TALK OF THE POLITICIANS.
Announcement Of The Duncan AldeTmalic
Committee FaTOTably Received.


Now-Both Sides Likely to Go Slow
and the Tickets May Not Be An
nounoed Before the End Of the Month.
Several Changes in the Managers Of
Registration
The political pot simmered very quietly
yesterday. While the politicians chatted
considerably among themselves. nothing
really new developed. DR.. Duncan has
not yet written his letter Of acceptance,
but viii probably do so early this week
The Duncan men are beginning 20 fan in
line. as they ind their forces falling in
line.
Unquesuonably the confidence during
the last few days has been largely on the
Myers side. They have talked more freely
Of their candidates chances and have
manifested a willingness to wager consld-
cradle sums OF money on the election. This
is because the supporters Of Mr.. Myers
knew where they were at and the opposi-
ton was in doubt. Now that DR.. Duncan's
friends are beginning to announce them
selves the tables are changing somewhat.
Mr.. Myers has the advantage Of a solidly
organized body Of supporters in the shape
Of the Citizens Club. That this means
great deal is recognized by the Duncan
men, and they recognize the fact that con-
siderable work must be done by them in
the way Of organizing their forces if they
desire success.
1t looks now as II it will be very
pretty fight and one that viii be. to a
large extent, free from personalities. The
leaders Of each side are willing TO confine
their arguments TO the merits Of the two
candidates, and for this reason the record
Of the two gentlemen in their capacity as
aldermen, in which capacity each served
the city for the same length Of time. ten
years. will be largely drawn upon.
The question which is qualified TO give
the city the best business administration
viii be largely discussed and the support-
ers on each side will endeavor TO prove bv
the record Of their candidate in the past.
what may be expected Of him should he be
placed at the head Of the citys affairs.
The committee to select the board OF al
oermen with which DR.. Duncan is to run.
which was announced in yesterdays
Morning News. created a very favorable
impression, and had more effect in unity
ing the Duncan forces than anything
which has yet been done on that side Of
the house. 1t was seen that the commit
tee was representative one and that
the work Of selecting the aldermanic ticket
would not be turned over to any particular
class or clique.
Col. Gordon, the chairman Of the meet
ing which
notices yesterday to the gentlemen named
on the committee notifying them Of their
appointment. AS the notices were ad-
dressed TO the residences Of the members
II Is likely that most OF them did not re-
ceive their notification until last night.
There is little doubt that every member Of
the committee viii serve The committee
VIII be called together some time this
week. 1t is not likely that much will be
done at the first meeting.
Inc Importance OF the aldermanic ticket
IS recognized by each faction, and the Sc
lection Will be made with great deliber-
alton. Each would be glad to know the
ticket Of the other before announcine. its
own For this and other reasons il is
hardly likely that the two tickets will be
announced before the end Of the month.
Several Citizens Club members who were
spoken TO as to when and how the ticket
OF the club would be named professed
Is understood, however, that the selec-
tlon OF the ticket is under consideration
informally, and that the next meeting of
the club win probably be devoted to this
subject. Among those who are most fire.
quently mentioned for places on the ticket
are MAJ. EDWARD karow, Mr.. J. S. Collins,
Mr.. W. J. Watson, Mr.. II. Wilink and Mr..
John J. Carolan
