There will be a lively time in the Seventh
ward republican caucus tonight. Jockeys
and Kleinschmidt's friends each claimed
yesterday that their man would nave all
the votes from the Seventh in the oonven-
ton Wednesday evening, and to make good
their claim will do some tall hustlinR to-
day. For the aldermanic nomination A. @.
Votaw and e. s. Walker are working hard,
with the chances in favor of Walker.
Down in the Sixth Angus Mcdonald has
charge of the Kleinschmidt interests. and
he expects to head the delegation to the
city convention for the present mayor, and
also to carry off the aldermanio nomi-
nation himself. In the Fifth Alderman
Wilmer is working for a solid Kleinschmidt
delegation and to be his own successor.
The Jockey forces. however, are not going
to allow him to have q walkover. while e1-
7 Alderman Richards and Harrison want to
break into the council themselves.
In the Fourth the Kleinschmidt strength
is less than in any other save the Seventh.
and it is probable Jockey will have a solid
aldermanio nomination just where he wants
it, and as he is all things to all men these
days, he may be right in his belief.
Mayor kleinschmidt's friends are posi-
tive they will have one-half, at least, of the
Third ward delegation, while Jockeys lieu
J.. S. Featherly will take the aldermanic
nomination if it is pecessary. In the Sec
ond ward the Hockey feeling is said to be
very pronounced, while as for the " va
oanoies in the council there are no particular
a%spirants. In the First Kleinschmidt will
have a solid delegation. Eugene Meyer
and Alderman Klein stand about an equal
chance for the aldermanio nomination,
Sergeant s. N. Nicholson was around
yesterday looking up his chances for the
nomination for police judge on the republi-
can ticket. So far the sergeant is in the
lead and does not propose to be distanced.
He is o hard worker in politics and his
friends claim that his long association with
police matters will make him a competent
judge.
City Treasurer Walker is doing some hard
work. both for himself and against Jockey.
Alderman Anthony Harrity of the First
ward, is very likely to be the new chairman
of the democratic city central committee.
If he accepts he will take his place at the
head of the fight and stay with it to the
finish.
The places of holding the republican
primaries this evening are as follows:
First ward, city hall; Second, Browns
block, Warren street; Third, Edwards
block. Park avenue; Fourth, Central school
building: Fifth, west side school house;
Sixth, hose house; Seventh, Bach, Cory d
Co.'S. Ninth avenue and Idaho streets,
