AFTER THE BATTLE.
Views Obtained After the Caucus
SmOke Has Drifted.

The Democratic battle of Saturday night
was 1iercely waged on the aldermanic tick
cts in the various wards. but was rather too
presided on the mayoralty to be styled
fierce. DR.. AmeS swept the city fore and
ait. and the result, while it gives general
satisfaction to the party, was received with
iiSmay by the Republicans. The papers of
hat party in their wild anxiety to help
Aid. Morse to the nomination and defeat
him at the polls, Overdid the matter and
helped his opponent, whom they knew was
the stronger man. The Morse partisans
are disposed to view the result philosophi-
eally, and, acknowledging the fair canvass
made by the Ames men, will go in 10 carry
the ticket TO victory. AmeS seems on the
high crest of his Old-time wave of popu-
larity. and Tor the past month it was evil
dent that enthusiasm Tor his candidacy was
on the increase and would easily land him
at the head OF the ticket. And 50 it has.
But the aldermanic contests were waged
with all the yigOr, energy and vitality for
which the party is noted. Some of them
were left unsettled, as in the First, Second.
Sixth and Eighth wards. In the First the
indications point strongly to the selection
Of 4. J. L'Herault, the candidate of the
French. who was largely ahead when the
caucus adjourned. In the Second ward it
Is conceded Democratic chances are very
low. and the nomination of a candidate was
postponed. Capt. w. H. Mills of the
Third, L. b. Clement Of the Fourth, Alonzo
Philips of the Fifth and T. p. Dwyer of
he Seventh, nominated for aldermen in
their respective wards, are all well-known
and prominent Democrats, and will lend
ytreng tn to the ticket. In the Sixth the
situation is unchanged having not devel-
Dped in the least on Saturday night. The
Democrats are waiting in the Eighth for the
mti-Lawrence sentiment to crystalize in an
independent candidate, whom they will sup
port.
TIE REPUBLICANS.
1t became evident yesterday that Maj.
George a. Camp was the large favorite for
for mayor of the delegates-elect. He is not
the choice of the party leaders" but he is
Df the young members. and young blood is
this year Overturning the ''brans of the
party" The young men like the bluff.
CHEEKY old weather falslier, and will go in
to nominate him. Friends Of the other can
didates. notably those OF Aid. Sly, were en-
gagged all day yesterday in bulldozing the
delegates and fixing them, and it was.
on this account, field day for those saloons
which enjoy the royal favor of this model
administration.
As for the aldermen, from what can be
CLEANED through the precinct system. the
present Republican incumbents will be re-
nominated. COmstock in the First. John
son in the Second and Cole in the Fourth
had no opposition. IT looks as though
Cutter would be floOred in the Fifth by c.
d. Hammond. c. c. Richardson will evil
IDENTIFY be nominated in the Sixth, and
though Albert Lawrence pulled through in
the Eighth, his election in that Republican
Beulah Land is by no means a certain
fact.
For comptroller, Capt. P. P. Swenson
will doubtless be chosen by the Democrats,
while Samuel GOodnow has no opposition.
Sly or NettIetOn.
W. w. Sly's boom is not dead yet The
nossbacks and Puritanical fanatics of the
Republican party are pronounced in their
opposition, and have apparently fl xed the
Republican press against him, but the Re
publican working men and the liberal and
progressive elements Of the party are fear
less in their declarations that they will sup
port him. The report so thoroughly circu-
.ated just prior to the primaries on Satur-
Jay night that Mayor Pillsbury had decided
TO again go before the people for an indorse-
ment was truly shrewd trick TO head off
Aid. Sly, and had it not been for that fact
Mr.. Sly would have carried many of the
eaucuses with a rOusing majority. Many
liberal votes which would go to DR.. Ames
should the Republican candidate be a
narrowguage man would go undoubt-
eddy to Mr.. Sly. But his well
known liberal proclivities are highly OBJ
poXious to the admirers of an illiberal
administration; hence the movement which
