THE PRIMARY FIGHT IN MANcnEs-
TER GETTING INTERESTING.
NO CANDIDATE IN ONE WARD.
Vacancy in the Council for which
There IL No Announcements OF
NJ. r.ptcr and Mr.. P~orter-Per-
sonaIs and Briefs.

Tho n%olitical situation in Manchester
remains unchanged. There are now two
candidates for the Council from inc
First ward. 10 succeed Mr.. c. ii. sims.
No one has vet announced himself 10
succeed Mr.. Campbell from the Second
Ward. only one candidate has come QUE
from the Third to succeed Mr.. Nelson
whose terms expires, he declining TO
| allow his name TO be used again. TWO
candidates are in the field from the
Fourth. The only salaried offices in
which the incumbents have opposition
are those OF Mayor and High Constable.
The fight for co%nstabulary honors Is a
three-cornered one. with two of the
participants named in honor OF the
Father OF his Country.
All candidates, whether for new honors
or reelection, have issued cards, when
they are placing in the hand or their
friends. For the past few weeks the
iob-printers Of the city have been Kept
busy. No strikingly interesting features
I'm the fight have developed yet. but the
primary Is still nearly n month on ana
II Is a matter Of no doubt that, when the
day of counts" cOmes close 10 hand' the
contest will be enlivened by other candl-
dates, and the vigorous efforts TO secure
popular favor on the part of all.
The City Central Committee has not
vet fixed the day when all candidates
must have their names in, nor the assess
ment to defray the expense of the prl-
mary. but this will be done shortly, no
doubt. The primary. as agreed upon by
the committee, will be held on the lZth
of April, only white men. and those VINO
declare themselves Democrats n their
willingness 10 support the ticket nomi-
mated. being allowed to vote. NO one
has come out for the Council from the
Second Ward. and as the incumbent will
not stand for reelection. it would be
rather singular if no one should consent
to run.
