POLITICAL POINTERS
Socialist Party Wants Mayor to Call
 Public Meeting.

a Public Meeting.
 Branch No 2 of the socialist party of this city has forwarded a communica- tion to Mayor Kilduff requesting him to call public meeting for the pur- pose of discussing the coal question. Just what action his honor will take, on the matter is not known, but it is safe to state that if a mass meeting should be called it will be the hottest thing that ever took place in this town even though there was not bod or coal within miles of the building where the meeting takes place Every body is up in arms over the strike in the mines and if it keeps on much longer there is likely to be trouble, for people will have to get something to burn and those who cannot purchase coal or wood will be in a bad box, Politics seems to have been eliminat- ed from the question and in conse- quence it is nothing uncommon to hear the national government getting Hail Columbia from men who have voted for that party all their lives, hut now claim that they have got their eyes opened and intend to make more judicious use of the franchise. Eff this be what they have brought us to- said an enraged citizen this 4Orning they have gall to put a ticket in the field this fall Just think Of it. fight with ten men on one side and all the rest of the people on the other and the chance of winning out in favor of the ten meni This is not a workingman's quarrel 1t is some thing that concerns rich and poor alike When handful of men can tell the president of the United States to go to h-I, for what they have said Is tantamount to that, it is time We began to inquire what's up. If this thing is not checked soon the people of this country will have another Civil war inside of ten years"
 The registrars and their deputies are busy to-day taking the names or applicants to be made electors. They will be in session until o'clock this afternoon.
 The socialist branches of the fifth senatorial district has nominated F. K. Perry for state senator. The local branch has nominated F. F. Hahan and D. G. Earl for representatives; also William Heyer for judge of probate.
 Registrar James A. Hynes was ask ed to-day if he had anything to say regarding the application of John H. Flanagan for a recount of the ballots cast at the last town election. He said he had not. His case, he said, is in the hands of Attorney John O'Neill, and will be conducted on it's merits. s@5sa..-<
 Attorney Marsh and Attorney Bau- by have locked horns over the re- publican nomination for judge of pro- bate and have stirred LID such a rum pus that the machine has not moved peg during the past week and all the managers are in a quandary to hit upon plan to straighten out the tangla. After watching the scram- ble for some time and seeing things grow from bad to worse it was de cided to call in the Honorable George l.. Lilley, the party's nominee for con- gressman at large, to separate the combatants, but from all accounts in stead of helping matters the efforts of the would-be congressman at large made things worse than ever. Any way since MT Lilley was brought into 1t the fight has waXed warmer than ever before and in the melee MT Lil- ley is getting some hard knocks. The Bauby men accuse him of taking sides with Attorney Marsh and declare that while he may turn things that way their day will follow later. The Baubyites allege that the nomination was promised to them before the del- gates were chosen and that the bring ing in of Marsh is something which was trumped up by few of Bauby's personal enemies. It is being openly stated that whatever it means George L. Lilley is at the bottom of it and that the calling in of him to settle the dispute was simply part of a clev- erly concoeted scheme of politicians to Oust Bauby. The amusing part of the scrap, viewed from the standpoint of a democrat. is to know what they are warning about. Don't they know that whoever the republicans nominate won't come within miles of keeping up with Judge Loves chariot. The two attorneys should bury the axe and not waste their energy striking at each other for nothing. 1t is stated that Marsh has majority of the delegates and that he can have the nomination if he wants it. The machine is very anxious to have things settled but up to press hour the battle was raging.
