THEIR HANDS FULL
The A. P. A. Leaders Growing M
vOuS as to the Result
BY NO MEANS CONFIDENT
They Are Working Hard. for They
Realize IL Is to Ee a Hard
Fight in Several of
the Wards.

II
A, which has captured the organiza-
ton Of the republican party i'm this city
and has put up a mixed aldermanic
ticket under the name of the republican
party, is finding more of a scrap on its
, hands than IL anticipated, and finds IL
necessary to work hard in every ward
of the city in order To save its ticket.
Down in the Eighth ward. w. J. Pal
mer's own bailiwick. all the forces of
Mr.. Palmers secret cabal are being en-
ployed to beat j. j. knowlton, the dem
ocratic nominee, who has proved him
self mighty good alderman for the
people at large during the past two
years. But MIR. Palmer wants a man
as alderman from the Eighth ward who
will do his bidding. and he has selected
Mr.. Hendrix as his man. Mr.. Knowlton
was not satisfactory to the members of
the cabal because he manifested indie
pendence of spirit and wouldn't do what
he was instructed to do. His course
In voting against the Hale house ordi-
nance and against down-stair gamb-
ling was unsatisfactory to Mr.. Palmer.
In the Sixth ward, the c. c. c. of the
A. p. A. is also finding it's hands full
1t has contracted to reflect as a re-
publican Mr. NJ. NJ. Nivion who, two
years ago, was elected as a democrat,
and who is well-known as a lifelong
democrat. Alderman Nivion is one of
the few aldermen in the council who
has never once refused to do the bid
ding of the G. G. G. No matter how
outrageous the measure which Messrs
Palmer. Caldwell and the rest desired
to put through the council, Mr. Nivion
was in every case ready to do their bid
ding. But there is a good deal of feel
ing in the Sixth ward against having
too many of that sort of aldermen in
the council. Some of the Sixth ward
taxpayers think they should have an
alderman who will represent the Sixth
ward and not the G. c. c. The Sixth
ward did not elect the C. c. c. to do it's
thinking for It. and ii is difficult to un-
derstand why an alderman, elected by
the voters of the Sixth ward. should
have to go to Messrs Palmer, Johnson
and the rest of the ring which consti-
tutes the c. c. G. to get instructions be-
fore expressing an opinion and taking
a stand. w. II. Davey, the democratic
candidate in the Sixth ward, IL elected,
will represent the people of the ward
and not any clique, cabal or ring. He
will labor for the interests of the peo-
pie of the ward, and will not have to
consult anybody respecting measures
that come up, except the people of the
Sixth ward. If Mr.. Davey is elected.
the Sixth ward will have two aldermen.
as IL Is entitled to--not one only. indie
Dttlutul tlllLtDS VI lDt CiNln MdTus IT,
CARELESS of party. are fiocking to the
cause of Mr.. Davey. He is a clean,
honest, progressive business man, and
was never repudiated by any party.
In the Fourth ward the ring also has
its hands full. Its candidate in that
ward is also one of these demo-reps,
whose real politics is a matter of ex-
treme doubt, but whose allegiance to
the ring is a matter concerning which
there is no doubt. Mr.. Charles Baus-
man was kicked out by the c. c. c. for
the council to appoint as a democratic
judge of election. but was later select
ed as the republican nominee for alder
man. AS a matter of fact. he repre-
sents neither the republican nor the
democratic party, but the ring, and IL
elected, he will be another alderman in
the council ready to do the bidding of
Palmer. Johnson and the rest. Opposed
to him is Mr.. Charles G.. Terrell, re-
spected in his ward by men OF all par
ties, a thorough business man and a
good citizen.
There is more trouble for the cabal in
the Second ward, where IL expected
walkover. While their candidate, Mr..
T. T. Baker. is acknowledged to be a
strong candidate, the democrats have
opposed to him Mr.. Thomas Bryant,
foreman of the Original mine. who is
respected and esteemed alike by work
ingmen and property owners, and all
will unite in giving him enthusiastic
and victorious support.
In the wards on the east side of Main
street. the administration ring will not
have breathing space i'm any ward and
will have to fight until the polls go
down. In the First ward IL is particu-
larly anxious TO defeat Mr.. John Byrne,
the populist candidate. who seems TO
have made himself obnoxious TO the
administration. AS there is no demo-
cratic candidate in the First ward
there is little doubt OF Mr.. Byrne's cleo
ton. and an attempt is being made TO
have him disqualified. IL he does win.
He is a thorn in the side of the admin
istration.
ID. Dorias will be elected by the dem
ocrats of the Third ward and he will
admirably represent them.
In the Fifth ward, Mr.. Thomas A.
Walsh. the populist candidate. is giving
the cabal more work than IL can find
time TO do and Is likely TO win. while
Mr.. George Whitcomb. the populist can
didate i'm the Seventh ward. Is keeping
John c. Heilig on the jump. and he ad-
mits himself that he doesn't know
where he is at.
So the election tomorrow is going
to be pretty lively after all and in every
ward in the city, when the sun goes
down. the administration ring will
know that there has been.a fight.

sold in the state of Montana a good
