filed to-day.
Tomorrow Is the last day for declin-
ing nominations. the law providing that
those who are nominated may decline
up to two days before election. and II
they fail to do SO their names must
appear on the ticket. No destinations
have as yet been filed, but the gossip
is tina there will be some. There are
altogether rs nominations for aldermen
and only eight to be chosen. 1t Is re-
ported that two or three populists are
to decline, as the populists don't have
much expectation of the election OF
their men. anyway, and in some of the
wards are in the way. They can only
serve to draw from candidates who
ought to be elected. As long as a party
does not nominate a full and complete
ticket in each ward IL cannot claim to
be a party or TO be I'm the field, but only
to be a knocker. 1t is said also that
some of the Mckinley republican can
didates will decline to run. having been
uisgusted the last few days with the
apparent milk and water policy OF Mr..
Mckinley, whose acts on the Cuban
and Maine questions their platform en-
dorses heartily n unreservedly. II Is
likely therefore that there VIII not be
more han % or "A candidates for alder
men when all nominations are filed and
all declinations are in.
The campaign is not hot. II Is not
even lukewarm as yet. but still there IL
a growing feeling that the democrats
have the best candidates and that the
party deserves the endorsement OF the
people. The city IL admitted to be I'm
good hands and to make a change from
what has been proven to be good to no
body knows what ie not a safe move.
The democratic candidates Will receive
a splendid vote, and without doubt
most of them. II not all, will be elected
