Will hold ward caucuses tomorrow even
ing in all the wards of the city to name
delegates to the democratic convention
which meets in Standard hall on Satur-
day afternoon to name candidates for al
dermen. There are no avowed candi-
dates for aldermanic honors upon the
democratic ticket, although good men, it
is understood, can be induced to accept
the nomination. In the First ward Tom
Murray, who is sterling democrat, a
good citizen, and a popular man will
probably be the democratic standard
bearer. Peter Cox, at present alderman
from the Second ward, will accept re-
nomination. He has the respect of every
resident Of the city independent Of poll
tics. In the Third ward the democrats
have no avowed candidate. The dele
gates will find no trouble in picking d
good man; the names of half a dozen
prominent property holders aud stanch
democrats have been mentioned as dem
ocratic nominees. The Fourth ward
democrats will rcbably place in nomi-
nation j. Y. Collins, bright and popr-
Lar young business man, who couldn't be
beaten with club in that ward. The re-
publicans haven't yet decided whether
or not they will take a hand in this alder
manic contest. They would like to, but
what's the use? All other things being
equal the democrats can elect any good,
respectable man whom they nominate in
this town. The populists don'tappear to
be making much of u rustic for their can
didates, but they may be working hard
just the same on the quiet. The main
consideration with the citizens of Ana
condn at this time is to Get representa-
tive and sensible lot Of men in the city
council. This will be an important year
in the city's history, ana business like
and progressive management is essential
in civic affairs.
