LOUlS'S FATE.

The friends of Louis Stubenvoll, the
s'leader' of the Republican forces in the
Ninth ward, have had no end of fun with
him over his actions since he failed to
land on the Executive Committee of the
County Committee Louis insists that all
reports about his voluminous petition ask
ing for reinstatement are dead wrong"
mo one really seems to understand the
situation precisely said he. Now, from
the very start it was understood among
the leaders that I did not want the place.
That was settled definitely"
But Louis's friends laugh loudly and ask
him if such is really the case, why did he
present the petition to the Ward Associa-
tion of the Ninth ward? Louis hopes to
have the matter drop out of sight in or
der to heal the differences now existing
between him and some of the assistant

WILL NOT Be MISSED.
Republicans Inclined to
Sheer at Mr.. Baldwin's
Withdrawal From
Their Party.

The announcement in the Tribune"
that Aaron S. Baldwin, Of Hoboken, has
become disgusted with the Republican
machine and intends henceforth to go his
way as a lone Independent, was received
with indifference by the Republicans gem
orally. Few could be found to discuss
the affair. Baldwin's prestige among Re-
publicans has been gone for some time,
they all said, and as he has been at log
gerheads with the leaders of late his
withdrawal from the ranks is an incident
not at all surprising.
Baldwin too was inclined to be reti-
cent when questioned concerning his
withdrawal "The thing in a nutshell is
this said he, 81 attended the Republic
can Convention Wednesday night and
found my name heading the list on the
Second ward ticket for delegates to the
State Convention. There was no opposi-
tion to this ticket, I was informed / left
the convention early and did not know the
game that had been sprung on me until
the following morning. The ticket shown
to me originally ran like this:-A. Bald
win, E. Martin and P. Kessler. The one
elected was this:-P. Kessler, E. Martin
and Frank Neiman. My ticket got but
three out of the thirty-seven votes cast.
When 1 learned this I became disgusted
with the whole thing and decided to quit
at once. Work like that is not the work
of honorable men, I believe, and with
others do not desire to associate. That's
all there is to it. l have determined to
strike clear of the machine and in the
future will refuse to have anything to do
with it. My years of devotion to the
party have been forgotten, it would APP
pear. It's not new thing for Republic
cans to do, though. It's an old story in
fact
