Livingston. March S1.-Since the
nominations were made considerable
interest is being taken in the ap-
preaching city election. In the First
ward It is the general surmise that the
populists intend to throw their strength
TO George A. Gordon, the republican
nominee, in which event E. t. Lamb
democrat, will have to do lot of tall
hustling to secure his election. To even
up things on this score it is expected
the populists of the Third ward will
try to effect a compromise with the
democrats, to the end that that ward
shall send one populist and one demo-
crat to the city council. But it is a
question whether such a DEAL IL II is
really contemplated, can be put through.
1t is hard to conceive that the demo-
Gratis will feel at all disposed to assist
fhe populists in one ward while the
populists are seeking the election of a
republican in another ward. At any
rate, the rumor that the deal contem-
plates the election of Mallahan, demo-
crat, and Wilson, populist, in the Third
ward is certainly not reliable, for both
those gentlemen are candidates for the
long term, and consequently but one
can be elected. In the Second ward
George w. Wakefield, the democratic
candidate, has the field to himself, as
Mr.. Krieger has not consented to make
the race. The republican ward COM
mittee, however. and the republicans
of the city generally insist that Krie-
gers name shall appear upon the ball
lot, even If against his wishes to stand
for election, but whether Mr. Krieger
or the ward committee will yet recede
from the nOCiti0n thew ha fol ha-
fore the ballots are printed is certain
~ matter beyond conjecture at pres
ent.
