Manchester Bureau. Times Dispatch
No. 1102 Hull Street,
The political fight on Councilman Griz-
card, Of the Third Ward, and Council
man Petit, Of the Second Is waxing
hot. There seems to be no special argu-
n1ent against Mr.. Petit. except that he
was not endorsed by the Opposition"
In the case 81 Mr. Grizzard, his oppo-
nents assert that he was looking out for
No. ] when he voted on the insurance
license.
In reply to this, Mr.. Grzzard simply
points to the fact that the new license
ordinance turns into the treasury about
5000. while heretofore It was about $50.
THAT should satisfy my critics." said
Mr.. Gr!zzard last night.
Opposition to Mr.. Wakefield In the
First Ward Is not strong. He was one
OF the prime movers in the question OF
tho erection of the proposed new bridge
across the river at Mayo's Island, and
has devoted much time TO the matter.
His friends think he should remain
In Council at least until the bridge gues-
tion had been settled, and the bridge
erected.
One OF the critics remarked that IL
that were the case. Mr.. Wakefield would
remain In Council the remainder Of his
life. as ne did not think the bridge
would be erected in fifty years.
This opinion about the bridge Is net
held by MANI. 1t Is generally felt that
the bridge viii be a reality in the next
two or three years.
. From prospects 1T looks like sure
thing, for Mr.. John Moore, for the Board
from the Fourth Ward, and bets are that
he will lead the ticket.

Councllmen. the Indications point to the
re election OF allD the incumbents, with
possibly one exception, that OF the First
Ward.
In that ward five men are UP for three
places. One OF the outsiders, Mr.. C.. c..
Jones. is strong, and he is putting up a
fine canvass. He Is not fighting any
success himself.
