will nominate The Mayor and Alder.
men. The Douglas faction ran the
Second Ward during the last cam.
paign. Douglas was on the winning
side In the county fight, while @Dan"
Koran was a warm supporter of the
Raymond county ticket. Douglas
wishes Mr.. Gibbs again elected the
President Of the ward club, while
Koran and Nye want some repre-.
sentative citizen of the ward to have
the place who will have influence
enough to bring the two factions to.
gether before the spring fight.
In the Third Ward the contest has
Perry Hull and cx.Ald. Arthur Dixon
on one side and +. II. Bliss on the
other. Hull blames Aid. Madden
for defeating him in his campaign for
the State Senate when Charles
Crawford, of the Thirty.sccond Ward,
was given the position. Bliss Is the
attorney for Sheriff Gilbert and is
closely identified with the candidacy
Of Aid. Madden.
In a number of other wards there
will he sharp contests on the same
lines. In tho Fifth Ward william
L. Kent will try to crowd out the
followers Of Ernest Magcrstadt; in
the Seventh the fight will be on Aid.
Cooke, and In the West Side wards
there will be a running fire all along
the line.
"The III feeling has begun so early
In the campaign" writes Mr.. Tur.
bish In the Record, shat ! believe
the proper thing for the leaders to
do Is to drop beth OF these warning
candidates and pick up u new man
who will be acceptable to both fac.
lions Of the party. While Aid. Mad.
den has clearly the best of the con.
test, In that he has the Organization
OF the party with him, yet the forces
are SO evenly divided that the fight
may weaken the party. The Repub.
licans believe they have sure thing
next campaign, but events may take
place in the meantime which will
materially alter the conditions which
exist to-day. l believe, unless some
trade Is contaminated Mt once which
will either retire one or both candl.
dates, that the chances for the Re.
publicans In the spring, which now
appear to be strong, will be mate.
rally weakened"
Whatever arrangements the other
fOrty.eIght brewers of Chicago may
make respecting their output and
the price Of their product, one--the
Cooke Brewing Company-announces
Its intention to stay Independent and
regulate Its own affairs. After the
meeting Of the brewers In the Schil.
Ter building, Mr.. Cooke went home
and dictated the following circular to
his customers:
I'VE appeal to you tn stand BY US
In the fight that Is about to be com.
mcnccd against Us by m organized
compact or syndicate OF brewers, to.
gether with some of the independent
ones, to drive us into compact or
agreement with them. Now, II Is
unnecessary for US to tell you what
that means, as you already know
what the results would be. We have
fought them before, and with your
aid we are ready to do IL again.
There Is no question about the re.
suit II you will act as our seconds In
this fight, as you will reap the bene.
hts OF our contest and victory"
Said Mr.. Cooke: 1--WE will have
nothing to do with a combination
with the English companies. 1t now
looks to me as though the other
brewers would be frightened into
line and would sign the new agree.
greement by which price and output
will be regulated; In effect though,
OF course. regard will be had for 10.
gal appearances. We offered to sign
IN agreement by which pure beer
would be insured, but that was re.
jected. Now we will take care of
our trade In our own way. The
English companies are heavily bond.
cd. The Chicago brewerics, for In.
stance, have $3, 1876, 900 OF @ per cent.
bonds, involving, with the cost OF
their London and American directo.
ries, annual charges of some $3.50, 900.
The output is 400, coo barrels, SO here
Is charge OF 90 cents u barrel before
any profit begins for the stock. An
independent brewery like this, with.
out debt and without large charges
for official salaries, ought to be able
to compete with such a concern. We
stayed outside the combinations re.
fore, and can do it again. ! think
the other brewers, however, will
probably come to an agreement and
