Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-23

MT Meigs. Last week he was elected a member of the town committee in place of Alderman Goss, resigned, and last night to be elected secretary of the caucus was piling it on certainly. He had close escape from being run for alderman. The resignation of MT Goss from the town committee, and his declinatfon to run for reelection as alderman means something and every indication is taken to mean that he will certainly be the republican candidate for mayor.
 The delegates elected in the second ward were as follows City delegates. Henry L. Wade, Augustus A. Crane, Samuel Sloan, George A. Driggs, Carl A. French, George L. Jenks. Town delegates, Walter G. Morse, U. G, Church, Roland F Andrews, Henry L. Dyson, Samuel J Marsh, William J. Pape. For aldermen, George M. Beach, Louis Gates, Charles L. Holmes.
 The ticket selected by the fifth ward is as follows:
 Aldermen, Charles E. Griswold, John Sirica and Theodore A. Munson. Del egates to the city convention, Martin
 F. Perfotnson and Bernard F Reid. Delegates to the town convention, Mat thew Carolan and William R. McVit- tie. The delegates go to the conven. ton free to pick their own candidates.
 George A. Nettleton will be candi- date for city clerk, as he is the favorite with the delegates chosen last night.
 The supporters of Attorney Lynch in the third ward will meet tonight in Central Labor hall to make up ticket.
 J.J. Macauley. Adam Ca1len and T. H. Hewitt are said to be the candi- dates slated for aldermanic honors at the third ward republican caucus to- night.
 It was said to-day that the delegates to the city convention chosen last night at the first and fifth ward republican caucuses are Doherty men. and as a result some of the old liners don't know what to make of the situation.
 The Brophy- Murray Dunn faction will hold an open air meeting tonight at the corner of South Leonard and Fifth streets. They will hold two meetings tomorrow night on South Main street and another in Dunn's hall.
 Alderman Robert Walker of the third ward will not be candidate for re- nomination. He has served the city for four years as alderman and has filled the position in an efficient man. ner. He says, however. that four years as alderman is sufficient. s*#
 James Filling, who was renominated for the position of alderman by the re- publicans of the first ward at their caucus last night, said after the eau GUS: II thought that there was going to be some opposition. l wish there was. I didn't want a renomination for alderman"
 Several new candidates are being mentioned in connection with the re- publican nomination for city clerk, but it is generally believed that at the rounding up George H. Nettletor, the present assistant clerk, will be in tho lead. He is a good republican and yet not an offensive partisan and as his work is eminently satisfactory it is doubtful if his party will think of making a change at this time. What does the nomination amount to any, way for republican? The democrats will have MT Ryan in the field so that I the chance of winning over such a competitor is very slim.

 The caucus of the third ward repub- l licans will be held in the City hall to- night and there promises to be warm clash between members of the Citizens 1 alliance and the old line republicans in that ward. The former, headed by Judge ePasIey and "Ben' Kelsey, are red hot after the scalp of Fred Ches- ! son, one of the present aldermen from the third They will have to make the l fight of their lives to secure it. Alder man Chesson and his associates have l it on the program to administer SC ! vera defeat to them. The regular re- publican ticket in the third contains the following names for aldermen: I Fred w. Chesson, Hugh A. Pendlebury l and William M. Black. The opposition l ticket was to have been made ont at | a meeting in Judge Peasley's office this l afternoon when a committee of fifteen would submit a list of names from which the candidates for aldermen and for city and town delegates would l be selected. The names of B. F. Kef- 1 sey and Miller C. Haynor have been I metioned as probable candidates for
 aldermanic honors. Mfr Kelsey said this morning: ''My name will not ap- pear on any ticket. neither will that of
 MT Haynor. I am not seeking office. I am interested in clean politics and
 will work night and day to secure them. Yes. we can do little cleaning
 in the third"
