 The question is frequently asked, ''Who will the Republicans put up for mayor?' That is conundrum. The most prominent names now and for several days past men | toned are Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., and 1 General Frank D. Sloat The former is at 1 present an alderman from the First ward, having served one year and having another year to serve and his experience with city l government matters is therefore consider l able, while he has held many other offices 1 of trust. He last evening reelected secretary of the New Haven Colony Histori- cal society and is the author of various valuable papers on New Haven's maritime interests and is thoroughly conversant with the city's history, while a member of long noted and prominent ship ping firm he has had ample business experi- ence.

R., as controller of the State and as Su- preme Dictator of the Knights of Honor of the United States. The name of Henry G. Lewis is also mentioned in view of a possible contingency.

For councilmen from the First ward the names of Dr. Beckwith ard Geo. B. Martin, manager of the Empire and New England Transportation Go, ,are mentioned in | prominent circles. In the Eighth Council man Rutherford Trowbridge will probably be ! placed at the head of the ticket for council men, and Councilman Graves of hthe Eighth will receive the nomination for aldermanic honors.
