MORE bLECTION BOTHER
Ex-Councilman John E. Regan Says
Two Men Were Wrongfully Re
turned as Democratic Nomi
nees by Mahon and Casey.
Again tho Sixth ward conies to the
fore with election bother that will like
ly require a review In court. Ex-Coun-cilmnn
John 13. Regan, who was in
spector of election at Saturday's Dem
ocratic caucus In the First district of
that ward, avers that James Hewitt,
for judge and Patrick Keegan for In
spector were substituted on the nom
ination certificate for John White and
John Ruan, respectively, and that the
wrongful substitutions were made by
Anthony Mahon and School Controller
John M. Casey, who served as vigilant--.
It appears tho ward and district
nominations were certified on the same
blank. Tho county commissioners re
fused to accept them in this form and
directed that separate blanks be filled
out for ward and district nominations.
Messrs. Mahon and Casey made out
the new blanks nnd In so doing made
Messrs. Hewitt and Keegan tho nom
inees for the district election offices in
the First district.
This act, Mr. Regan says, was im
proper and he threatens to prosecute
Messrs. Mahon and Casey for perjury
in falsely swearing that Hewitt and
Keegan were the nominees of the cau
cus. Messrs. Mahon. and Casey, on the
other hand say they are not only ready
but anxious that the matter should bo
taken Into court. It was JJf. Regan,
they claim, who committed ,the wrong,
by returning White and Ruan ,-i3 the
nominees.
It appears that White and Uuan had
no apparent opposition and that the
ballots were not counted for those of
fices. To Mr. Regan's charge that
Hewitt and Keegan were not even bal
loted for Messrs. Mahon and Casey
answer that they arc ready to swear
that thev themselves voted for Hewitt
nnd Keegan and that Hewitt and Kee
gan were duly elected.

mo to elect tho peerless ticket nominated
at tho primaries Jan. II, 1SW. The time
has come for every Republican to stand
by tho principles of the grand old party.
Laying aside all personal or factlon-il
differences that may have predominated
before, or at tho primaries, and with an
eye single to Republican victory, let us
elect our candidates by an overwhelming
majority and again restore tho city gov
ernment to the honest and intelligent
care and keeping of a true and tried
party.
Our opponents have nominated a strong
ticket, composed of honest nnd courteous
gentlemen; every man of them worthy
of our steel. It will require the united
efforts of 11 united party to defeat them.
It remains with you. fellow Republicans,
to accomplish this. lp and at them.
These hendqenrters will bo always open

I said in my remarks to the commit

sive, and tho necessity for the city's
good, ot securing a change of admin
