The meeting ot the democratic city cen
tral committee scorned to bo not so much
a meeting to fix the dates of convention
nnd primaries as to exercise the demo
cratic propensity for a family disturbance , j
It developed .1 Bharp , but by no moans abort
nnd decisive , conflict between the adherents
of the respective democratic clubs for con
trol of the party machinery. It had been
known that this conlllct was Impending ,
but tlio members of the Jackaanlan club
had figured on having some twenty-four
members out of the twenty-seven on the
committee. In this they \\rro doomed to
ultimate nnd humiliating disappointment.
The meeting occurred at the rooms of
the Douglas county democracy. Walter
Molgo presided. When he asked that the
"roll bo called trouble began at once. Hardly
had the secretary called the first name In
the First ward delegation when John
Sheehan , one of the cnmmlttccmon from
that ward , objected vehemently to the name
called and kept on objecting until Chair
man Molso Invited all nonmcmbers to re-
tiro. AH the last spectator left the room
the door closed upon a seething bedlam.
For nearly half an hour the roar of angry
voices emanating from the room was sug
gestive ot a beef Issue at a wild animal
show.
It was found that 11 number of men had
been made members of the committee of
whoso membership the confident JacUsonlnns
had never dreamed. In the first ward h.
W. Dongrcss , Frank rixn nnd John Sheehan
hud been made commlttcomen at the last
regular city convention. Afterward Flxa
and Dongrcss had moved out of the ward
nnd ChrlB Albrccht and John W Hroch
had been acting aa commlttcemcn In their
stead. Wl'cn the roll was called Saturday
o\cnlng John Urcxcl appeared thereon as
a member of the committee from that ward
and Owen Slnvln was present with a proxy
flora Flxa. It was claimed by the Jackson-
latis that Walter Molse had appointed
IJrexcl himself , to the prejudice of either
Albrccht or Hroch , but later the minute *
of a meeting were produced , showing that
when Charles II Sherman had declined the
nomination for member of the Board ot
Education last fall a call had been Issued
for a meeting of the city committee , at
which Drexcl had been elected a member
In place of Flxa.
At the same meeting Louie Plattl nnd
George Holmes had been elected members
from thp Fourth ward , Instead of Dr. Hippie ,
who had removed to the Ninth ward , and
Dan D. Honln , who had loft the city.
In the Fifth ward Peter Hemackle and
Joe Cross had been elected to succeed Pred
II , Cosgrovc , who hail removed from the
ard and moved baik ngaln , and JanKS
erguson , vvlu had left the ward
In the Seventh ward J. T. Hvans hnd '
timed his prcxy o\er to one Berry men , win
had In turn given It to J J O'Connor and |
the latter wn present to vote It
Coinilj Ilpiiineriip ; In ( lie smiillc.
The result of all of these substitution"
was that the county democracy was In ths ]
saddle. The Hcrdmnn crowd contended that' '
the minutes of the allege 1 meeting had.
been fixed up to IK the occasion , and attsr ]
nearly an hour of futile wrangling I.co
Hcrdmnn was allowed to name a committee
on credentials.
The fight betwrpn the two factions look
the term of n contest over the loitlon of
the primaries In the respective wardi. It
was contended by the county democracy
that the Hordman crowd had always had
the primaries located at points vvhtro their
cohorts could bo marshaled to do their bid
ding , while their opponents were at n dis
advantage. Especially was It claimed that
In th" Second ward the Ilerdman bo > s had
gained and retained their supremacy by
having the primary located at Fourteenth
nnd William streets , In one corner of the
ward , where they were able to operate upon
the Bohemian vote through Adam Sloup , a j
saloonkeeper In th.it aectlon The county
democracy wanted to tear the primary away
from that location and place It elsewhcrf
The committee took n ro'css while the
committee on credentials , comprising Pat
Heafy , Louie Plattl , J F Hopper , Mark
Goad nnd John Hart , carrlc-d on the light la
an antc-tcom. The result cf Its dollbciatlons
vas that the members alleged to ha\o been
appointed at the fall meeting were found
entitled to seats. This meant the ousting ot
Hroch , Flxa and Albrccht from the First
ward. Owen Slavlti's prrxy from Plxa was
thrown out This left Sheehan and Drexcl
to represent the ward and a vacancy which
was not filled Ir Hippie was ousted from
the Fourth ward and Plattl and Holmes wcto
Heatrd. Fred Cosgrove was fired out from
the Fifth and Cross and Uemackle seated.
J. J. O'Connor was allowed to remain cu
his proxy.
Plr | | n Compromise.
Just as the committee concluded Its labors
Leo Hcrdman and Charley Fanning fixed up
n resolution as n compromise on the ques
tion of locating the primaries It provided
that the city convention shall be hold Fcb-
ruarj 10 nnd the primaries two days earlier
and that In case there was a contro\eisj In
n ward over the location cf a primary It
should be referred to the whole committee ,
which should locate at some neutral point
as near the center of the ward as possible
Piattl was leading the fight on locations ot
primaries. lie accepted this resolution and
allowed It to pass without noticing that by
Its provisions there must first Le a con
troversy In the ward. When It came to the
Second ward ho found that there was no
controversy , as the commltteemcn were all
of Lee Herdman's mind , and when Plattl
started a rebellion ho was sot upon , so that
the Second ward primary was located at
the same old Herdiiinn corner. In nearly
I every other ward the location was changed
by a vote of thirteen County Democracy men
to ten Jucksorclans.
1 The dates above mentioned were adopted
I and the committee took n recess until Jan
uary 23 to finish up certain matters neccs-
I sary for compliance with the primary law.
The fight that was raging In the committee
rooms overflowed Into the adjoining rooms

Is considered a good man. Some republic
ans question his nbllltj as a vote getter.

up his lucrative practice to accept a position

The directors of the Commercial club ap
pointed a committee Friday night to confer
with the Omaha Commercial club In relation
to the paving of Vlnton street It Is greatly
desired that this street bo paved and it is
thought that by working In conjunction
with the Omaha authorities that some re
sults may bo obtained. Another thing the
club wants Is a viaduct across the Union
Pacific Hacks from U street to the Hock
Ihland depot. At present there Is no way
of getting to the Ilock Island station with
out going around by JefTeison street. A
viaduct will shorten the distance greatly
and bo of great benefit to business men and
