THE POLITICAL cAULDuoN.
It Will Bubble Tonight i'm Repub-
 SfrcIo.

Mcan Circles.
 Tonight the majority of the Republican ward primaries will be held. Great inter est attaches to several of them in the re- spective wards in which they are held. In the Ninth a determined effort will be made to nominate for alderman ex-Coun- l cilman William S. Wells, who, by right of succession, is entitled to the honor, as we'll as by his record for faithful and able ser vice for the city. A strong feeling in his favor is shown in the ward. MT. Wells is @ man admirably fitted for the responsible position of alderman, being man of affairs, wholesale merchant with large business, a good speaker and debater and gentleman thoroughly we'll posted in municipal and national affairs. He is the rear admiral commanding the National Association of Naval Veterans, and under his able man. agement has much advanced the prestige, power and influence of the national body The Ninth ward caucus will be held to- night at at $50 o'clock at Days hall, and large attendance should be on hand. This ward has at present one democratic alderman. MT. Avis, and one republican, MT. Prince, whose term lasts one more year The only opposing candidate to Mir.
  man John T. Moore, the plumber, who is now second councilman, but many of his friends think it best to keep up fair TO- ration of promotion.
 In the Eighth ward caucus tonight there will be music. For aldermen the names of ex-Councilman Champion, Coun- cilman Munson, who is the present first councilman, Councilman Rabanus and AL derman Beers, the present alderman (whose term soon expires), are advocated. There seems to be a strong movement in the ward to nominate Edward I. Atwater and Alex ander Buckingham for councilmen. Mir Atwater has a host of friends who would like to have him nominated, assured as they are that he will we'll serve the public if he is chosen. He is a young, enterpris- ing business man, we'll fitted for the place. and would give ample time to it's duties. Captain Buckingham is a well known busi- ness man and thoroughly capable of well serving the ward and the city. In what ever he undertakes he proves himself an energetic citizen.
 MT. Kelley is backed by Thomas Sulli- van, J. H. Moore, J. F. Shanley.
 SEVENTH WARD DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
 Alderman Terrence Kelley is candidate for reelection in the Seventh ward. The candidate against him, Thomas F. Ahearn, is backed by a strong combination but Mir. Kelley is hard worker and will make strong fight. The Carney faction of the democratic party of the city, Kelley. is backed by large number of young men who have not yet achieved distinction in politics. The young men are beginning to make themselves felt.

He also indignantly denies pub lished report that he did not care fig for the Germans or German vote. He says he never made such a statement in any way or shape.
