They Are Beginning to Shape Them

A great deal of interest is being mani
tested already in the Congressional fights,
and on the Republican side of the house
things are already beginning TO shape them
selves with more or less certainty.
In the First District the nomination of
Frank COOmbs TO the japanese mission has
siniplihed matters greatly, aud among the

among the politicians Of the Second Dis

one most frequently mentioned, is that of
John r. Davis OF Calayeras, and 1t looks

Generally speaking. the lobbyist is

that his cousin by marriage-a well.known
Wall-street broker-would be Just the man
to assist him ia having it. He was re-

versation which ensued the eyes of the
rural gentleman landed upon the telephone

him. He had heard of them in general

There is every reason to believe that the
programme outlined in yesterdays CALL

County Committee tonight and it is safe to
say that Martin Kelly's DR.. Meyers will be
obliged to go. That he will be supplanted

way TO Irving NJ. Scott is more than prob
able.
Meyers has, in fact. been associated too
long with the Third-Street bosses to hope to
inspire the confidence of the decent element
Of the Republican party. and his removal at
this time is bat the legitimate outcome Of
his long struggle to maintain Kelly and
Crimmns in authority.
