SATURDAYS cAUcUsEs.
Some of the Democratic Nominees it is
said VIII Not Accept.

The Republicans and Democrats held
their caucuses to nominate candidates
for the various city offices on Saturday
afternoon. The Republicans met in the
Mayors Office ten strong-one alderman
and nine councilmen. The Democrats,
numbering six aldermen and twelve
councilmen, in all eighteen strong, took
the common council room. The Demo-
Gratis began business at o'clock, and did
not finish their work until p. m. Even
then all the officers were not nominated,
for the nomination of chairman of the
board Of aldermen, assistant engineers OF
the fire department, enginemen and
weigher and gauger were laid over until
a caucus to be held today could act on
the matter. Several gentlemen were
nominated to Offices they were reported
unwilling to accept. Mr.. Moulton, it is
reported, said he would accept the NOM
ination for treasurer, provided Mr.. Libby
was retained as first clerk. This the
caucus was unwilling to agree to, and SO
Mr.. Mccarthy was telegraphed to wire
the caucus whether he would accept.
The report is that he declined also.
Then Mr.. John A. Emery was named and
he declined Then the eau Gus decided
to insist on Mr.. Mccarthy for the nomi-
nation.
Mr. Smith who was nominated for
chief Of the fire department. promptly
refused the berth. He said he wouldn't
have it on any consideration. Finally
a committee was chosen of which Coun-
cilmen-elect w. N. How is chairman, to
report list of names, from which the
chief and four assistants is to be taken,
at the caucus today. It will be week
or two probably before the enginemen
are chosen.
Mr.. George L. SWEET will probably be
appointed marshal after the Inaugural
ton this morning, and he will appoint
his deputies.
There seems to be much doubt as to
whether Mr. Jordan will take the posi-
ton of civil engineer. Some say mem
bers of his family requested his nominal
ton and that he would accept and others
that he was cabled to in Europe and re-
Piled that he would not.
After the nomination both the Repub-
ican and Democratic caucuses sat down
