SECOND WARD SUB-REFORMERS.

The municipal campaign so far as the
Repu blican side OF the house is concern
ed. will be in full sway shortly after s
o'clock tonight, when the voters of all
the wards will have decided on their
Aldermanic ana Council candidates.
All the plots OF the so-called Indepenu-
ent and self-styled Good Government peo-
pie to pack the caucuses have been given
up and In the first and second wards
especially the Democrats who are steer
ing the "reform" movement have given
strict orders TO their followers to stay
away from tonight's primaries. Their
scheme win not be ready to spring until
after Wednesday night.
WARD ONE.
In Ward the reform movement has
been thus far directed by Mr.. John III.
Mcguire, the chairman of the Demo
cratic ward committee and the Democra-
tic nominee for hsrbor master. His busi-
ness is that OF a retail liquor dealer at the
corner of Benefit and Wlckenden streets.
Mr.. Mcguire was approached first py an
independent" who wanted 10 know
what his terms for deal would be and
Mr.. Mcguire said that he would consent
to "deal' ticket on conditions that the
Democrats might have two Of the five
candidates on the Council ticket. Mr..
Maguire's request was granted and for
his part OF the l.cket he put in Charles
Nichols for Alderman and Samuel III.
Bullock for Councilman. Both are old
TIME Democrats. The three men named
by the other party TO the deal are How
ard V. Sturgess, Henry w. Cook and
Elisha III. Howard, but unlike the two
Democrats they are very uncertain as to
whether they shall run or not. To all
appearances Mr.. Mcguire has lost favor
with his own party in the First Ward,
while he was looking for II from the
Indignationists ana his assuming the
right TO make deal in behalf of the
Democratic party Is very strongly resent
ed by many Democrats who live in the
First Ward. AS result the deal ticket
will by no means receive the Democratic
support OF the ward and the same influ-
ence which resulted in IL ballots being
cast against Mcguire in the Democratic
city convention last night, will work
against the ticket which he has been in
strumental in getting up On the other
hand there Is to be no straight Democra-
tic ticket, so the First Ward Democrats
who have been made tired by the comht-
nation of the reform and saloon elements
will stay away from the polls or vote the
straight Republican ticket. The anti
saloon wing of the ward Democracy Is
strongly in favor OF taking the latter
course.
In the Republican caucus this evening
the ward committee will offer for nomins-
tion the following ticket: Alderman Ar
thur III. Watson, Councilman William p.
Vaughan, Philip b. Durfee, Clinton ID.
any. opposition to this it Is yet to show
itself.
WARD TWO.
In the Republican Council caucus of
the Second Ward voters tonight there will
bb no nominations made by the ward
committee but the following ticket will
be nominated from the floor: Alderman
Albert G. White; Councilmen, q. Frank
Parkhurst, Charles A. Barden. A. j.
Cushing and Ebert K. White.
Here as in the First Ward the Reformers
are reserving themselves for subsequent
activity ana will not carry out their
original intention OF packing a caucus.
So there will be no counter nominations
this evening. The Independent ticket at
the present stage of the development
reads as follows. Alderman II. w. Bur-
bank, Councilman Rathbone Gardner, A.
A. Gray, q. +. Kelleher and Charles Sis
son. In this case the Democrats have not
demanded such a price for their co-opera-
tion and Chairman Dorney Of the Demo
cratic city committee, with whose con-
sent the combination was arranged, was
satisfied with the recognition OF only one
Democrat, Mr.. Kelleher. But there are
three other would be Council candidates
In the Second Ward as yet unattached to
any ticket. They are William II. Cor
ham, warden OF the second district, Mr..
Charles II. Philbrick and Mr.. Charles B.
Manche ster. They all want TO get on a
ticket and may secure two more names to
make complete set of their own and II
that feils Mr.. Ora ham aid yesterday that
he would get out nomination papers and
run on his own hook.
WARD THREE.

tion that the name OF Mr.. Randall has

Council six years. Mr.. Millen withdrew

statement he made in the caucus a year
ago and thcrehas been no foundat ion in the
rumors OF the past 10 days that he would
