Mr.. DUNN HAS WITHDRAWN

Something of a sensation was sprung
upon the politicians last evening, when
a dodger was circulated by the republi-
can managers that the populist nomi-
nee for alderman in the Fourth ward,
| John p. Dunn, had withdrawn from
the ticket. The circular reads:
NOTICE!
Anaconda, Mont, April 4, 1896.
| To the Voters of the Fourth Ward of
the City of Anaconda:
L hereby announce uhat am not a
candidate for alderman in said ward,
| and refuse to permit my name to be
used as such candidate. Respectfully,
j. p. Dunn.
This announcement was not taken
pleasantly by the populists. as it gave
them no opportunity to fill the va
cancy on their ticket. AS a matter Of
fact the resignation of Mr.. Dunn
comes too late for his name to be taken
from the official ballots, which have
been printed and will be used at the
election Tomorrow, and his popuIist
friends cannot be prevented from cast
ing their votes for him IL they so de-
sire. IT
The withdrawal, as announced.
comes as a disappointment to many re-
publicans who, for various reasons.
preferred the populist to their own
nominee. Under the present conditions
this vote will now go to J. ". Collins.
who is representative business man
with many interests in the city and es-
pecially in that ward. Though the at
tempt to pull off Candidate Dunn Is a
9. o. p. scheme, there is no doubt that

The contests in the other wards have
not developed any startling features.
Tom Murray is the only man who will
be heard from in the First ward after
the polls close. In the Second, the Re
corder says the friends of Johnson of
the populist ticket tried to persuade
Garry Nugent to resign in his favor,
but true to republican principles, which
consist of hanging on to an office or a
prospective chance for one, the candi-
GATE refused the Vaccinations of the
pops. Peter Cox has made too faithful
servant of his constituents to be
turned down, and he will be sent back
to his seat in the council by a hand
some plurality.
1t is another rare instance of the Of
flee seeking the man and not the man
the office in the case of David d. Walk
er, In the Third ward. His election has
been considered a foregone conclusion
ever since his nomination and but for
an unfounded report that he would not
accept the place. the republicans would
not have named a man to run against
him. -
There is a slight change this year in
the manner of voting. The code has
provided the Australian ballots with an
additional space for marking. Under the
name of each party, Democratic"
"Populist," Republican" is a circle.
