BEES IN THEIR HATS.
FRIENDS MENTION CANDIDATES
FOR MAYOR.
I'm Both Parties In the Hands of
Their Friends.

Already there is considerable speculation
regarding mayoralty candidates for the
coming campaign 1t is but few months
until the time for nominations. and the
election takes place next october. 1t is
said that Mayor Denny will not be candi-
date for denomination. There are many
Republican names heard already posi-
bilities. p. G. Trusler, the present con-
troller, is referred to as candidate. but he
says he has not decided yet about enter
ing the canvass. j. C. Adams, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, is also fire.
quenty mentioned as a possibility, but
there is doubt if Mr.. Adams would accept
a nomination. for he has extensive brick
works, which has the city contractors as
customers, and Mr.. Adams feels that it
would not do for the Mayor to be interested
in brick, and he does not care to give up
his business. Capt. J. B. Conner, of the
Board of Safety, and DR.. Theodore Wagner
are mentioned in connection with the Of
fice
But the talk among Republicans is not
half so unsettled as that heard among the
Democrats. The latter seem to think that
it behooves them to conduct an aggressive
campaign, and they are preparing to put
their best foot forward, provided they can
find it. There are so many conflicting opin-
IONS among the local democracy at pres
ent that the leaders of the party realize
that it is question whether the different
opinions. each backed by a faction. be
reconciled. The more enthusiastic mem
bers of the party. that Is, the 'howling'
portion of Democracy, think Thomas Taggart
Is the only man to lead the ticket. There
Is very serious doubt whether Mr.. Taggart
would accept the nomination if it were
offered him, but Mr.. Taggart is a Demo-
GRAFT, and consequently he cannot be de-
pended upon to refuse anything. John w.
Kern, at present State Senator, is mem
toned by some favoraby. Mr.. Kern has
said that he would not accept the nominal
ton under any conditions. Allan W. Con-
duitt, who was a member of the Sullivan
Board of Works, is announced as cand-
date for the nomination. 1t is said that
contracting business should he receive the
nomination. Edwin st. George Rogers and
August M. Kuhn are said to be in position
to grab the nomination should tt come their
way. 1t is thought that there are num-
Der of candidates intending to strive for
the nomination soon the Legislature
adjourns. These Democratic candidates
think they can tell better at that time
which way the cat Is going to Jump. 1t
Is noticeable thing that few of them are
pining for the nomination and there is no
great contest for it, although this time
two years ago there were a half dozen
candidates in the field.

and fancy dress ball to be given by the
Mannaechor Society, at Tomiinson Hall,

was such as to much encourage those who
have charge of the enterprise. The recog-

ever given in this city, is increasing the
interest in it, and the desire to attend The

JUDGE BROWN RECoNsIDERs.

Changes His Ruling I'm the First
street Bridge Injunction Suit.
Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, has
revised his decision in the suit of Kaehn
and others against the County Commission
ers to enjoin the building of a bridge over
White river at First street. The court now
holds that notice is not required from the
County Commissioners to bidders for the
letting of bridge contracts. When the COM
missioners appoint bridge superintendent
the statute requires that he shall give no.
tice and let the contract to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder. The plaintiffs complained
that the commissioners had not given
proper notice, and that the contract had
been awarded at special session Judge
Brown, in his former ruling, held this para
graph good He considered that when the
commissioners did not appoint a superin-
tendent the duty of giving the required no.
tice devolved upon them. The courts orig
inal contention was that this notice must
be given during a regular term OF the
County Commissioners Court, and not dur
ing a special term BY his decision yeSter-
day the court finds that the notice required
from the bridge superintendent does not
apply to the County Commissioners them
selves, and therefore they had the right
to let the contract at a special session or
the board without notice. The court was
urged to reinvestigate the law on the ques-
ton by attorney Howe, who filed a Or1ef
for the Winslow Bridge Company, demur-
ring to the original ruling

tariff The Milwaukee & st. Paul for a
time checked the trouble by threatening to
cut loose and protect its interests by vigor-
Gus reprisals unless the other lines paid
more attention. to the rate sheet. and this
The offending lines proceeded to do. Since.
however the courts decided that party rates
are not violation of the interstate-ccm-
extent ignored the agreement to strictly
maintain rates, and the result has been
considerable decentralization in the regular
tariffs. The district between Chicago and
the Missouri river is at present the only
territory in the West in which theatrical
companies are not getting reduced rates and
little business in consequence. II is highly
probable that Chairman Caldwell will be
called on at early date to adjust the
matter and regular party rate will be
adopted in all portions of the Western
Trunk line committee territory.
