CITY POLITICS..

The Political Cauldron Boiling-Talk
About Town - Republicans and
Representation ON the City Boards
The Race for the MayOralty.
The political campaign now impending
bids fair to create more real interest in
town than did the national election. In
all the wards politics are rife, and every |
night, especially in the democratic wards,
knots of ward politicians are as busy and |
absorbed over the coming ward nomina-
tions as can we'll be imagined. The repub-
Leans are not idle, for the impending city
elections means loss of power and control
in the various commissions unless they
do some tall hustling. There is no danger
of losing the Eighth ward again. The
Second Is close ward, go is the Ninth.
The republicans are frequently pushed to
carry the Eleventh, but are probably all
right there this time with Nor
gan nominated, AS he most probably will be.
Alderman Maxcy Hitler expects, as standard
bearer to carry the First and be returned
to the board of aldermen. The Twelfth is
almost surely democratic, also the Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh. AS for
candidates for mayor it looks as if William
Nicely would be the successful aspirant
on the democratic side. Reports say James
D. Dewell is 10th to re-enter the field as a
candidate for mayor. If he cannot be pre-
vailed upon to accept a nomination again
the republicans must look further. Among
the names mentioned for the republican
nomination is that of Even Mcintyre, the
| famous dry goods merchant, whose friends
| are legion. A movement was started yes

looking to the presentation of his

forward by his friends as one that would
command enthusiasm as a candidate and
as brilliant young representative of the
Scottish American. element which has
never yet been represented in any govern
ment position in the gift of the republican
party in this city. By the representative
men backing the movement it is urged

The Tenth ward republican caucus will
be held Friday evening. Among the names
most prominently mentioned for alderman
are ex-Councilman 81. F. Reyes and Coun
Gilman Macdonald. A leading candidate
for councilman is Charles W. Fabrieue
and Samuel F. Punderson is also mention
ed as candidate for councilman. Either
of these gentlemen would do good service
for the city as councilman if chosen.
The contest in the Fourth ward will nc
doubt be very lively. In the democratic
ranks the young men and old men are a
war, and the republicans have splendid
the numerous candidates are ex-Council
man John T. Gaffey. Mr.. Gaffey is I
hardworking republican and would b.
a valuable member of the board of alder
men.
