Last evening was lively one among
the Republican ringsters, who were
actively at work looking after the de-
tails of getting the right men in the
several wards. The result of their
manipulations, as far as it could be
secured, was as follows: First ward,
Jacob Snyder for First Branch, and
Edward Elliott for Second, the names
of the three remaining inside men for
Second Branch could not be learned;
Second ward, Fred Meyers for First
Branch, w. G. Kasley, Walter Bloom
telr, and one other; Third ward, M. A.
Chew for the winner, although B. f.
Caldwell will be nominated, for First
Branch; for Second Branch, Mr.. Beck
EFT draws a lucky number, and Mr..
Harry Wheat is slated to draw a blank
when it comes to a show down at the
primaries; Fourth ward-Hermann
Hess has been brought forward at the
eleventh hour to knock out Hermann
Zwicker for First Branch, a proceed
ing which, if attempted to be carried
out, will be almost provocative of a
breach of the peace in the usually quiet
Fourth; in the Fifth ward it was sent
cut last night that BUGGY was not in
favor with the high powers now run
ling things, and in the Eighth Knoke
Is all right for First Branch, and Kali
bitter, Blon, James Travis and Doyle
are said to be booked for winners. De-
tails were lacking from the Sixth and
Seventh wards, but the ring appears
to have looked over the entire ground
carefully and to have passed the word
as to who's who"
Mr.. Joseph Bero's friends say he is
SONG to be strictly in it for the Re-
publican nomination for City Sergeant,
and expect him to win. He has been
making a hot campaign, and has par
tfoularly strong support in the South
Side wards. William Truax is also
putting up a strong fight against Nor
rington for Wharfmaster, and the re-
suit is declared to be in doubt by some
close observers.
The Democratic contest for City Ser
geant has narrowed down to James E.
Richardson and John S. Ritz, and
promises to be very interesting, with
honors even. Either gentleman would
! make a strong candidate.
The secretaries of the Democratic
suggestion meetings are requested to
send official copies Of the suggestions
to the office of Robert T. McNichol, No.
1903 Market street, up stairs.
Frank Caldwell, a prominent young
man of the Sixth ward has been sug-
gested as a suitable candidate for the
Second Branch of Council on kle Demo
cratic ticket. Frank is well and pop
ularly known, and would make strong
race if nominated. John Baumann,
of Caldwell's run, has also been sug
gested for place on the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Baumann is a representa-
tive citizen, and a better choice could
not be made.
The developments in the Marshall
county election case, regarding the re-
suit for County Commissioner, were
decidedly interesting, yesterday. Mr..
Dunlevy, the Democratic candidate,
originally elected by more than one
hundred, but who was counted out by
