4
ton county, favors a three-months' ses-
sion of the Legislature, with little legisa-
tion but the chances are that this pro-
gramme will receive rough clout in the

taken, must rest squarely and fairly on Its
own merits, and not rely for success
simply upon the fact that the next con-
gress will have large Republican plur-
| ality.
The local aldermanic campaign in the
Eighth ward is gradually beginning to as.
sumo interesting aspects The fight al
this time looks as If 1t would develop into
battle royal between Alderman Fitzsim.
mons, who will be candidate for re-elec'
ton, and Adjutant w. s. Millar, who viii
in all probability be the opposing Repub'
lican nominee. The closeness Of the ward
| politically, would, 1t is believed, be more
than offset by the large personal popu'
larity of Mr.. Mlllar, who while polling the
normal Republican strength would also
| cut largely into the Democratic vote. Jr
any event, the chances favor brisk and
exciting contest, with the possibility of 9
large poll for a spring election.
