| fight against heavy odds.
The workingmen of the Second ward
are doing great work for Coleman j.
Flaherty, the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Flaherty is one of them, and he
stands high in their regard. They
know that if he is elected their
interests will be well looked after
in the city council. Mr.. Flanerty is
young and rustler, and the men who
have known him from his bOyhood
speak in the highest terms of his char
acter and intelligence. He has con-
siderable property in the ward where
he is candidate. For many years he
has been holding responsible positions
in heavy fuel companies of the city,
having been with Griggs & Foster and
now having charge of the yards of the
Lehigh Coal and Iron company. This
| and his long residence in the city and
| ward have given him wide acquaint-
| ance and hosts of friends. He is max
ing strong run. Himself and friends
are saving wood.
Aid. COnley, in the Third ward, is
having plain sailing, as he is very popu-
| lar in the ward, and has not only the in
dorsement of the party, but no Opposi-
| ton from minor organizations, as is the
| case with some candidates.
In the Fourth ward p. T. Kavanagh
has practically no opposition. He en-
| joys the campaign, for as real estate
| has been trifle quiet during the winter
| it gives him bit of excitement. Mr..
| Kavanagh was as good as elected when
| he was nominated, for every man in the
/ ward, as we'll as the majority of the
voters of the city, know his record and
reputation as a business man of in
tegrity and push. There isn't opposi-
tion enough to make it even entertain
| ing to him during the campaign.
William Banholzer, the candidate
known men in the city. He is Ger
man and will poll a heavy vote from
that class of citizens. He is solid bus
iness men, who does not put on any
false dignity, and his friends call him
"Billy." He is director of the Ger
mania bank, and divides hOnOrS with
his father in managing an extensive
brewing business. He is making a
strong run and his prospects are bright.
James Melady, in the Sixth ward, has
bright prospects of being elected. He
is supported pretty generally by the
working men. He, too, is working
| man, being foreman at the Northwest
ern Fuel company. He has lived seven
years in the Sixth ward, and before he
went there he had some property inter
ests on that side of the river. He is a
public spirited man. He once owned a
piece of land on Starkey street which
Mr.. Stickney wanted for railroad pur-
poses. The price of the land was easily
| SIS 200, but as Mr.. Stickney heSitated, Mr..
Melady told him if it were necessary for
railroad purposes, and if the road were
a sure thing, he would sell 1t for S4 900.
Mr.. Stickney gave him this assurance
and the property went at that figure,
| "because," as Mr.. Melady once said, 81
knew the railroad would be good
| thing and didn't want to help stop it
for minute" Mr.. Melady's property
| interests are scattered in several por-
| tiOnS of the ward, and he owns several
| lots on the bluff. He is known widely
| throughout the city as an unassuming,
| honest man, whose word is as good as
! his bond, and whose success is due to
his own steady honesty and industry.
1t has developed that Joseph Matz
was strong man to make the run in the
Eighth ward. He is well-to-dO busi-
ness man, the proprietor of a grocery
story, and with host of friends in the
ward where he lives. He has the proper
sort of material in him to make good
and valuable member of the council.
| John Gehan, the candidate i'll the
Ninth ward, is thirty-four years old,and
he has lived in the ward since he was
! two, so he knows pretty nearly every
] body in the ward. He keeps grocery
