dorsement as mayor. and made ITO effort
in that direction
%NS
Aid. Reeves is so long getting started
that some of his friends are advising that
he walt until 1902 to make a Try for the
nomination for mayor. Reeves was ac-
coSted by a well-known Democratic poll
tician yesterday and asked how things
looked from his point of view. '"rhey
look fine" responded the Fifth ward al
derman, ':and you are just the man l was
looking for. You live in the Seventh pre-
cinct OF the Fourth don't you?" The pol
1tician explained that he didn't, and told
where he resided. ''Well, that viii be
better yet" said Reeves, as he pulled
from his pocket small book and noted
down the name. you come TO the con-
Ventlon for me, and 1 will see that you
are not forgotten" and with this the
would-be mayor started off,
He wouldn't, he would and he wouldn't.
This Is the status Of the candidacy of
Assemblyman Kirlse for denomination to
the position he now holds up to date. 1T
may be that the Seventh ward assembly
man will again change his mind, but the
latest bulletin from his headquarters is
to the effect that he would not be can
didate. When he first declared himself
out OF the race Harry Il. Drake was
chosen as the man for the mantle to fall
on. Then the evening organ declared
that I<irke could not be elected dog
catcher" and this warmed Mr.. Kirke up
so that he said he would be a candidate.
Now he takes the ground that Drake
having been brought out partly through
his declining a denomination. 1t would
not be fair to intrude, and on this account
will not run. In the fall Mr.. Kirke may
be induced to become candidate for
county auditor.

man every time there has been chance.
1 am going to try and break the combl-
nation or hoodoo this time"
