CHAIRMEN OF COUNCILS.
Men Who Are Being' Nninetl for
the Positions in the Two
Branches.
Tlic UenioiM'tttH tiinl ttopubllciins of
lrtth brniK'ltos of councils will I'ltttctis
within the nest week or two to deter
mine upon tin ot'Kiuilziitlott policy and
to select caiulldatcH for chairmen.
Kvery wltttl lliat hlows ticcordlngly
bears so'ine new rumor sih to who thexe
citiiilliltUi'.s will be.
The political complexion of each
council will bo materially changed af
ter April t. The ItcpubllcatiM now have
ti majority of one In select. After April
1 the Oemnerats will have it majority
of one. The common brunch Is tit pres
ent divided evenly politically, there be
ing nineteen Doninemts and nineteen
Itcpubllcans. A Democratic chairman
presides beeauee at the first of the year
the Democrats were In lite majority,
the additional membeis not having se
cured their seats. After April 1 there
will be twenty-one Republicans and
seventeen Democrats ih common coun
cil, giving the foi mer n majority of
four.
Tho Democrats In select council are
In the majority for the llrst time in
many years mid are in high glee but
there Is a very sttong possibility that
they will fall to agree upon a candidate
for the chairmanship. Pi of. J. J. t'os
tello. of the Third ward, is an avowed
candidate, but there Is every reason
to believe that he will not have the uni
ted strength of tlio Democrats. D. W.
Vaughan Is also mentioned but it Is
(luestlouable if he could secure it united
suppot t.
A councilman stated to a Tribune
man Saturday that he looked forward
to a lepetitlon of the memorable or
ganization some years ago when the
Democrats had a majority but when
Colonel George Sanderson was elected
chairman over D. W. Vaughan because
of the defection of two Democratic
votes.
The Kepublk'.in members of select
li.ive not discussed the situation tis yet
and have not deejded whether to give
up tlio fight or make a try at wresting
victory from apparent defeat. It Is
piobable that they will light and that
an effort will be made to Induce Chair
man Chittenden to be a candidate for
re-election despite the fact that the lat
ter gentleman would much ptel'er to bo
upon the door.
K. K. r.obuthun, of the Klfth ward,
lias announced himself as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
chairman of common council. Nn op
position to him has manifested itself as
yet though some of the friends of Iaith
er Keller nie pressing him to became
:i candidate. jlr. Keller has not yet
expressed an opinion as In what his
course will be. A prominent Demo
cratic member of common council said
the other day that Micro would be no
Democratic candidate' put up. His
word must be accepted until a caucus Is
held and a decision arrived at by the
members of the minority party.
The chances favor tho election of As
sistant City Clerk Kvan Mori is as clcik
though Harry H.-itton and Kdward Tt.
Conley, who have announced them
selves as Republican candidates are
milking an energetic canvass. W, A.
Ijyuutt, the present Incumbent Is olso
fighting for re-election and thinks that
tho dolleetlng of three ltopublican
votes to his support is a very small
matter.
A city clerk Is to bo elected this year
by councils In joint session and the
present incumbent, Martin T. Duvelle,
is a candidate for re-election as a mat
ter of course. During the last two
months there have been rumors of an
opposing candidate for the city clerk
ship, but they have died out of late.
There was n story current at one time
that certain parties to whose conduct
of affairs Mr. T.avelle has strenuously
objected, would run a candidate
against him but this has not been
heard during the past two or tlnee
weeks.
