THE CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL.

In the Seventh Ward there arc no Democra-
tic nominations for Council, the candidates being
VIM. NJ Candy and Col. A. II. Grimshaw on the
Citizens Reform ticket, and Joseph Il. Phillips
and NJ. l.. Ichtenstein on the Republican,
In the 10th Ward, Lewis p. Lynch, present
member, is the Democratic candidate for ie-elec-
ton, and two Republican meetings have each
nominated candidates the first p. II. Peterson,
and the other Danl. F. Stewart. The contest
will therefore be triangular.
In the First Ward, Thomas Johnson now oc-
cupies seat in Council, having been elected
thereto by that body to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Wm. l.. Gilbert, Dem. In
the Second Ward II. b. McIntire. the Third,
August Bickta, and the Fourth, James Il. Hayes
are the present members, all Democrats, and in
the Fifth, and Ninth William Candy and Jos. G.
File are renominated by the Republicans. VIII

is also member at present, and likewise the
candidate opposed to him, Joseph X. Phillips.
or the other candidates, Ralph Mccall, and NJ.
l.. Lichtenstein have previously served III Coun-
Gil, ond the remainder, we believe, have not.
From present prospects, there will be an ami
mated contest in nearly every ward of the city,
and the result is liable to be ''mixed." The gem
eral disposition not to complicate State issues
with local differences to city affairs will have
the effect OF making the result no indication Of
the vote in November. No one doubts that there
is large Republican majority in the city, but
the several phases which the contest for MEM
bers Of Council has assumed prevent strict
party test, and even the vote for Assessors will
| hardly be fair standard for Judgment.
ELECTION RuMoRs AND FALsEHooD,
The usual crop of election cdnards has been
sprngng up, within few days. Among them was
one, issued in the Republican OF SAT lrday, to
the effect that the friends of Messis Candy and
| Grimshaw, in the Seventh Ward had agreed with
the Democrats that those gentlemen, when elect
ed to Council, should "yote on all party ques-
items, especially in eecting all the City officers,
| with the Democrats We ARE able to state that
this is a lie out of the whcle cloth, there being
no such agreement whatever. The Citizens
| Reform ticket for Council in the Seventh Ward
will receive Democratic support simply because
it is considered ''anti Ring. 1t ia true, how
ever, that committee Of three persons, whose
names we have, all being supporters OF Phillips
and Lichtenstein, went o Thos. ]. Bowen, the
| Democratic candidate for Assessor. on Friday
| evening" and besought linn to use his influence
| to have Democrats vote for Phillips and Lichten-
stein, promising. if he wonid do that, to give
| him all the Republican votes they could control
in the 9th and 9Th wards. thus "selling out" Pro-
vost, the Republican candidate for Assessor. An
| overture OF the same sort was made to Bowen,
on the previous evening by one Of the same
| party.
These facts show who is guilty of what the
Republican calls Treason
