 The political complexion of the in- 1 coming board is republican, there be- | ing sixteen republican members and | eight democrats This ensures the | election of Alderman James H. Mac | Donald to the presidency of the board, | he being the successful nominee of | the republican caucus held several | days ago; also the election of Will | liam H. Ely as corporation counsel, of | Nathan B. Hoyt to the board of public | works, of Joseph E. Hubinger to the | police commission and of William E. | Morgan to the fire board.
 The election of commissioners will | not, however, take place until one week | from tonight, the charter expressly stipulatlng that the elections shall take place on the second Monday evening in January of each year. Notwith standing the fact that the election is only a week distant, the democraticI members of the board of aldermen havel not yet made any nominations for the ommissionerships and it is by no means certain that they will be able Ito get together" and unite on three candidates. Up to the present time five of the eight democratic aldermen have favored slate made up of Clancey for the police commission, Well for the fire board
 The three remaining democratic members of the board will not how ever, support this slate, so 1t is said, | and cannot be whipped into line. This leaves the democrats all at sea over the matter Several futile attempts have been made to hold a caucus for the purpose of placing candidates in and another attempt will be made this week. The date of this attempt has not yet been definitely de- cided upon. It is said, however, that Clancy, Moore and Well cannot be elected and unless the members in decide to support new men, the three disagreeing democratic aldermen will not feel bound to any caucus This is the way the mat ter stands at present.
 The first meeting of the new board 1f councilmen will be held one week rom tonight, when the thirty-six re ,ently elected councilmen will assem- ole and be sworn in.
