But before- the exercises of Monday.
the mem bers-elect will be called upon to
perform quite as important duty as any
that will devolve upon them during the
year. That Is the election OF city ot.cers,
for while the formal election takes place
on Monday il is of a merely perfunctory
sort, the real choice being decided upon
at q caucus which it has been the custom
10 hold on the Saturday evening preced-
ing the Inauguration. In this caucus sill
the fighting is done. IL the hackers OF
states are powerful enough they Will
carry through their nominations; IL the
states are broken, as sometimes happens,
then there is a big battle Of ballots,
which has been known 10 last for hours
over the choice OF a single officer. But
all the fighting is done at this caucus and
not in open convention OF the two bodies
on Inauguration day, which has always
been something OF c disappointment to
those who have a fondness for witness
ing what, In the language OF the street,
are called "scraps." The nominal tons
finally agreed upon in the caucus are
made in convention and 1t seldom hap
pens that any member breaks away from
the caucus decision, although sometimes
the minority goes though the motions OF
nominating a candidate for the sake OF
party or personal purposes.

And while the commissioners were
hustling the worthy citizens of Provi-
dence were standing in line waiting by
hundreds. At one time there we're at

twisted themselves about the big corridor

tedious wait for those that had to stand
there for hours. some OF them as long as
four hours, and 1t is not To be wondered
at that not few of them were willing
to pay for place further up the line.
One dollar and $3.50 seemed TO be the
ruling quotations for desirable positions,
and some of those who were blessed with

Wickes Pioneer: There is a Helena
mining man, now travelling I'm the
South, whose name we would very
much like to learn. Some prospectors
down the gulch who have an excellent
copper claim. have been negotiating
with st. Louis syndicate for the lease
or sale of the property. The deal has
been nearly contaminated when this
Helena expert who had probably never
been within 10 miles of the mine. turned
up in st. Louis and advised the syndi-
cate to have nothing to do with the
property. He said the district was no
good, and that il was a waste of time
and money TO give the mater a second
thought. The syndicate took his advice
and let the matter drop. 1t is such
skunks as this who ruin all mining
camps. and they should be hunted
down and their names published broad
cast over the land.
