POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Mrs. Eugenia A. Wheeler Golf, the
euphoniously -named and much-nom-
mated candidate for the school board,
isn't sure whether she is in favor of the
continuance of DR.. Jordan as superln-
tendent or not, and comes out i'll card
TO say she is not ready to pledge her
self. From all appearances DIR. Martha
Ripley'S candidate needn't give hers elf
much concern about the superintendent
or. indeed, about anything connected
with the public schools. A few women
forced her nomination through the
woman's council. They then posted Off
to the Populist convention, which met
the same day. and worked the thing
there. They afterwards piled one or
two members of the Democratic COM
mittee and succ eeded III pulling the
wool over their eyes sufficiently to force
a nomination there. But with all these
nominations there is Il sad lack of pop
ular strength behind them.
The woman's council Is by no means
unanimous or enthusiastic. The maya
zine publication has chilled the ardor of
the popularity. And as for the Demo-
cratic committee, it is now generally
regarded that it acted wholly beyond its
powers. That committee had authority
to select candidates only who were
Democrats. When il ignored this duty
and put on Republican its act can be
deemed only as advisory and not obli-
gatory. The nationaliues as rule
make up largely the Democratic vote,
I'll q. ba
cause of the gentle Eugenia. Thus it
is that person may be candidate upon
many tickets and i'll not be the candi-
date of any. The chances seem to be
by large odds in faver of the election of
Mr.. JauEey and either DR.. Quinby or
Rev. Gjertsen to ill the two vacancies.
The Franco American Republican
league held well attended meeting
yesterday afternoon at Thibodeau's
hall, Central avenue. On behalf of E.
r. LerouX, the well known French
newspaper man and campaign speaker,
challenge was issued TO o. Savard, of
st. Paul. for public debate to occur on
Nov. +, at the same nall. 1t appears
that meeting was held in New Canada
a week ago yesterday. Among the
speakers was Mr.. Leroux. He pro-
pounded number of questions to Mr.
Sayard, which lie says he could not an
swer, aud yet the papers came out the
following morning, and claimed that he
uerouX) was routed and that Savard
was the victor in the debate. Mr..
LerOuX wants a chance to show that he
is the best man. hence the challenge.
a member of the incorporated
Tammany society had this to say yes
terday: "In looking over the names Of
the executive committee of the Tam
many society, which organized in Hunts
hall last week for the purpose of sup
porting Kiichli for the senate, | find
that of the entire committee of forty
eight only seven of them ever belonged
to the original Tammany organization
of the Third ward. SIX out of the sew
Ell were expelled, and joined the Third
Ward Sucial club eight months ago.
For instance, John Larson is employed
in the city water works department.; j.
S. Kennedy Is running Tor position
there; Peter Jeub is an assistant build
ing Inspector; Thomas w. Sullivan is
employed in repairing city water and
dump carts; j. Mccarthy is street
sprinkler; J. Carpenter and Louis b.
dan are the only two Tammany men,
beers who left the club in good standing.
One of these, Mr.. Bodun, denies that
he has Joined the new organization.
Sullivan was expelled for refusing to
turn over the associations funds. 1t is
apparent to every one why these men
are so anxious to support Kiichli. They
