or the meeting TO he held this afternoon
at the office OF Col. Parker final ARA nsc-

have little else TO 90, except muster their
friends, and on the 2sth OF This month

1t Is true that Col. Myron NJ. Parker
has decided to withdraw from the contest.
His reason for doing this can he understood
by an expression made this morning to
The Times representative, when Col.
Parker said:
dirty for me-
He intinated that there was too much
mud Singing. Col. Parker also stated his
belief that Col. Andrew Glccson would once
more be seated ut the Republican convent lon.
Col Glecson was found at his usual rem
devious on Fifteenth street, and showed
no surprise at the course of Col. Parker,
but expressed himself by a large-sized smile
of satisfaction.
GLEESON is NOT BOUND.
As heretofore, Col. Gleeson denied that
he has formed an alliance wiihleiiher one
OF the colored candidates, replying To
| query on that subject thlthe was for himself
| for delegate and Tom Reed for President.
ii has been said that Carson will he slated
with Col Glccson, but the fact that Carson
threw over Gleeson for Col Parker will
operate against Il combination between the
two now. This will throw Perry Carson
behind somewhat, now that he has not the
nj al ~ rcar nd is lint. - HIT,
Bailey will nmore than likely defeat the
old colored fighter.
One man, little heard of, but vet believed
TO have 4 good chance, is Oscar Nauck,
who is asking the vote OF what he is plea sed
10 term the representative citizens. The
early mail TO Col. Parker brought we'll
formed thclist of Judges andclerksas Nauck's
choice. and Col. Parker, it is believed,
will sanction many OF those requested by
Air. NauCk. Each one of The candidates will
prepare such lists, and they viii be gone
over at the meeting OF the board this evening.
Another piece Of important business TO
be transacted at the meeting will be the Sc
lection Of the voting places and The adop-
tionof the Committees report recommending
THE same. The committee. which consists
ri Mcssrs. N. NJ. Hollan nd, Baiicy, and Ort-
lip. has already made its selection and de-
termincd upon the expenses.
This report cmbodies several sugges-
tiuns, and, contrary TO the general expec-
tatiun, there viii be but one voting place
in each district. There is an exception in
the case OF the county. where two voting
places VIII he allowed. The total expense
as determined upon by the committee viii
not exceed $3.50, each candidate 10 be re-
quircd To print his own tickets The voting
boxes used by The Times in its bond bill
election will be used by the Republicans
THE POLLING PLACES.
Another change proposed is the wording
Of the election resolution, SO that it will
read that the candidate getting the highest
number of votes will be the delegate, and
the candidate getting the next highest num-
Der of votes will be the alternate.
The committee had decided to also recon-
mend registration. but owing to the late
ness OF Col. Parkers return, decided that
such action would be useless. as there would
be- no time to carry it out
