Political Notes.

The Union league held meeting at which
there was z fair attendance last evenin 4
Maj tiers pertaining TO the spring campa gu
were informally discussed and il was decided
TO call meeting OF the League TO be held im-
mediately after the Republican city conven-
ton. The ACCESSIBILITY Of indorsing Mayor
Pillsbury's administration and urging him
to run vas discussed, but was not definitely
acted upon. The balance OF the evening
was taken up in listening TO Freeman z.
Lanes Indian stories.
A wel-known cynic, who isn't Sly man.
says he hopes in the event of the latter's
nomination, that the Democrats will nomi-
nate Ed A. Stevens. He says with these
two WORTHLESS in the field the people may get
much light as to ways that are dark; that as
Ed has been the power behind the throne IN
der more than one administration il might be
well to place him on the throne; that he
would surprise the people and leave no one
in doubt as 10 who was mayor.
Il am Sly man" said a young Republican
and prominent Union Lacquer last night
Il acknowledge l hadn't considered his can
didacy until Sunday, but / am now willing TO
COON record Tor my friend and cohort. W.
w. sly. He is a man in whom is combined the
requisites OF chief executive of progress
sive Western city, and as such would be the
pride of the CITY,"
Some confusion has arisen among the pa
pers, and among persons regarding two
L
NJ. Lawrence and Albert Lawrence. The
former is the candidate for mayor. while the
latter, Albert Lawrence, is the well-known
third party Prohibitionist of the Eighth ward
and the Prohibition candidate for alderman
ExSome of Sly's friends point proudly TO the
fact that he was an active laboring man a
few years ago, and never snubs a labOrer
The old wheelhorses do not take kindly to
the suggestion Of Sly as a candidate. and a
back-parlOr caucus may be called TO force
him OFT.
Ed A. Stevens insists that he is out of
politics, and will content himself with SIMPLY
voting the straight ticket. He scouts the
idea of running for city comptroller on a
ticket with w. H. Donohue for mayor, as he
is nc advocate for premature burials.
The George Rem who moved that E. Z.
GeeSamap be the unanimous choice of the
workingmen's caucus, hold at Hunts hall
Saturday night, is not the George II elm who
was formerly foreman of the Evening Journ-
nal but some other rudder.
All the political strikers are now busily en-
gagged in slate-making, and without doubt
many Of the states they conjure will be
eternaly smashed on Saturday night, for no
caucuses can be packed under the simultane-
Gus plan OF holding them.
Orville Rinehart declares that he has no
Interior object in moving into the Eighth
ward; that he is fully determined not to be an
alderman and will move into ward where Q
Democratic nomination is not equivalent to
an election.
Several promi nent Democrats met at the
Union league rooms last evening, but as far
as heard from, neither undertook TO indorse
PillSDuy nor TO advise the Democrats whom
they should nominate.
10 the conquering hero comesr" viii
Grimshaw is now an Eighth warder, and it is
said is laying the wires to walk off with the
Republican nomination for alderman.
