the Present Council Announced to

ough - The Peoples and Reform
Tickets - The Registration Books
Closed.
There viii be at least two candidates for
mayor at Tuesdays election, and probably
more before the politicians get through
with their states
The old board Of aldermen has decided to
stand for reelection with Mayor Schwarz.
Several Conferences Of politicians were
held yesterday, aud last night another ticket
was made up;
FOR MAYOR:
J. J. MCDoNoUGH.

George s. Haines, Herman Myers,
W. P Bailey, w. G. Cam,
W. F. Reid, R. B. Harris,
David Wells, s. p Hamilton,
ID. r. Thomas, James Mcclure.
Messrs- Wells, Hamilton, Thomas and
Mcclure take the places of Aldermen
Falligant, MoDonough, Nichols aud Car
son.
M'DoNoUGH IN THE RACE.
The ticket will prove big surprise, from
the fact that Alderman Med enough was
mentioned for the mayoralty several weeks
ago, and was undei stood to have declined
ard agreed to stand by tho administration
ticket. The fact of Mr.. Mcclure being on
both the Peoples aud McD3nough tickets
may give him some hope of success.
There was another aldermanic ticket some
time ago styled the Reform Ticket" but it
has dropped pretty nearly out Of sight.
A ticket headed the Peoples Ticket"
understood to be the one adopted at the
Russell caucus in Turner hall Friday night,
was distributed Yesterday. It contains but
three names, following which are ten blank
lines 1t reads as follows:
FOR MAYOR:
JOHN SCHwARz.
FOR ALDERMEN:
". I. O'Brien, James E. Mcclure.
THE TURNER HALL CAUCUS.
1t was agreed Friday night to scratch
Aldermen Cam and MoDonough, but the
fact OF Mr.. McDonough making the race
for mayor puts him out of the aldermanic
race 1t is said that vote was taken at the
Turner hall caucus whether Alderman Cam
or Bailey should be dropped for O'Brien. 1t
was finally decided that Cam should 90.
and while a fight may be made on Mr..
Bailey for some one else, the question mas
not yet been definitely settled.
Since MIR. McDonough Is out Of the alder
manic race 1t is not known who Mcclure
will be pitted against. He has denied all
along that he intended to make fight on
Alderman McDonouGh. He claims that he
is running for the Office on his own merits,
and doesn't propose TO ask that any partcu-
individual IA ba1 a.
he is leaving that to MS friends.
Both O'Brien and Mcclure have been
sending out joint circular which reads as
follows: Having been nominated by the
First district for aldermen and indorsed by
toe public at large, we respectfully ask your
support and influence, with whoever you
may choose to select at the court house on
Jan. 20, 1891"
