Tonight the caucus in the ward room
promises TO be very interesting; that Is,
II the opposition to Thomas Rison ma
terializes, which Is very probable.
Mr.. Rison will be there with
all his friends. which will num-
ber several hundred. The opposition also
have engaged a number Of moving teams,
but they won't be in 1t. So the friends OF
Mr.. Rison say. There will be some OPP
position, SO tits said. against Charles II.
smart, the present Representative from
the Third Ward. The friends of George w.
Brown, member of the ward committee,
are working hard in his interest, and may
secure the delegation. The caucus prom
ises to be the largest ever held by the
Republicans in the Third Ward.
John Nelson will not be In it at all I'm
the Second Ward. The respectable Re-
publicans and the better element of
the Hebrew population will vote
against him, and should he
get thu nomination, which is
possible, he will very probably be defeated
at the election. His conviction Of receiv-
ing stolen goods will go hard against him.
He Is not eligible, many people say, and
Is disgrace TO the Republican party.
Tho Democrats are making no effort
whatever. A few OF them will assemble
in the ward room tomorrow evening and
go through the form OF electing their ward
committee and delegates TO the city
convention. There won't be two tickets
in the field as is usual, the old ward COM
mittee will be reelected, and the majority
OF the party don't care snap who
are elected delegates to the convention.
They know the Democratic party stands
but very poor show of electing any can
didates to the Legislature.
A prominent Democrat said today: "The
Democratic party has lost the respect of
oil ha fpdanendanf pifizanQ nf the Mort n
End, and as for myself l don't care who
are elected delegates"
Poor old Julia Carey is dead at last. She
was found dead in a chair in he basement
at 295 Gladstone avenue. yesterday about
2 O'Clock, by Patrick Ienahan, near
about the North Zen as she
always lived alone, supported
by pension OF IS a month. Her husband
was killed at the battle OF An
tietam. For years she lived in
that miserable hovel with few
articles OF furniture, only table and two
chairs and an old lounge on which she
received every three months was
barely enough to keep soul and body
together, yet she would never beg. Oc-
casionally the woman who lived next door
would bring her in some food in the
shape of soups, but ii was hard
work TO make her accept it..
Mrs. Carey was 20 years old and was a
familiar figure on Gladstone avenue.
She has no relatives and will probably be
buried at the expense of the city.
