frienda in the Second Aldermanic District

Some of Police Commissioner Buckley's
friends in the lower portion of the First
District, who profess to be anxious to see
him returned, are not acting in manner
calculated to bring about that result.

politicians in the First District. He is de-
sirogs of having his friend, Police Commits

right way about it.

The Democrats have a good chance of
carrying the Third District this spring.
The Republicans are hopelessly divided.
William Clark, whom the citizens have
nominated for Freebooter in the First Dis
trict, has not yet decided whether or not
to accept the nomination.
The delegates to the Second District

between Charles Maxwell and Michael
Hennessey.

ton.
Two years ago 'Bob" Davis was one of
Police Commissioner Buckley's warmest
supporters, and did more than any other
one man to secure his nomination. Now
Mr.. Buckeyes friends, without the latter
consent, however, are doing all they can
to defeat Davis out Of the Aldermanic NOM
nation.
Lawrence Fullam and Michael J. Nc
Mahon are seeking the regular nomination
fer School Director in the Second District
As Mcmahon supported Blaine for Presi-
dent he is likely to get left.
The Republicans of the First District are
talking of nominating Counsellor Parmley
for Alderman, John Parker for Police Com
missioner and Druggist Moore for School
Director.
1t is said that Harry Powell claims to
have majority of the Fourth District
Democratic delegates for Police Commits
sioner. Eddy O'Donnell can carry the
district, and will probably be nominated
in spite of Powell's boast

ton will meet next Saturday.
