Why They GrumbIe.
Another caus, for much grumbling is
tie ba!loting system whereby the polls
are opened at e,eioek aud closed at 10
o'clock, and the compuls ry chairman
snip that each ward must abide by, ac-
ording To the dictstion OF the civy com-
inittee.
The ''kickers" broadly hint that this
method or voting is but farce. a thar
places them as voters in the position of
slaves to he little god who squats him
sef behind the ballot b1x aud who alone
eau have access aud decl re he election.
hsv say, under their breath, whats
the use OF voting for "A ticket when you
clL't tell whether the Votes ar, counted
or no ~
OF course there is no suspicion re-
hscled upon the charm an appointed by
J,e city council-Jf course not-Jut all
SINE the free born. honest, patriotic,
vari-herling De-" ocrats don't like it.
Last year some OF these same geltle-
men-the gentlemen who disapp, owe OF

CO pletely bolted the ticket kinIly fur

well then they were cruelty aud rudely
sat upon and ground into tue dust by the
iron heel of the tyrauicaI city convention
And the other side unieelingly grinned.
A Glance Through the Wards.
This year everything is quiet in the
First ward-so it is sad-but il Mr..
Brennan knows himself it won't be
tonight. Mr.. James McNally, "the

what is said in conventions before the
worlG-will swoop down upon the Fourth
ward and swipe il.
In tho Sixth ward the old chair man,
James 5. Fletcher, has retired aud Will
liam L. Kelley will assume the same
dignity. In the Seventh ward George Il.
Brown will, it Is said, again put on his
fighting jeans and sail In. There are
thers wi.n him but they don't appear on
The surface. witch is quite natural
where Mr. Brown is. Opposing this gem
teman Is ticket headed by the bellicose
Doohan, Byrnes, the willy, aud other
lesser lights such as Lynch, and Kelly,
who don't count much.
In the Ninth ward. Mark Golrick
thinks lie Is just about the right man to
he'd tie ticket and to say "a great deal in
The convention about the glorious Dem
ocracy Of AJwelPs avenue, aud the patri-
otic aims o. the party, and so he of the
GTOCeTIeS hnu meats Will run. InOmaS
A. Cosgrove will be on hand though and

The Glorious Tenth.
Obi but it's the Tenth, the glorious

out of the smoke and dust Of past con-
flicts is the West faction, which glares
dow upon the smaller fry to say 'youse
fellers amt in 1t wild u.s." Tue three
brothers will stand united tonight, for
the ast prod. gal son has cone home,
and NJ name George j. West Will adorn
the t,cket, while the party may be ex-
pected to fail on his neck and weep,
scripturaliy speaking.
The gentlemen who will trail along
hanging To Georges" coat tails are
Frank Dorman. Jonn T.. Fox. the orator
and story teller; James Farrell Michael
Quinn. Thomas l.. B,osn and II. j. Nc
Elroy.

man. They will run Colonel McGann
against the West gang, and then West
will win, just the same.
On the whole, ms the critics say, the
show is good one aud the actors, even
IL they DONE lvok q ute so nice rs "some,"
will play real nice.
