the democrats and populists was carried
out to-day on the plan outlined in this
mornings STANDARD, and the greatly de-
sired citizens ticket became an accom-
plished fact. The city hall was crowded
with populists and democrats and lawyers
from early this morning until the closing
this evening. The two city central COM
miftees were almost continually in session,
and City Clerk Irvine was the
busiest man in town. The with
drawals commenced coming in before
noon and there was quite stack OF them.
The democrats who withdrew were Henry
Mueller. the candidate for mayor. and
Dan Tewey, Z. L. Mahoney and G. w.
Connick, candidates for aldermen in the
Third. Seventh and Eighth wards. The
populists who served notice of their with
drawal were L. r.. Kinds, candidate for
city treasurer, j. II. Calderhead, candidate
for police magistrate, and the following
aldermanic candidates:
First ward, James L. Healy; Second
ward, j. r.. Wharton; Fourth ward, John
Weston; First ward, Edwin Hickey; Sixth
ward, DIR. /. E. Holmes.
The democratic city central committee
then placed the name of 4. b. Howell at
the head of their ticket and the populists
filed the nominations of Harry F.Ayleshire
81.
treasurer and police magistrate respect
lively. The vacancies on the two alder
manic tickets were then filled to corre-
spond with the arrangements made last
night. The full citizens ticket will be as
follows:
Mayor, L. B. Howell.
Police magistrate, w. j. Naughten.
Treasurer, II. +. Ayrshire.
Aldermen--First ward, p. S. Harrington,
democrat; Second ward, c. w. Newton,

tickets will be made up exactly as above
and voters can vote the ticket either as
democrats or populists.
Con Hayes states that there was no eau
Gus held last night before the third ballot.
He says that the eight democrats simply
got together to discuss the situation and
that both he and DIR. Blackburn told the
other members that they intended to vote
for Mr.. Howell on the next ballot.
j. +. Kelly, committeeman from the
| Third ward, resigned from the demo-
cratic city central committee to-day ana
| 81 Marks was appointed in his place.
| Lawrence Neiil. one of the populist COM
mifteemen, states that he was not a party
| to the fusion ticket, as he was opposed to
| a fusion with any party. II is fact that
| the designations of Dan Tewey and MT.
| Mccormick as aldermen on the demo-
/ era tic ticket were in the hands of the COM
mittee long before the proposition to fuse
was considered.
| With hardly an exception the ticket
| agreed upon by the democratic and popu-
| list committees last night Is meeting with
the greatest endorsement by all members
| of the two parties and citizens generally,
1 the expressions of confidence in its cleo
| ton are heard on every hand. The ticket
/ threw CONSERVATION into the republican
| ranks and men from the different fac
| tons of that party have been vigorous in
| their efforts to bring about union.
The republicans made several efforts to
| have both the mayorality candidates re-
| sign and agree on another candidate Tor
| mayor. They recognised the utter nope
lessness of a divided fight against the
united ticket which had so strong man
as Mr.. Howell at its head.
| The efforts to meet, however, came to
nothing. The Monteath republicans
gathered at their headquarters over the
republicans chased all over town pretend
ing to be trying to find them, but without
| success, and then charged that the Mon
teath republicans had given them the
double cross. About IL O'Clock both COM
mittee meetings adjourned and decided to
| the polls chose Monday night.
Henry Mueller, who resigned as the
democratic nominee, Is one of Mr..
| HoweIi's most earnest and strongest sup
/ porters, and Mayor Dugan has also ex-
| pressed his satisfaction with the selection
of Mr.. Howell. 1t is generally conceded
that Mr.. Howell will make one of the best
mayors the city has ever had. He Is a
man of excellent business experience, q
scholar of national reputation, a
man against whom not a word of
discredit can be said, and one
whom every man and woman
in Butte can respect and regard with pride
as the executive head of the city. 1T the
citizens who have been talking against a
religious test in politics will unite in the
support of Mr.. Howell, as they should, as
they doubtless will, he will be elected by
such an overwhelming majority that II
never again will be necessary TO meet the
same issue in Butte city election.
The time for filing nominations ex
PRED at II o'clock tonight, but with.
drawals of candidates may be filed with
night.
The registration Office will be oper
Saturday for the registration of voters
who were sick or out of the city during
: this preceding 10 days that the register
| was open.
l. = The withdrawal of f. ID. Elderkin. whs
was the nominee for police magistrate or
the republican ticket, was filed Will
the city clerk shortly before l.
o'clock tonight and his name will conse
quently not appear upon the ballot. This

zens' ticket. and II. Turner, the "regulai
republican" nominee.
