REPUBLICANS FIRST.
Judge Severance Decides Point for the
City Committees.

The question of the order in which
the parties shall go on the official bal
lots was decided Wednesdayby Judge
Severance in favor of the Republicans.
The question had created some discus
sion, as it was the intention of those
having charge of the matter to place
the Democrats first, basing it on the
vote on mayor at the last city election.
The law requires that it should be based
on the average vote in the city on the
different candidates,at the last general
election which means last fall election
1t was agreed to submit the matter to
Judge Severance, and A. r. Pau Jr.
appeared on behalf of the Democratic
city committee, and B. G. Taylor on
behalf of the Republican city COM
mittee.
The Republican candidates come
first, the Democratic second and the
Independent last The order is sup
posed to make a difference of few

WILL START AGAIN.
Street Railway Ordinance Will be Rein.
PRODUCED.

The parties who are back of the move
to secure street railway and lighting
franchise make no denial of the fact
that they intended that the franchise
should be an exclusive one. Now that
this has been blocked by the opposition
of Mayor Pau, they say that they will
not attempt to pass the ordinance.
In speaking of this matter Wednesday
tempt would be made to pass the ordi
nance over the mayors veto, as that
course would create too much opposi-
ton on the part of the people. Another
ordinance would be introduced, limit
ing the exclusive feature to eight
months, reducing the streets covered by
the franchise to those where the line
would actually be likely to run, and re-
quiring that not less than six miles of
railway be in operation within three
years. He thought that this would eli
inmate the Objectionable feature of the
present ordinance and might prove sat
isfactory all around. He said that he
has never at any time had much faith
that the ordinance would finally be
enacted, as he had expected opposition
from the mayor. if not to the exclusive
feature then to some other feature. 1t
was his opinion that the matter is now
in such condition that it will 'tgo by
the board"
Those who favor the franchise claim
that every alderman knew that the ex-
elusive feature had been left in, but
this is denied by three of the aldermen
For some reason or other the projec-
tors of the enterprise seem to have no
hope of favorable action on the ordi-
nance by the incoming mayor and coun-
Gil, no matter who should be elected

Estimates Made Based on the
Registration.
The Registration Foots up to z,O9z, and
it is Expected That 1890 Votes
Will be Cast.
The registration by wards is as fol

banner ward, but it holds the dlstlnc
ton by only four votes The registra-
tion in all of the wards is unusually
heavy for spring election, and leads
many to predict that fully 1,sOO votes
will be cast. Last fall. nearly 1,7OO
votes were polled, and the same num-
Der for this spring is a very conserva-
tive estimate The fact that there is a
three-cornered contest on for mayor will
ensure heavy vote.

A JUST VETO.

The veto of the street car line fran
chise by Mayor Pfau because it granted
an exclusive privilege, will, the Free
Press believes, meet with the hearty
approval of our citizens generally. Mr.
Pau gave notice to start with that he
would not sign franchise that granted
exclusive privileges to any company
and it seems strange that any further
attempt should have been made to Sc
cure such privileges, especially when
several of the aldermen declined to vote
for an exclusive franchise, and be-
lieved when they voted that the word
had been stricken out of the franchise
asked for. The excuse given by the at
torney for the promoters, that it was
supposed to be all right as the word
exclusive" had been stricken out as to
the city in general and applied only to
the streets in question, looks rather
weak, inasmuch as the network of
streets selected left things in such
shape that it amounted to virtual ex-
elusive franchise f.the whole city II
excluded any electric line that might
want to come into the city from out
side just as .effectually as though il
read exclusive for the entire munich
pality, for it would Shut it out to The
outskirts. where ,it would be of nc
benefit to any one The exclusive right
of any street should be granted to nc
indi yidual, company or corporation
and in protecting the city's rights in
this respect, Mayor Pau is entitled tt
the commentator of every citizen and
taxpayer. There is no objection what
ever to the granting of such franchise
but it should carry 40 exclusive priv
ileges.

The heavy registration is considered
a very favorable indication for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket. When
the stay-at- home vote is brought out
the Republicans always win The
members of the Republican committee
were very confident today, and gave it
out that A. w. Robinson's success is
now assured. The committee held a
meeting last night and received favor
able returns from all along the line.
The Democratic detection in the
First, Second and Third wards is much
greater than was supposed yesterday.
Not only will large number vote for
F. NJ. Currier. the independent candi-
date for mayor, but an equally large
number have come out for Mr.. Robin
son. There will be frightful slashing
of the Democratic ticket in the
Second and Third wards, where
the party is not at all satisfied
with the ticket made up at the Sc
cret caucus at The Saulpaugh and
showed through the convention. Ac-
cording to reports received from these
two wards Messrs Little, Davies and
Brown are to be slaughtered in the
house of their friends. The knife has
been sharpened until the flashing has
been seen and acknowledged even at
the city hall. %, ...
w. B. Davies has not developed the
strength in the lower wards that the
party expected that he would, and it is
now foregone conclusion that Judge
Shissler will have,a walk away. Judge
Shisslers immense popularity with all
classes was demonstrated two years
ago, when he swept every ward in the
city, and it would not surprise his
friends if he repeated the feat this
