TOWN AND CITY POLITICS.
A Lively Night = Many Republican
Caucuses - Hitler and Sonnenberg
for Aldermen = other Notes of the
Pending Campaign.
Last night the balance of the republican
ward primaries were held with results as
given below. At the First and Eighth ex-
traordinary interest was developed, and
the caucuses were big ones, in striking
contrast to the usual paucity of number at
republican caucuses., -.
Driscon was still on the warpath yes
terday, but wisely refrained from making
any more speeches, as they are beginning
to pail on the public appetite, and it is
doubtful if they made for him any con-
verts.
The result of the democratic primaries
Monday night is now awaited with great
interest, and not alone in the democratic
camp.

The Eighth ward caucus was probabl
the biggest ever held in the ward. 1t wa
: replete with interest throughout. MI
Sonnenberg, the nominee for alderman, ha
been very efficient public official, ad
mirably serving the city as councilman
!, and he is eminently fitted to serve tn
city ably as alderman from his long resi-
dence here, thorough knowledge of tn
city and its needs, and from his prominenc
and large business experience as mer
chant. He is highly respected, has larg
I following of warm personal friends
and his unanimous selection as al
derman is no empty compliment
especially as the nomination in this war
is equivalent to election. He will be tn
successor of Alderman Gessner, who posi-
!. lively declined q denomination and VIII
! has served the city with rare fidelity an
ability, and who was member of tn
board of finance, which during his teri
has had before it an ususual array of inar
? cial problems of much Importance to tn
city. On four important questions i
i which he was in the minority his side, al
| ter repeated battles, came out ahead. Al
!, derman Sonnenberg will no doubt be a
! able successor and valuable man in tn
city government.
