THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Fred n. mayberry TALKED OF For
Mayor.

Up to yesterday there was little talk
among the voters of the Republican par
" as to their mayoralty candidate.
There was no lack OF interest and none
OF the general apathy" the Democratic
papers have talked 30 muon about, but
the feeling was general that IL was not
necessary for the Republican party to
pick out q mayor two months befors
the time OF election or to settle upon
any man until the voters In the party
have been given an opportunity of ex-
pressing their choice in the matter.
Yesterday, however, the talk seemed
TO be quite common on the street that
the man who would be offsred the nomi-
nation would be Fred N. May berry. Mr..
May yberry is not candidate for the office.
so It is well understood, and has not
asked his friends to support him for the
position, but yesterday bis name was be-
ing freely mentioned and 1t was the gen
eraI opinion that the domination might
be off cred TO him. MIR. Theodore Josse-
Iyn. whose name has often been mem
toned In this oonneotion, yesterday an
nounced that he would not accept the po-
sition because of business reasons. Hon.
James r. Baxter, whose name has also
often been mentioned, Informed some
gentlemen who called upon him q short
time ago that he could not accept the
nomination under any conditions.
There are some lively contests In pro-
gress In some OF the wardsof the city for
the Republican nominations for alder
men ana oouncilmen. In Ward there ID
four-cornered fight in progress which
has been attracting a great deal OF at
tention. Three of the candidates for the
nomination for aldermen In this ward
are now representing the ward in the
common couuniI These are Capt George
A. Dow, Charles A Sloman and Ernest
True, while the fourth man is james A.
Pine, All of these candidates have tho
roughly oanvassed the ward and the
usual exciting caucus ts anticipated on
Monday night. There are several con-
tsstants in the field for nomination as
90 oanoilmen in this ward.
In Ward there is another contest In
progress for the nomination as alder
man, the candidates being Counoilmen
Arthur x. Hunt and Calvin Il. Wood
side, and there are also several candidates
for nomination as counoiimen. In Ward
Z the contest for the nomination for al
derman is between james q. Fox and
Arthur IL. Moulton. There are several
candidates for the nomination as ooun-
cilInen In this ward also. In Ward the
candidates for nomination for alderman
ara William b. johnson. the present
oou noiIman from that ward. and George
W. Smith. In Ward 9 the candidates for
nomination as alderman are Elbridge l.,
Cobb and Charles 5. Farnham.
