TIE Republican central committee wss
busy yesterday msking preparations for
carrying out the provisions OF the Law.
The judges ~ the various polling places
were carefully instructed in the law, and
any one attempting 90 violate its pro-
visions will be promptly prosecuted. The
question ss to ~ho is q Republican was
gone over very carefully. and IL was de-
eided tha. mans intention TO vote the
Republican tieke. must have been declared
and male known 10 others. Ia other
words. Democratic heelers cannot appear
at the polls and say that they intend TO
vote the Republican ticket and on the
strength of that intention claim the priv
iege Of voting ut the primary. Some better
evidence OF their RepHblieanism must he
addueed than such . late expression of
their sentiments.

Around Democratic headquarters in the
Occidental block yesterday there was
crowd Of turned-down city hall politicians
and haneers-on. Conspicuous among
these were ex-Members of the Board of
Public Works Wolfe and Cochran. A. G.
Lane and John Y. Terry. While the
hangers-on we're playing cards inside the
more active politicians were holding whis-
pered consultations in groups in the CORR
dor. Among these the word was passed
around that John Collins wanted Wolfe
nominated for mayor. ana no sooner was
the suggestion made by any one seemingly
close To the throne than its wisdom was
heartily scquiesced in, aud as the word
was passed along the line there was much
suppressed enthusiasm. IL vas urged that
Wolfe had been msrtyred, that no other
man in tho party had shown the boldness,
the personal force and capacity Tor dealing
with the masses that Wolfe had. 1t was
stated that by has record in the board OF
puhlic works he had endeared himself to
che iaboring man. and that political JUS
tiee demanded that he should be yindi-
Gated by the party for whose heneti. he
had willingly lost his political head. The
feeling thus aroused for him among the
stalwarts Of Democracy, the workers who
feel that their services would be well re
wafde3 IN case of success, aud among all
those whose eovetous eyes are fastened
on the only Democratic barrel likely TO be
tapped in this campaign. is sufficient to
nominate Mr.. Wolfe were the convention
to be Aeld tomorrow.
Still there are lsw not made Of the out

b. relied on as party men, have 50 far been
