THE SEVERAL wARDs-NAMEs cANvAssED, ETC.
The nominations of the Republicans for Coun-
Gil will be made in several Wards of the City on
Saturday. but there has yet been very little no.
tice given in regard to them. In the Seventh
Ward, the formal notice by the Vice President
of the City Committee for that Ward, NJ. b.
Stotsenburg, was published yesterday, an
nouncng that the nomination will be held
on Saturday, from 3 o'clock until Z,
at the old school-house, on Orange ST., above
12th-the usual place of holding Republican
nominations
In relation to the proposed nominations in
the Seventh Ward, there appears to be some
difference of opinion. The case is represented
to stand thus Representations have been made
by Captain Gallagher Mr. Pickels, and others
that they would not oppose William NJ. Candy Is
renominaton the former having written a strong
letter to personal friend of Mr.. Candy, recent
ly, saying SO, and declaring his expectation land
desire that Mr.. c. should be returned to Coun-
Gil. 1t is now, however, insisted by the Water
| Department party that if they consent to Mr..
| CARLY. those in favor of him must support Mr..
Joseph X. Phillips. No such condition had
| been proposed uutil quite lately, and there il n
strong feeling in the Ward in favor OF new
man in Mr.. fhillips's place, MIR. Charles W..
Talley being proposed by many 1t has been
suggested that there being an alleged willing
ness on both sides to nominate Candy, the selec-
tion for the other term should be left to the
nomination vote, 80 that the people might ex-
press their preferences but this the Water De-
partment party are said to be unwilling to do,
demanding Phillips if they agree to Candy.
