REPUBLICANS ARE ACTIVE.
MANY CANDIDATES FOR THE sEv-
 ERAL POLITICAL OFFICES.

Men Who Are montionou H"' e'" se'"'- Couamissionershipa, Presidents or the Court of Common Council and Other PIaoes-second Wardsra Alert.
 Already the politicians of both par ties, or the politicians that are left in the democratic party, are actively en- gagged in hustiing for the commission erships and other political plums which will fall during the next few months The principal topic of discussion at present Is the makeup of the next boards of commissioners. The terms of six commissioners expire February l, 1895, and already there are any quanti- ty of candidates in the field looking for their places. The several commis- sioners whose terms expire are Brown, rep., and Maley, dem., of the board of public works: Hum, rep, and Clancey, dem., of the police board, and Stan nard, rep, and Casariego, dem.. of the board of fire commissioners.
 The principal contest from the re- publican side of the house Is over the police commisslonership. Already there are at least three candidates in the field for Commissioner Hunn's place, even though at present 1t is by no means certain that Hum will not be +N to three most prominently mentioned are Alderman Lowe of the Second ward, Joseph E. Hubinger of the Tenth ward and ex-Councilman Shaw of the Firth ward. Others who have also been named in connection with the office are Alderman Skiff of the First ward. and Alderman Morgan of the Eleventh ward. At present it is problematioal who will succeed in carrying off the coveted plum.
 A prominent republican politician said yesterday that in his opinion Hu- binger would be the fortunate man in the event of Commissioner Hum de- clining a renomination. Tn my opin- ion," said he, "Mr. Hubinger would make an ideal member of the board of police commissioners. He is clean, honest and upright business man, and one who would be just the right man in the right place. He is in no sense politician, and if elected to membership on that commission would tend to eradicate from the police department everything of the nature of political pull. In reference to the other candi- dates for the office they are all good men, but 1t does seem to me that ex- Councilman Shaw ought not to be look ing for the place, if the statement that has been made to me is true, namely, that at the recent. city election he was working hard for Sargent, and did all in his power to secure his reelection"
 Commissioner Clancy is working hard on the democratic side of the house to succeed himself, and may be successful, although a strong opposi- tion has sprung up against him among the members of his own party.
 For fire commissioners the candidates already in the field are said to be AL
 
 missioner David H. Clark, ex-Captain Sucher, Commissioner Loren H. Stan nard, A. s. Ostrander and Joseph Kegelmeyer of the Ninth ward.
 For the road commission many are anxious that Reuben H. Brown should whether he would be willing to stand or not in view of the fact that he has but recently been elected a member of the board of selectmen. On the demo- cratic side of the house Commissioner Maley is anxious to succeed himself, but is being closely pressed by Alder man John H. Moore and Alderman n Francis Foley. On the republican side of the house, in the evnt of Comms- sioner Browns declinatlon to again serve the office may go to William E.. Preston of the Eleventh ward, or to Alderman Hitler or Fred B. Farms worth, though the latter is said to be averse to serving on city commissions.
 The republican candidates for presi- dent of the board of aldermen are James H. Macdonald and Alderman Blakeslee of the Second ward. For presidency of the board of councilmen Charles D. Nichol of the First ward, Rufus s. Pickett of the Second ward, and Robert J. Morehead of the Fourth ward are most prominently mentioned. As the court of common council is overwhelmingly republican there are practically no democratic candidates for the presidency of either board
 The Second ward is extremely modest in the number of candidates it has put forward for the several offices in the gift of the republican party, and as a well known republican leader said yes- terday, Tt might be good idea to turn the whole city hall over to the Second warders; already it has candi- dates in the field for all the commits sionerships, in addition to the hold over representatives it has on the present boards, candidate for the presidency of the. board of aldermen. another for the presidency of the board of councilmen.t and to sum it all up. the ward has practically a candidate for every office to be filed"
