LIGHT VOTE IN EIGHT WARDS

The nominations for aldermen and coun-
cilmen which were made at the Republi-
can caucuses held last evening I'm the va
rious wards were accomplished without
any contests and though there were
number OF changes from existing condi-
tons, no lights for the nominations re-
suited.
In two wards there were councilmen
who were given tho sldermsnic nomina-
tons. the men being Edwin s. Darling
and George II. Grant OF the Second and
Sixth wards, respectively
Outside the Third ward. which II prob
ably solid Democratic, there are IL new
names on the common council slate. the
only wards I'm which the present delega-
tions remain intact are the First and
Nhth.
Among those slated for removal. or
rather who did not get a Republican
nomination for various reasons. are
Councilmen Sisson and Peterson OF the
Second. Lake and Leonard OF the Fifth
Robert c. Root of the Sixth, Benjamin w.
Sphinx OF the Ninth and Lawrence j.
Coffee and Henry NJ winn in the Tenth
or course a few OF the men mentioned
are Democratic IN their symps thies. the
last two named being cases in point. but
as the Republicans claim that the nomi-
nations in all the wards except the Third
IS equivalent 10 an election IL is inter-
esting TO see who are slated for retire
ment even IL the aforesaid retirement
does not take place
In connection with the Third ward
caucus a ripple OF amusement was caused
when II WAS found that some one had
deposited one OF the Dunn Flynn ballots
in the box. Whether the man gave UP
his chance TO cast his vote Tor the ticket
nominated, or whether he slipped the
Democratic ballot In along with another
for the Republican ballot does not appear
and he will never tell.
