THE LEAGUE TICKET.
A STRONG ONE TO BIZ PUT IN THE
FIELD THIS WEEK.
THE SITUATION IN JACKSON WARD.
The Campaign VIII he Hotter Than
Ever from Now Until the Primary
Waiting for Assessments to BE
Paid--Raliies of the Unferrified.

Paid-Raliies of the Unferri6ed.
1t has been the proud boast of the po-
litical club men within the last week that
the Good Government League has been
unable to rally its forces, and was to all
intents and purposes a dead letter In this
campaign. That this belief is based upon
false hypothesis will be made manifest
early this week. when the league Will
enter the lists with full council ticket
for every ward.
This ticket Will embrace some Of the
men who are already out, but it will
also introduce men whose names are
well known throughout the length and
breadth of the city, and who are recog-
nized as men in whom the public may
repose the most complete confidence.
Further than this. they are said to be
thoroughly representative of all the
walks Of life.
This much was said by a prominent
member Of the league last night When
this ticket is named a long manifesto
viii accompany it, in which the argu-
ments so far exploited by club members
will be combated. The league, 1t is said,
has been hard at work. and though no
public announcements have been made,
there have been meetings nearly every
night. 1t is claimed for it that it Is far
stronger than last year, and the Execu-
tive Committee expect confidently TO send
a substantial majority of its nominees
TO the Council The fight has only just
begun, and the next two weeks will be
the liveliest in the campaign.
STORM CLOUD IN JACKSON WARD.

Council last night. 'The Democratic
Committee has endorsed the action of
the recent convention, and will declare
the candidates nominated the representa-
tives of the party at the election.
Nevertheless, the malcontents will hold
a meeting on Tuesday night at Brook
avenue, and an independent ticket may
be looked for. 1t is claimed by the DIS
satisfied ones that the representation
had not been fairly distributed, yet the
