going to be duel between the two regular
organizations. with the various MuGwump
bodies In their appropriate place in the Repub

cracy OF their embarrassing presence.
The Republican Convention at which Mr..
Schieren was nominated was n remarkable
one in many respects. Until fow moments
before the voting began It was supposed that
ex-senator Jacob Worth could control 1t. but
the first roll call showed that the faction led
BY Naval Officer Theodore r. Willis had again
assumed the reins When Mr. Schieren's nom
nation became inevitable one OF tho delegates
made bitter attack upon Mr.. Worth in par
ticuar and political bosses in general and
the Convention broke up Just on tho eve OF
Sunday morning in spirit which APP
parently indicated that tho old faction
al fight in tho Republican ranks is
rs bitter as during the Nathan regime. Mr..
Willis Is greatly elated over his victory. and
Mr. Worth and his friends are already deciar-
ing that in case Mr.. Schieron 10 elected he will
hold the first place in his Cabinet.
Both Mayoralty candidates will take the
stump and enliven the canvass as much as
