Active-TaIls That They VIII Nominate
for Mayor Man Not Yet Mentioned
Ward Meetings Held by Democrat,
Yesterday-Arrangeme for Making
New Oters.
Democrats were busy about the city
yesterday holding meetings in various
wards and laying final plans for the
primaries which are to be held to-mor-
row night. Many rumors are afloat
CONCERNING the situation in local demo-
cratic politics and each faction is MAX
Ing claims, some conservative, but most
of them considerably exaggerated.
There are in the present contest for the
democratic nomination for mayor so
many uncertain factors that it is i'm
possible to forecast the result with any
degree of accuracy, and the claims and
statements made by politicians are
nearly all so biased that it is impossible
to form any other conclusion from them
than that the men making them are
talking we'll for their factions.
The republicans are not holding meet
ings so frequently nor so publicly as
their democratic opponents, but the
general purpose among them seems to
be to pick out for the nomination for
mayor the best man who will accept
the nomination. 1t is generally believ-
ed that the nominee will be some man
whose name has not yet been mentioned
in connection with the nomination. The
republican committee will meet this
inc for tha Of ipe
for holding the ward caucuses, which
will probably not be held until next
week.
Yesterday afternoon the democratic
administration faction of the Sixth
ward met at No. Il Greene street to
