 the F1eld-SOme of the Republicans
 Named for the Nominatfon-Ward
 Politics. sd
 As to local politics, Mayor Peck an nounces that he is positively out of the field and does not intend to be candidate for renomination. This fact he stated to 8 COURIER reporter, who inquired of him on the subject. He has on the whole had tolerably pleasant experience as mayor of our fair city, despite the numerous draughts upon his time and sometimes perplexing public questions that have re- quired his attention. He went into the field two years ago in strongly demo- cratic town, and owing to his popularity and the public esteem in which he is held, coupled with a favorable opportunity owing to the local democratic complica- tions, he won the fight. This time he withdraws, although it may turn out to be another good time for strong republican nominee for the mayoralty. There will be S~S>~NS cratic camp for mayor. It will be, in fact, one of the liveliest campaigns for the mayoralty ever had in New Haven. | J. B. Sargent opened the "merry l war" with grand parade of his workmen l and a band of music discoursed all along the march. c. T. Driscon is now heard i from. MT. Driscoll has been indefatigably | busy, though he has not been saying g | word" Now he takes hold in earnest and blows his bugle call to arms. He was in terviewed last evening by COURIER re- | porter and announced that he will take the field in person and stump all the wards of l New Haven, except the First and Tenth,
 this week. He will address the democratic l voters of the Second ward tomorrow l Tuesday, night at headquarters there, and l will address his constituents in the Seventh l and Eighth wards and probably in the 1 Twelfth wards on Wednesday night, and | Thursday night he, too, will have a parade, | not with all the glory of big brass band, but with the lesser glory of big bass drum, a snare drum or two and fife. Sc | clear the road this week for the engine is coming, and all ''the boys" will be out te hear the speeches of the ex-corporation | counsel and what he has to say in general in paving the way for the big fight at the democratic primaries next Monday night II J ID. DdIS6uG AOoO u14O P141A01lOs there would be bad blood enough engen. dered to give a show for success for re- | publican candidate. However, some lead | ing democrats have gone so far as to sug. gest that if Sargent's friends should miss | it at the primaries and in the convention, | the republicans might take him up on an | independent ticket and thus elect him, be- | sides electing one or two republicans to | prominent city offices. Others say that fu | the event of rumpus in the democratic 1 camp the best thing the republicans could l do would be to nominate that old and tried | democratic war horse Harry G. Lewis, who
 as mayor of New Haven was, as al admit, most efficient mayor.
 l But the republicans propose to act upor
 their own judgment in the premises, and
 among the men whose names are men
 toned for the republican nomination fol
 mayor are General D. S. Greeley, Nathan
 Easterbrook jr., James D. Dewell, William | J. Atwater, Major R. P. Cowles. ant
 others. James D. Dewells friends hav'
 earnestly petitioned him to run for mayo | in previous years but he has been obdur
 ate and would not consent to take thu
 nomination, being content with the cares O
 his large business and the not burdensom
 office of president of New Haven's chambe
 of commerce. This time his friends ar l r0VlVluR Gu6lT uOpo tuht uo WILL run AO
 mayor, especially, as by many, this is con
 provided Cherry war" arises in tn
 democratic camp. Not few democrat
 are so sanguine as to believe that Drisco
 will get there after all and defeat Sargent
 and not few democrats honestly believ
 that neither Sargent nor Driscon will b
 elected whichever of them is run, pro
 vided the republicans put up good stron
 ticket
 Major Cowles would make a fine run fo
 mayor, no doubt. He is popular citizer
 man of worth, influence, probity and ir
 tegrity, the head of a big, prosperous maI
 ufacturing concern that has always had tt
 reputation of treating it's workmen we
 and of never having any trouble or ou breaks in it's shop. Major Cowles is a fa
 sighted gentleman, well read and cultiva
 knowledge of New Haven, it's needs an
 interests.
 General Greeley is one of the able business men residing in New Haven, ar
 his New York concern, of which he is u
 honored head, has a national reputation He has won handsome fortune by 8 business tact and ability; was one of u r brave defenders of our old flag, rising
 be colonel of the old fighting Tenth c. , and to be breveted general. He is se
 made man, and is president of the Nc :. Haven Republican league.
 s MT. Easterbrook is business man n far -sightedness, excellent judgment, has
 handsome income from his well-invest and comfortable fortune, and is thorough
 posted as to New Haven affairs.
 IS MT. Atwater is always an active ms s allowing no grass to grow under his fl
 nor flies to hover around his busin' 1T projects. He is thoroughly acquaint with New Haven and its interests, is a m 7. of affairs and possessed of an independe ,a fortune; is director in various corpo y tions, and is an ardent republican who d horror of all mugwumpery and h ,f straight from the shoulder in all politi h. oI business matters.
 Here, then, is a chance to pick out 'o available candidate for mayor, and
 city has other names equally good to sel y from.
 IA The interest in the coming election :, growing somewhat. The democratic F
 maries will soon be precipitated upon unoffending people who have but j l. emerged from "'great battle at
 polls"-for so nearly severy newspaper the state styled it in their headlines-a 10 now the republicans will wage another l IT more quiet battle at their primaries, wh n are also impending. Said an old-time "a publican yesterday on the subject. ''1 70 air is still full of inquiry as to who V i' be the next governor of Connecticut,
 democratic papers being loud in their ,f sertions that Morris is the coming man a if raising great controversy about
 "specked ballots" and ballots which b le the word 'For" on them, in the vain he B. of frightening somebody. We'll, they .s got to keep their end up, suppose. I
 the republican legislature will, howev
 despite the shrieking from the opposite T. go right ahead and elect General Merv a. for governor all the same, after which Q. democratic papers will cool down and
 call how arepublican legislature admitt A' 'black ballots" in favor of Waller a n didn't raise any row about it at all." d. A FIFTH WARD SARGENT CLUB FORMED l. A Sargent club has just been formed
