THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE FOR MAYOR,
bic and hurry of to help manipulate the
Democratic caucuseS. The result Is that
thus far not the slightest Indication is given
OF the choice OF the party for mayor,
unless it be that the gentleman pictured
here is the unanimous selection. With
aldermen 1t was precisely the same way.
Split up into precincts and awaiting the de-
cisiOn of their leaders, the delegates for
the most part knew nothing and rejOiced
in IT, Everything is left TO the convention
on Tuesday, and i'm the meantime the
Union league and other Republican orders
will ''see" the delegates and an understand
ing will be reached. As far as individual
conclusion could be reached every gentle
man yet mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination has friends among
the delegates chosen. but under the gentle
influence of the leaders sentiment will be
crystalliZed in favor the accepted men be-
fore Tuesday. The following detailed re-
port of the caucuses carries its own story:
