 The committee appointed some time 1 ago to revise the republican local pri { mary rues tried to get together last i night but the representatives of the | first, third and second wards bolted
 and the fourth and fifth men were
 loath to make move alone. John r
 Kellogg, who sent out the notices for
 the conclave. was somewhat indignant
 at the indifference shown by the com
 mittee and made 1t plain to the good
 men and true from the fourth and fifth who gathered about their chief
 that he would work the second notice
 differently. In other words, he in-
 tends to command them. so that it is
 likely there will not be one of them
 absent when heads are counted at the
 next session. While Mir Kellogg and
 his handful of delegates were fuming
 over the conduct of the other wards,
 the nabobs of the first district were
 huddled together all by their lonesome,
 matching up schemes for the fall cam
 paign. in so far at least as it pertains
 10 that district. In case John P. Elton
 refuses to stand up and be knocked
 down in an effort to hold the reins of
 government for two years more, Mir
 Blakeslee. alderman from the first
 ward. is slated to lead the forlorn
 hope. Alderman Stanley of the same
 district is booked to move to the sec
 0nd ward and it is hinted that Mir
 Filling thinks the time has come when
 he should have something better than an aldermanship and place on the
 bureau of assessment. This leaves room for three new aldermen in that ward and the question now being dis cussed is how to select the best ma terial. The employees of the Scovill Manufacturing Co cut quite a swath in that district and in case the changes talked of take place they will be in the field with men to replace those who will retire this year. The name of l.. l.. Williams of Maple street will be one of the new men. This was agreed to last night. The eastern sec ton of the district is not fully satis- fled with how things are going under the present administration and threat en to form an alliance with the demo- crats to carry the ward. If the demo- crats give them two men they will give the democrats one and see that the three are elected. If something like this should happen it would make quite an interesting fight in the first ward. and it would be hard to get bets on the result. But it is thought that they will be whipped into line before the time for action arrives and that assertions from the party will be few and far between. The present repre- from the ward are good men. but they are placed in bad light now and then on account of being obliged to follow the counsel of the man who wields the whip rather than be governed by their own sense of what is right and as a consequence they have to bear lots of kicks for things which they cannot help. If the democrats play their cards for all they are worth John Kellogg may find it hard to explain why there are not three republicans from the first ward in the aldermanic chamber next year.
 There is trouble in the third ward, too, and if it isn't smoothed over soon fur will fly at the primary. certain element wants John Macauley and T. H. Hewitt retired. while others claim that they are just right and that they and their colleague. Mir Callan, are the best selections that can be made for mother term. To be candid about the matter, MT Hewitt is very progress 'ive man. active and eminently fair n all his public acts. so far as one can notice from the outside. Mir Macauley ioesn't say much. but the way his vote ,oes would suggest that his judgment s not bad. Mfr Callan is up to the ines. too much so to suit the powe0; hat be. and as result he may find { hard sledding to get the indorsement If the ward workers. all of whom laim that he had no business 10 fall nto the mistake made by Mir Stanley md parade the short comings of the 
 Most of the political work now going i n is conducted in the factories, but it i s hinted that the liberties of the i 'olitical boss is being curtailed in some l f the plants and that at the present | ime the ward workers can operate with safety only in three of the big . lants, while as late as two years ago e was right to home in the whole of . hem. large and small. Not long since :
 man who does some running for a fig political party was brought up Tith short turn when the superinten- l ent of the department where he is mployed informed him that he owed Il his time to the company and that enceforth he would be obliged to re- lain at his bench. A few shots like his would give the shop committees lack eyes. but the politicians hope 10 Q able to have the good work go on pr al least one year more. and with his argument as the principal they re telling John P. Elton that with very factory in town at his back he annot be beaten.
 F. R. White and F. E. Stanley are ,lked of as candidates for aldermen l the second ward. No changes are 'oked for in the other offices. except nat of city treasurer. which some say lay 20 to Mr Filling.
