious to elect an- other Senator. There is a desire shared generally by the popullsts to increase and maintain the balarce of power im the Sen- ate. If a populist, who was a former dem- ocrat, or if a democrat who is much in- clined to the populists could be selected to succeed Pritchard, there is no doubt that such a deal will be made on the populist side. The man of the hour in this emer- gency is J. G. Mott, formerly a wheel horse in democracy, but now way over in the Populist camp. Not so far that he might not be brought back to a partial recon- ciliaticn with the democrats by a line bait- ed with a senatorshin. He been a power in the stat nd democra:s do not want to lose him. € populists welcome him with pleasure, t, he may be the choice of the silver democrats in the leg- islature, in which event a combination may be made with the populists. But before this is done there must be some sort of a deal to dispose of the state offices and the electoral vote. The busy brains of the dem- ocrats who are endeavoring to cffect a reconciliation with the populists are now tryIng to solve the problem. Among the Republica Inthe republican rarks there is a con- tention between the factions. Senator Pritchard is a McKinley man anil a silver man. Representative Settle is a Reed man and a sound money man. There is war be- tween them and their friends. Pritchard has a candidate for yovernor in Judge Russell, who is a good campaigner and a man of strength among the peop!e. Pritch- ard is also given credit for having done @ great deal to pull the state away from the democracy. Settle is a young man who has brought himself to the front in the eastern nortion of the state, and where he has for many years been known as a repubtican worker. His candidate for governor is C. H. Dock- ery. Settle is a candidate for re-election, and, incidentally, if the combination could be arranged, he would like to succced Pritchard in the Senate. : The money question does not cut much cf a figure among the republicans, but it is growing in interest. While the state !s so strong for silver, even in the republican party, the sound money idea is growing. Many republicans are encouragiig Settle to make his fight along these lines, even if he loses for the present, holding that he is a young man, and in the end will win, as the free silver idea disappears. _—_—»—___ ALABAMA ELECTIONS. Report Recommending the Adoption of the Investigation Resoiution. Senator Chandler, from the committee on privileges and elections, has reported the views of the majority of the committee, con- sisting of the republican members, recom- mending the adoption of Senator Allen’s resolution providing for an investigation of the Alabama state and legislative election of 1894. The report also makes reference to the election of 1892, in which Thomas G. Jones, regular democrat, and Reuben F. Kolb were the rival candidates for governor, and asserts that Jones was declared gov- ernor by the wholesale falsification of the returns by dishonest election officers, in pur- suance of a great conspiracy deliberately organized long before the election for the purpose of changing the political com- plexion of the state in case it should appear that Kolb and his supporters had carried the state.”” In 1894 Kolb was again a candidate for governor, with W. O. Oates as his opponent on the regular democratic ticket. The re- port asserts that Kolb was elected at this time, as were a majority of the candidates for the legislature on the same ticket, but that they were not given the offices on ac- count of the fact that an enormously fic- titious vote was returned. The committee say the Kolb legislature was counted out in the same way, and that in both elections the fraudulent returns came mainly from the “black’® counties; that Kolb and his ticket carried a majority of the “white” counties, and that the negroes, failing to register, false poll lists were made, and false returns made and cer- tified favorable to Kolb’s antagonists. “The case,” it is asserted, “is not merely one of local frauds, which happened here and there over the state, but the case made is that of willfully planned and deliberately manu- factured masses of fraudulent returns, based upon no votes whatever, but made to apparently defeat a state government that was actually chosen, and to give apparent title to a state government defeated by the voters."” The committee say that the investiga- tion should be made, and the facts made known. If the charges are well founded the report says it may be the duty of the Senate to oust Mr. Morgan from his seat. —_\_\__e-____ Couldn't Collect Loans. The Commercial and Savings Bank of San Jose, Cal., up to this time, one of the oldest and most prosperous banking institutions in the state, has closed its doors. The as- sets are said to amount to $1,100,000, and the liabilities to about $700,000. Large loans, which the bank was unable to collect, caused the suspension. A Maninc’s Deadly Fight. -A maniac who alighted from the 11:45 train at Brockville, Ont., yesterday, shot eight men. One man, Moore, was killed, and Chief of Police Rose is fatally wound- ed. The maniac himself was shot through the body and is now in jail. He made a terrible fight.
