Fifth Ward.

The caucus of the Fifth ward held at 35 Olive street was attended by an un- usual number of voters. The only excitement during the evening was when Alderman Andrew Goodman, who owes his seat in the aldermanic board to the democrats stepped up to the box to deposit his ballot. Alderman Hamil- ton chairman of the ward committee, challenged the democratic alderman S vote. He was not quite sure that his democratic colleague could give suffl- cient data concerning his change of heart. He, therefore, called upon Coola- han to give evidence, whereupon the latter said that he voted for Mckinley on the third of November. This state ment was accepted as sufficient evil dence and MT. Goodman was allowed to vote.
 The city ticket nominated is as fol- lows:
 Alderman-John H. Pearce.
 Councilmen-W. F. Herz, George F. Burgess, John V. Flanagan.
 City delegates-F. $. Hamilton, A. G. Shell, A. D Sanborn, George F. Hal lacher, George D. Bone.
