POLITICAL PATS.
Stray Notes from the Campaigns.
RumOrs and GOssiR.

c. H. Baxter, the well-known lawyer, doesn't
deny the soft impeachment that he viii allow
the alGermanic mantle 10 settle down upon
his shoulders provided the wind blows it his
way. Mr.. Baxter is an intelligent, conserva-
tive Democrat, who has identified himself
with most or the efforts to obtain public i'm
provements in the Third ward during the past
three years. He is also foe to exclusive
franchises, and possesses other qualifications
essential for good alderman.
Il attended the me citing of the Germans in
the First ward on Sunday. Or, rather. was
at Germania hall but no meeting was held.
1t was agreed that the meeting will be held
Thursday night. Therefore, it is an eyre
grious error TO say that kavanaugh was de-
clared the choice Of the Germans of the ward
for alderman. / know whereof speak when
1 say he is not the candidate" The above
was said by prominent First warder yes
terday.
Already 1t has been printed in a Republican
organ that Mayor Camp has purchased a $500
dog" Whether il is considered one Of the
necessary adjuncts 10 the Office or not does
not develop, but ii has been intimated that IL
is not wise to count chickens before they are
Matched. II is not mayor yet, but plain,
everyday major.
The Democratic caucuses occur on Satur-
day night and some of the official calls appear
this morning. The Third ward VIII go TO
Turner hall. the Sixth to Holy Rosary hall and
the Seventh TO No. 2436 Twenty-fifth avenue
south. Chairmen of the other ward COM
mittees should send in their notices at once.
A great many citizens OF the Seventh ward
say: ''Sergt. Smiths reply to Auditor Nc
Donald is too thin, as we can show III il be-
comes necessary, and the inspector had bet
ter let it drop" So again Inspector Smith is
put upon the defensive.
The Republican candidate for mayor will
either read Sly, Clark or Camp. OF the three,
the first stands by all odds the best show for
the nomination. He is the best known and
the best liked by everybody who knows him.
A rousing Democratic meeting will be held
on Friday evening in the Seventh ward at
2436 Twenty-fifth avenue south. Prominent
speakers will be in attendance and every
Democrat in the ward should be present.
1t has been reported that Cornelius Line
han is running for alderman i'm the First ward
at the instance of Aid. Comstock, in the VAN
hope that he will draw OF votes from the reg
ular Democratic candidate.
The workingmen of the Seventh ward will
hold a caucus for the purpose of nominating
candidate for alderman, in the cooper shop,
No. 2423 Fort avenue, Saturday evening at
1880 O'Clock.
The committee in charge Of the aldermanic
campaign of o. p. Flatten, in the Seventh,
has arranged for meeting tonight at Libby
hall, corner of Lake street and Minnehaha
avenue.
n OGAnOSiabAS hiCCAluE VIII NC hblO luis
evening at Ecklunds hail, 2sO4 Twenty-sixth
street south. Able speakers will be in attend
ance.
DIR. A. A. Ames will address the liberal
Political league this evening at the corner OF
Franklin and Twenty-fourth avenues south.
Happy Second ward. In all of this political
/ uproar and confusion it passes serenely
along without excitement or disturbance.
! 1t is quite possible that Mr.. Shadrick has
! become acqusinted with the meaning of the
| phrase, ''dull, sickening thud.'
N. w. King, Joseph McGregor and Tom
West are the Democratic committee OF the
! Seventh ward.
Muldoon has been won over to Hicks in the
Sixth ward. But the fight is just as bitter as
/ ever.
