First ward was held last evening to consider
the best means of smoothing over the dis
satisfaction that has arisen over the cam
didacy of George w. Elwell. After long
discussion it was decided to nominate an
other candidate, the choice of the meeting
falling on A. Simpson, Well-knoWn cltl-
zen of the ward, who has been engaged III
the grocery business for several years Inc
meeting passed resolution requesting the
withdrawal of Mr.. Elwell as a candidate
for that district. A committee was APP
pointed to urge on Elwell the propriety OF
withdrawing.

1.-The Pioneer Press, with its vaunted en-
terlHise," said an observing politician yes
terday, lis in advance of all the other pa
pers in explaining what, in its notion, IS tne
cause of the Republican defeat. Gamblers
and police is its cry and the harp it is tun-
ing up to play on after election. The only
gamblers Eve seen working politically were
headed by Johnny Sloan, and they are
working for the Republican ticket; and
the cry of police is evidently occasioned by
the arrest of Hanley, who was run in for
attempting to commit a dirty crime While
under the influence of liquor purchased by
Republican campaign money.

Republicans are growing uncertain about
the real attitude of their candidate Tor
mayor on the high license question, which
is one of the main issues of that party. MI.
Merriam has plain and uneQuivocal nigh
license record. but is now actively engaged
in visiting saloOn-keepers and assuring them
that he is not favorable to high license ana
that he does not intend to interfere with
the saloons keeping open on Sunday.
