The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-02-18

office. yesterday afternoon and came sud
denly on group of politicians who We're
discussing the chances of the Republican
candidates for the mayoralty nomina
ton.
Chester R. Smith will be the next can
didate for mayor" announced Judge
Egan in a loud voice as he hurried past.
The next instant Mr.. Smith came along
the hall and there was a shout Of laugh
ter from the crowd "Chet" denied. with
a show of indignation, that Egan was
plugging for him.
William McTeague, of the Omaha shops,
is mentioned as a suitable Democratic
candidate for alderman of the Fifth ward.
The Lincoln club now sees the mistake
lit made in assigning its committees for
the banquet. 1t will probably have to
assess its members to make up de-
f1ciency owing to the limited number
of plates disposed Of. Had the club the
foresight to have appointed Messrs. Selb
and Parker on the finance committee the
club would in all probability have a sur
plus Instead of a shortage, as both OF
these young Republicans have had finan-
cia1 experience.
S. p. Spates, of the Seventh ward, and
former Aid. Lindahl, Of the First ward
are said to be stated for appointment as
members of the board Of public WORKS
to succeed John Sandel and Ernest L.
Mabon, whose terms of Office expire on
March 1.
The friends Of Assemblyman Albrecht,
who have been suggesting his name as
one of the available candidates for nom->
nation as mayor by the Republican con-
vention have arrived at the conclusion
that his nomina ton Is impossible. Mr..
AIbrecht, during his four years In the
assembly, has opposed the interest OF
the corporations on every measure before
the council This position, while making
him many friends and supporters among
the voters, has not endeared MIN 10 the
gentlemen who are looking out for the
interests of the corporations. The result
of this is that while Mr.. Albrecht might
get votes enough to elect him ii nom
mated. the corporation interests Will see
to it that he does not get enough votes III
the convention to make him candidate.
The Fourth ward Republican precinct
committeeman will hold a meeting at
the Windsor hotel tomorrow evening at
o'clock The meeting will be to fix up
things for the nomination Of Aid. Reeves
| for mayor President Pottgieser, OF the
board of public works, it is understood,
will offset the meeting by another at ms
Mace of business at the same hour In the
interests Of Mayor Kiefer. Both meet
ings promise to be well attended
The friends of M. J. Moriarty. and
thew are legion. are insisting that he ac-
| cept the Democratic nomination for al
derman of the Sixth ward. While Mr.
Moriarty is active in politics, he does
not take kindly to the idea of himself
running for Office but 1t looks now as IL
he must accede to the wishes OF his
friends Mr.. Moriarty was born IN the
ward and is we'll known to nearly every
resident of that part Of the city and high
ly esteemed by his acauaintances.
The name of J. G. Wardell Is being
freely mentioned as the Sixth wards
candidate for the assembly. Mr.. War;
dell is not a politician in any sense OF
the word, but he wants to see instailed
once more in ST. Paul clean and efficient
government and If he can be OF actiVe
assistance In bringing about that mucn
desired condition, his time and services. II
Is understood, are at the command OF ms
neighbors and the citizens generally MT.
WardeIl Is an old resident of St Paul and
is widely and favorably known, especially
in business circles.
The removal Of Thomas Yorke, street
commissioner of the Fifth and Sl4ln
| wards. Is not very we'll received by the
English-speaking Republicans Of these
| wards. 1t is reported that another unsat-
| isfactory man Is to be appointed as fore
man. IT is stated that County Attorney
I Rigelow, Aid Reeves and Boss Picha
| have at last accomplished what they have
been after for four years. Mr.. Bigeiow
tried hard to land Schultz while he was
| a member of the council, but Thomas
| Yorke at that time had the backing or
| Assemblyman DAILY, who landed Mr..
| Yorke Mr.. Yorke had the backing of the
business men for the place as well as

try to be given any consideration at the
| hands of the present administration. one
| Republican of the Fifth ward said yester-
| day that IL Yorees name was York

been retained in his position. The APP

poets of carrying the Fifth ward pri-
marfes.
