ward Nomination for Lesis-
latuse in 4th Dist.

All arrangements for the mass meet
this evening were concluded at the
meeting Of the executive comnittee.
which was held last evening 1t was a
stormy meeting while it lasted, and
there were a number of hot speeches
The list of speakers was not fully made
up, owing to. the absence of John EN-
meIuth, who has had that feature Of
the affair in charge.
A copy of the Ieper settlement bill
of wilcox was received in the mail,
and was read and given some discus
sion. There was no final statement
made, and the matter will come UP
later. The mass meeting affairs and
the central committee matters occupied
the entire time OF the meeting. The
committee reported the resolutions
which it was instructed to bring up.
and there was little discussion on them
as they were brief. The matter Of the
speakers was left In some doubt, as
there are expected to arrive in the XII
nau several members of the party, who
will have a chance TO speak If they
wish. Prince Cupid is also expected to
return.
The matter Of the reorganization OF
the party was discussed at some length,
but there the same conditions arose,
and there was no decision reached, the
members of the central committee not
forcing the fight in the absence or
Prince Cupid, who will be expected to
have great deal to say, as he viii,
n In
friends, accept the nomination or MS
party for the lower house, If for no
other purpose than to gauge the
of the party in the Fourth
District. The central committee VIII
take up It's work regularly at once, ana
push 1t along rapidly.
MAN TO OPPOSE CUPID.
The question of a Republican candi-
date to make the race against Cupid
Is occupying the minds of many mem
bers of that party. The first consid-
Grafton is the plan for making the nom
nation. The course proposed by some
Of the leaders is to allow the nomina-
ton to be made by the committee OF
the Fourth District There are some
members Of the party who believe that
the province of the committee In this
matter is to call a district convention
10 make the choice. This would bring
md would make the nominee absolute
y the man OF the majority of the vot-
.rs of the dominant party In the dis
rict.
The matter OF names OF candidates Is
,ne which is made to fit every coterie
\ hich gathers. J. A. Gilman said To
riends yesterday, when his name was
mentioned as the probable choice OF
he party in the district, that he did
lot want the nomination at all. This
'eerns to be the case with most OF the
recognized leaders of the party in the
Fourth District, and II may be that
nan win have to be induced to re-
move from another district to make
light against the Home Rule nominee.
Charles 3. Wilson has been named Al
me who would make strong fight for
he Republican ticket, and the name or
:. V. Gear has been used as pros
)ective candidate for the place. 1t iS
that there must be put up
nan who will unite the Republican par
y and that there must be MADE
lard fight if the nominee of the other
ide is to be beaten.
The question which is thought to be
,efore the leaders Of the parties, is
which shall get the big end of the
vote. At the last election
he highest Republican vote in the
Tourth District was 1,2S6. that or the
ate a T. Gnfllan; the highest home
Ruler. J. s. Quinn, got sl4; the mrs.
democrat, F. c. Macfarlane, got 600
NE Home Rulers affect TO believe they
yil get the entire Democratic vote
yhtcf VIII make il certain that they
vi win. The Republicans expect to
.,ll their vote and insist that with
ne showing Of the Democrats at the
ast election there is 10 reason TO De
'eve there viii be any abandonmeEt
f the field by that party. Should -
1t out of the way It is thought tnat
7ore than half the Democrats VIII q
r the Republican side
II is expected that the Republcans at
heir meeting Monday viii take up TINS
7atter and settle the mode of naming
