Third Ward Republican Club is the
Only Thorn That Pricks.

| About twenty-five or thirty q. o. D.
| followers have gotten together and
| formed ward club. They claim to
be armed to the teeth and expect to
infiict telling injury on the enemy on
election day.

The list Of voters to be made this

they should report promptly to the
registrars and IL it can be shown that
the applications were filed on time the

OF which will be posted in the several
wards.
Yes" said Chairman Kilduff of the
democratic city committee this morn
ing. 1.-THE difference between Mr. Phelan
and Mr. Mcdonald has been settled.
Both are candidates for the department
OF education and they will run on the
same ticket Notwithstanding all that
has been said to the contrary" 1t APP
pears this stroke of diplomacy was eff
fected by Mr. Kilduff, who got the war;
ring elements together and after
heart to heart talk the two commits
sioners admitted that they had no bust
hess being opposed to each other and
decided to bury the Ratchet and go In
with the rest of the boys for a long
pull and pull altogether with view
to capturing the citadel Of the enemy
ON election day.
This morning Martin Scully, whose
name was to head the Hurley ticket
for alderman In the fifth ward, notified
Mr. Hurley that the other ticket had
placed him at its head, too, and that
as he could not remain on both he felt
In duty bound to stand with the one he
had first agreed to go on. After all it
developed that Mr. Scully had enough
friends associated with Mr. Hurley to
give him place on the ticket. To be
candid about it, John himself wanted
him, but the boys dallied too long about
1t and In the meantime the other ticket
was prepared and Scully consented to
run on it. Later he was placed on Mr.
Hurley's ticket. This put him In two
different stalls and not being able to
occupy both he had to vacate one. This
is the reason why his name does not
appear on Mr. Hurleys ticket There
Is no bad feeling over it and there is
no reason why there should be. To
be sure Mr. Hurley claims that Mr.
Scully chose the weaker side, although
this is yet matter of doubt, but in
any case there was no other course
open to him and he will cheerfully &C.
cept the result no matter what the de-
cision may be.
The republican machine has scored
another victory and now with one or
TWO trifiing matters there Is not rip
pie ahead of the ship. The last buoy
marked the rock on which
he party had split in the scramble for
Alderman Beach's mantle as leader of
he forces in the aldermanic chamber.
This kink has been pressed out by
bringing Mayor Elton into the next
BOARD and making him custodian of
he garment. The Carter guns spiked,
he row over the leadership settled,
he machine ought to be able to knock
he bottom out of the Third Ward Re-
publican club, the only thorn now re-
In Its side.
