Battle FOR The OFFICES,
1t WilI BE Fought Ont Tomorrow at
the Polls.
THE OFFICES TO BE FILLED
Candidates Who Are struggling Against
Zach Other for rSuprcmncy-LiNeiyD Hat
ties for Aldermen Being Fought in
Eighth and Fifteenth Wards.

Tomorrow the annual spring munich
pal election will be held. There are
lively fights for council in some of the
wards, but the fact that no city Offices
are to be filed robS the contest of much
of its interest for the average citizen,
who generally looks upon Il ward office
as something very insignificant. In
reality these ward offices are of the
highest Importance and voters should
exercise the greatest care in filling
them.
An unscrupulous, small Drained and
mercenary councilman can cause un-
told damage to the city, and in like
manner bad election officers can nullify
the wish of the voters as expressed by
their ballots. 1t is of great moment,
therefore, that all classes of citizens
should take an active interest in Tues
days election to the end that good
councilmen and election officers may
be selected.
In the First ward David Reese Is the
Republican nominee for common coln-
ell, and John j. LOTUS, assistant fore
man at the Leggett's Creek shaft, Is
running as an Independent. They are
waglng a most stubborn fight.
Up in the Third ward, however, Is
where the real fighting is being done
James Grier the present incumbent;
james Gallagher, and Thomas Hoban
all Democrats, are at 1t in the most
earnest manner. They are making one
OF the livelest campaign the ward has
known for the Office for common council
ON the West Side.
Richard ID. Thomas has no opposition
for common council in the Fifth ward
He is the candidate of the Republican
party and is a business man who Occu-
pies high place in the esteem of his
neighbors.
Down in the Seventh ward william
H. Smallrldge, well known young
| Republican, announced himself as a
candidate for common council about
Il week ago Though the ward is
| strongly Democratic MIR. Smallridge
has strong hopes of pulling out VIC
tory. His opponent Is NJ f. Gilroy.
Captain James Moir will be elected
to succeed himself as common council
man from the Ninth ward, and so will
Edward Robinson from the Eleventh.
| They have no opposition. In the Thir-
| teenth ward c. 5. Seamans, the Re
| publican nominee, and Attorney II. b.
| Reynolds, the Democratic candidate
are waging lively battle. As the
ward has a big Republican majority,
/ Mr.. Seamans should be an easy win
/ ner. He would make a valuable addi-
/ tion to the common council.
Joseph Oliver has opposition in the
! Fifteenth ward for the office of COM
mon council to which he aspires. He
is the regular Republican nominee,
/ and will unquestionably be elected.
| Eugene Davis. Republican, and Lorenz
/ Zeidler, Democrat, are contesting for
the seat of Charles u. Schadt, Of the
| Sixteenth ward, in the common coun-
| ell. Mr.. Schadt resigned when elected
I county treasurer.

In tho Seventeenth Ward.

Select and common councilmen are
to be chosen in the Seventeenth ward.
The vacancy in the select from that
ward was caused by the resignation of
Frank II. Clemons after he was chosen
sheriff of the county. The Republl-
cans have nominated j. A. Lansing for
select council. and Luther Keller for
common council. They are unopposed.
There is a lively fight in the Nine
teenth ward between +. J. Hickey. the
present incumbent, who is Dem
ocrat, and Conrad Linn, Republican,
for common council. Both men are

Another fierce battle is on in the
Twentieth ward between Y. j. Coyne
and NJ. J. Cabin for the seat in the
select council made vacant by the
resignation of Alexander T. Connen,
who now represents the Second dis
trict In the Legislature. In the twenty
first ward Thomas Norton Is candi-
