The smoke Of battle begins to rise furi-
ously in some of the democratic wards, and
the local democratic politicians of note
were as busy yesterday as could be, laying |
pipe for the primaries in their respective |
wards next Monday. Squads of them were
to be seen at almost any time of the day,
afternoon particularly, at the portals Of
the city hall, or. at the corner of Church
and Chapel streets, while siquid refresh
ments' seemed to be in great demand, &C.
tive engagement in ward politics being
famous as thirst provocative in the an
nails of party conflicts. There is 'eblood
on the moon" and tonight big rally of
democrats will be that in the Second ward
to hear Mr.. Driscon present his.olains in
the canvass. The rally will be at the
Driscou headquarters, and the affair will
be notable event in the ward. To-mor-
row night Mr.. Driscon tackles.a democratic
rally in Jocelyn Square, and If time per-
| mits will do some of his gilt edged and eff
| fective talking in both the Eighth and the
Twelfth wards.
In the First, Mr.. Sargent's ward, Dris-
coils forces will be handled by Registrar
Hitler. ).
In the Third ward Alderman McGann
has always had the upper hand in the
primaries. He would ike,it is said, to set
up solid delegation for Sargent for mayor
and Edward Downes for city clerk.
L Tn fha ri 1oad
| propose to press forward for the nomina-
ton of alderman Lawyer Julius Twiss
This ward is one of the banner republican
wards of our little state and is always
heard from with no uncertain sound. It
has furnished lots Of good men, strong
men and able men for running our city
government and has plenty more of good
| timber. Our able and unwearying city
attorney, Mr.. Daley, is one of the number.
Fl. E. Benton, now chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee, is another
+ Tenth warder, Judge Studley another, and
SO on. julius Twiss is another. He has
established himself as lawyer of reputa-
| ton and success. He is a Yale graduate, a
man highly esteemed, a courteous gentle
man, and has thorough knowledge Of the
city and its needs He has had experience
the common council done the city valuable
service. He has the right kind of public
spirit and ability to act for the best inter
| ests of the city. Being a lawyer he is IA
miliar with the statutes and city ordi-
nances.
Alderman Burton of the Second does
not intend to enter the field as a candidate
again. In an interview with the gentle
| man, ex-principal of the schools in the
Washington district, he expressed himself
| as not in the contest, having fully decided
| - 1r,;tbJrov Mr. Purfnp raudorad vorv
| efficient and able service to the city, but
the growth of his private business he now
| feels demands his undivided attention.
| In the Eighth ward the democrats there
are rather surprised owing to the fact that
there isin all probability to be three of
their party tickets in the field at the ward
primary next Monday night.
THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATES FOR TOWN
AND CITY.
The prohibitionists were to have nomi-
mated candidates for city and town Offices
last night. The attendance at the conven-
ton was small and the convention ad-
| iourned without action until Thursday
| night.
| A republican campaigner" writes: The
republicans in the Fifth ward are going to
make things lively for the democrats in
the mayoralty campaign, and as the major.
ity is SO small the fight will be worth no
ticing and the result will be eagerly looked
for. They are now looking for strong can
1 didates for the councilmanic ticket, and
some of the leaders are doing their best to
have Attorney Charles H Hayden accspt
I the nomination for couneilman- IF the
other candidates to be selected hsve the
same fighting blood in them as Attorney
HAYDEN the chances Of the democrats fol
carrying the ward are very slim. The
democratic majority at the last election
| was only $50.
