Nominations Are Closed and the Cand-
dates HustIing.
The city campaign warmed up yester.
day and all of the candidates for alder
manic honors hustled out their posters,
distributed cards and sent out circulars
which all tended to induce the man with
a ballot to look favorably upon them.
The filing of nominations closed last
night at midnight. There were three
changes made in the tickets named by the
conventions. The populists had two va
cancies on their ticket, Con O'Conner of
the First ward Withdrawing in favor of
his old friend Tom Murray. The central
committee selected as his successor James
Keefe. Mr.. O'Conner's notice. which was
left in the Standard office for publication,
is as follows:
"Notice-I hereby withdraw from the
nomination for alderman for the First
ward on the populist ticket because of a
long-standing friendship existing between
Tom Murray and myself. which / would
not attempt to sever.
Con O'Conner."
The vacancy on the populist ticket
caused by the resignation of c. II. Will
liams of the Fourth ward was filled by
substituting the name of ]. p. Dunn of
Park avenue.
The republican central committee met
last evening and planned their campaign.
A. Fortier rendered his resignation as a
candidate in the Second ward and Garry
Nugent was selected to fill the vacancy
The new lamb for the slaughter is the
foreman of the Recorder office and rooms
at the Beaudry block. He was a dark
horse in the convention and the with
drawal of Fortier brings him to the front.
With any one but Peter Cox in the field
against him he would be a formidable
candidate. Under the circumstances his
fate will be that of the rest of the repub-
lican ticket.
The democratic ticket remained whole
and is put before the public unpatched.
1t is everywhere regarded as one of the
strongest tickets ever placed in the field
by the party and is representative in ey-
cry sense OF the word. The old friends of
Tom Murray are rallying about him I'm
ward one as of old. when he was twice
elected to the council. Peter Cox, with a
record unimpeachable in the council or as
a citizen. one of the best aldermen who
ever served the people. will be Endorsed
by the voters of the Second with a hand
some majority. ID. d. Walker will be sup
ported by the citizens of the Third ward
without regard TO party utilization. He
has been identified with Anaconda and
the business interests ever since IL was a
city of tents. ~
]. V. Collins is setting a fast clip for his
competitors in the Fourth, and will pass
the polls an easy winner. The city will
receive the benefit Of his energy and en-
terprise in the council. such as applied to
business methods has made him one of
the prominent men of the city.

thing for every voter to do is to see that
