tion OF delegates to the city and State con-
ventions and the election of cityJcom-
mittee will be held in the various ward
rooms this evening. No difficulty is an
ticipated i'm the selection Of the delegates,
as the Republicans as whole are favora-
BILE to the nomination of d. Russell Brown
for Governor and TO the return of Senator
Aldrch to the United States Senate. For
State Senator Representatives Fred w.
Eastern and Edwin Darling have been
spoken OF as candidates, but il is under
stood that Mr.. Darling is not candi-
date, believing that he can better serve
the city in the House where he now Is.
During the past week another candidate
has appeared in the field, namely, Alder
man John Il. Adams of the First Ward.
Mr.. Adams would make n strong candi-
date If nominated, and in the event of his
election would no doubt serve the city in
a manner creditable alike to himself and TO
his party. but IL is generally thought
that in consequence of his present position
in the Board of Aldermen, and as the
complications likely to arise there may
possibly develop to such an extent as 10
occupy all the time he will be able to
devote to those matters, IL might be as
well for him TO defer placing himself in n
position to he burdened with additional
duties, for time 1t least. 1t Is also the
prevailing opinion, with all due Difference
to Mr. Adams, that of the two Mr.. Easton
would prove the stronger candidate owing
to his broader experience in public affairs,
particularly in the House Of Representa-
tives.
For representative, Mr.. Darling is the
only candidate mentioned in the First
Ward.
In the Second Ward Wheaton Cole, the
nraspnt m hanf have n clear
field. Who will be presented from the
Third Ward in place OF David j. White is
not certain. William NJ. Peckham's
name has been mentioned. the present
overseer of the poor; but IL is doubtful to
many many if his slight experience IN politics
enough To risk his nomination.
The Fourth Ward Republicans will
work for w. w. Blodgett ut large, in case
Mr.. Easton, the present incumbent, is
nominated for senator; w. Howard Wal
ker, the present representative Will In all
probably be renominated.
The only definite information that can
be obtained from the Fifth ward is that
William III. Salisbury, elected by the
Democrats last year is according to his
own statements, not candidate for re-
election. Nothing has been heard from
the Republicans rs TO whom they propose
to nominate. Owing to the Democratic
majority in this ward they doubtless do
not concern themselves TO any great
tent long before they are obliged TO.
The members of the city committee will
probably be re elected where such a course
is practicable. in all the wards except the
First. 1t is expected some changes will be
made here, as certain parties are not salts
fled with the management OF affairs at the
recent election. This opposition is gener-
ally understood, aud there may be fight
on this line. In the other wards some of
the present members of the committee
have removed from the city, and others
have signifed their Intention of refusing
denomination, but it is believed that the
only feeling against the old members is in
the First ward.
