the unexpired Term OF tne late Alderman,
| Henry Van Fl orn; Sixth district, Anthony
| HaucK. member of the present Board.
| For Mayor the Republicans have nomi-
mated George f. Perkins, whose political
| experience has been limited to being
member Of the Board of Education, where
he made good official, and for Alder
men, First district, DR.. Pierson Rector, a
| prominent physician; Second district, Jo-
seph A. Conkright; Third district, Simeon
H. Smith, ex-Finance Commissioner;
| Fourth district, John Macarthur; Fifth
district, Counsellor Max Salinger, ex-
| President of the Board of Aldermen, and
Joseph Il. Ward to fill the short term;
Sixth district, John G. Kaiser, hotel
keeper.
Alderman Michael j. O'Rourke Is also
| a candidate in the Second district. He is
an independent Democrat and has twice
| been elected as such.
O'NEILL AND RECTOR.
| The contest between Alderman O'Neill
and DIR. Rector is lively one, but entire
| ly without personalities and abuse. Each
! is good man and it simply remains for
| the voters to make their selection. Every
| one in the district knows Mr.. O'Neill,
politically, but in that light the doctor is
at disadvantage. He has never been to
any considerable extent identified with
politics.
The triangular fight in the Second dis
trict Is decidedly interesting, buG num-
Der of well posted men told me yester-
day that it was reasonable to believe that
Joseph A. Conkright would draw from
o. .Rourke, the Independent, votes enough
ocratic nominee. Norton is popular in
the district, and O'Rourke has lost much
OF his popularity
The liveliest fight in the city, perhaps,
| is in the Third district, but it is believed
John Hart will win it. So far as charac-
ter is concerned there is no choice be-
tween him and Simeon III. Smith. Both
are excellent men and either would per-
form the duties of Alderman to the salts
| faction of the people.
Each candidate Is well known, but the
pop ularity Mr.. Hart obtained in his bust
- II
and as secretary of the Liquor Dealers
Association, makes him strong favorite
among the betting men 1t is more than
probable that he will be elected by a good
majority. If this is the case it will not be
from any fault of Mr.. Smith, for he is
his own election.
Henry Meyers and John Macarthur are
making politics hum in the Fourth dis
trict, but aside from the fact that the
election of Mr.. Meyers is generally con-
ceded, there is nothing worth especial
mention in their campaign.
THAT FIFTH DISTRICT.
The Democrats are worried about the
Fifth district which elects two men this
spring. Daniel Cleary, they feel certain,
will be elected, but they fear Max Salin-
ger, Republican candidate, will knock
out Paul Sury, who is but slightly
known. The fight is an exceedingly
warm one, and the result can only be sur
missed.
In the Sixth district the struggle be-
tween Hauck and Kaiser is merrily pro-
crossing, and it is believed by men who
Claim to be posted that Mr.. Hauck will
be reelected, but he has got to work.
AS to the feeling of the people concern
ing the election of Mayor interviewed a
number of gentlemen whose political
opinions are always worth quoting.
Sheriff Davis-sMayor Cleveland will
be reelected by q handsome majority,
and we will get at least five Aldermen"
Police Captain John Smith, Fifth Police
precinct: I've will re-elect Cleveland
Mayor and also Hauck for Alderman
Nj. J. O'Donnel, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committee:-tM Mayor Cleve-
land will be reelected by from 1.5OO to
1. 900 majority, and we will elect all the
Aldermen but one in the Fifth, and may
get him. Concerning the arrests of the
election officers Saturday, / am informed
that no more raids will be made until
after election Saturdays arrests were
only for effecr.n
A MAJORITY OF THE ALDERMEN.
Freeholder Gorman:-ssI have no doubt
of Democratic victory for Mayor, and
we will also elect a majority of the Alder
men"
Freeholder Ellis:-"If the Workingmen
are true to themselves they will elect
Orestes Cleveland ON Tuesday,"
Freebooter Coyle 81 see no reason
,yhy Mayor Cleveland should not be re-
