 1'he democratic members of the court of common council made no att tempt to hold caucus yesterday. but have decided to hold the caucuses this evening. The aldermanic caucus will be held in the aldermens chamber at l7 o'clock and the councilmanio caucus in the chamber of the board of coun- cilmen at 730 o'clock.
 | At the aldermanic caucus an atternpt l will be made to select three candidates for the police, public works and fire commissioners. An attempt will be made to compel the democratic alder- men to accept the slate as proposed by five aldermen. This slate Is made up as follows: John Clancey for the police commission, Charles l.. Veil for the fire commission and John H. Moore for the board of public works
 It is said, however, that this com- | bination will not be successful, owing to the fact that under no circumstances
 
 nor support the slate Within the past day or two a number of new candidates have cropped out for the several com. missions, but it is not believed that any of them will develop sufficient strength in the caucus to secure the | nomination. In this event the demos crats will go into the meeting of the board of aldermen without any nonni- | nees.
 At the councilmanic caucus candi- dates will be nominated for president of the board, member of the board of t1nance page and assistant city clerk. Edward A. Rourke will probably be the candidate for member of the board of finance Alfred Clark for page and Sylvester Chase for assistant city clerk. The democrats have not decided upon their candidate for president of the board, but as the councilmanic board is overwhelmingly republican, it doesn't make a great deal of difference, as it is more than probable that not one of their candidates will be elected.
 The board of aldermen will meet to~ night and elect the several commis- sioners. Who the democrats will elect is uncertain, nor is it by any means certain that they will elect anyone. In fact the present indications are ow- ing to the lack of harmony in the demo- cratic ranks, the two republicans may be elected members of each board. The republican commissioners certain to be elected are Joseph F. Hubfnger to the police board, Nathan B. Hoyt to board of public works and William E. Mor- gan to the fire board. It is also ex- pected that at to-night's meeting Mayor Hendrick will announce the aldermanic portion of the joint standing commits tees.
 The first meeting tof the recently elected board of corncilmen will be held this evening. At this meeting, after the new f1edged councilmen have been sworn in, Councilman Nicoll of the First ward will be elected presi- dent of the board, William H, Ely corporation counsel Edward A. Street assistant city clerk, James D. Dewell. jr member of the board of financey and Hawley w. Lincoln page. Presi- dent Nicoll will also announce tha councilman part of the joint standing committees.

Pickett and Harry D. Grinnell of the Second ward; John J. Burns, Joseph H. Uilman and Daniel Leary of the Third ward; John w. Scobie, Frederick E. Whitaker and Robert J.
