SOME CONTESTS IN OTHER DISTRICTS

Politics are daily assuming more and
more definite shape. and by degrees the
several city council tickets are being
made up in order TO be presented to the
caucuses next week. Tomorrow after
noon the Republican city convention
will be held. and there is no doubt or
the nomination of Charles Dean KIM
ball of the Eighth warC1 as the Repub-
lican candidate for the mayoralty.
There is also no doubt that j. L. =.
Bucklin. the present harbor master,
will also be nominated. What will be
done concerning nominations for city
treasurer and oYerseer OF the poor mas
not vet been definitely decided upon,
as many members of the party are in
favor of indorsing the present office
holders.
In regard to the city council there
do not seem 10 be many changes sched-
uled. that is to say any changes or inn
portance. In the First ward things ap-
peared 10 be all settled. but last even
ing a good government ticket loomed
up. and IL is as follows: For alder
man, John G.. Pegram: councilmen, X.
T. Brown. II. f. Dwyer Theodore Il.
Green. Frank l.. Hinckley. This means
the dropping OF the name of the pres
ent councilman. G.. Richmond Parsons,
the floor and in committee, but VINO
evidently -has-not- pleased The -gentle-
men connected with the Good Gov
ernment faction. There seems to be no
| doubt. however. that Mr.. Parsons VIII
! be in the Common Council again next
! year. but there is some doubt about
| Mr.. Robert Il. Brown. and IL is not un-
! likely that the Republicans will nomi-
nate in his place Mr.. John f. Hurley,
who was a candidate last year.
THE FOURTH WARD TICKET.
The Fourth ward Republican couAfl
ticket will be: For alderman, HenNy
Il Winship: for cOuncdlmen. Joseph II
Kendrick. A. j. Cushing. Henry G. II.
Rawson and Irving l.. Blanchard, drop
ping one of the present members, DR.
| Swar-ts There seems to be no doubt
that this ticket will be endorsed by the
Democrats.
In the Sixth ward there is no doubt
that Alderman Sreeman will succeed
himself and Mr.. Trask will have to be
content 10 remain i'm the lower branch
; II is now practically decided that the
Eccleston to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Councilman Boms.
In the Seventh ward there may be 2
contest for the aldermanic 1omina tior
between the present incumbent. Alder
man Remington and Councilman Lewis
sons who believe that Mr.. Remington
will withdraw. but Mr.. bennington who
ought TO know. says that he will not
do so.
OF course. in the Eighth ward the
, Fletcher Darling contest will be ths
principal event Of interest. and feeling
is said 10 be running very high indeed
There is no question that the caucus
next Wednesday evening will be one OF
the most interesting in the history oi
the ward
