And They Did 1t in the Good Old Pro-
gramme Way.
Delegates Who VIII Tonight Nomt
nate Republican Candidates for
the City Offices.

which the primary WAS cohudo'0u' ~
primaries always are, first-class pooy Oh
delegates has been elected to the conVen-
ton. In most cases those chosen are men
fairly representing their constituency and
we believe that majority of them are
entirely unpledged. This is evidenced
by the fact that no one seems able TO pre-
dict who will be nominated for Mayor
even.
On Saturday night and yesterday
speculation was rife in all quarters on
this point, and there was wide difier-
ence of opinion. There were those who
believed that J. w. Wilson would GER
tainly receive the nomination and others
equally certain that William Beck man
would be selected. Friends Of NJ. ). Dill
man were still urging his name though
1t is said he has positively declined to run.
On Friday night 1t was announced that
J. E. Terry had agreed to accept the
nomination il it was rendered hlm, ana
his friends are very active Ill putting hlm
forward. John We'll Is also spoken OF,
and so is Joseph Steffens. 1t Is hkely,
however, that the fight lies between
Beckman, Wilson and Terry.
There is a noticeable feature IN every
discussion of the question. and that is that
every one is saying, 1--WE have got TO put up
a strong man to beat Steinman," 1t being
taken for granted that the present Mayor
will receive the nomination from the
Democrats.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Beckman
would not accept the nomination, but
Yesterday some of his friends communl-
Gated with him at Bartlett Springs, and
he replied that he would acceptit. There
fore his name will be placed before the
convention.
For the other offices there is a host Of
candidates, with the exception Of City
Auditor. No one seems to be opposing
Captain J. d. Young for that office.
For City Attorney the names OF Luke
Howe w. A. Anderson, Jay X. Brown
and J. Frank Brown are prominent.
Ed II. Mckee, the present City Col
lector, is again q candidate for that Office.
Charles Robertson, Ed Roeder and
Charles Thompson are also candidates.
The present School Directors, in the
wards where vacancies occur, are all can
didates for denomination.
Candidates for Trustee in the different
wards are keeping very quiet.
For Treasurer j. y. Porter, J. Z. Mills,
NJ. A. Howard and e. a. Crouch are
mentioned.
The offices to be filled at the coming
are: Mayor, Auditor and Assessor,
Treasurer, Collector, City Attorney. tour
Truste ess-one each in the Second. Fourth.
Sixth and Eighth Wards-and five
School Directors. These latter are to be
selected to represent the First, Third,
Filth, Seventh and Ninth Wards.
There is no lack of candidates for most
of the offices TO be hlled. Several of
those that have been prominently spoken
OF in connection with the various posi-
tions have stated that they are not aspir-
ants of office.
There were opposition tickets in most
of the wards, but they did not have much
more chance than the proyerbial clawless
cat would have in hades.
In the First and Second Wards there
were no contests. In the Third the regu-
lar ticket received 163 votes TO q for the
opposition.
In the Fourth, where Committeeman
Cavanaugh resides, the regulars polled
2S2 to 70 for their opponents.
There were three tickets in the Fifth
Ward-the regular, the opposition, and
what was called the Terry ticket. The
first received 189. the second 81, and the
latter 10.
In the Sixth Ward the regular ticket
polled 203 votes and the other 81.
The regular ticket in the Seventh Ward
is credited with 10 against 10 for the op-
position.
There WAS but one ticket in the Eighth
Ward, and it polIed SO votes.
In the Ninth the Frost ticket had a
pretty close call. 1t received "A votes to
20 for the other.
