| Seventh ward:

For member Of the board of education
No candidates have been announced. Cap
tain Bragg has scared his Republican
brethren so badly they are loath to ask
for the nomination.
| Eighth ward:
| For councilman-No takers. The Repub-
lican nomination in this ward is such a
forlorn hope that no one has thus far been
brave enough to stand up for slaughter.

Will Stearns, school teacher and medica:
student.
Ninth ward:
For OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Blanch-
ard, incumbent who will undoubtedly be

Judge J. w. Hendricks has clear field.
| The Democratic city convention has been
called for Monday, October 18th and the
primaries for Saturday, October 18th. The
primaries will be held and delegates will be
elected by precincts. The call will be pub
| lished in q few days.
| Coalition OF the silver forces upon a city
ticket seems to have received a severe blow
somewhere near the solar plexus. The
three fusion committees have adjourned
sine die and informed the public that the
demands of the several parties are so con-
1icting and irreconcilable and that the
members of the committees stand so firmly
for their demands that compromise and
concession are out of the question and fu-
sion impossible.
The fact that these committees have dis
agreed should not lead busy bodies to be-
lieve that there will be no fusion. There
Is no doubt that the rank and file Of the
three parties desire fusion and at the
proper time will have 1t. The labor of
these committees was preliminary merely.
They could not agree. Other committees
may agree and the conventions themselves
will undoubtedly take up the matter and
adjust it to the satisfaction of all OF the
parties.
The committees on fusion upon a county
ticket were also unable to agree, but the
conventions solved the difficulty to the
satisfaction of the three parties and every
| thing turned out we'll
1t is quite as necessary to have fusion in
the city as in the county The same re-
forms are to be accomplished and the
same abuses to be corrected in the one as
in the other. Without union Of forces the
result Is uncertain. The common enemy is
strong and united. United we stand, divided
| we fall.
| The Republican party Of this city has
been anxiously awaiting the announce
| ment that the committees could not arrive
at an amicable and fair agreement From
| that announcement it has taken hope and
now expects to elect its ticket. But 1t Is
probably hoping in vain. The conventions
Of the three parties will fnd a solution OF
| the whole difficulty and will nominate a
union ticket which. like the county ticket,
will sweep everything before 1t.
| Steps have already been taken which will
bring about a union ticket. The Populists
and Silver Republican parties have called
their conventions for the 18th of October,
| the same date as the Democratic conven-
ton. These conventions will appoint new
conference committees and will be on hand
| to settle all disputes on short order.

speech at the Mcguire wigwam Saturday
night The hour was late when he arose

| minutes and treated them to considerable
| good sense and not little Of merriment.
Barlow has improved in his speech-making
powers. His answers to criticisms Of him
self were clear-cut and satisfactory.
Mr.. E. I. Woodman, candidate for state
