There was a pleasant little social event
UP in the Seventh ward the other even
ing. The converse ton turned on the
election and one member of the party le-
marked: II hope Chet will be elected,
but that is not so very important. you
know, after all. At any rate we did
what we set out to do. We prevented
the nomination of that horrid Schiffmann

ture'' is the defeated candidate for the
Republican nomination, and the man who
has collected all of the money and done
most of the work in the interests OF

Speaking of the "horrid Schiffmann
creature" the friends of that gentleman
are doing some very effective nit work.
for Harry T. Drake, the Seventh ward
candidate for the assembly. On the
morning of the Republican convention
Mr. Drake announced to a party Of
friends that he would not accept a place
on the ticket if Fred Schiffmann's name
appeared on it; that Schiffmann was a
member of the detestable order of ''Ea-
giles, and that he, Schiffmann was not
fit man to nominate for mayor A few
evenings after the convention there was
meeting of the Fourth ward Republican
precinct committeeman, and several
speeches were made. The one that COM
manded the loudest and the longest lr-
plause was one in which the statement
above made was vouched for by an officer
of the organization, and the word was
passed along the line for every friend of
Sch1nmann and every friend of the order
of Eagles to give Mr. Drake the knife,
and give it to him deep. Since then
Schiffmann has publicly declared that he
will support the whole ticket, including
Drake, but his friends are less CON-
plaisant, and will remember Drake.
The Republican committee has so many
troubles of it's own that it has no time to
listen to the plaintive walls of August
Fitzer for help. Between Sam Lowen-
STEMS rat cigars and his worse advice,
the committee is at skies and sevens with
its own membership, and Chiefly has
plainly told the friends of Filter that he
will not stand for the coupling of his
name with that Of the candidate for treas
urer. The working Republicans who have
had doings with Fitzer when they weTe e
candidates and he was merely work
ing" are disposed to give him dose of
his own medicine, and insist that he shall
pay HIS campaign assessment or get out
and hustle for himself. Since mis- prac-
teal turn-down by Smith, Goss refuses
to play, and isn't doing anything.
, Billy Johnson can't afford to alienate
his friends in the Eighth ward by pushing
things too far, and Oar Reese hasn't got
the ice out that was showed down his
back on the afternoon Of March 29. Don

Ike Lederer left, and Schiffmann has to
performed. There is only Schifmann ana
of duty religiously but half-heartedly
go out of town to get up steam about
every third day, while Ike isn't as good
politician as many men who are bet
ter. There is absolutely no heart or en-
thusiasm in the Chiefly campaign, and
whenever there is meeting where Schiff-
mann and he are present, Schiffmann gets
the applause, and Chet gets something
that looks and sounds amazingly like the
marble heart.
