ward, has served two terms and Is dis
posed to make it three. AS yet no op-
position to his reelection has devel-
oped.
James Kearney will try to succeed
himself in the Third ward, but will
have active opposition.
Richard H. Williams president, and
Hon. John f. ..oche, the Democratic
leader of the upper branch, are finish
ing their third and second terms, re-
spectively, as city fathers, but both
are willing to take on the cares of the
office for another term and things point
toward their constituents making this
demand on them.
George Carson, John Lewis and John
Marshall have been discussed as OPP
ponents of Mr.. Williams. Mr. Carson
and Mr.. Marshall have both assured
him, however, that they are candidates
only on condition that he does not seek
reelection. They are, therefore, out
of the field.
Ex-Common Councilman NJ. F. Gill
roy has announced himself as a can
didate for select council from the Sew
enth.
C. f. Chittenden, who is rounding out
lNelllH year III the COunCllS, IOuT
years as a commoner and eight as a
member of the upper house, will seek
reelection. His only opponent so far
mentioned is Peter Haan, superinten-
dent of The Tribune's press room. No
Democrat has as yet come out for the
place.
j. j. Schneider, who was chosen one
year ago to fill the uneXpired term OF
Edward Robinson, deceased, seeks re-

opposition from either side.
LIVELY TIMES IN FIFTEENTH.
The Fifteenth ward promises to de-
velop its usual hot fight. Horatio 7.
Fellows, who is serving his second
term, wants another four years, but
to secure a reelection must overcome
Druggist d. NJ. Jones and ex-Common
Councilman Joseph Oliver, who let a
reelection to the lower branch go by
the board last year to get in trim for
the select council next year. John
Wagner jr., who has unsuccessfully
tried for both common and select
council from this banner Republican
ward, will also be a candidate.
j. A. Lansing will probably have no
opposition from the Seventeenth ward.
1t Is one of the strongest Republican
wards of the city and a nomination Is
equivalent to an election.
Edwin Frable, the Democratic mem
Der of the select from the Nineteenth
ward, will seek a denomination and
will be opposed by Thomas Gilboy.
! Gearhart Dresser is a candidate for the
Republican nomination.
In the Twenty-first ward, John ].
McAndrews, who was elected as an
independent will in all probability
seek a denomination and election at
the hands of the Democrats of the
ward. Henry Jifkins has announced
| himself as candidate for the Republi-
| can nomination.
In the common council the terms of a
number of the most prominent mem
| bers expire. They will make a deter
mined effort to return.
| Morris " Morris is a candidate to
| succeed himself in the Second ward
and the other candidates for the Re-
| publican nomination are Simon James
and James Powell. Thus far the Dem
ocratic aspirants have been a little shy
about coming forward.
THE FOURTH WARD.
In the Fourth ward, w. V. Griffith
the present efficient member, and VIII
| liam Parry will contest for the Repub-
lican nomination.
