POLITICAL POINTERS.
Republican Row That Has Developed
 into Personal Quarrel.

The third ward republicans are mak-
 ing strenuous efforts to bridge the
 chasm between the club fellows and
 its opponents and the scouts report
 that some headway is being made and
 that there are indications of sort of
 love feast before long, It has been 1 decided to bring the war to a close by.
 putting the name of John P. Elton at
 the head of both tickets as candidate for alderman, and this, 1t is thought,
 will tend to keep the turbulent forces In the background, although many of them claim that it will have no appre-
 ciable effect on the result of the scrap
 except that MT Elton will be sure ot
 a nomination and then 1t will be up to
 the electors of the ward to say wheth. CT they want to see him act in the al.
 dermanic chamber for the coming two years
 Tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock will mark the close of the time for ! filing applications to be made this
 year. Keep this in mind so that in | case you get left you will have nobody but yourself to blame.
 The republicans will have troubles of their own in getting up their con- stables ticket. For the four nomina- tions there appears to be about
 dozen candidates. Domenico Man fredi announced himself this morning
 as candidate for constable, believing
 that he is entitled to something from
 the g. O. p. There is an awful dull fhud in Stora faYs nnr1auian
 It Is now rumored that City Clerk
 Nettleton will be candidate for re- election, notwithstanding His announce
 ment some time ago that he would go
 west and live there. There were some
 who greatly doubted this announce ment would come true, and they are not slow in spreading the new rumor about MT Nettleton's reputed inten- tion to remain in Waterbury and live another term as city clerk if he can. This turn of affairs in the republican camp will not. tend toward peace. In- deed, it may be advisable to call upon the Russian and Japanese envoys to settle this matter before starting for their home in the far east There are a few Bashi Bazooks in the republican party who would scare the wits out Of the entire Japanese army, and they propose to have say in this campaign.
 Very little has been heard about the row in the republican camp in the sec ond ward since the peace meeting, at which the Carter forces made sort of surrender, but it is on just the same and the feeling is so intense that the managers of the party have hard time keeping the rebellious clements in check. Mir Murray's expose in the aldermanic chambers Monday night, which was not denied, that the amend ment to the police ordinance was made to save the new superintendent from the wrath of certain elements that are clamoring for his scalp, shows how things stand. It is not altogether a question of politics. If this was all 1t might be healed up. It has developed into a personal quarrel which will be carried to the polls and kept up after it. It is hardly fair to blame Mir Beach for what has been done. He was simply the instrument of his party and If they decided to make him the beneficiary of all the sharp deals practiced on the public it is doubtful If he was not justified fin taking the coveted prize. Very few find fault with Mir Beach, but some people who have no use for Mir Carter claim that they don't like the methods employed to elevate him to the position. If this be so, why make him the object of at tack? Why not turn your attention from Mir Beach and chastise the ma chinel
 The packers of both fifth ward pri. mary tickets held meetings last night but very little information was avail able today regarding what they did. It is understood that the Hurley tick ct is completed with the exception of the head of the ticket which has not yet been selected. The two aldermen agreed upon are Michael Noonan of Wolcott street and Mir Hurley. 1t was said to-day that a movement is on foot for a conference with the other forces in the ward with a view to having but one ticket but whether this will amount to anything nobody appears to know. The parting of the ways seems to be with reference to school delegates. some claiming all of them for Mir Phelan. others wanting to divide them between Phelan aud Mcdonald. So far as can be learned there is no scramble for places in the aldermanic chamber on either ticket. The name of Contractor Ed ward Bergen has been mentioned as probable candidate on the Hurley ticket. 1t has also been said that Daniel Foley will not be a candidate. Mir Foley was there before and prob ably has had all he wants of office where the labors are arduous and no remuneration. The name of John P. Sheehan is heard as a probable candidate instead of Mir Foley. If would be a nice thing if the leaders of both tickets could get together and decide to have but one ticket. It would help matters in the general conflict on election day. But there is not much time for talking harmony now and if there is going to be fight at the primary let that be the end of 1t. A few months ago demo- crats talked nothing but harmony and plans for concerted action to oust the other fellows. Why not keep that up to the end instead of going to pieces about things that are triaing compared with the general results
