 FIRST WARD CAUCUS. | The First ward caucus held last even- ing in Steinert hall was the largest at- tended of any caucus in, that ward for many years. The hall was packed and many could not squeeze in. $. s. Thompson was chairman and A. Maxcy Hitler secretary. The voting was done from the polling lists and as each man voted his name was looked up in the lists. If it failed to appear there and he could give no good proof of being a republican voter of the First ward his vote was not accepted Some amuse- ment was caused by two well known democrats attempting to cast a ballot. They were, however, prevented from doing so. The principal contest was between Charles E. Nicoll and Freder- ick w. Skiff Out of the 1SS votes cast MT. Nicoll received 10S and MT. Skiff 76, the former being thereby nominated. For first councilman Edward c. Car rington was nominated by A. Maxcy Hitler and was unanimously nominated l N. A. Fullerton and Frank T.
