The action of the Association throws
doubt upon what is to be done
the future by the Citizens. The District
Committees were directed to talk the NOM
nations over by themselves, but it does
not appear that they are ever to be pre-
sented for endorsement by the Association
as a whole.
ssThe fact is" said prominent member
of the Citizens Association yesterday,
''the whole thing is movement on the
part of Paugborn and other railroad
members of the Association to break up the
Association. The Association has taken
no action upon Senate No. % formally,
but, as whole, it is irrevocably opposed
to that scheme of legislation. These fell
lows fear that the Association will make it's
power felt in opposition to the railroads
They cannot manage it in the interest of
the corporations, whose apologists they
are, and they want to break it up. How
are they doing it? Why by the character
of their nominations. They endorse Re-
publicans in Democratic districts, and De-
mocrats in Republican districts, and the
defeat of their whole ticket will SO weaken
them that they will amount to nothing in
future contests"
In other respects the aspect of local af-
fairs has not changed materially since
last Sunday. In the first district Harvey
Marsh has Withdrawn from the Police
Commissioner contest in favor of Buckley.
The Republicans talk of nominating Ran
dolph Parmley for Alderman, Billy Mes
stead for Freeholders.
Tn ha third diofriof 10 c.o;d fbof kbo o,,k,
and ms have made combination on the
basis of on "out" for Fire Commissioner
in place of Leather, and an s'in" for Police
The ticket on that basis will leave Van
Ripper in the Police Board, and knock
"Tommy" Leather out of the Fire Board
with Dan Shea Alderman Abernethy will
be renominated. He has made an ex-
cellent Alderman and his election is as
sured. Harry Crawford will be nominated
for Constable. Crawford seems to have
been made for the place. The Freeholders
will be McGinnis, the present incumbent,
and probably Charley Stelton. The Dem
ocrats think of nominating Dominiek Reh-
berger for the Police Board, and Billy
Howeth for the Fire Board.
In the Fifth District Windecker will be
renominated for Fire Commissioner and
knock Captain Mills out in the handsomest
style. 'sBen" Van Keuren does not want
to be renominated for Board of Works,
but it remains to be seen who will be
nominated. Dick Brown and Charley Laws
are talked of. Joseph A. Dear and Ro-
maine are candidates for Bead of Eduea-
ton.
The resolutions offered by DIR. McGill
and adopted by the City Committee week
ago have occasioned much talk, They de-
clare against one man power or corporation
rule. and resolve that the County Commit
tee will refuse to endorse the candidacy of
any man who is not strict and steadfast in
his allegiance to party and regularly nomi-
mated by Democratic Convention, and
who will not pledge himself to act strictly
in all political matters with his party, and
favor the bringing of 'fcertain notorious
apostates to speedy punishment" as exam
pies.
