A POSSIBBE MISCARRIAGE.
There is Nothing so Certain as
 Uncertainty.
The Plan of the Gang Said to Be Failing to Pieces-Names of
 New Mayoralty Possibilities

No "surething" layout was ever be fore invested with so much uncertainty as the campaign plan of the Gazette bosses. Events of the past three days have made them afraid of the appara- tus; they don't know whether the ma chine will work at all, and if so they are not sure it will not work to their disadvantage.
 In the first place as TIE REPUBLICAN has before shown the delegation se- lected by the bosses was chosen mainly Tor its availability. Just such dele gatlon as the bosses wanted could not be chosen. It WAS necessary to select some men whom they did not want and some men who were doubtful in orde r that the tools of the ring might be safely concealed. The Gazette and the gang naturally expected fight within the delegation but they hoped with their tools and with what they could the convention.
 This plan has been exposed; the doubtful element is becoming arrayed against the bosses, who fear that they have turned up on the minority side. They also fear that since the scheme has been unveiled the result will be the same as year ago. Therefore, there is division in the ring. The more timid mem bers want to let the scheme go by default. They say that a failure of their plans will be less disastrous than the defeat of the party. Other mem- bers who have everything to gain by the success of the scheme and nothing to gain by the success of the party, in sist on the original program and are trying hard to screw up the weakening courage of the other conspirators.
 This is why the ''sure thing" is not sure thing and why the choice of ring ticket next Saturday is only proble- nautical.
 Should the plan carry, McNeill will be nominated for mayor. and Czar- nowski for treasurer, but several con- fusing stories of new candidates have been put in circulation; some of them evidently for the purpose of throwing cloud about the situation. Beside the candidates whose names have become familiar by repetition, yesterday it was reported that friends of Frank Cox, Jos. Campbell and John Burger were trying to secure the mayoraltv nomi- nation
 The cloud of candidates for the office of city marshal has taken distinguish able shape or four distinguishable shapes, James Blankenship. Andy Thomas, Jos. Wilson and Thoman New cum.
 For city treasurer only two persons are prominently named, Frank Czar- nowski and c. B. Ming. John Hickey is more frequently mentioned for tax collector and assessor though it is said there are really more candidates for thls office than any other on the ticket
 It is believed that James Gibson will be nominated for alderman from the Second ward unless McNeil is beaten for mayor in which case he will try to hold his old place. The openly named candidates from the Fourth ward are A. E. Cobb, J. D. Reed and c. F. Leonard

Col. Poston was robbed about one o'clock yesterday morning of valua ble watch and small sum of money. He arrived the day before from Yuma and took lodgings at the Lemon hotel. He became restless after retiring and went out doors without dressing. He walked some distance from the house and re- mained away perhaps fifteen minutes. When he returned to his room and thinking to see what time It was ob- served that his watch was not on the table where he left it on retiring. A further investigation of his trousers pockets showed that they had also been rihed.

McLaren Was Previous.

The case of Van Johnson for disturb ance of the peace by fighting last Sat. urday night was tried before Justice Johnstone yesterday afternoon and the defendant was discharged. The chiel witness was George McLaren who was also engaged in the fight and who the day before pied guilty to similar charge and was fined $5. McLaren ad- mitted having smashed Johnson in the face on the theory that he is three times armed who gets his blow in first. The contusions and discolorations sub sequently made upon his face by John- son the court held could not be taken as evidence of Johnson's misconduct since they were natural sequences of McLaren's first blow.
