REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Jan. 31.-Colonel Joe Flory
reached Washington this evening and Is
registered at the Ebbitt. He says he Will
remain in Washington a week OF more. but
declines to state the object of his visit.
Il come to this city every year. he says,
.and this is one of my periodical visits
have no special business at the House or
Senate. however.
Colonel Flory would not say that he does
not have particular business at the White
House and his friends are tollying him
about an ambition to serve the Government
in various important positions, which de-
sire he will neither admit nor deny to-
night.
Speaking of the State railroad commits

regarding the matter. except that l want
the Supreme Court, the highest in the State,
to determine the legal question as to wheth-
er or not a vacancy existed: and whether
Ex-Governor Stephens could take unto him

WILL FILE DELEGATIONS TODAY.
Democrats to Make Final Prepare
ti0n for the Primarfes.

DELEGATIONS will be filed by noon to-day by
supporters OF the various candidates for
Mayor at the Democratic primaries. Three
candidates are now in the field-Rolla Wells
of the Twenty-fifth Ward. Zach W. Tinker
Of the Twelfth Ward and Z. A. Noonan Of
the Seventeenth Ward
Wells delegations will be filed from all
wards, and his supporters claim that his
nomination is foresone conclusion. 1T, the

NOOnan VIII file delegations in only about
sixteen wards. but claims that in the rest

As the situation appears at this time,
Noonan will carry three wards. Tinker five
and the rest will go for Wells. Whatever
disposition there has been on the part Of
OF Wells has been abandoned. and all indi-
cations point TO pacific primary contest
in which the will of the majority will be
cheerfuily submitted to and the best man
will be selected.
Efforts on the part of some men repre-
senting the party have been made to nomi-
ures, and it appears that the convention
will be absolutely unp!edged to any candi-
date.
In a number of the wards overenthusiastic
Wells men have selected more than one
delegation. This probably will be arranged
to-day. for, while 1t Is certain that Wells

The Tinker followers were hopeful, IL not

upon his followers. but they have decided
to fight to the finish, and come over only
after they find that their man IL an abso-

are expected to be filed to-day, but in what
wards contests would be made by them

The Wells supporters were not the least
alarmed by the prospect of a fight in most
Of the wards.

Chairman Guion. Either a fight or & lay
