The Republicans went through the
motions of nominating some aldermen
last night With the above result. Atthe
same time they elected delegates to
their convention to be held tomorrow.
There is not only a fight among the
members of the committee, as TO the
course to take on nominating men 10
head the Republican ticket, but over
those vino favor nominating ticket
there hover black clouds OF doubt that
fine Italian hand and head Of IL. b.
Willis are buSily at work trying to
convince such hard-fsted Republicans
as Sam Nichols that the proper thing
to do is to make no nomination. sam
Nichols has been in the ring so long,
and sees nothing further in sight to
compensate him, that he does not take
kindly to this idea. So whatever
strength there is in the organization is
divided.
A large share of the Republicans of
the city are for ind0rSing Mayor Smith,
Sam Nichols, however, gives it out III
deep bass voice that the party will ''in-
dorse nobody" They want ticket all
to themselves, even If it is hopelessly
buried May 1.
There was more Or less talk OF In
dorsing both Mr.. DAILY and Mrs. Refs
ship, in the hope that by doing this one
or two Republican aldermen might be
elected. But Sam Nichols kicks at
this. 1t was given out in certain quar-
tiers that some of the old-timers had
been working up boom for MI.
Nichols for comptroller, and that his
name would be sprung i'll the conyen-
ton Monday. This scheme was not in
dorsed by all the committee. -
For mayor William BickePs name
was still mentioned, though those who
mentioned it did not do it with any no
ticeable enthusiasm. His son William,
as candidate for alderman, was talked
of in about the same tone of voice.
Some voters want to nominate Col.
Keifer for mayor, hoping thereby to
catch the vote of the SO-called indie
pendent workingmen clubs, OF which
Col. Keifer is the choice. They may do
this, but it will raise one of the
BIGGEST KIND OF ROWS
among the Willis faction.
Peter Thauwald, for treasurer will
probably be the man unless Mr.. REFS is
Endorsed.
When it comes to candidates for al
dermen at large, there are several DEM
ocrats who are talked of more than any
Republicans. There seems to be little
timber available for the council, in the
Republican ranks. EX-Ald. Van
Slyke and Aid. Cullen, if they would
take a nom nation, at Republican hands
could get it. if there is anything relia-
BILE in the raft of talk that was going
last night. Mike Long, young Irish
man, has some friends who want TO
vote for him for candidate at large.
But there's going to be caucus of the
delegates to-day. They will meet when
the church bells are ringing this morn
the extent of trying to fix up some
scheme that will be satisfactory to both
the old-timers and the young men. Sam
Nichols, the chairman of the committee.
gave it out pretty flat-fOOted last night
after the caucuSeS were over, that the
party would not endorse" anybody.
At the same time he said
that he had no idea who would be at the
head of the ticket. He said the split in
the ranks on the question of nominating
or not nominating candidates for the
first three places on the ticket, had led
him to take no interest in picking out
trees for the lightning to strike. He
had confined his political work to call
ing the convention, and he was of the
opinion that it would be able to pick out
its own candidates. Below are the eau
cuseS in detail:
