It will at least throw some light on the methods of the Whispering Boss, who has ordered that the voters of his party shall have i voice in the selection of the men who are to represent them at the State sonvention. All of the sessions of the committee of .nine were executive, and the mem- BARNEY "MC KENNA OBJECTED FORCIBLY ders were required to pledge them- selves to secrecy as to all proceedings. ‘After the Harney and Sullivan wings y£-the local Democracy had presented their claims-to recognition as the legai governing body of the party in this sty the committee closed the doors of theé meeting-room to all comers and segan its deliberations. It soon de- veloped that McNab had control of thé ~ majority of the committee and ‘hat he intended to use his power. He leclared that he was in favor of ignor- ng both contending factions and ap- »ointing a new governing body to be somposed of one hundred members to ve named by the committee of nine. and | demonstration that will | power | | of the committee, which was led by | Governor Budd and Robert M. Fitzger- |ald. Though McNab and his followers | held the majority of the committee, they found thefr game blocked by the | minority, which threatened to present [a minority report to the State Com- mittee. As such a course would ex | pose the scheme of McNab to gain con- | result in its defeat by the State Com- | mittee, the Whispering Boss changed his tactics. He reed to make every | reasonable concession to the minori | provided each member of the commit- | tee would bind himself to join in mak- jng a unanimous report to the State Committee. It was here the mi- trol of the local Democracy and might | mittee on district organization was ap- pointed, Sammy Braunhart being named as chairman. Braunhart is Mc- Nab’s lleutenant and Max Popper's Man Friday. When this action was taken the members of the committee of nine presumed that it was the first | step toward the holding of district club primaries. If it was the first step it was the only one. Braunhart's com- mittee has never taken any action, has never made a report and has now gone out of existence. Instead of inform- ing the committee of one hundred that it was required to hold pri- maries McNab issued orders for the selection of delegates by appoint- ment. Such is the secret history of the ap- pointment of the present governing body of the local Democracy. The sequel is yet to be told. Mec- Nab's reasons for ignoring all pledges are that he was fearful of losing his newly acquired power, and a desire to secure for himself the nomination for Congressman from the Fourth District. He was well aware that delegates elected at a primary would ignore his ambition to become a statesman. He therefore issued orders that the dele- gates be selected by appointment, he reserving to himself the right to name the men to be appointed by such mem- bers of the committee of one hundred as he controls—that is to say the ma- Jjority of the committee. There are 153 delegates to be appointed. Each mem- ber of the committee has the appoint- ment of one delegate and fifty-three are to be appointed by the committee act- ing as a body. If McNab can carry | out his plan to have these fifty-three | delegates named from the list of | names he has prepared he will then | have a majority of the delegation and will be in a position to order his own nomination in the Fourth District. He will also be able to vote the gele- Lyons, Egnmest J. Preston, William Sand, Thomas Caveney, John O'Hara, John Sharkey, William J. Fivey, Joseph F, Carrick, John J.

This, they con- | tended, would protect the voters, as it | | would give them an opportunity of ex- pressing their wishes regardless of any | combination that might be made in the proposed committee of one hundred. A long wrangle foiiowed which was cnded by McNab and his followers agreeing to the primary election stipulation of the minority. This! point having been settled the minority | agreed to the stipulation regarding the | presentation of a unanimous report to the State Committee. The subject mat- ter of this report, which was signed by | every member of the committee, is | | familiar to all. It should be understood, | | however, that the task of instructing |the newly appointed committee of | one hundred of the primary election stipulation was delegated to McNab, ! who was to advocate the holding of | district club primaries on a plan which he detailed to the committee and which was approved and agreed | to.

Harney Democratic clubs in the sembly Districts in this city met last evening and nominated dele- es to the State convention at Sacra- The mento. In all but the Thirty-first Dis- trict only the allotted number were named. Primaries will be held Monday at which the representatives of 3 5" will be formally elected. Major Harney and his line officers are not oversanguine about breaking into the | State convention, but they intend to make a hard fight, nevertheless. After the Sac- to campaign the battalion will re- and wage a regular Cuban cam- paign & nst the exclusive triumvirate which has usurped the rights of the Dem- ocrats in the city. The courts will be in- voked to establish the standing of the two factions and decide which is right- fully entitled to representation on the city and county ticket. The Harney delegates’ nominated last night are: Twenty-eighth District—James Daley, John F. McGovern, Michael Lane, Frank R. Swee- ney, Willlam McManus, L. Buckley, John Conkley, John J. Allen. Twenty-ninth _District—James K. Colbert, Fred Russell, Michael Wail, Joseph Flanagan, Thomas F. Blake, Robert 'O'Reflly, John A. Cullen, James J. Farrell, Nicholas Fitzgerald, Charles Kaufmann.

Love, Colonel Dennis rosiin, Johnrs. mittee of one hundred met last night in Native Sons’ Hall and named delegates to the State Convention. Each member of the committee was allowed to name one delegate. The remaining fifty-four will be nominated at a meeting to be held to-night in the same hall, and the election will be held on Monday night. It was determined that the committee will appoint delegates at the next meet- ing where members have failed to avail themselves of the privilege up to that time. Delegate Heeney was opposed to the motion, on the ground that the right of nominating was vested in the mem- bers and could not be taKen from them. It was found that inadvertently 158 delegates had been provided for, whereas only 154 were allowed. As the latter was the proper proportion, a vote was passed to that effect. Francis J. Heeney introduced a reso- lution, which was accepted without de- bate, to the effect that James D. Phelan be made a delegate at large to the State Convention. The suggestion that went with it was to the effect that he be made chairman of the delegation. Barney McKenna named A. J. Clunle as his representative in the Thirty-sixth Dis- trict. The nomination was opposed by Max Popper on_the ground that Mr. Clunie was an officeholder and therefore not eligible. Mr. McKenna in support of his nomination cited the case of Mayor Phelan, who had been previously named as delegate at large. hairman John P. Dunn ruled that the law which read “no clerk or deputy shall be eligible,” did not apply to Mr. Clunie. The ruling was re- ceived with applause. A long discussion ensued over the propo- sition that the committee recefve nomina- tion from the fifty-four men whe are to be elected at large. Barry, Braunhart, McCarthy and Popper and others con- tributed to the discussion, which resulted in.the nominations going over until to- night, Efforts to_ reopen the question were quelled by adjournment.

One of the most attractive feat- ures was a number of comic songs and recitations by William J. Hynes, well-known comedian. An eloquent ad- dress upon the subject of “Patriotism.” was delivered by John J. Barrett. In it he outlined and defined civil government, speaking of it as divine in itself as the soul of man and obligatory and binding as moral law. He drew a_well-defined parallel of the patriotism of the people of the United States and the people of other nations. He characterized it as one of the paramount tralts of every Ameri- can eitizen, emphasizing this fact by the heroic sacrifice that our volunteer sol- diers are now making in defense of the principles of liberty and tolerance in the present war. The speaker said that when the war shall have terminated the Ameri- can republic will be under a lasting ob- ligation to the Irish and the Catholic church. This claim, he stated, was based upon the blood of Catholics and Irishmen, hun- dreds of .whom have ‘perished for the nation since the war was declared; and to the ladies of the Catholic Truth Society who have worked so Indefatigably in ai- leviating the sufferings and privations of the soldiers. In conclusion he reviewed the policy. of the nation and spoke of the war as the great and stupendous proof that the Government of this country is based on the greatest of all powers of complete unlon—that of patriotism.
