Quiet, and peace wer the watchword yesterday among-' th hungry hordes of A. P. A. office-seekers and place-hunters who thronged th City Hall and th streets. It had been thought by some ex citable people that much blood would be spilled and that th Aldermen would be placed la JalL Neither of these happened.

The offices of th Chief of Police and Board of Public Safety wer quiet as Sunday-school rooms after th scholars have left, though between th cracks of th shutters could "be seen blue- uniformed men, determined to "hold THB TAX-PATER 9 WILL. TOOT TOT the fort at any cost. It was this way when th sun crept behind th knobs back of New Albany. Th offices wer guarded by- patrolmen on orders from the old Board of Public Safety. Th new board did aot make any attempt to Interfere.

In fact, the member did not show themselves outside the office which had been kindly loaned them by Mayor Todd. Th most conspicuous thing connected with Mr. R. M. Cunningham, th al leged new Chief of Police, was his ab sence from th City HalL He gave no orders.

It he had they would not have been obeyed by th present policemen, who are determined to stand by th old Board of Safety until th courts render a decision. Throughout th day a crowd of men. numbering several thousand, stood about the City HalL and discussed th situa tion end th chance for serious trouble. Only one real fight occurred. Ex-Detectives Tom Connell and William For rester engaged in a tussle la a saloon across the alley from Central polic station.

Connell was cut with a butcher-knife and Deforrester was arrested. As far as results wer concerned the fight amounted to little. Down at the Armory seven tv-eia-ht soldiers patrolled back asd forth, readv at a moment's notice to march wherever they were needed. These were the members of Companies A and and a detachment of the Battery On of th most sensational features connected with yesterday's proceedings was a statement of a prominent member the A. P.

A. organisation that Mayor Todd bad joined th order. The man who made the statement said Mr. Todd had Joined the "Business Men's Lodge." one night last week at the witching; hour of midnight, after the regular bust. nee or tne lodge nad been concluded.

and that it was the only A. P. A. lode In town that would have admitted him. If this is true the remarkable action of Mayor Todd and the A.

P. A. Aldermen and Councilmen agreeing on a combine to oust the Board of Public Safety and set control of th cltv sovernment is easily explained, and needs no further comment. The legality of the action of the Im peachment court in firing the Board of none gaiety while In secret session behind closed doors was severely crit icised yesterday by prominent attor neys, who claim that such an action was absolutely void, and that the law requires such sessions to be held in pub lic. The attorneys for th prosecution claim this is not the case.

Th meeting was held In th Criminal Court room and was attended by some thing; over three hundred Democrats from Marlon and Johnson counties, and among them were nearly all of them mea known as th better element of th party In this city. Ths meeting was called to order at 1:30 o'clock by Samuel O. Pickens. Chairman of the State Com mittee, who presided, and Duan H.

Pick- u. While th commltte was in retire ment making its selections ther were loud calls for Mr. By num. who was in the room. and.

he made a brief speech, which was frequently interrupted by applause. He spoke In substance as fol lows: It Is hardly a proper thing to discuss In detail the situation that has resulted in our assembling here this afternoon. I have been an earnest, a continual and a loyal supporter of every Democratla platform and of every Democratic ticket that has been placed In the field urine the past thirty years. For the first time in my i nna mac I am uusdi to support the platform or to Indorse the ticket nominated by the convention called for our oarty at Chicago. I am unable to sun- port them because I do not believe the platform adopted at Chicago is Democratic or the men nominated upon it Democrats.

(Applause. It seems almost impossible that in the short space of four years such a remarkable transformation could have taken place. Four years aso the Democratic party united and unanimously looked toward one man to lead them to victory. The views of Grover Cleveland on the money question were well understood. No matter bow we may have construed the platform when adopted or what our Individual views may have been there was not a Democrat throughout the length and breadth of the land who did not thoroughly-underatand that rover Cleveland stood for sound money.

Knowing this fact- woAL the Democratic nertv iidou the tirst ballot by more than a two-thirds vote nominated Grover Cleve land for Frestuent, and be was elected by the people by an unprecedented majority. 1 challenge any man in the world to show that Grover Cleveland has swerved one iota from the belief be was then known to hold or from the platform then adopted. Yet we find the convention assembled at Chicago turning its back upon rover Cleveland, turning its back upon the principles of the Democratic party, turning its back upon the theories of government nunciated by Jefferson and lookinar to Tillman, to Altgeld and to men of that character for counsel and advice. Why, I would not trust Mr. Bryan upon any platform to administer the affairs of the country.

Ira my long experience In Congress I gained some tnsignt into the danera surrounding the people. No National Convention of a great oarty has ever before nominated any other than a level-headed man (or tne nien and responsible office of President. While National Ceaveauoaa usuaiiy hav something of aa 1 emotional element In them, von win flnil tnat they have aiways made their nominations with caution. Never before has a man been nominated on the strength of a fifteen minutes' speech in which there can t- found nothing sound, nothing conservative, nothing wise. I do not believe the Intelligent American people will ever elevate to the responsible position of President any on mo Illogical, so so irresponsible.

(Cheers.) I have no fears about the result of this movement, but a little over a month ago tje tirst call was iasued for the conference that met In Chicago. Then all was chaos, r.ow there Is a compact organisation, determined to do what It can to save the L-uumry and to preserve the Democratic Party. In the that mli in thia city r.ext Wednesday practically every wlli represented. Two or three will not. Th committee endeavored to br.ng Nevada In, but could find nobody in Nevada but the two Senators and Congressman, and they all live In San Fran- nowever, they own silver mines Ira Nevada and make a good deal of noise there.

am not surprised that a good many men would like to read us out of the Democratic party. Th camp followers, the hangers-on. who hope to find their reward petty offlejy are ready to denounce us upon all occasions. We oar nothing for their denunciation. There is something loiuer in party patriotism than the hope of '-PP'auae.) our movement will purify our party and show it to the world party of principle.

Th Mayor. It may said at th out set, denies that has mad any such deaL He said to a reporter yesterday evening: "The newspapers do not treat ex-actly'falr about this matter. I have not had any conversation with any member or members of the Board of Aldermen while this trial was going on. Som of them cam to me and wanted to talk about th trial, but put them off.

I mads no deal with the Aldermen to secure the removal of the old Board of Safety, and I had nothing at all to do with th charges which were preferred against them. It wss stated in an after noon paper that I had sent other names to the Aldermen and they were reject ed. This is not true. The names I first sent In were confirmed. The charge that have gone over.

to th P. mad in th editorial department of th Times, Is not true." I suggested th names of th three members of the Board of Safe ty myself snd sent them Into the al dermanlc chamber." The Mayor Is given the benefit of the dental. CoL Albert Scott, who was a few days ago mentioned as a possible A. P. -A.

candidate for Mayor against Mr. Todd, was- in his office yesterday afternoon. The last tim CoL Scott wss ther before was when J4r. King was Acting Mayor. On that occasion Mayor Todd cam into his office in a great rag from th St.

Louis convention, and Mr. King snd CoL Scott got out la a hurry, his Honor refusing to speak to either of them. Th Mayor, it will be remembered, on that occasion said he would send King- to the penitentiary, and what he has said about CoL Scott on numerous occasions would All a small book, and the good words he spoke of him would not fill the flyleaf of a green primer. At present Mayor Todd is on good terms with both CoL Scott and Mr. King.

Mr. J. M. McKnight, of the German National Bank, who is credited with ha vins- a great deal of influence with the Big- Seven In th Board of Aldermen, Is now a frequent caller at the Mavor'a office. He was there on Wed nesday and had a long talk with him.

The Mayor and Mr. McKnight have had lunch together frequently of late. It will be rememoerea tnax tne present Mayor's friends denounced Mr. Mc-Kniirht at a meeting held in the Louis ville HoteL when Mr. McKnight was a candidate for Mayor against Mr.

Todd. Another caller upon the Mayor of late 1 Dick James, a prominent A. P. A. and also a- candidate for Mayor when Mr.

Todd was elected. It Is pointed out that on of the chief proof that Mayor Todd has gone over body and breeches to the A. P. A. is the rat that his Board of Safety Is composed exclusively of members of this order.

Mr. Searcy admitted not long ago to air. Frank CahllL a member of the Repub lican City and County Committee, that he wss a member of the order. Mr. Searcy told Mr.

CabiU that while he was a member ot tne oruer. woum willing to vote for a Catholic Republican like Mr. CabiU. The latter expressed surprise that Mr. Searcy would vote for a Catholic when his oath prevented him from so- doing.

Mr. Cahill will certify to the truth of this. Mr. Kvsnsrthe chairman of the new Board of Safety, was until lately a Democratic worker in the First ward, and George M. Crawford, the third member, was also a Democrat until the "patriotic orders were started.

when be went over to tne aide ot tne "reformers." Mayor Todd could hav given better satisfaction by appointing; members Ot tne oruer in greater auu- it-e. Messrs. Searcy. tjrawrora ana Ev ans are generally capsidered men of very ordinary capacity. Chairman Evans weighs cattle at tne stoca yarns ana Air.

Searcy runs a small hoteL Mr. Crawford la-connected in business with Chris Jen ne, whom the Mayor said recently ought to be eating hay Instead of being in a legislative body. As much as some people disliked the old Board of Safety the one appointed by Mayor Todd is already being- more severely criticised than the old one was. The appointments are not at all satisfactory to the rank and file of the A. P.

who demanded to have men on the board, who had better standing In the order and in the business community. It ia doubtful if this sop thrown out to the A. P. A. can give Mayor Todd control of the A.

f. a. vote in iui-ville. which be so much despised a few weeks sgo snd which he denounced when be was trying to beat Gov. Bradley.

The crowning proof tnat Mayor oaa has made a deal with the A. P. A. was furnished to the Courier-Journal by cne of the leading members of the order in Louisville. This person Is also a lead-In- Banublicaa and he says that whllo he does not wish to allow the use of his name he can substantiate -very word he says and will allow the nae of bis name If necessary.

He says further that he would not have given the thing away except for the reason that Mayor Todd Joined the order in violation ot the rules. His story Is that Mayor' Todd last week joined what. is known as the Business Men's Lodge' of the A. P. A.

When the Mayor Joined Councilman Jimmy conducts a fish stand in this city; Chris Jenne. who is an and Mr. R. E. King, who Is President of the Board of Aldermen.

The lights had been put out, and all of the business was over, and Todd was taken In secretly, all of those present being pledged not to say a word about It. even to their most intimate A. P.

A. friends. The Mayor, he says. Is now as much of an A. P.

A. as Chris Jenne or anybody else prominently connected with the order, even as much so as Mr. C. E. Sapp, who was his fellow-delegate to St.

Louis on the occasion of the Republican National Convention. The gentleman who gives this information to the Courier-Journal further says that Mayor Todd, two weeks ago last night, met Mr. J. H. McKnight and five Aldermen at a certain house and fixed up the.

deal whereby the Mayor was to become a member of the order, and for this he was to have ths support of these nv Aldermen. King and Jenne were present snd represented the Big Seven In tht Board of Aldermen. The gentleman who gave this information Is a person ot undoubted veracity and is well known In the community. When the Mayor was selling his stock In the Todd-Donlgan Company several weeks ago some of his Republican enemies told a reporter for this paper that he was then preparing to Join the A. P.

but this was not believed st the time, ss so many stories had been circulated about Mr. Todd by his enemies that this, like the others, was allowed to go by default. Mayor Todd has day In snd dsy out denounced the A. P. and they in turn hav denounced him.

This denunciation was frequent up to a few days ago. While the Mayor all along admitted that he belonged to the Junior Order of American Mechanics, he did not hesitate to avow the sentiment that he still believed the A. P. A. was wrong in proscribing Catholics for their religious belief.

He refused to be candidate for Senator on a ticket nominated by this crowd. It la hard to see how Mayor Todd can further deny hiajjonnection with the order. There is aTTme excuse for men of small caliber belonging- to an order of this kind and then denying It, but for a man who prides himself on being a descendant of the Revolutionary fathers sou who holds the highest position in the city. It looks very bad. Home of the Mayor's friends try to ex cuse him for appointing Searcy.

Crawford and Evans by saying that be could not help It; that It was forced on him by the Board of Aldermen, ana mat had his own wsy he would have ap pointed men of prominence in the com-tnunlt The Mayor himself is not well pleased over his appointments, his close friends say, ana tnat ne wouiu nreferred to have riven the places to others, but he was compelled to act on the spur of th moment- It must be very gaiitng to jnayor ima to know that Robert Kmmet King is virtually at th head of the city government, and not George D. Todd. Kvery appointment he makes will hav to go through King's nanas, ana ii a. Aldermen do not like it they can turn him rinwn. Many prominent oM-lin Republicans called at the City Hall yesterday to ask the Board of Safety- to stana nrm against Mavor Todd, as he had sold himself mtt to the new element of the party, and would no longer receive their support, tr.

Mr. toaa runs iur now tt la eonnaemiv oeiievea mu T.rob would beat him 5.000 votes. His appointments have satisfied nobody, not even himself, and If they are confirmed by the courts their subordinate appoint ments will create even grw uer aiseu- action. As a part of the deal ft la likely that Mayor Todd will to-night send to th Rn.nl of AMermea'tae nomination of young Mr. Lochner fovuy iuyer.

Especially might Alderman Waa ler's feelings need mollification, since some gallery heathen spat upon his bald head, while the comic farce known as the "Impeachment of the Board of Public Safety" was In progress.
