Political Outlook.
The Tenth Ward has had the reputation
for the last fe;g wears OF being the scene or
hot factional fights every city election.
The rivalry between the Mes5 ah9 ,,, tne
anti West forces has completely obliter-
atcd all other party lines, and this year 1t
looks like a livelier tussle, II possible, Than
ever before. The political cauluron Is
fairly boiling over, ana the eAclte-
ment Is gaining ground daily among those
who make city politics their speclai Dusl-
ness. The West faction have mad IL their
own way up TO date, but the wise ones are
predictinw that the other side viii have
It's innings this year. The main
fight naturally il for the aldermanlc seat.
The present occupant, Ambrose IL. west,
withdraWs this year in favor OF Edward
III. Darcy This is in accordance with the
arrangements made before the last elec-
tom The West ticket Is slated as iol-
lows: Alderman, Edward III. Darcy;
Councilmen, George j. West, y. y. san
Souci, Timothy G. Ryan and william j.
Bean. Against them VIII be pi.t1ea :
ticket made up in this fashion; Alder
man, Colonel j. Ii. McGann; couneAmcn,
VIM. II. Coyill, leader of the republican
element OF the ward and surnamed Nv ill-
lam the Silent; Robert McGuy, tho LABOR
leader; John Mulleda, ex-presIdent OF the
Nolan OF Smiths Hill. There
IS no doubt about the strength
OF both these tickets and there Is ike
wise no doubt that there viii be battle
royal ct the polls. IL is expected that the
auti-Wes or McGann faction, no doubt,
meeting % would hurt their chances
on election day, VIII give
their opponents their own way in the
caucus tonight, and will ran their candl-
dates on nomination paper. The social
istic movement may have some effect on
the result but the feeling is running so
high between the two factions that Me-
Guigan, the candidate for Alderman, VIII
hardly poll as many votes as Jefferson did
In the Congressional election.
