The Australian system. which is little
understood and under which the coming
election is to take place, is approved
by the Democrats. Under It's WORKINGS
they expect to proft,in that the chances
for Republican fraud are reduced TO
minimum.
elbow is politics?' was asked of John
DOYLE, formerly of the present Fourth
ward, but now of the Firth. ION, l am
in the hands of my friends" was the
reply. as MIR. Doyle Skated away. From
which it may be inferred that he Is an
aldermanc candidate from his district
For wears there has not been such a
favorable outlook for the Democrats, as
factiunal differences are being adjusted.
In the Fifth ward it is understood that
the Stahlman- BannolZer difference has
been adjusted 10y CHRIS Dornden stand
ing as the ward representative, ana
Billy BanhOlzer running at large. This
will not prevent William Koch, who is
we'll known in the ward, and
who is affiliated with no faction,
from making a good, strong pull for
place on the ticket as ward representa-
tive. Col. A S. Weller, loyal Demo
u
Helm is not a or, at card in the race for
the Republican nomination, as it is COLI
ceded that Fred Richter will lay Elm
out. AS Richter Is a perennial Office
seeker and has lost much Of his pOpu-
sarity, he can be beaten by either Koch,
.Sorniden or Ba nholzer.
Matt Leithauser, the Republican rep
reseutative from the Second ward,
would like to be returned. The ward
Is Democratic, and LethauSpr slipped
In through Democratic differences.
These have been henled. and whoever
the Democrats may unite upon VIII beat
LeithauSer. As Well-knOWn Rtpub-
Iican of the Second said yesterday:
''LeithduSer won't do. His record as
an alderman is not the very best"
That truly holy organization, the
Union League club, will meet OH Mon
day evening. The CLUB expects to cut
quite a figure in politics. Its member
ship is largely composed of young Re
publicanS who have UtOpian political
theory, but who in practice are as
diametrically opposed to their hifalutin
theories as can be.
An "independent" political meeting
will be held on Monday evening iii the
Eighth ward, at the corner of Lafond
and Victoria streets. There are a lot of
political nondescripts in the Eighth, a
Democratic ward, who are endeavoring
to split up the parties with view to
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The Democrats are going to put up
a very excellent ticket this year, mark
my words" said Chairman jim King.
OF the city commission yesterday. THE
excellent men they have placed in Of
flee, especially such as Mayor Smith,
Comptroller Roche and City Treasurer
Refs. have secured the public confidence,
and the Democrats are fully entitled to
the confidence which the public repDSeS.
The ticket the party will nominate for
the spring election will be fully up TO
the standard of the names mentioned"
The Republican ranks are not SOlidi-
fed into that phalanX which the party
leaders would like to see. The cohorts
are chasing about with the air of per-
sons pursuing a f0rl0rn hope. 1t is
pretty generally conceded that Col.
Kiefer will lead the Republican ticket
as the candidate for mayor. But he
does not awake that enthusiasm which
inSureS success.
All element which has quite place
I'm the political turning up is the cOlOred
vote. 1t has heretofore been unquali-
fiedlY Republican, but the cOlored pop
ulation here is intelligent and cannot be
blindly led at the snap of the party
finger. The culored people have been
given, virtually, no recognition by the
party which always expects their
vote. On the other hand the Democrats
have given them a representation on
the police force, fire department and in
other places. This has caused the col
ored citizen to put on his thinking cap,
and he is not as unqualifedly Repuhi-
can as he was before observation proved
to him that the Democrats are the best
friends he has.
A party of gentlemen, fourteen in
number. who are pleased to call them
SelueS the Reform Democracy" met
yesterday afternoon in the German
American bank building. Art,r some
little consultation it was agreed to an
nOunce that the committee favored the
nomination Of L. Ii. Kelly for mayor.
This was done on the mistaken
theory that Mayor Smith would
not come before the convention. A
committee, of which Col. Crook was
named as chairman, was appointed to
wait on Mr.. Kelly and tender him the
committees nomination. The com
mitteH also decided it would not reCOg-
niZe the Democratic city committee, but
that there would be no differences of
opinion If the cauruSps were legally
held. 1t must not he inferred. from
this, that there is any split in the DEM
ocratIc party.
A new candidate for aldermanic hon
ors has sprung up in the person of
Thomas f. O'DUwd, of the Fourth
ward. He is a young Democrat aud
very popular.
The Eleventh ward is producing
number OF aspirants in opposition to
Aid Sullivan. Among those most prom
inently mentioned are Maj. Fred Bur
nand, William De Sayigna and w. G.
Severance.
