When we asked why one Of the new iron
battle ships did not come the admiral said
that he was suffering very much from rheu-

damper than the wooden ships so much so
that he could not ride in an iron ship. This

accept the aldermanic nomination in the

report that he will not run in the Eighth

AS to the assembly nominations, James

strongest men on the ticket, last evening
sent letters to the G o b e stating that they
will not accept. Mr.. MeladS also sent the

the nomination.

you can act accordingly. Yours truly,

William Johnson may accept, as he was the
left-hand supporter of the chairman. 1t is
not likely that. Mr.. Weidenborner, or any of
the others named, will Fay any attention to
the attempt to ring them in. The candidates
for justices and constables will undoubtedly

Little Political Tips.

To those who know how the friends OF Fred
c. Schiffmann have been piling in votes for
him, it seems neXpicable that the Dispatch
should drop his name out altogether. The
fact seems to be that his total threatened to
be as large as that of all the others combined );
ana that would never do. So Schiffmann's S
name was arbitrarily yanked out; and now
his friends are piping hot.
Chester R. Smith, of Smith & Taylor, is
the latest man proposed for the assembly on
the Republican ticket. He may be like Paul
Gotzian and DR.. R. S. Bole, who do not seem
at all inclined to be put on the ticket that
must lose.
Doran's friend Tim Reardon may not be in
the convention next Saturday, after ALL George
Warren has gone up there and put a candi-
date in the field against Tim. His name is
John Duffy, and he is fighter.
Ex-Treasurer Bobleter has thought better of
1t. He will not run for alderman in the
Ninth ward.

near Pine River under peculiar circumstances.
The boys father had been in the habit of
having him write orders for supplies to be

This day young Lazotte, without the consent
of his father. wrote order for two bottles
of beer and quart of whisky. He went to
the saloon and got the liquor, drinking
enough to become intoxicated. Returning
home, his father found what had been done,
and chastised the lad. At supper he told
the boy he had committed forgery, and he
was going to send him to the reform school.
The boy left the table, went into an adjoin-

PARTY RATES.
Roads Will Endeavor to Correct
Some Existing Abuses

CHICAGO, April IA conference of the
lines in the emigrant clearing house Of the
Western Passenger association will be held
in st. Louis tomorrow with representatives
of the Southern Pacific regarding the possi-
BILE membership of that road in the clearing
house. There is no telling what conclusion
will be reached, but the Southern Pacific will
not be crowded By the other roads, and if it
is not unreasonable it is likely to secure good
terms from the clearing house.
During the latter part Of this week a meet
ing of the Western Passenger association will
be called to consider the question of party
rates. Some of the roads have declared them
selves in favor of dropping all such rates en-
tirely, even to the doing away with all theat-
rical rates. There is no likelihood, however,
that this will be done. At the same time an
earnest effort will be made to do away with
the Generalization that has arisen from the
abuse OF party rates.
