RESULT OF
CAUCUSES.

The Republican cancuses on Monday
attendance as well as their results.
Ihe contest was extremely warm in
some of the wards; particularly the
First and Sixth, but the Sstal warts won
an easy victory in both. carrying the
First by over 2 to l and the Sixth by
to 1. In the Third ward the vote
was 40 to 2 in favor of the Stalwarts,
but the Fourth and Fifth wards did
even better than this and did not give
the half breeds single vote, In the
Seventh ward the Stalwart majority
was %. But for the agreement made
in the Second ward at the time of the
city election between the leaders of
these two factions, to heal differences
arising at that time, it is probable
that the city would have gone solidly
stalwart. AS it is the delegation

was as follows:
Gentlemen Of the common council:
ID entering upon the discharge of the
duties of the mayor Of the city of Va
tertown, it is not my purpose nor DO l
deem it advisable at this time 10 enter
into lenghthy discussion of the work
which we will be called upon to do,
but to give very brief outline of the
conditions as we find them and be in a
position to meet the different questions
which confront us during our admins
tration as they come before US, and
decide them for the best interests OF
the city without fear or favor and
would therefore only call your atten-
tion to the following subjects of public
interest:
FINANCE.
Our fnancisl condition is fully set
forth in the report of the finance COM
mittee published in the proceedings
of the last meeting of our predecessors
which shows balance in all funds on
March 81, 1904 of $47, 560.46. There
is still due on the first series Of sewer
bonds, $15, 900, and on the Metcalf
judgement $500, Of which amount
there is now in the judgment fund
sufficient to pay one half of the said
amount and accrued interest, leaving
the debt from that source but $3.50,
which will be liquidated next January
leaving us entirely free from his bug
bear which has troubled for many
years, and leaving our present bonded
indebtedness but $16, 800, showing of
which | think we may well be proud.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Pursuant to proceedings of the last
council and in accordance with the
provisions Of the charter, the board Of
public works is now advertising for
proposals for improving parts of Madi-
son. Market, Second and North Second
streets; | most heartily approve of this
work and am in favor of continuing
the work Of permanent street improve
ment as rapidly as we can without un-
duly unburdeniug the city with obliga-
tions which must be met in the future.
to the end that all our principal streets
shall be improved as soon as possible.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Our fire department., | feel warrant
ed in saying. has been as good as any
volunteer department in the state and
| am sure that under the able manage
ment Of our present efficient chief
it will continue to be equal to the best,
and in recognition of the services
which the gentlemen are rendering, !
believe that we should endeavor to en-
courage them and in order to make
their efforts still more beneficial to the
public, would recommend that the
council take some action toward the

and Montgomery division in the last few weeks, took the big train to Mobile. This engine has capacity of handling fifteen cars with the greatest ease, so last nights train did not bother the great engine and its crew did not seem to be super stitious.
 A heavy travel is expected every day and night from now until Sunday with 8 big rush of private cars and specials. though the heaviest of the local rush win be Friday night and Saturday morn- ing.
 The Golden Gate Special from New York to Mexico will pass through Mont gomery Saturday morning.
 Another coincidence with the inaugura- ton of the extra trains between here and Birmingham yesterday was the fact that the regular, No. 8, was on time for the first time in week or two.
 It looked like the perversity of fate. As long as the first section was not there to accommodate the local travel train No. 3 was invariably from two to three hours late getting into Montgomery. With the extra section ready to pacify all angry passengers last night. No. was on time to the second. the two No. Ss reaching Montgomery in few minutes of each other.

Mrs. Parker has been the guest of Mrs. Sheehan for several days. and yes- terday afternoon Mrs. Sheehan enter taine1 small company at luncheon in the city before this function took place in order that there could be no possible excuse to connect him further with a de- sire to forward his boom at this time. Meantime many of the members of the Manhattan Club who attended the dinner given by the club at which MT. Carlisle put forward Judge Parker's name and Senator McCarren seconded the sugges- tion were at the club discussing the next step to be taken to launch a formal move ment in Judge Parkers behalf. They de- cidcd not to trouble their friend on Sun day, but to see him on Monday forenoon.

 One of the closest friends of Judge Parker said last night: "I know that Judge Parker has authorized no person to speak for him. I don't think even his closest friends know how he feels on this question, and from what observed after long talk with him I should say that when the Judge feels that the time has come for statement he will make 1t hinlselt''
 For the present the situation will he allowed to drift whither it will.
