.THE City REPUBLICANS
Suggesting Good Names for

AN IDEA WORTHY OF ACTION
In All the Wards, started in the

election, especially in SO far us it relates
% the selection OF u good Council ticket.
There has been sent to every Republican
voter in the ward, so far us they are
known, ticket to be voted at the pri-
mary election to be held Saturday, to-
morrow, bearing the names OF those
whose names were suggested at the sug-
sestion meeting for the First Branch OF
Council, the Second Branch and for del
sgates to Mondays convention. This
ticket bears at its head the following
notice:
"Will you select from the following
names good Council ticket, and vote
Tor the chosen men at the Republican
primaries, il Market house hall, on Sat |
rrday, December Goth, between and
D o'clock p. IN. No ticket is set up and
your vote will count as much us any
mans. Do not ntgleci this important duty"
The idea is a good one, and could be
well followed by the Republicans OF the
other wards. Every Republican is priv
ileged to help select the Council ticket
for his ward and should avail himself OF
that privilege at the primaries.
II is understood that the Democrats
will cndeayor to run so-called citizens
tickets in the Republican wards in the
hope Of defeating the regular Republican
but it is not believed that
their scheme will be successful one. In
the Second ward an effort is TO be made
to cause dsatiection among the colored
voters, but after the attitude OF the De-
mocracy towards the COlored voters in
that ward, as shown by Deputy U. S.
Marshal Shaller0ss and his strikers, rep
resenting and working for the Democ-
racy at the time Of the National election
last month, this scheme is another that
will not be likely to work.
THIRD WARD SUGGESTIONS,
The Third ward Republicans held
their suggestion meeting last evening in
the Police Court room Mt the Public
Building. There was a fair attendance
and considerable interest was taken in
the proceedings. The meeting was
called TO order by ?. Z. Dobbins, the
member OF the city executive committee
from that ward, and George Ellbberd
made chairman aud Il. 5. Allison sec
rotary.
For the First Branch, the names Of
Nicholas Schulz and Benjamin Fisher
were suggested. One is to be chosen.
Mr.. Fisher later positively refused to be
a candidate. For the Second Branch
the following were suggested, three to
be selected at the primary tomorrow:
Matt Chew, Archie 7. Hupp, Geo. Hib-
berd, Charles Il. Nankeuren, Fred Mil
Ter, q. +. Caldwell, Scmuel Kraft and
Joseph A. Metcali.
A number OF the friends of Mr.. Van
keuren insisted upon his allowing the
use Of his name, and propose TO see that
he is nominated. He is popular, and
would make strong candidate aud an
efficient Councilman.
In view Of Mr. Fishers withdrawal,
it has been suggested that Mr. Metcalfs
name be substituted for his for the First
Branch, and this will probably be done.
For delegates to the convention 10 be
held Monday afternoon, five TO be chosen,
the following names were suggested:
Frank johnson, W. J. NCsbitt, John 7.
Cowl, Charles Il. NanEeuren, Walter
Buckley, Stephen Mccullough, Harry
Houser, Joseph MetcRlf, i. 7. Allison
and Samuel Brubakor.
=. 3. Dobbins was unanimously re-
chosen as the executive committeeman
from the ward, and provision was made
for printing tickets, etc. Stephen Me-
Collough was chosen TO act rs judge for
to-morrow's primary and Frank johnson
and Matt Chew We're chosen to serve as
clerks on that occasion. The polls will
be open from . to 8 o'clock.
THE FIFTH WARD MEETING.
At the suggestion meeting OF the Fifth
ward Republicans, which was also held
lastevening,itwas decided opostponedo
ing anything towards selecting Council
ticket until some future time. This was
done for good and satisfactory reasons.
The following suggestions were made,
five to be selected, for delegates to the
convention on Monday: G. Wassemann,
James D. Stanton, DR.. ii. 4. Baguley,
Samuel johnson, y. W. Martin, DR.. T.
0. Edwards, John L. Reid, George Har-
kins, Charles Okel, William w. Rogers,
Charles Bachman, William Grewe, james
Larkins, James Kemple and Esnest Metz
ner.
Frank Wood, who was one OF those
by the Fourth ward Republic
cans for Council at their meeting We'd
nesday evening, does not live in that
ward and is therefore not eligible as
candidate. In his place the name OF
Thomas +. Owens has been suggested.
