his time about doing so. While he does not wish to be disturbed in his slumbers, still he is ready to unsheath his knife and jump into the fray. There is an impression abroad that he is already ill it.
 There are about fifty French voters on the list to be made and their friends are very anxious that all or them show up early before the board of registration i'll the city ocurt room Saturday. where w. E. Hebert, lead ing French citizen, will be on hand 10 give them any instruction they may desire. First papers can be obtained any morning in the district court room on Leavenworth street.
 The republicans of Town Plot held up their ward heeler the other day and demanded recognition on the ticket at the con- ing election. stating at the same time that if they didn't get it they would scuttIe the ship election day and send the vessel and all on board to the bottom. The question was submitted to the party advisers and after consld- II decided to ask the residents of ihe classic shades of Town Plot what they wanted. The committee reported that they desired an alderman and guar antee that they should be given man on the board of public works and the board of public safety in case the re publican nominee for mayor wins out. The grand advisers thought this too much and offered them place for At torney Wood or some other Town Plot man on the board of education. The offer was taken under advisement by the outlanders. and acting on the the ory that half q loaf is better than no bread. they concluded to take it. ''I wouldn't give you a whiff out of my pipe" said Town Plot man last night in one of the local cafes. .'for all the promises republican politicians could make from now until the polls close election day. They worked that game on us before and we bit so well 1 sup pose they feel safe in trying another dose on us." It is understood that many of the old time republicans of Town Plot will vote the democratic ticket this fall.
 Already the republican knives are gleaming in the sun and the glare of the electric light. Ingratitude, base in- gratitude, is charged up against the machine in the second and third wards. and the wonder is where Dr Good enough will come out when the knives are again sheathed after election day. The Hon George l.. Liliey feels sore, because the treachery. is laid, not on him. but on those who sat around his table last Friday evening, who put the name of Attorney Durant on the regu- lar caucus ticket and then threw him the night of the caucus. Again, it was at the request of Mir Lilley, so says re- port, that Colonel Doherty's name was put on the third ward ticket for dele gate to the city convention. Some say, however. that the colonel had succeed ed only after hard work in getting his name on the ticket. At all events it was there and it was consequently de- serving of support. It pleased Mir Lil- ley to see it there and he had hoped the colonel would be elected. MT Lil- ley particularly wished that MT Du- rant would be successful, because Mir Durant was of great service to nim in the campaign last fall. It was MT Lilley's political baptism, and it goes without saying that he needed friends. and very good ones. MT Durant was one ef them and in return Mir Lilley did all he could to see him elected a delegate. Alas for the ingratitude of the politician. at least some of them. Those who partook of MT Lilley's hos pitality during the summer; those who laughed at his jokes and predicted great prospects for him in the political world. were the first to baffie his earli- est wishes and expectations. In the small matter of electing his choice on two insignificant ward matters they threw him down. And their excuse is that he tried to make his friends swal- low too much in the colonel and MT Durant. The next act will take place at the convention.
