which will be held on Monday, April
8. was begun yesterday The registra-
ton at the close of the first days
work was quite satisfactory. One hun
bred and fifty-two names had been en-
rolled when the books were closed at
10 o'clock last night. This is very
creditable showing for the first day and
is considerably in excess of the first
days registration last year.

The silver republican central COM
mittee held a meeting night before
1,C TN1,T, ~,f IL. ~.
upon converting was to pass a resolu-
ton that nothing that transpired at
the meeting should be given out for
publication. When Chairman j. W.
James was asked yesterday what, if
any, action the committee had taken,
he replied:
THE committee meeting was secret.
l therefore can give out nothing for
publication" Mr.. James made the
same reply to dozen other questions
put TO him. No announcement. there
fore, can be officially made. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the republic
cans, at their meeting. did not come
to any definite agreement. Mr.. James
said that the committee would probably
hold another meeting within a short
time, at which I'VE might decide to
give out for publication that which we
decide upon"
The republicans, it is generally un-
derstood, are between the devil and the
deep sea. They are unable to deter
mine upon course of action. and the
effort to reconcile the two wings or
factions, which is alleged to have been
made, is said to have been failure,
the party being divided to as great an
extent. if not to greater, than it was
last fall.
The movement for citizens ticket
may not be dead; perhaps it Is only
sleeping. Fol the last couple of days
little or nothing has been heard of the
citizens ticket movement. The citi-
zens' ticket men. so it is said. have
been waiting to see what the republic
cans were going to do, but as the re-
publicans did nothing for publica-
tion,' the citizens ticket is doubtless
as much in the dark as ever. VIVA It
the citizens ticket will develop seems
to depend entirely on the action that
the republicans take.
The latest additions to the aldermanic
candidates, in addition to the names
already mentioned a number of times
in these columns, are the following
First ward Marcus Talbot: Second
ward, Phil Daniels; Third ward, Joe
e. McDonnell; Fourth ward Pat
Dunn; Fifth ward, Joe Sladich; Sixth
ward, F. H. Murphy.
However, don't fail to register to-
day. The books are open but a short
time. On the last days there will prob
ably be such a crowd anxious to reg
lister that some may get left. Register
early, you don't know what may come
up to prevent your registering later
