SOME HAVE BEEN BLUFFlNG

Tomorrow at noon the lists viii
close in the councilmanic race as fal
as the Democratic primary OF April
pay to Treasurer Goodc the assess
ment levied by the City Democratic
Committee by that time in order tc
have their names appear on the official
ballots. and to be recognized as in
any sense party candidates. And none
but Democrats Will be welcomed in
this primary. Independents and Re-
publcans, should any think it worth
while to make the effort, may offer
for the Council in the regular election
on the second Tuesday in June.
But so far as the Democratic party
is concerned, and the Democratic
party has for many years named every
Councilman In Richmond, all the talk
of bringing out good men" must be
at an end tomorrow at noon. After
that it will be for the voters In each
ward to select from the ticket pre-
sented the names of those for whom
they prefer to vote. and to whom they
prefer to entrust the management of
the city's affairs for the next two
years. &
Some Have been BluffinE.
Five Councilmen arc to be elected in
each Of the seven wards of the city,
and about onc-half OF tho Board of
Aldermen comes up for reelection at
this time. members of the upper
branch of the Council being selected
for period of four years instead of
two.
There have been large number of
names mentioned from time to time.
and the current belief has been that
there has been some bluffing--that
some have been merely mentioned, and
that when the time came for putting
up the assessments many would drop
out of the race.
Some of the leaders of the present
Council who are known to be busily
canvassing for reelection have not
yet paid their assessment, but will no
dout do so to-day, and not run the
risk of something happening to pre-
vent their seeing Treasurer Goode to-
morrow before noon.
