90 receive the Democratic nomination for

In the First ward the Republicans will
have their hands full deciding between
the claimants for positions. Councilman
Clifford s. Tower. as stated nearly
month ago In The News-Democrat, has
been eliminated from the situation, as
the ward committee has decided 10 retire
him; and. rather than make a fight with
tho certainty OF being turned down, he
has declined" 10 permit the use of his
name, in order 10 give some other young
man a chance. as he puts II. Council
man Parks is likely 10 be the nominee for
alderman; and there Is talk OF naming
Harry Parsons Cross for the common
council. The Democrats will also name
a strong ticket, which is expected to win.
In the Sixth ward the following ticket
has been agreed upon by the Republican
citJ machine: For alderman, John III.
Higgins; councilmen, Jeremiah w. Miller,
William f. Sears. Fred w. Morse, Joseph
Baker. Jr. The name or Councilman
Frank b. Reynolds is eliminated. or
course because he is a member OF the
Goddard campaign committee; but Demo
Gratis are talking OF making him their can
didate for alderman.
In the Seventh ward there is some talk
Of the Republicans naming Councilman
Henry Fletcher for alderman. and Ed
ward l. Mulcahey for the council.
In the Ninth ward the Democratic city
council ticket has been made up as fol-
lows: Alderman. George c. Phillips;
rouncllmen. William Harris, Emile Bat
Astini, William Mulvey, John p. Farms
worth. Against this ticket the Republi-
can may name. William A. Spicer for
alderman and Councllmen Henry A. Grim
