CAUCUSES ALL HARMONIOUS.
REPUBLICANS MEET IN SEVEN
OF THE WARDS.
Citizens Named for Delegates to be
Voted for at the Primary
ON Tuesday.


ON Tuesday.
Republican caucuses were held last
night in seven of the nine wards IN the
city for the selection of delegates TO
be voted for at the primary on Iues-
day. The caucuses were generally WeIi
attended, and as a rule the personnel
of the delegates chosen is better tnan
usual.
Tonight the Eighth Ward Republ-
cans vii caucus, but in the First MOTH
ing has yet been heard OF any gather
ing to select delegates.
1t seems to be pretty generally un-
derstood that there will be rival tickets
voted in every Ward, and perhaps sew
eral George H. Clark and William
Land, the candidates for Mayor, will
not, of course, take their chances on
the same set of delegates, and some of
the candidates for minor offices Will,
it is said. have tickets of their own in
some wards.
Matters went off smoothly at the
caucuses last night. They were called
by representative citizens of each
ward, and there We're no divisions and
no such riotous proceedings as have
characterized some caucuses in the
past.
