lower the Danish standard to the

leaders waited on Mr.. Vaughan ana

The Democratic situation also under
went complete change. Prof. Costello
withdrew and left Mr.. McAndrew in the
field alone. The Costello supporters will
not have Mr.. McAndrew, It is said. and
can be expected to choose Mr.. Vaughan
as their candidate the moment he comes
into the caucus. 1t is almost as good
as certain that the fight in the Demo-
cratic caucus tonight will be between
McAndrew and Vaughan.
There is another movement afoot
among the Republicans to elect Mr..
Oliver to the chair. 1t was rtimored
last night that the necessary one Demo-
cratic vote had been secured. Whether
or not this Is SO will develop when
noses are counted at tonight's Demo-
cratic caucus.
The Democrats of common council
claim they have effected a combination
with enough Republicans to insure the
election of Mr.. Calpin as chairman. 10
do this they had to sacrifice the clerk
ship and agree that the assistant city
clerk should be named as clerk of the
common council. The Republicans, on
the other hand, say that they have the
necessary twenty votes secure and that
they will control the organization with
