THE CHARTER ELECTION.
Special Correspondence Of The Tribune.
MILWAUKEE, March 8.-Four weeks from
next Tuesday the ANNUAL charter election will
occu1. Yet one hears very little talk concerning
it, and it is impossible to discover any stir in
political circles with reference thereto. This in
difference may be partially attributable to the
fact that only Aldermen and Supervisors are to
be chosen, the city officers being elected hien-
nialiy. There is reason for the belief that in
some portions Of the city party lines will not
be drawn closely because Of the existence OF
outside Issues, created during the recent brief
term Of Acting Mayor Hobart. The principal
one of these issues is the attempt to secure the
passage Of an ordinance requiring all saloons to
be closed at midnight. a large majority Of
Germans, regardless OF politics, arc known to be
opposed to this measure, and. as they regard
it as the stepping-stone to other and more
stringent restrictive measures on the part Of
temperance agitators, party mar be cschewed ia
an effort to secure the election OF candidates
with pronounced opinions on the subject. In
such cases a Peoples ticket may be run as the ]
most expedient manner OF gaining the desired |
object. Then the coming State election pre-
sents strong reason Why party INES should oe

party managers TO adhere to political lines as
closely IS possible for this reason alone, and
any diversion from the programme laid down
BY them will be occasioncd entirely BY The
