Arrangements for "a Seventh Ward
WOrkiugmen's Caucus.

An enthusiastic meeting was held last
evening in the Seventh ward by the work
ingmen Of that section. It's object was 10
appoint time and place for a caucus to
nominate an alderman for the ward who
would represent the wOrkingmen in the city
council. James WheelOck was elected
chairman and made few remarks relative
to the interests of the workingmen. Mr..
Libbens was elected secretary. The first
speaker called was Mr.. Conner. who dwelt
briefly on the oppression of the workingmen
and stated that now was their opportunity to
deliver themselves from bondage by sup
porting and electing foralderman their own
candidate. The other speakers of the
evening were Messrs. Proctor, Clancy,
Gage, Wright, Turner. Allen and Newell,
who were strongly in favor of placing a
workingman's ticket in the field, nOmi-
mating a man for alderman whose sympa-
thieS were with the wOrllingmen and who
opposed contract work, convict labor and
was in favor of the eight-hOur law. The
speakers We're somewhat harraSSed and
hampered by a small mob whose cry Of
rats" materially disturbed the equilibrium
of the orators. but with the aid of the chair
man, they expressed their sentiments and
delivered their speeches. The motion made
day, at the corner of Seventeenth avenue
and Twenty seventh street was amended
to make the date next Saturday even ng.
as the Republican and Democratic caucuses
are to be held at that time, and in this
event, it would keep the wire pullers from
packing the workngmen's convention.
After considerable debate the amendment
was carried and the meeting adjourned.
Is Bailey Political RTentOrl
A. NJ. Bailey was early initiated into the
deepest mysteries of politics. 1t has been
said that even before he reached his ma
iOrity he made no bones of Boosting of the
number of Republican ballots he carried in
his vest pocket. Parenthetcally it should
be remarked, however, in justice to that
party that on pretty good authority the
truthfulness of the same has been denied.
Yet he is a factor in the young mems ranks.
He now poses as the champion Of the move
ment to force Mayor Pillsbury into con-
senting to allow his name to go before the
nominating convention. and Mr.. Bailey has
even gone so far as to delegate himself
as envoy extraordinary from his faction tC
wait upon the mayor. Indeed, he sue
ceeded in securing an interview with his
honor which lasted all the afternoon. But.
judging from his dOwncast countenance as
he took his leave, he accomplished no more
than Mr.. Blakely did in his colossal effort
to the same purpOrt few weeks before.
Yet the perSiStency of the young enthusiast
may possibly be construed to his credit, for
after Mayor Pillsbury had repeatedly told
him that he should not accept a nomination,
the following paragraph appears in the
Journal:
Il never mix mp in political fights" SAID
A. NJ. Bailey, with a peculiar wink of the
left optic, ''but let me tell you Mayor Pills
bury will be the unanimous choice of the
convention, and such being the case thinl
he will accept"
How Boom Meetings Are Held.
Said Seventh ward Democrat yesterday
$50 my positive knowledge the report tha
A. j. Noerenberg had withdrawn from the
aldermanic canvass is fabrication. Aid
Noerenberg has promised his friends to run
again, and a majority of his constituent
are In favor of returning him. 1t is very
like that case reported about largely
attended meeting held TO boom Bob Clancey
for the nomination. l know that there
were only eight men at that meeting
whereas 1t was reported there were ovel
eighty. But there is no danger that ClanceN
will get the nomination"
Political Points.
And now the little Ethiopian's head
cOmeth out from under the wood pile. II
was known several days since that Aid.
Lawrence had been inquiring as to the
rental of the skating rink on Ncollet ave.
nue., near the Hastings " Dakota crossing.
The statement is being circulated i'm the
Eighth ward that other reports to the con.
trary, but one Republican caucus will b,
held, and that at the rink. Lawrence's adj
berents, however. are being quietly in
formed that precinct caucuses will be held
neither of them at the rink. Why are
these things thus?
1.-The world do move" Erstwhile ther
were few Democrats in the Eighth ward
but latterly it has become a veritabl
Mecca. Last summer Ed A. Stevens 10
Gated there. Soon afterwards Doc Anne
there took up his abode. Orville Rinehart
the young DemOsthenes, will move in mex
week, and it is understood that Col. Glenn
was yesterday looking up site for new
residence. Now if Dick Huntington, Mat
Walsh and Herman Westpal will move il
the ward may become RELIABLY Denie
