the political atmosphere is not thoroughly
charged with electricity last week. The seec-
ton Of Colonel Frank F. Olncy for Mayor by the

struggle. by a majority of three over the candidate
OF the sectarian element In the convention. has
greatly simplifed the situation: and the cries OF
'bigotry" which the opposition has raised fail
the ground in the face of the fact that Colonel
Oney was nominated in spite OF the opposition OF
the so-caei patriotic orders. ON the other
hand the fact that the Democrats have with great
unanmity nominated Edwin ID. McGuinness for
Mayor gives the patriotic orders ray of hope
In the direction OF the Democratic party and they
consequently will throw their for Colonel
Oney, although he is in no manner pledged to them
or to their ideas of mixing religion and politics.

sentative of the First Ward and Charles Edward
Paine for city Treasurer as a representative OF the
Fourth Ward. IT Is believed. will harmonic these
hitherto conflicting forces. and increase the Re-
publican majority in both wards The nomination
of Arthur II. Watson Alderman to succeed
Colonel Oncy will still further assist IN producing
harmony In the party.

ing determined upon in Republican wards the
selection Of Colonel Watson to nil the place vacated

were held tho principal excitement being In the
Third Ward. where So votes cast. The Third
ward is hopelcssy Democratic in the ratio of about
five to one. and the Republicans have simply
choice between Democrats. In this they sup
ported the ticket headed by Dennis f. Mccarthy in
the caucus; and that ticket won by virtue of their
votes. Mr. Mccarthy has been member of the
School Committee for n number OF years In the
Tenth Ward the West faction were victorious in

will head an opposition ticket which will have the
support Of the Republicans in the ward. which, like
the Third. Is Overwhelmingly Democratic.
