GOSSIP OF THE CURB.

There IS no doubt but the Republican
nominee for mayor, Robert Pratt. is
evel-headed man, but 1t is q question
whether he will make good run. GA
the night of the primaries the Republic
can leaders professed to believe that
Boardman was the likelieSt candidate.
What splendid collection OF bric-a-
brac the Republican party has in its
museum! The shelves must be getting
q little overweighted. for every two
years new pieces are added. The late ST
addition of Sevres ware-Messrs. Eustis
and Boardman-will greatly enhance
the value of the collection.
1t is said that Louis Cyr, the cham
pson strong man OF the world. is to show
In Minneapolis some time during the
present month. The Republicans ought
10 engage him to assist IN pulling
through their city ticket. 1t is doubt
full, however, if even this modern
Sampson could pull "forloru hope" to
victory, seeing that he would practi-
ca!ly oe alone.
Aid. Loye managed to secure re.
nomination. He Will no doubt be found
at the ola stand, supplying harnesses
and leather material to the fire depart
ment. as ofyore.
Prof. Dobbyn the PopullSt nominee
for the legislature i'll the Thirty-Fourth
district. has challenged Jacob Stoft and
MIR. Theden, the Democratic nominees,
TO a public debate on political questions
and the issues of the campaign. Messrs.
Stoft and Theden must take into conSid-
GRAFTON. if they accept the challenge,
that Prof. Dobbyn wears beard like
unto that which graced the chin of Sol
ONION. This beard Is capable OF produc-
Ing great amount ofwind, all OF which
will of course enter into the debate.
1t was stated last night that Robert
Pratt is Prohibitionist. If this is
true, ne will not prove a popular candi-
date with the saloon element of the city.
The Democrats of the Fourth judicial
district will meet this morning to nom-
mate four judges. As stated in yesier
days GLOBE, three of them will I'M
doubleday be Judge Frank c. Brooks,
Ben j. Davenport and Weed Munro.
Aid. Woodward insists that he was
defrauded out of the regular nomina-
ton in his ward, the Seventh. He will
take the nomination of the trump con-
vention. and make hustle for the cleo
ton just the same. There is no man in
the ward possessed of more vigor than
Mr.. Woodward, and it will behoove Mr..
Colburn, the regular nominee, to grid
up his loinS for the fray, because there
is no doubt he will have hard fight on
his hands.
Wednesday afternoon there was a
meeting of prominent Fourth ward Re-
publicans in the rooms of the Union
League. The meeting was held after
the aldermanic convention had nOm-
mated Mr. Loye, and the purpose of 1t
was to protest against his nomination.
1t was then and there declared that if
the Democrats put 4 good man in the
field they would vote for him, or, i'll
fact, do anything honorable to defeat
Mr.. Loye. There is but little doubt
that Mr.. Loye will be defeated, and by
an overwhelming majority.
His men packed the primaries in a
shameful manner. At the caucus held
in the city hall there were seventy-nine
votes cast for him, the voters claiming
lodging house. Jack Mcdonald, formerly
a member of the fire department and a
friend of c. b. Shove. who was the
opposing candidate. went to the lodging
house, and found that it was composed
of but three roums and never enjoyed
over three or four dodgers at a time.
Thirty-four men who voted for LOye at
this same caucus claimed to live at the
Market house. The proprietor of the
hotel gave them the lie. He said so far
as he knew not one of them had ever
entered his place, much less lived there.
A hack driver who lives in the Eighth
ward, near Thirty-tirst street. was one
of the men who voted in the caucus. and
did most of the talking.
1t was stated yesterday by Democrats
"who are supposed to KNOW" that
either B. f. Nelson or Capt. o. Z. Mer-
riman would be the Democratic nomi-
nee for mayor. Others maintain that
Capt. Martin will be the man. Either
one or these gentlemen would be hard
to beat.
The village of Excelsior is infested by
gang of hoodlums, and 1t was stated
yesterday that the county authorities
will take some action looking toward
their removal from the Arcadian hamlet
by the lake. During the summer
months these fellows prey on the lake
visitors, and when winter comes they
rob the cottages.
The Democratic congressional and
legislative nominees have begun active
work. Meetings are held in various
parts of the city almost every night oil
the week. Tonight the Democrats Of
the Twelfth ward will meet in Warme
Inns hall, corner of Twenty-seventt
avenue and Twenty-ffth street south
Addresses will be delivered bylOliver I,
Erickson, the congressional nominee
and K. l.. Penny.
