TALK ABOUT THE TICKET
ALDERMAN THOMAS LITTER OF
ACCEPTANCE.


The talk Of the town yesterday was about
the nominees fer mayor ana aldermen by
the convention Of the democratic clubs Fri
day night On every hand the ticket is
considered good ticket, and among
tnese who are competent 10 forecast poIiti-
cal results il Is set down as sure winner.
The manner in which tho ticket was
nominated seems to meet with much
more favor than the theater mass
meeting way OF nominating candidates,
and IN consequence the usual complaints Of
2 packed hair are not heard. The clubs
selected their delegates and sent them as at
creaited representatives 10 a convention,
where the votes cast represented the nu-
meTtcai strength OF the different clubs as
appeared by their roster Of members. By
Lais means the ennVention represented, as is
claimed by the democracy, the public senti-
ment OF the party, and makes any indie
pendent ticket weak. no matter II strong
men are put on it; in fact, the fSchwarz men
yesterday seeing this, began to suggest
THE sCHwARz TICKET,

Thankng yon for tho courteous manner IN

D. r. THOMAS.
II Is learned that all of the aldermanic
candidates on the Thomas ticket have SIG
nifed their acceptance except Mr. George
s. Haines, who has asked until tomorrow
10 consider 1t. His hesitation is because he
prefers not 10 serve on the board Of alder
men another year, but his friends are urg-
ing his acceptance, and it is believed that
he may consent to serve another term.
THE scHwARz CAMPAIGN.
The friends Of Mai. Hchwarz, 1t appears,
have not bean able to agreeupon any plan
OF campaign. Some who have all along
thoug ht a citizens mass meeting should be
called to nominate the major are not 50
sure this would DO the best plan, as a mass
meeting Of citlzsns might indorse the
Nrs Geer-e Meyer, OF the Citizens club,
svbsca did not 60 into the convention, said
4 yesterday that it is not necessary to have
any SUCH nesting, as Moi. Schwarz is al
ready a candidate. Mr. Meyer thinks the
democratic adermanic ticket might be i'm
proved upon, and lie said that the fact that
there is not a single German on it made It
look as IL It was Intended for a direct snub
Of the German population.
In opposition to this view of the situation
q leading democrat said yesterday that the
Germans would neither send delegation 60
the convention, nor had thsy suggested any
name. 1t was their own fault II they are
without voice in the new council Every
element IN the convention was accorded
representation on the ticket, and the Ger
mans having purposely absented themselves
from the convention, and asking no repre-
sentatioE, had no cause 10 complain.
GOSSIP or TUE CANVASS.
II is believed that some action will be
taken tomorrow, looking 10 plan Of cam

stood that Maj. Schwartz lieutenants are
Mr.. Jacob Paulsen and s. l.. Lazaron,
ESQ. IL is runored about town that his
friends are counting on a solid colored vote
in return for representation OF cOlored
men on the police force. IL Is also rumored
that a very large campaign fund Is TO
be raised, and the amount IL
sounds more like q presidential ca npaign
than a municipal one. These may be
canards. buG they will at least lead those
who expect to be paid for their services for

place a very high value on them.
There does not appear TO be any DISPOSE

DECLINED 4 DENOMINATION.
IA "a understood that DIR. Duncan aud
David Wells, Esq, were not nominated on
the Thomas ticket because they had OK
pressed their determination not TO serve
again. They are efficient aldermen, and
had they so desired, there is no doubt they
would have been put In nomination and
heen elected by an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Fred A. Jones, whose name is on the
Thomas ticket, was asked yesterday to
allow his name to be used on the SchwarE
ticket. BE declined, but Of course II be is
run on both tickets he can't help 1t.

tickets has given general satisfaction to his
friends Many predict that the doctor will
