Adjourned for a Week.

Willie Foxey Garrison was not con-
victed this morning for larceny as
bailee. He appeared before the Mayor
with his counsel j. M. Lippincott, and
was confronted with Mr.. Braunstein,
who made the charge. The complain
ant had no evidence to present, and
much to his surprise Garrison refused
to plead guilty. Braunstein said he
could produce evidence one week from
to-day, and the case was adjourned.
Mr.. Lippincott and Mr.. Braunstein
exchanged some little pleasantries and
the party left the Office to return next
week.

TTH SECOND WARD.

The Second ward Republicans nomi-
mated Merritt L. Sooy for Council.
They knew Mr.. Sooy; they were &C.
quainted with his official career in
City Council, and they know that his
opponents cannot point to anything
that he has done which will reflect
against him. He has conscientiously
and earnestly performed his duty, and
upon his record he stands. And with
| such a record he cannot fail to be
elected by handsome majority. Such
a candidate will receive the support of
the party and draw largely from the
other party.
The remainder of the ticket will
prove strong and there will be no rea-
son why the ticket will not be elected
from top to bottom.
THE THIRD WARD.
Major Daniel Elmer heads the ticket
in the Third ward. He has been In
Council for three years, and has made
an excellent official. All that time he
has been chairman of the Finance
Committee and has given his entire
time and attention to the work of the
city.
For Assessor Ed. 8. Holmes is too
we'll known to be talked about. He
has been faithful official, and In that
capacity has given entire satisfaction
for two years. He will be elected by a
handsome majority,
For Constable, Frank Lore Is the
man for Constable. He has an estab-
lished reputation for being a man who
can ferret out criminals, and his ex-
perience as detective will make him
better fitted for his duties as Con-
stable.
In THE FOURTH WARD
The Fourth ward Republicans seem
to have everything their own way.
They have an excellent ticket, and
their friends, the Democrats, do not
seem to be able to get any candidates
who will stand. For Council David 8.
Bew and Aaron Smith are the men
for the place, while Nicholas Scull, for
Freeholder will have a walk over. The
other nominations are such as will ap-
peal to the entire people.
Piles of Filth.

the Health Inspector, the Mayor, the
police officers and City Council, is
called to the piles of filth placed on

SPRING POLITICS.
The Republicans Have been Very
Careful and Have Selected
the Best Candidates Possible.

The Republicans Have been Very
Careful and Have Selected
the Best Candidates Possible.
The Republicans have been extreme
ly careful this spring In placing before
the people in each of the wards,
straightforward, satisfactory tickets.
The results should be sweeping Re-
publican victory In this Republican
city.
There Is one little point that should
be remembered by the people gener-
ally who hope to have Republican
Governor next November.
Last fall the party found itself sup
ported grandly by the people, and the
MAORI les something almost incredible.
This spring it is important that the
people should keep the party In a
strong front and be ready for an earn
est fight and victory.
The FIRST WARD.
The nominations In the First ward
by the Republicans are srch as appeal
strongly to the people. David 8. Sell
lers for Council is man of the people
and has always been identified with
the people. He lives in the northern
part of the ward, and will represent
the people there as well as the people
of other portions of the ward. He was
not an aspirant for the Office, but was
called by the people, and obeyed as
matter of duty.
Enos Glaspell for Freeholder will
represent his ward capably and hon.
estly. Everybody knows Mr.. Glaspell
Is plain man with good business
qualifications, and perfectly honest in
all his dealings. He was nominated
because the people wanted him and he
will be elected too.
For Assessor, Richard Morris has
been selected. The term Is for three
years now, and In Republican town,
the offices should be held by Republi.
cans. Morris Is a popular a.. A. r.
man, and will always prove q man for
the people.
The minor offices to be elected on
the ticket, will be filled by good men,
and there should be no cutting what.

The theater-going public is used to hear
ing of Mr.. Francis Wilson in connection
with successes and there win be no sur
prise at the announcement that the come
dian has scored another. This time it is
with "The Chieftain," the book OF which
is by Mr.. F.. C. Burnand aud the music
by Sir Arthur Sullivan.
Both these parts OF the opera have been
accorded the highest praise by press and
public wherever they have been presented,
the work of Sir Arthur being especially
commended. Indeed, it has been said that
into No previous comic opera has the COIN
poser put better music than he has into
this. Originally produced at the Savoy
Theater, London, last winter, 1t was pur-
chased In so far Is this country is concerned,
by Mr.. Wilson, and by him given its
production in this country ut Abbey's
Theater, New York, last September.
Its success was immediate and emphatic.
The work Is staged in the irreproachable
style for which Mr.. W ilson is famous,
the production having been made under
the direction of Mr.. Richard Barker, while
the music is in the care of Signnr A. De-
Novellis. Mr.. Wilson's part Is said to be
the best he has ever had.
The company supporting the comedian
includes Miss Lulu CHASER, Miss Lillian
Carllsmith, Miss Christie Macdonald, Miss
Alice Holbrook, Mr.. Rhys Thomas, Mr..
John E. Brand, Mr.. ]. C. Miron, Mr.. E. p.

appearance at the National Thcater, Sun
day evening, December o, when be lectures
ON "The Foundations of Faith"
More than one great man in history owes
some portion of his fame TO a happy title
bestow casually by an admirer. James
G. Blaine, for instance. When Robert g.
IngcrsolI, at the Republican national con-
vention, in Cincinnati. in 1875, referred
to Mr.. Blaine as the 'Plumed Knight" he
did It on the impulse OF the moment.
The eminent thinker, lawyer, soldier
and statesman, who has done more to
beautify the English language by his ex-
quisite turns of thought than any one else
in this country, saw that the expression
the Plumed Knight-would exemplify the
position of Mr.. Blaine before the American
people and he uttered 1t. The effect was
electrifying. The words were taken up
in the convention with a shout OF ap-
proval and admiration, and within twenty
four hours they were ringing In every city,
town, and hamlet on both sides of the
Atlantic.
Ingersoll's NEW lecture is said to be the
mate of those polished, eloquent addresses
which have won for him fame as an orator
and lecturer.
