Have Treated 8im sight and Doesn't
Feel Under Obligations TO Them-rhe
Aldermen's Friends Consider
Worried over the, Majors Position.

Stay II he Only Gets His Own Vote.
Maj. Sohwarzs position in the mayoralty
hght, as defined in yesterdays MORNING
News, from the major himself, did not
please Alderman Harm MS friends little
bit. The fact that Mai. Schwarz, after ali,
had not promised his support to the Har-
mon side did not strike them forcibly until
che MORNING NEWS opened their eyes, and
then il fell heavily upon them.
Friends Of Alderman Harmon besought
Mai Schwarz 70 come out squarely in sup
port of the opposition to Mayor Melon
ough, but the major smiled blandly and re-
ferred them to his brief statement about
keeping out Of the triangular fight. No
sophistry or argument could in
ducs Mai Schwarz to proclaim him
self q Harmon man, and this is
worrying the Harmonites considerably. for
they fear il means that he will lay back aud
do nothing for Alderman Harmon, W hich
would do that gentleman almost as much
injury as IL Mai Schwerz should support
Mayor McDonongh.
NOT FAIRLY TREATED.
Maj. Schwarz does not feel that he has
been fairly treated by Alderman Harmon
and his friends He considers himself as
baving been practically kicked out with~
out consideration, and naturally he feels Of
Tended and not averse to letting somebody

foot In return. As Maj Schwarz expresses
IL himself: 81 have been pushed against
wall and guess l had better stay close

Mayor McDonough was yesterday re-
minded that if be retired from the race Mai.
Sohwarz would run against Alderman Har-
man. "Well, / am frank enough to say"
remarked Mayor McDonough, "that il 1
was out Of the race l would work for Mai.
SchwarE against Alderman Harmon; but
90 use Alderman Harmon's statement, am
going TO stay in the race IL only get one
vote and that vote ls my own"
KICKING ON THE REGISTRATION.
Kicking still continues on the part of
Alderman Harmon's friends against the
conduct OF the city registration, and thew
are anxiously awaiting Judge Falligantis
decision In the Walters mandamus case to-
morrow afternoon. Tax Collector Nc
Gowan says he does not intend to intimate
that the failure to make the reg
istration books copies of his tax books
was Intentional, but it is fact that quite
number Of errors must have been made.
de was worried again yesterday by voters
for certificates because their names either
did not appear on the registrars books or
were spelled wrong. One case he partiou-
larly noticed, and sent a clerk with the
party to see that he was allowed to qualify.
The mans first name is Joseph and has al
ways been 80 entered in the tax books, but
through some oversight tt went down on
the registrars book with a single initial let
ser J. When he sought registration be was
refused, because he gave bis name as
Joseph.
About 5000 voters had qualified up to
