Tho ballots have been cast, the smoke liua cleared and candidates for tho ward olllces In the Sixth and Eigh teenth warda on tho Democratic ticket have been nominated. This Is the re huU of yesterday's caucuses In the above wards, but it Is not nil settled yet, at least so far as tho select coun cil nomination In the Sixth Is con cerned. The lines In thut ward were closejy drawn, promises were made and tho contest went merrily on. Now tho period of reckoning Is drawing nigh. Tho 'seeds rif suspicion have been sown in the mlhda of the Clurku supporters, on account of the vote In the First and ' Third districts. Repeating Is hinted at In tho First and tho trouble. In tho Third grows out of the fact that eighty votes were cast for a Demo crat where only twenty-three good, straight votes of that calibre are polled. John K. Regan wins by a majority of g5 votes as nominee for select coun cil.' Patrick Calpln, .having no oppo sition, -Is nominee for common council. The remaining olllcea went by default. Tho llcht was for the select plum and little attention was paid to tho lesser olllces. Tho vote by districts Is as fol lows: First district ..M. K.

Sir: i 1 wish to announce to my friends that owing to a previous agree ment I will run for belect council. I firmly believe that certain circum stances were taken advantage of as for Instance, in tho Third district, where it was supposed that only twenty-three Democratic votes were polled and at the election eighty wero cast, confe quently tho agreement above men tioned leaves it open for me to con scientiously run independently. Other circumstances exist In the oth er two districts which strengthen my intention of running. M. K. Clarke. In tho Eighteenth ward surprises of the most startling kind were in cslr. Friends "met as enemies and only one vote decided and under protest at that. Alderman John J. Kelly was judge of election and It was charged favored Mr. O'lioyle just as much as he dared. Mr. Hoban's friends got angry and a further tale may 'yet be recorded In the annals of the Democracy of this ward. Ifp''ggSJw'ywiiwi ."J obe Warehouse Ui .

The situation Is in such a chaotic state that many Democrats will be conspicuous for their absence.

Ho desires to know whether I, as a resident of this western city, would advise him to movo hero as a business proposition. Tho writer Is a stranger to mc, and 1 judgo from tho tono of his remarks ho must bo a wood worker or planing mill hand, nnd as tho Information ho seeks would, It seems to me, bo of moro gener al Interest I concluded to reply through Tho Tribune, and have so written htm. Tho gentleman must sco this, havo ob served that according to rumor business Is always moro brisk and compensation moro satisfactory In some other locality than his own. Thousands of men havo followed this phantom clear across tho continent, only to learn on tho beach of tho Pnclflo that tho better conditions wero still "a llttlo further west," or "a llttlo later on." There Is no moro con vincing proof that something Is radically wrong In our political system, than tho condition which makes It necessary for this mechanic to seek such Information. However tho spirit of unrest that prevails In Scranton applies with greater forco here. Ours Is largely n floating popu lation. A man Is hero today and on Ida way to Butto or San Francisco tomor row. A glanco at the map will convlnco an observer that a man must bo doubly unfortunato who rinds himself In Salt Lako City and "broke."' Wo are an oasis In Sahara; 23 from Denver and J33.from Montana or tho coast. There la nothing Intermediate; break beams must bo un comfortable and It Is a lonely walk. It Is a decided advantage to reside where business centers aro closo togeth er, therefore easily and cheaply reached, specially so In times of abnormal con ditions. I am certain I would bo Justi fied In saying thero was moro to occupy tho attention of mechanics hero during the past season than In tho four preced ing years combined, yet wages wero but 20 and 25 cents per hour, and nine hours per day, and an abundance of skilled labor unemployed. What tho coming season may produco Is sheer speculation, and I would not be Justllled In writing hopefully as wo shall bo qulto satisfied If wo can caro for our own. I would, in deed, bo pleased to assist my correspond ent, but It would bo criminal for mo to advlso mechanic, clerk or laborer to seek that to improve his financial condition. Ira C. Stockbrldgc.
