SOO-UL CONFIDET.
Says White Will Carry The
CaucuSes Tonight.
CITY BUSINESS NEGLECTED.
Republican Aldermen Lose Sight
u..- OF The Peoples Interests.

The Republican primaries will be held
this evening for the selection of delegates
to the mayoralty convention.
The fact that candidates for the school
committee are to be selected is entirely lost
sight of in the fierce fight for the mayor.
atty between the three Republican members
of the present beard of aldermen.
Each member ard adherents will un-
doubtedly attend the caucus in his respec-
tive ward to the neglec, of the public busi-
meas of the city which he has sworn to at
tend to. The regular monthly meeting of
the board of aldermen should be held at s
o'clock and many people have been served
with legal notice to attend at that hour.
1t is doubtful, however, If any are prestn Mt
except the two Democratic members to
give those people a hearing, and two being
less than quorum, they cannot act.
This is an illustration of how Republicans
regard personal interests in preference TO
those of the city.
Should the meeting be held after the pri-
msries it will be quite study to watch the
countenances of the defeated msyoralty
aldermen.
In the meantime Mayor Goodwin keeps
his own counsel and attends the sntiWhite
meetings on East avenue, one of which, by
the way, occurred last night, Seoul was
seen after the meeting and he declared
