Aldermanic IIonors-Great Interest


Who arc Likely to be Nominated for |
Aldermanic Iionors-Great Interest
CenteriRg Over This Ward.
The talk of prospective nominees in the
Eighth ward is beginning to become some
what loud and to the point. Alderman
Sonnenberg. whose term expires with this
year, and who has rendered able and eff
Gent service, thoroughly looking after the
wards and the city's interests, is not seek
ing denomination, and unless he is called
will not STAND. Councilman Rsbanus, the
present first councilman, is making a
strong canvass for the nomination. He
has served twice in the councilmanic cham
Der, and has made oreditable showing.
He is not having 1t all his own way, how
ever, for Henry Munson, the we'll known
box manufacturer and ex-councilman, is
making just as strong canvass. Munson
was Alderman Crampton's principal oppo-
nent in the caucus last year, and made a
strong showing.
On the democratic side things are not so
warm. Special effort ia being made by the
democrats this time to nominate strong
candidate.
Elk Town Clerk Philip Hugo has been
| mentioned as one of the most prominent
| candidates for the nomination. Last even
| upon him, asking him to stand for the
nomination. He positively declined to do
80, however, as his increased and extensive
business is just now taking his whole time
| and will not allow him time for aldermanic
services. DR.. Rollin Mcneil is snothe,
democrat whose name has been prominent
ly urged for the nomination. The doctor
has been rendered the nomination as an
other exceptionally strong candidate, but
will not stand as he has very
large practice which takes hi
whole attention. The man at present mos
available and most likely to be nominated
Gallagher has been president of the boart
of councilmen, running when the ware
was regarded as the very stronghold,
of republicanism, and is regarded by tn
democrats as man who is very likely t.
bring out all the democratic voters of tn
ward and good many republicans unde
his standard.

WESLEYAN TO PLAY IN PHILADELPHIA.
MIDDLETowN, Nov. 22.-The Wesleyan
football team will start for Philadelphia
tomorrow afternoon with large crowd of
admirers. The eleven has been practicing
morning and afternoon for the last two
weeks and has improved greatly in individ
ual and team play. Captain Gordon has
been i'll but has fully recovered from his
injuries and will undoubtedly put up
star game. The Thanksgiving recess be-
gins tomorrow at noon, and will last till
Friday night. A large number of the
students will 60 home, but many of them
will accompany the team to Philadelphia.
The last practice will be INDUCED in to-
morrow before the teams departure.
The excitement over the methods adopt
ed by the management of the football
association in disposing of the tickets for
the game, is intense. Manager Mafitt is
still severely censured, but it is by the
very few who were caught in the act of
systematically trying to cheat their fellow
students by speculating on the sale of
tickets. It has been reported that the
faculty was in sympathy with the students
and down on the management. Professor
Richards, who is the athletic professor at
Yale, was the one to whom complaints
have been made and as he was in position
to know both sides, he was seen yesterday
by a reporter and questioned as to the
position of the faculty in the matter. He
said that Mafitt did right and condemned
the spirit of speculation among few of
the students.
