F 'tpFw7' 3 THE SCRANTON TRIBUjN1- MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1899. GATHERED IN SOUTH SCRANTON HENBY J. SPRTJKS HAS WITH DRAWN FROM THE RACE. Will Not Seek the Democratic Nom ination for Common Council in tho Ninotoonth Ward Caucus Will Probably Bo Hold Friday Night. Funoral of Mrs. Caroline Ridon bach from Her Lato Homo on South Washington Avenue Lieutenant of Police Zang Painfully Injured. To the numerous Interested ones who, through The Tribune, will learn this morning thnt Henry J. Spruks has' retired from the light for the Demo cratic nomination for common council in tho Nineteenth ward, the news will be a complete surprise. This decision was reached at a meeting held yester day afternoon at the olllce, on Alder street, of Spruks Bros., the contractors. It has been an open secret since Satur day night a week ago, when an at tempt was made to hold a nnap caucus at Cavanaugh's hall, on River street, that there Is disruption among tho free silver forces, and each succeeding day the gap was widening. The ward cau cus of the Republicans of that ward, held at Kramer's hall, Friday night last, set the Democratic leaders flgur lng. To that night they counted upon a big battle among the Republicans, and when It was made known that the moat perfect good feeling prevailed, and every action was unanimous at the meeting, these facts caused a se vere chill. The wise ones of the Demo crats, realizing tho position which con fronted them, hurriedly summoned the leaders to meet yesterday. Present at tho meeting were: P. J. Hlckey, S. S. Spruks, Edward J. Coleman, Andrew Conway, Thomas ICclley, Charles Graf, Michael McGulre, Henry Spruits, Ed win Frable and others within the party council. The argument used whv Mr. Spruks should retire was that It Is an unwritten custom In the party that for councllmanlc honors the German and Irish, who arc the majority of voters in that ward, be given equal consider ation. The present select councilman, Ed win Frable, being a German, It was ald that the nominee for common council should be an Irishman. For that reason Mr. Spruks dropped out. "When seen at his residence last night, on Prospect avenue, by a. Tribune man, he said: "I retired from the light to prevent disruption and promote harmony In the party's ranks. Thomas II. Kelley.whom 1 quit in favor of, will, In my opinion, lie a strong candidate. I am glad that I am out of the light." It was decided at the meeting. If ward committeeman Attorney John J. Murphy will agree to it, to hold the caucus Friday night at Knoll's saloon, on CProspect avenue, between the hours of 4 and 7 o'clock. Thomas' II. Kelly, who Is now In the lead for the nomi nation.
