There was something doing in Second ward last night when the Democrats thee held their ward caucus in the office of Doctor Taylor on East Sixth street. It was rumored early in the evening that there would be an interesting session and that the caucus would go in favor of Charles Holliday, who was at one time a Democrat and who is now holding a seat in the city council as a Republican. The rumor was to the effect that Mr. Holliday had captured the Democratic people from the Second ward and that he (yould have his henchmen bring out no cine for councilman on the Democratic ticket, So that he could have a clean sweep. If the Democrats did not make nomination against him, this would show that Mr.

Holliday was the "King Pin" in the Second ward. Mr. Griley, who is a member of the council from the Second ward, was chairman of the meeting. It looked as though there would be no trouble in the Holliday forces controlling the caucus. Mr.

Roth got up and he made a motion that there should be no nomination made from the Second ward for councilman. He got a second, and then Mr. Griley asked for remarks. L. M.

Penwell said that it had been Impossible to get a man in the Second ward who would make the race against Mr. Holliday. He said that it would cost $2,000 to make the race in that ward if the Democrats expected to win. It looked as though the job which had been put up would go through but at the right minute. just as it appears on the stage, Mike Heery came in.

He threw open the door and after listening to the talk for a short time he broke in. He was mad. There are few people who have seen Mike Heery out of temper, but his face lost that smile that would not come off when he addressed the chairman. "Do I understand that there are no Democrats that will take the nomination for councilman from the Second ward?" he said. And he said it so slowly that every one had a chance to think before there was an answer made.

"I know that there are men in the Second ward who will take the nomination. We are not for Charley Holliday but we are for a Democrat. I can not understands why Democrats should be for a Republican. We are here to nominate a Democrat and we will do it if I have anything to say about the matter Further, I want to say that there is a conspiracy among some of the politicians to thwart the workings of justice. We do not want the Democratic party to stand for any of this business.

We have been accused of standing by the whisky people and the accusation has been wrong. The Democrats are not standing for the violation of the law and we want to make that plain in the platform which we will adopt at the next convention. There are more decent men, proportionately, in the Democratic party in the in this county today than there are party. We are not conRepublican trolled by any beer grafting crowd. The Democrats of this county are the only people who have clean skirts.

I insist that we send men to the county convention who are not controlled by this gang which evidently has charge of the counRepublican politics. I want to call ty your attention to the fact that you must name at the county convention men who will not be in sympathy with the RepubI want especially to call lican grafters. attention to the nominations which your should be made for county attorney and for sheriff. These are the offices which are pre-eminent in the work of closing the joints. After Mr.

Heery had made his talk the friends of Mr. Holliday withdrew. their motion and it was decided that there be a meeting of the Second ward should delegates next Friday to select a man for Democratic ticket for councilman and the the school board. It might be noticed for here that the Democrats who wanted right Holliday to have a clear field were Mr. turned down.

They would have succeeded if it had not been for Mike Heery. The delegates to the county convention selected in some of the wards and were the matter was delayed for a few in one days. In the First ward the candidate for councilman on the Democratic ticket will be N. D. Arnold.

For the senool board, C. Neiswanger. The Second ward will 0. do nothing until next Friday in the way of making city nominations. The Third ward nominated H.

Offenman for the council and H. C. Frasier for the school board. In the Fourth ward W. H.

Kemper was nominated for councilman and S. E. Barber was named for member of the school board. In the Fifth ward P. J.
