the bad blood is in the belligerent eyes
of the Republican worshIperJ at Mr..
Petscl's shrine. lie Is TOO good man
to be visited 10y such plague. Should
ne get the nomination, his friends
sincerely hope he will be able to effect
uaily squelch the cackleTs, and there is
no doubt he will get tie cordial support
of united and harmonious Democracy.
lie Is capable and patriotic, but how can
a Democrat succeed upon the certihcate
Of Republican scbemers? There is an
ulteriOr motive behind every word that
appears in the Republican organs. Be
ware!
Although Col. Kiefer has actually
Withdrawn his name from the canvass,
owing to the death Of his wife, as has
been related, there are plenty OF young
Republicans who offered 10 make
wagers that he viii be the nom
inee tomorrow. "lf 1t comes unan-
imOusly Col. Kiefer will accept" That
was the declaration. Then he will
keep quiet and we will do the TustlinG
for him. lie has been our choice
all along" pursued the Jealous
young politician, ''aHd we will
not submit TO the declination."
With all this feryor, Col. Kiefer will
not run. There can be nothing more
certain In Specializing upon future
events. II would be an extremely in
delicate thing for him to do. and the
public would be dumbfounded. Col.
Kicfer is sensible OF the lmproprlety,
and he told a delegation Of German
friends who called upon him Yesterday
that he made up his mind positively
when his wife died 10 keep out OF pol
tics tins year So the convention can nom
mate him If 1t pleases. it will make no
difference. Col Wright is the only
hope of the party.

1t IS pitifuli Because no prohibition
judges were appointed has thrown the
Republican heelers into such an abject
case Of melanchOlia that much valuable
campaign work Is being overlooked. IL
is not the duty OF Democrats TO point To
those facts In detail, and they sit quiet
" by and watch the series OF Dlunders
with peculiar relish
~i-
The Republicans are nothing II not
''chcstnulty." There has not been po-
litical campaign "within the memory Of
the oldest inhaOitant" that has not been
IDade picturesque by the cry OF fraudu-
lent registration. When viii the public
cease to submit to the outrage and de-
mand that no such allegations shall be
made without charges and specifica-
tiOns?

Hans p. Jansen Is the one ex cepti0n

The Republicans have an interesting
and possible internecine fight on In
the aristOcratic Seventh ward. 1t is a
triangular affair. and promises to stir
up such a rumpuS in Turner hall to-
morrow that the effects will he abiding.
Three ambitious and aspiring young
Republicans are angling for the alder
manic nomination. Fred lngersoll has
slightly the best of the strug-
gle, for he has the peculiar
prestige that goes labeled "Cabal
chOice.' lie was loudly talked up as
an aSprant for mayor earlier IN the
canvass, but he contents himself now
with lower place on the ticket His
rivals are James A. Schoonmaker and
5. Percy Crosby. Schoonmaker has
has served as associate municipal Judge
and Crosby is member OF the Ramsey
county bar. Each IS desperately in
earnest, and each swings menaclng
cudgel, and each will take his
cudgel into the nominating convention.
They threaten TO run Independent If
not nominated. and it is rumored that
the requisite number OF citizens names
To the necessary petition to be fled with
the city clerk will be ready tomorrow
evening. The back end of the ward is
pronounced for Schoonmaker, while
the balance seems to be pretty
evenly divided between Crosby and
Ingersoll. The battle will be
watched with interest at the
primaries this evening. In striking con-
trast is the candidacy of Capt }. G.
Wall. The Democrats are unanimous
i'm prOnOuncing for him, and late last
evening party Of enthusiastic Seventh
ward Democrats informed the GLOBE
that every precinct in the ward will
elect Wall delegates to the convention.

The primary elections Of both the
Democratic and Republican parties Will
be held this evening between the hours
of and o'clock. 1t is hoped that
these caucuses will be generally at
tended 10 the end that the city conYen-
tons he as representative as possible.
This Is especially true of the Demo
Gratis. None of the candidates care for a
nomination unless they feel assured
that they are the choice of the majority
Of hA a iC n
victory so sweeping in the city that the
slanderous assaults Of the Republican
press will suffer once more an abject
rebuke. But they are accustomed to Ii,
that humiliation is an Impossible pang.

Mr.. Moore is making lively hustle
for the Republican nomination for
alderman in the Third ward. He has
an insane idea that he can defeat Aid.
Coney, and also that he can get a much
heavier vote than Charley Johnson,
who once had race with the popular
alderman and was numerically de-
feated. Moore will likely get the nomi-
nation, for Charley johnson is out of
politics this year.

a deal of shoe leather putting up fences
so he will get Turner hall iudorse-

anxious seat however. He is content
to let the Republicans indorse or put up
q new man entirely.

NJ. J.. DAILY is rustling among his
friends in the Fifth ward with view to
capturing the delegation this evening.
He wants the Republicans to indorse
the action of the cabal. He has an idea
that AssemOleyman McNamee isn't in

A lively fight is promised in the Re-
