the 0emOCr0C1C nOmlnaElOn TOT AlQ6fmAu the names of Councilman Hoadley and John Barlow of Bristol street are mention ed. Councilman HQadley will, it Is said, decline to be candidate for aldermanic honors, in which event the nomination will go to MT. Barlow.
 In that stronghold of republieanism, the tenth ward, there is absolutely no hope for democratic candidate. and in consequence there Is almost no one looking for the empty honor conveyed by nomination in this ward. In the republican circle every thing is different. There several candi dates for aldermanic honors and any num- | Der for seats in the councilmanie chamber. | The slate has, however, practically been made out as follows: For alderman, Cap tain c. 0. Ford, and for councils. 0. M. 1 Fabrique, Clarence W. Clark and F. A. Southworth. Captain Ford is too well known to the residents of the ward to re- quire any introduction here. MT. Fabrique is at present 8 member of the board of councilmen, and while he has been mem Der of that body has made an envtable record for himself. He has at all times been alert and wide awake to the in- terests of the ward he represents, and has during his one years service succeeded in securing many improvements in the ward. Mr. Clark is hustling young business man of this city. He is prominent mem- ber of the Young Mems Republican club, and has been 8 candidate for the city shrievalty. He is firm and progressive in his ideas and, if elected, will be one of the best men in councils. The candidate for | third place on the ticket, MT. Southworth, | is we'll known newspaper man, assigned l to city hall matters, and having been | constant attendant at the meetings of the ! court of common council for the past five ! years Ia thoroughly conversant with all | matters pertaining to municipal govern | ment. In addition to these are mentioned | the names of Henry F. Reyes for the alder
 manic beard and s. F. Punderson, one of
 the present incumbents for councils.
 In the Eleventh ward there will also be a dem., the present alderman, will retire af
 ter six yesrs' service, as he positively de-
 clines a renomination. In this ward there
 are excellent prospects for the election of
 . republican alderman to succeed him. Sev
 eral names have been mentioned in this
 connection, among them being that of
 Samuel F. Hemingway. Itis believed that
 should the latter consent to go before the
 people he would poll the strongest vote in
 the ward. In democratic circles J. P. Lap-
 ders and James F. MoMahon are named for
 Alderman Callahan's chair.
 | In the Twelfth ward there are 8 number
 of candidates from both the republican and
 democratic parties for the office of alder
 man. The republicans have not yet, 1t is
 said, decided upon any one candidate, but
 the democrats will, 1t is believed, again
 center their hopes upon their present
 champion, Alderman Walter J. Connor. | UNITED WORKERS.

Tin colonel, with views of dynamite before hi excited imagination, replied with as muol blandness as possible, saying that h. 3 ! guessed he did remember and would ste] l into his adjoining office to get the book :: | The crank smiled and said he thought th colonel would remember. Colonel Steven son fled to the Windsor botel and tele phoned for the police.- When the polio I got to the coloners office thsrs was n' trace of the crank.
