Just what the Democratic aldermen
will do when it comes to a question OF
organizing the council remains uh-
known, in spite of the caucus. The
Democrats may make a serious attempt
to control the organization. BY some
the arrangement between the twelve
regular Republicans and the Democrats
is said to be this: Both Will try for the
organization on their merits. Which
ever WINS, the fight Will end there.
After that combinations will be
in order, the main object being. at all
times. to suppress Miner and SKaag.
If this explanation be correct, the Demo
Gratis may win the organization. BradlSh
has the call OH the Republican caucus
nomination for president or the council.
This is in favor of the Democrats, be
cause Miner and Skoog are known to be
opposed 10 BradiSh. The Democratic
caucus nominee will be Aid. kiichIi
That has been decided upon. The Demo
Gratis NAV be able to catch either Miner
or Skoog, or both, and possibly Re-
publican or two. King caucus does not
reign supreme, and Dradish has oppO-
nents. The men who have felt. in days
gone by, the sting Of Bradlsh's sarcasm
and iiUes. do not feel like putting him
into the chair where he VIII have a
chance to lance them at will.
1t was developed at the caucus OF the
Democratic aldermen Saturday night
that Frank G.. Brooks will not be the
unanimous choice of the Democrats for
city attorney unless another caucus
changes some votes. OF the twelve
votes Brooks had 4, A. 5. Smith 4
ana Ben Davenport 4. AS the GLOBE
has stated heretofore, +. w. Cappeler
will have the support of the Democrats
for city engineer. Inasmuch as Cappeler
has some Republican votes he seems
likely to be elected. Dr. Ii. Ii. Malloy
is at the head of the workers in the in
terest of George W. Cooley. Cooley
doesn't stand ghost of show of being
elected.
1t is learned that the men who are OPP
posed to the reelection of Charles +.
Haney as city clerk are Republican
aldermen who have not been in the
council before. They are chary about
about revealing themselves. The new
Republicans are McAlllSter of the
Tenth; Currier, of the Thirteenth; Nor
deem, of the Seventh; Adams, of the
Fourth; Snyder, of the Second, and Har-
ney, of the Fifth. Not all of these are
against Haney, certainly. Snyder,
Adams and Harvey are almost sure to be
his friends, and Nordeen, too. This leaves
McAllister and CurrIer under suspicion.
Miner is opposed to Haney, SO it's said,
but Miner will cut little figure if the
combine holds. The opposition to
Haney is comparatively insignificant.
| The Democrats have not yet decided TO
oppose him. If they do Z. A. Common
| Will be their candidate. but that is re
mote possibility. Haney is, practically,
the only head OF department who has
no enemies in either wing OF
the city council. He is looked
upon as the best city clerk the
city ever had, and his knowledge Of the
business of the council and the most eX-
pedltious way 10 get through the bust
ness has been Of unreasonable assist
ance to the council.
A few kickers may growl at him, but
he will be reelected. He has earned
reelection, if efficiency be worth con
/ sidering,
