VERY IMPORTANT
All nominees or parties who intend to run
as independent candidates on the city
ticket, or nominees who desire to withdraw,
if any such there are, are notified that the
time for filing petitions or Withdrawals for
the municipal election to be held December
S, 1898, expires at midnight tomorrow
Monday.
This notice is given with emphasis, first
on account of the First ward troubles over
the nominee for council, which are dis
cussed later on, and secondly because Ger
tain nominees have intimated that they
would withdraw, and unless they do sc
legally, in time for their placeslon the ticket
to be filled, the union party will have to
lose the chance Of electing anyone to the
positions, the nomination for which they
hold.
1t is understood that Willard Stimson
has refused to run for council in the FIFTH
ward, but it is hoped he has reconsideret
the matter, since up to last night he haC
filed no formal withdrawal with Cler,
Hance.
The petition of Alexander M. Bragg as
candidate for school director from the Sew
enth ward has been fled He takes the
place of Hawkins on the ticket.
Rumors are current that Mr.. Walker
candidate for city assessor on the union
ticket, and B. f. Louder, Republican can
didate for council from the Seventh ward
intend to withwraw, but no foundation fol
the rumors can be sVSEd.
