appears gruesome before Chairman

Thomas Kearns, can weld these fuc-

of the knife which threatens them Is
their chiefest dilemma. This committee
Is feeling about cropping in the dark,
\ but 50 far there has been no light.
NARROWED TO TWO.
The choice OF " smayoralty candidate
mas narrowed itself to two men. Thsy
are Joseph Lippman and Henry 6. Nc
MILAN. Mayor Bransford has given
his final word, 1t is said, that he will
not accept the denomination. 1t Was
offered to him by Frank j. Sefrit. az a
special commissioner from Thomas
Kearns, with tho offer to back him with
the party organ Mayor Bransford.
lwho is nationally a Democrat, Is be-
lieved to be the logical candidate on
account of the situation at the present
time, Bransford, 1t is believed, would
poll the votes OF many Democrats and
independent voters. He has never all
lowed the " 'ad yisory committe TO
dictate to him, whichis one redeeming
feature about his administration.
With Bransford out of the race, Lipp-
man is the next choice and Is now
stronger than anybody. His friends.
who are the rabid barn burners
among tho party. have secretly laid out
their plans. McN1illan's friends say he
is still In the race and he has a num-
Der of stalWarts among his forces.
j.. B. Moreton, city recorder, has In
formed his friends that he will not ac-
cept the denomination this year. Nj ore
ton is a friend of Bransford and when
he found Bransford out Of the race he
made HIS final decision.
RIvEs IN THE FIELD.
Il Ben s. Riyes his chief deputy, Is out
for the nomination and Is considered
rs strong as anybody. Rudolph Aft,
city auditor, will accept the nomination
again and Harper j. Dinniny, city a t.
torney. has delivered himself again
into the hands Of his friends. Gideon
Snyder the city treasurer, is again
after the nomination.. AS usual Oar
mer will run for city Judge and S. p.
Armstrong Is talked of as his running
mate for the other judgeship.
These have declared themselves, but
there are a number of other aspirants
who are not quite ready yet to jump
into the ring. The camp followers are
in numbers about Headquarters and
are looking for what they might get
out OF 1t. IL the party wins.
s The quarters are cornnodious and
the best that the American party
has ever had. The large hall has been
partitioned off making several offices
for the officials and leaving a good
sized hall where meetings can be held.
i Chairman Darmer has an office In the
front of the building. It can be left
by the fire escape In a time of ener-
gency, Then the trea surer who collects
the campaign fund and doles out the ax-
pense money has an Office with a burg
