TWO LIVELY CAUCUSES.
Tlioy Wero Held by tho Democrats of
tin; Sixth anil I'.ltrlitcrittli Wnrdx.
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

WILL RUN INDEPENDENT.
Kdltor of Tho Tribune.
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.

This afternoon the Democrats of the
South and Southwest districts will
hold their primaries. Tho tangible
question of which faction of the con
ferees was right In the allotment of
the different offices and tho present
outlook Is that there will bo two cau
cuses In each district; as both sides
are backing up their action by deter
mined efforts. The situation Is in such
a chaotic state that many Democrats
will be conspicuous for their absence.
The party Is hopelessly shattered and
the chances for a clean sweep for the
Republican township ticket Is very
promising.

deavor to bo satisfied, but dismal as tho
past has been, the futuro offers noth
ing encouraging." 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.
