PREPARING FOR PRIMARIES.
The Republican Cali for Ward Nominations
TO BE Issued To-MorrnM

The Republican Cali for Ward Nominations
to Be Issued To-Morrow.
A call for an early meeting of the Re-
publican County Committee will be issued
tomorrow to decide upon date for holding
Congressional, Senatorial, Legislative, ma
tional delegate and State Convention dele
gate primaries early in March. The March
primaries will likely be opposed by the
Allegheny City members of the committee.
They want more time in which to fix upon
satisfactory candidates. Many of them are
still contemplating a candidate for Congress
against Colonel Stone.
The Allegheny people have about decided
that William Witherow and Harry Oliver,
on the one side and B. f. Jones and John
X. Henricks, on the other, will be the can
didates for National delegates. There are
two to elect All parties agree that Mr..
Witherow will be one of the successful men.
1t is agreed that the fight will be between
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Oliver for the second
place. Neither of the two have as yet pub
licly announced himself The anti-Har-
rison people, however, are already fighting
Mr.. Jones on the ground that he is a pro-
nounced Blaine man in the interest of Mr..
Harrison. The friends of the administra-
tion are fighting Mr.. Oliver on the ground,
they claim, that he has entered into deal
with the Pennsylvania leaders to spring
General AIger on the convention in the
event of Mr.. Blaine's positive refusal to ac-
cept the nomination.
1t is asserted on reliable authority that
Senator Finn, who will be the delegate-at-
large from Allegheny county, c. L. Magee
and j. O. Brown, who will be the district
delegates from Pittsburg, and other lead
ers, among them Senator Quay, have de-
cided, if Mr.. Blaine will not be a candidate
to turn Pennsylvania delegation over to
General Alger and secure his nomination.
All the Allegheny county candidates for
national delegates have announced them
selves for Mr.. Blaine as first choice, but
none of them have indicated who they will
support if it is officially announced that
Mr.. Blaine will not accent a nomination.

DO NOT WANT TO STRIKE.

The Knights Of Labor Committee Fails to
Get a Conference With the Second Ave-
nue. Company-OmciaIs Do Not Think q
Meeting Necessary.
The committee appointed by the Knights
OF Labor to confer with the management of
the Second Avenue Street Railway Com
pany did not succeedin getting conference
yesterday, but will try it to-day. The re-
instatement of the six discharged men will
be asked for, and if the demand is not
acceded to a meeting will be called and
the propriety OF striking discussed.
AT the company's Office yesterday it was
given out that the committee would meet
with poor success, as the company thought
1t had a right to discharge whoever it
wanted to. One of the officials said he
thought the men would readily see that the
company was doing the best it could under
the circumstances for the men. "We are
only running six cars now," continued the
official, 'sut are dividing the work up so
that each man will get share
The employees are reticent and are await
Ing the outcome of the committees confer
ence. They do not want to strike, so they
say, but think their brother employees have
been wrongly used.

feated Candidate for Auditor General.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S-[ Special ii.
Marshall Wright, of Allentown, has come
out as full-hedged candidate for the posi-
fion OF Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. 1t is said that when
the committee meets in Harrisburg, JAN
uarv %, Mr. Wright will have a clear ma
iority of votes in his favor. He has been
conducting quiet canvass for some time
past, and within the last two weeks has
"sounded' some 20 or so of his friends in
the committee The favorable responses
received have induced him to formally de-
clare himself candidate.
1t was stated to night, on good authority,
that the eight members from Philadelphia
would vote solidly for Mr.. Wright, and
that he was also likely to get the votes
from Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and
the surrounding counties 1t is quite likely
that the Philadelphians will turn in and
work energeticallv in the interest of Mr..
Wright. They are nearly all personal
friends of Secretary OF State Harrity. and
as such propose to rebuke Chairman Kerr.
1heV say tnat new chairman VIII De
elected. whether Kerr is or is not candi-
date. They claim that Kerr has been using
his position as chairman to iniure the
chances of Mr.. Harritv as a candidate for
the National Committee. Hence the feel
ing.
J. Marshall Wright is brother of Robert
E. Wright, the defeated candidate for
Auditor General He is one of the division
chairmen. and a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee. He has many friends
through the State, is quite popular, and has
shown considerable skill in political man.

MAGEE ANSWERS THE MAYOR,
He Tells Why the Traction Ordinance Wa
Withdrawn Yesterday

Withdrawn Yesterday.
Speaking of the street railway ordinance
which was withdrawn from the Mayor for
amendment yesterday, Mr.. c. L. Msgee,
President of the Duquesne Traction Com
pany, said
''The objections of the Mayor are in the
main sensible and reasonable, and the ordi-
nance was therefore Withdrawn, and amend
ed so as to strike out the properly objec-
tionable features If it had been left in his
hands and vetoed, Councils would have had
to choose between letting it die as whole,
or passing it over his veto as it was, with
the Objectionable features included. The
Mayor is mistaken, however, in SO far as he
held that the work already done had been
without authority. The Central Transit
Company and the Pittsburg, Oakland and
East Liberty Passenger Railway Company
have authority to lay tracks on Fifth ave-
nue. from Denniston avenue to South High
land, and the work done there was done for
them. They have no right to use overhead
electric power there, but nobody had un
dertaken to do So"

Consumers Paw the Tariff.

George F. Attenborough, Nottingham
lace manufacturer, is at the Anderson He
said the tariff on laces was advanced 20 per
cent, but the increase in price is about ~
per cent. The other 12H per cent is made
up in light weight, and in few instances
wages were slightly reduced. He remarked
with smile that the consumer paid the
biggest end of the tariff. Profits are lower.
but the Americans will not be able for
some time to compete with the fore igners
in making the finer grades of goods The
Yankees now excel in producing the cheaper
varieties.
