A CROP OF CANDIDATES.
THE MEN WITH POLITICAL BEES IN
THEIR 60YRETS.
WANT TO BE ALDERMEN

dOnOr - oI course Iney are
Looking for Nothing More Sub
stantial-Third Ward Fight.
The aldermanic candidate is always
with the people. Like the flea. he is
felt when he cannot be seen. III spite
of the not weather, the hard times, and,
according to the clergy. the general
laXity of morals. the crop of candidates
promises to be very large one. 1t is
tlourishng now, aid in very short
time will be running amuck. There
will be an extraordinary struggle to
become members of the common coun-
ell this fall, and the query is why Is it
thusly?" The salary of an alderman Is
small, though there are instances where,
small as it Is, it amounts To more than
the recipients ever earned before.
There are supposed to be nu gratis
if the usage OF SO vulgar term be per-
misslble-and to an honest alderman of
course there are none. 1t must be the
honor. then, which attaches itself to the
position; and If it be honor, it is dearly
bought at any price. There promises to
be vigorous fight in nearly every ward
in the city.
In the First ward the chances are that
Joseph Ingenhutt will make try to
succeed himself. The fact of his ten
dering his resignation and having the
felicity Of seeing it rejected will not
stand in the way unless in the mean
time his chances for the legislature as
sumo brighter hue. Jacob Fell, also
a Democrat. is an avowed candidate.
and perhaps Joe will assist him and
perhaps he Will not.
Mr.. Lenhart. the Democrat who was
defeated 10y Aid. Snyder in the Second
ward, will again be put forward, and
probably Aid, Haynes will consent
TO run again. Burke OBrien, the Re-
publican who came within an ace of
beating Snyder. will also present him
self for the ward sutfrageS. But the hot
ght, the bubbling time the battle royal,
will occur in the Third ward, where
the Tammany tigers live. The ward is
the Democratic stronghold of the city.
but there are factions and factions.
President Kiichli, of the council, repre-
SCENTS one faction. the members of
which swear he will return as alder
man. The other faction bis ''agin'' him,
so to speak, and there comes the rub.
Provided he will become a candidate
for mayor the whole ward will support
him, but fer aldermauic honorS there
will be split. The opposition want
William Won der Weyer TO run, and
the Republicans may choose eXAld.
George Durham. AT any rate the lat
ter will try for il, even though one asks
him. A well-known Irish politician of
the ward, in speaking about the matter
yesterday, said:
"O-o-o-h. me bye! There'u be plinty
av fun i'll th' ward. There be those
who'll wish they'd kipt away from the
toght, kin tell ye.''
Aid. Loye will make desperate at
tempt to succeed himself i'll the Fourth
ward, but it is whispered by the dickie
birds that he will lead short and fail
to land" There was some talk of hay
ing Shore. the insurance man, run for
the place, but his boom appears to have
collapsed. The Democrats are endeav-
oring TO prevail upon Henry Morse to
accept the nomination, and in the event
he does neither the LOyes or the Shores
will stand any show.
In the Fifth ward Sam Chase, the at
torneY and vice president of the cele
brated N0Odpecker club, has been
making quiet hustle all by his
'.lonelys," and has managed to lngra-
tiate himself politically to no small
extent. The conservative, not TO
say fossilized. business element
of the ward want Wyman
Elliot. The man whose term expires
from the council from that ward is Dr.
Brazie. He will not want TO go back
again, there is no doubt. The Demo-
cratic aspiront for honors is Maj. Irvine.
the railroad man. In the Sixth ward
Aid. Rand will endeavor to get back
his seat again, but it is conceded that
he will have hard time to secure tile
nomination. In the event he gets the
nomination he will be elected, for the
ward is thoroughly Democratic. There
is considerable opposition 10 the legal
gentleman, and it will be 10 easy task
to overcome it. John Erickson, who
ran last year as The Republican can
didate, will likely try again.
The fight in the Seventh ward will be
a hard one and not over clean. Aid.
Woodward's record in the council has
been such as to smother his constituents
with confidence, and, besides. he has
Aid. Nordeen. his colleague, and several
candidates arrayed in battle peIt"
against him. There are two or three
candidates i'll the field, including Mr.
Shirley, the agent for the Northern Pa
chic Express company. There will no
doubt be a lot of mud Singing in the
ward, and it must needs be SmoDth
man who will escape being besmirched.
In the Eighth ward Frank HeyW ood
Will beNpltted against Aid. Flanders s, but
he Is not considered strong man. Aid.
Flanders, however, is unpopular in his
own ward. The Democrats nave agreed
Oh no man as yet.
AID. Mcclure will endeavor to be sent
han ha hIIt
Rhode will make fight for the nomina-
ton against him. Inc chances are that
III The Tenth Aid. Schwartz will be re-
nominated. Tie Republican candidate
up there will be John West. eX-Superin-
tendent of the WOrkhouSe. Aid. Lackey,
i'll spite of his fondness OF railroad peo-
pie, will probably be renominated by
the Eleventh ward Democrats. The
Republican candidates are w. Y. Hicks,
the druggist; eX-Ald. j. W. Phillips
and MIR. Carroll, tie fuel dealer. In the
Twelfth ward there Is something OF a
complication. Two aldermen are to be
elected, one for two and the other tor
Tour years. Aid. Peterson is acceptable
in some ways, but it is agreed that he is
too inactive. The opposition to Aid
Rollins Is outspoken i'll many quarters,
anu yet both gentlemen are liable to be
renomiDated. The chances are that
John u. SWenSon, the SalOOnkeeper, will
De.put up for PeterSon'S place. and eX-
Representative S. A. StocKwell for Rol-
Inns place.
In the Thirteenth ward there are a
dozen or more candidates. LII fact lhe

record lii the council, but many of his
constituents favor his retirement
