proper time good candidates will no doubt ap-
pear in those two wards
This spirit Of active rivalry for the favors
of Democratic voters does not augur well Tor
The bombastic bloyiations of the Republican
brethren And one thing is certain, no Demo-
cratic primary will be hidden away where the
voters cannot find it, as was the case In the
recent Republican primary election: EVERY
person entitled to vote will have full oppor-
tunity 10 do SO.
The board of aldermen met yesterday after
noon for the purpose of appointing the judges
of election. Prior to the meeting the alder
men gathered in one of the committee rooms
and examined the list of names recommended
by the special committee the day before
few changes were found necessary, as some
OF the men recommended by the committee
declined to serve, others were out OF the city,
and still others had moved away. After cor
recting the list and making such subStitutions
as were neoessitated the board was called to
order, and the resolution appointing the
Judges was submitted. Before it adopted,
J. G. Hanley, the Populist leader. renewed
his objection. TO the list of Popuist judges.
Mr. Hanley maintained that the list was ir-
regular. inasmuch it had been submitted
direct to the special committee without hav-
ing been previously presented to the board Of
aldermen and then referred to the committee.
Aid Kreger insisted that the list submitted
TO the committee was the only authentic one,
as it was made up by the city committee,
while the list that Mr.. Hanley wanted to
President Ehrmanntraut ruled that the en-
tire list of judges reported by the special
committee before the board although 1t
was irregular from a parliamentary stand
point to submit the POpulist list to the COM
mttee in the first instance,
On motion of Aid Krieger the resolution
appointing the judges was adopted by a unan-
imous vote. Whereupon the board adjourned

How to head off the ward heelers from
controlling the primaries the subject oi
a long informal discussion at the meeting Of
the Young Mems Central Republican club
held in the EndicOtt building last night. One
would hardly expect to find a body OF young
Republicans on whose banner is inscribed
Down with corruption; we stand for re
form" any one with the hardhood to stand

In the primary, yet such were not lacking
at the meeting last night. To every objec
ton urged by those who desired a departure
from the Old rule raised some counter
objection. If the complainant urged that
few men should not have the power of nam
ing the delegates by means of compromise
between certain candidates and thus tying tn
hands of the voter, the answer was made tha
if the obiector did not like it. he had tn
privilege of putting up a ticket of his own
If ii was urged that delegates should not b.
voted for in the interest of any certain can
didates but should go to the convention an
vote for the best men, 1t was answered tha
this was the only way in which they coul
express the popular will of those sendin
them,. and was even argued that under tn
new law the names of the candidates TO b
voted for at the convention must be at tn
head Of the primary election ticket. Finally
when it was suggested that the proper thin
TO do would be to have precinct caucuses, a
which should be nominated all the candidate
TO be voted for as delegates at the primaries
one Of the obiectors said that such meeting
were always held in every precinct for tn
purpose of making up the ticket.
Yes, a few politicians get together fo
that" was the response. ''But what we wan
is that all the Republicans in the precinC
should get together and not leave the wor
TO a few BOSSES"
The meeting adjourned without taking an
action, however, and it's ten to one she
that when the convention is held the bosse
will be in the majority.

van, James Morrow and w. A. Cowing wer
