At a meeting of prominent Democrats

for secretary of state, will speak
The Popuist city committee will meet
at Assembly halls Monday evening and

The Seventh ward Republican precinct
chairmen met yesterday afternoon. The
ward will probably send an uninstructed
delegation to the convention ready TO
vote for the nominee favored by the ma
Jorlty Of the delegates. 1t is the desire
Of the precinct chairmen to have no con.
test at the primaries, but an agreed list
of delegates voted for in each precinct.
1t has been definitely agreed that IIarr;
L. Drake shall be the ward candidate fer
the assembly and c. E. Hamilton the
candidate for ward alderman f. c.
GrlggS, who moved from the Fourth
ward into the Seventh six months ago
and is q pronounced Schiffmann support
er mas been warned by Chester r. Smith
that the Seventh ward delegates will not
stand for any fooLshness and to govern
himself accordingly
The announcement That Mayor Kiefer
would be a candidate for denomination
made by f. G. Wagner to a gang of the
street cleaning force Thursday, night was
verified yesterday by the mayor himself
Inc mayor held a conference yesterday
afternoon with President Ames and Com
missioner Pottsieser, Of the board OF
public works, but this was only as 10
details of the campaign. AS a matter of
fact the mayor has never had any in
tention of not making a try for the nom
nation The mayor says he has been
asked to run by his friends and has con.
sented. He is willing to stand on his
record of the past two years and expects
TO be renominated on the administration
I he has given the city and particularly
the police department end of it, He
stated last evening that he was entirely
in the hands of his friends. AS to Tie
opening of headquarters the mayor had
not decided whether to follow in the foot
steps of the other candidates or not.
F. c. Schifmann after hearing that
Mayor Kiefer was an avowed candidate
for denomination, declared that he felt
confident OF the result. IT am going 10
win if l cam" he said, "and if 1 don't
why | will support the nominee of the
convention"
Chester R. Smith who has been toutej
as stalking horse for Kiefer up to date,
has an idea, or says he has, that the
candidacy Of the present mayor will help
his chances.
Aid. Reeves said the public announce
ment of Mayor Kiefer's desire for a re-
nomination would not affect his plans In
the least.
Joseph Keating, a member of the po-
lice force under Doran, is after the noni-
nation for alderman from the Ninth ward
on the Republican ticket.
The three-cornered deal, between
Reeves, Kiefer and Chester Smith to beat
Schiffmann was a tbunderbolt to some
of the Fifth warders who have been ral-
lying about their aldermanic leader in
the belief that he had chance to corral
the nomination for mayor himself
But when the fact leaked out that the
deal was being put up to secure fat
places for Smith and Reeves in return
for the denomination of Kiefer, the
wrath of some of Reeves supporters
knew no bounds. Charley Parker and
George Warren could not exactly see
what was going to become of them when
the deal was carried through, for Kiefer
never has had any use for them, and ii
is not considered imminent that he would
relent when they have been out on the
hustlings against him, and in support of
Reeves, on a strictly anti-Giefer plat
form. Johnny Selb, too, has been doing
lot of anti-Kiefer talking, and Johnny
can't see just where he comes in if the
tri-partite alliance becomes effective
with Kiefer as the beneficiary in chief
Still, he hopes to drop in somewhere and
string along till the party locally sees
