 The democratic primaries are near a
 hand; sound the tocsin. Already the host . are marshslling for the fray, and war ant f scalps are the talk, especially in ths Third
 Fifth and Sixth wards. Some old score ? ! are to be settled and some claims estab lished if possible.
 The Seventh ward will bs sgain as usus battle-ground for the faithful. The fgh l 1 there will be the most hotly contested 0
 any in the big democratic wards. Tn ! fight thers over the city ticket will be be a tween John Bescher, the present alderman
 and John Shanley, the Grand avenue dr T l goods merchant.
 MT. Shanley is looked upon as the prot y able winner. Hs is backed by the Jeffel l son club, Alderman Moore, Superintendent t of Parks Kelly and a host of others. Tn
 St. Pstrick's T. A. B. are also lined agains
 l Beecher on the ground that he is saloo keeper.
 2 Beecher, however, is a popular man an has very strong following among th ! workinsmen. He is also recommended b :. ! County Commissioner Reynolds, Sheri V O'Keefe and several of the older wa ! horses.
 The Twelfth ward will be the scene C another battle. Here the fight will be fo
 "blood." Ex-Councilman A. K. Brown
 receiving the backing of the anti -Doyl 0 faction. He will be opposed by Alderma s | Walter Connors, who desires reelection
 Alderman Connors Is making strong car
 vsss, and 1t is thought that he will wir r 1 He will not have a walk over, though. t The Eleventh ward battle has not bee : very thoroughly commenced. James I 8 Landers. registrar of the ward, is lookin :. for the aldermanic nomination. He is oI a l posed by James P. McMahon. McMaho
 has the backing of Alderman Callahan, wh 7 | The genial "Tim" is becoming a back nun :. Der in that ward, and it is doubtful is |
 can rally the clans or sound the slogan S of yore.
 @ In the Third ward the expedition 8 James E. McGann's candidate, P. Moran, l l completely demoraiized by the fall of il 8 candidate, Mcfarland. McGann will COT
 t,nus to rule the roost there for some tim'
 Even if McPartland had not fallen he woul :, have been defeated. McGann is "Kip Connaught man" and what he says Is den y ocratic primary law.
 6 The Clancy faction will win in th ! ard io hat io Hnn ( J. the "old mems faction"
 John A. DoolIttle, son of State Attorne
 Hilton E. Doolittle, is rather previous i < the Eighth ward. His friends expect thu
 he will receive the nomination and electio g and that he will then be elected police con l. missioner to succeed F. R. Andrew, wh @ retirss at the expiration of his term. s the first place. Mir. Doolittle will be oppose n by Attorney Frank H. Kelly. If he su' @ ceeds in defeating MT. Kelly he will ur
 doubtedly be defeated at the general ele
 tion.
 The democrats in the Ninth ward do nc
 seem to be at all organized for work. Wh
 their candidate will be has not yet aI l. peared. The other wards are in the sam j. general way with the exception of the Eft V and Sixth.

 Q The German-American Cleveland clu
 have issued a circular stating that Charle J. Henze, of the firm of Cox & Henze, g their candidate for the office of police con t missioner. MT. Henze is very popular an g has influential political backing. He wi g undoubtedly make strong fight for th @ office.
 : In the Sixth ward there is trianguls = fight. Alderman Veil, who was elected t r fill out the unexpired term of Danial Gi , huly, is one of the candidates. He is OF B posed by CouncilmanGoggins and and Joh
 P. Halle. The chances are that Hall vii r ! come out the winner.
