POLITICAL POINTERS.
Row Over Bunker Hill School Site
 Brought Into Fray.

ll IS raIner hard on Bunker HiiI.
 after rest of but few weeks since
 the row over the school site. to be
 obliged to don it's war paint again and
 step into the arena to defend the hon-
 or Of one of it's citizens. A week ago
 or more John Macauley, at present m
 aldermen from the Third ward, was
 chosen to succeed himself, his work
 of the past two years being eminent
 ly satisfactory to his constituents. es-
 pecially to his own neighbors in the
 Bunker Hill district Thomas E.
 Walker and Louis Fitzsimmons were
 to be Mir Macauley's running mates.
 This ticket was expected to knock
 out the one prepared by the Third
 Ward Republican club, but to the
 surprise of the Bunker Hill forces the
 name Of Mr Maeauley was taken of
 the ticket as alderman and that of
 John r. Elton substituted instead. It
 was understood that Mir Elton was | to go on both tickets and that one
 name would have to be dropped from
 each, but the Macauley men never dreamed that John would be looked | upon as the weakest candidate of the | three first named. They argue that l he has couple of years experience and that this in itself should have
 been sufficient to show the wisdom of
 keeping his name on the ticket. It is | hfnted that 1t was first proposed to drop Thomas B. Walker, but the
 Walker element got wind of what
 was up and came around in full force and threatened to knife" the whole crowd if Tom" was thrown down. The result of this was that Walker remained on deck and Macauley was thrown overheard, but after the man. agers learned what a rumpus 1t rais- ed they fished John out of the water and gave him a seat in the rear end of the vessel as delegate to one of the conventions. MT Macauley is not making much fuss over it. but his friends are and when lha time cones to be heard on the matter the Bunker Hill boys intend to make themselves heard. All this is a great help to the club ticket and some go so far as to say that it was done with a view to helping out the organization and kill ing the socalled Walker movement.
 The Third Ward Democratic club will meet in the city court room at $ o'clock tonight to ratify a primary ticket.

Fred Stanley for some time past alderman from the first district, but now a req ident Of the second, is said to have lost a renomination for alderman on account of his statement to the effect that the present administration was not keeping the streets in good condi- ton. This Is in line with the strict party discipline of republicans. Party wise fl pays, but in a public way 1t is serious matter.
 Democrats of the fifth ward win meet tonight for the pnrpose of ratf- flying a primary ticket. So many names have been mentioned for alder men that nobody knows the full list of candidates that will finally be de- cided upon. The trouble fn this dIs- trict Is much the same as in the other wards. the leaders not being able to agree on delegates to the conventions. They may get together before Monday and see the wisdom of but one ticket In each district In any case, rhe boys should manage to keep their heads level for no good purpose can hc served by getting mad and falling out with neighbors whom you have fo meet day in and day our after all this fuss is over. A man Is foolish to mag inc that things will 20 to the dogs 1T his side doesn't win. This is the height of nonsense. No matter what the re- suit of the primaries. and the election. too. the. world win jog along about the same and probably no man will lose anything worth mentioning with the possible exception of the hot-headed fellow who forgets himself and talks loo much.
