LOCAL POLITICS.

The f)utrofnn Aldermen, and Those
1yno Hope to Succeed Them.
As the time for holding the Aldermanic
election approaches the interest in it in
creases, The wards are already alive with
candidates, and the groceries are being III
dustriolsly canvassed, and, as usual, each
candidate has some special reason to present
whv he should be elected over his fellow
candidates. So fur very little party feeling
has been manifested, and the Indications are
that politics will cut small figure In the cam
vaSS.
Reviewing the situation by wards, and ir-
respective Of party lines, 1t appears that
there are about dozen applicants for each
seat to be vacated, if all the names men
toned in connection with the office are to be
counted. All OF the names cannot be given,
however, but in the list appended only such
are used as are believed to be actually OF
conditionally in the field.
SOUTH SIDE.
In the First Ward, AID Wickersham re-
tires. while Frank Warren, S. ". Parker,
Jr,. and S. R. Keough are ready to step into
his shoes. 1t is believed that Wickersham
can be reelected If he tries to, but the indi-
cations are that he will not, which leaves the
field open to some OF the others.
In the Second Ward, Aid. Sanders is very
anyious to be his own successor, and is meet
ing with but little opposition. Abr;lhams
would like his place. and so would several
others, but none of them are making can
In the Third Ward, Aid. Phelps retires,
and. since there will be very little Of politics
in the election, it is Thought thdt ne can come
back if he desires to. He occupies the pecu-
liar position of having been elected as q
lis official life has so lioeralized Him that he
NAV be said now to be without party. This
would be against him in a partisan campaign,
but in this case it is not believed that 1t WILL
be, especially since he has given such gen. e n
eral satisfaction to all parties. 80 tar ne mas
no active opponent.
In the Fourth Ward, Aid. Mallory promises
to be his own successor. He is popular, has
made good officer, and, living among peo'
pie who have no particular ambition TO SIT IN
the Council, he can be returned by simply
consenting to pull OH his coat anu go 1e
In the Fifth Ward, AID. Turner's place Is te
