Il LIVELY WEEK IN POLITICS.
LIBERALS AND CITIZENS WILL
HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL.


The Opposing Municipal Tickets to
BE Made Up Tonight and Ratified
Tomorrow Night-The Germanin
Clubs ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Irish
American Meeting in the Interest
of the Citizens Ticket.
This viii be a lively week in politics.
Both the Liberal and Citizens Club
tickets are TO be named, and II
the plans of neither side mis-
carry the Morning News viii be
able to present TO its readers Wednesday
morning the officials ballet with the two
tickets named by the opposing factions,
side by side.
The two clubs have hit on the same days
for their important work. Both commit
tees of 100 meet tonight, the Citizens Club
committee at odd Fellows hall, and the
Liberal Club committee in Lyons hall.
Possibly, in an unofficial way the tickets
selected will be given to the public
then.
Both sides have been hard at work max
ing up their tickets The Liberal Cub
committee Of ten appointed to report an
aldermanic ticket to the committee of 100
has finished it's work, it is stated and viii
make its report. II the committee sue
ceeded in securing the consent of several
of the gentlemen whom it is known have
been approached for the purpose, the ticket
will contain some good timber for the next
board of aldermen.
The Citizens Club committee has been
working quietly. It has evidently not
concluded its work as two or more places
are being held open, it appears, for Irish
timber, and the Germania Club nomna-
tons have not yet been handed in. The
leaders Of the club do not conceal their
desire to secure some prominent Irish cit
liens for their ticket. Several have been
approached. but have declined to allow the
use of their names.
Tomorrow night the two clubs will meet
to receive the report of their nominating
committees, the Liberal Club at Masonic
temple and the Citizens Club al Odd Eel
lows hall. The events will be made oc-
casions of imposing demonstrations by
both sides 1t is safe to say that neither
hall will be sufficient to hold the crowds
which will gather to hear the reports. The
First and Fourth district Liberal Clubs
win meet at their respective headquar-
ters and will march to Masonic hall. If
these clubs turn out their usual strength
NHSlT NUMBERS alone Will Suiflce TO NIL II.
Both clubs will probably have rallies
later in the week. On Monday night pre-
ceding the election both clubs will have
rallies, at which they will endeavor to turn
out their full strength Political meetings
of one kind and another viii be held every
night this week, and the colored brother,
who has been honied and caioled TO an I'M
limited extent by both sides already, will
be entertained, The colored voters, who
were fortunate enough to get on the reg
istration list, will have a picnic from now
until election day.
One thing worthy of note is that in spite
of the rash utterances of some of the
speakers on both sides, there has been, SO
far, a marked lack of i'll feeling. There is
not as much street corner shouting as in
previous campaigns, and little disposition
to unpleasant argument. There has been
practically no betting so far but there will
doubtless be maRy bets made this week
with the usual amount of bluffs. Evident
ly the interest in the campaign is not so
exciting as was expected would be the
