Tn. Republican Caucus Sons Of Zion
Election.

ElectiCn.
Though the Republican caucus in "ard 8
last night was not so largely ATTENDED that
any one could possibly suggest the necessity
of an overflow meeting, and though The eau
Gus was very tame compared with tho wlia
demonstration of last spring, the result OF
no caucus held by the party ever caused
mora talk than this one. The reason Inc
caucus was SO thoroughly discussed last even
in, and today was the nomination OF Mrs. I'd
win ID. McGuiuness. wife of His Honor
Nleyor McGuinness, for member Of tho school
committee.
shortly after Chairman Ben njamin f. Wors-
lev had callei the meeting to order, James D.
I.oyett came no the ward room stairs from
Smith street and looked around. He OBJ
served the propriety OF the occasion by re-
manning outside the door, though several in
v,tations were extended him TO throw on his
reserve and come closer to the business. a
coupls of his friends soon Interested Mr.
Iovatt IN conversation. This tete'a-tete was
interrupted by the nomination for school
co,omittee. There was a good distance be-
tween tse ohairman's box and Mr.. Lovet'
and friends, and the nomination sounded IKE
that of the mayor.
restrained one of his lieutenants from rushing
UP to the box before there was luli IN the
proceedings TO make sure that there might
not have been mistake. Mr.. Lovetts ma
chine some time ago fixed il up that Alder
man Mccarthy, who Is at present member
Of the school committee, should be renomi-
mated by tho Democracy. The deputy that
went up to find out who was nominated
seemed 10 feel bit relieved when he heard
Il was not the mayor that was nominated. but
on second thought he realized that the nomi'
nation was even stronger than II it had
been his honor.
The action Of the caucus was highly
praised today, not only by Republicans, but
also by independent Democrats Mrs. Nc
Guinness possesses many excellent quaiihca
tions for the office, and ii might safely be
said that no political party ever made bet
ter nomination for tho office OF school com
mittee than did the Republicans last night.
For many years the nominee was one OF the
best teachers in the schools of the ward. She
is broad minded, liberal and advanced in her
ideas, and IL elected would be Of great ben
eft TO the scholars and to those entrusted
with their care. MIRA McGuinness has been
for several years member Of the board OF
trustees of the Rhode Island Institution for
the Deaf
There is some prospect that the caucus OF
the party for the nomination of members OF
the City Council from the ward may prove n
lively one There will be Republican Coun'
Gil and Aldermanic ticket in the field as
usual, judging from present reports.
