A select cllcjuo of democracy mot In n
quiet corner Friduy ovonlng , nnd prepared a
municipal slate to bo offered for the consid
eration of the domocratio city convention ,
It ] was in ado up ns follows :
Mayor P. Lacy or M. Keating
Marshal Thomps Moloney
Solicitor G. A. Holmes
Engineer J , C. Bradbock
Auditor C. A. Hammer
Treasurer Fred Spolman
Sf j Alderman At large , Josiah Dan forth ;
First ] wardVlco Jennings ; Second ward , F.
P. Bollinger
Pollco Judge E. E. Aylesworth
Assessor . G. Tipton
Few of these whoso nntnes appear on the
ticket I wcro urcsont at this informal caucus ,
and i it is understood that some of them ,
notably l Alderman Lacy , are not desirous of
a i nomination For this reason the cholco
lor I mayor was not made
It is stated thut an independent or citl-
7cn's ticket will certainly bo placed In the
Hold ' , and several names have been presented
to ' head itTho name of John Schoontgon
was Bprung yesterday , and several republi
cans are working to secure his nomination
Bis candidacy ii regarded with disfavor by
some ' of the democrats who cxprors the opin
ion that ho would bo opposed to public im
provements , und cite his notion as member of
the school board on the now school houio
question : , in suppot t of tholr position :
Many of the democrats and a number of
republicans nro booming Hon Lucias Wells ,
of j Deere , Wells & Co , for tbo position of
chlof municipal executive , and his name is
received , witli general satisfaction , although
much ; doubt is oxprcsscd as to whether bo
would accept the nomination , as bo resigned
his ] position in alio council owing to lack of
tlmo , to attend to the duties of tbo ofllco
The republican choice for mayor Is E. L.
Shugart , and ho appears to bo the only can
didate i in the field Tlia goncrally expressed
opinion < is that tbo republicans will endoiso
many i if not all of the nominees of a citizens
ticket I in case such a ticket is placed in tbo
field I , and this is what is worrying the dom
ocratio wheel horses , and causing the mem
bers of the old tlmo ring to shako in their
boots
A. C. Graham Is mentioned as n posslbio
caudldato to head an indopondentticket , and
Captain ' J. T. Anderson nnd J. L. Tompioton
are ' spoken of in connection with the ofllco of
marshal : L. Brcdcnstoin is booming up
very lorgoly as candldato for nlderman-at > -
large in the same connection , and tbo bal
ance ' of the citizens ticket has boon sug
gested ' as follows :

Aidermon First ward , Alex Woods ; Second
end ward , Josiah Danforth ; Fifth ward , W.
A. Hlgbsmith ; Sixth wnrd , A. C. Harding
Superintendent of Markets John Oliver ,

Thcro will bo quite a fight for alderman
from the First ward , and if Alder
man Waterman secures tbo nomination
for ro-electlon bo will get it in tbo face of
strong opposition Jcsso Walters has de
veloped as the latest candidate for the posi
tion and his friends were at work yosterdny
setting fortli his claims for recognition The
election , will bo hold five weeks from tomor
row which will give tbo aspirants ample
time to lay their lines to capture tbo nomi
nations : Much interest is manifested in the
situation and political matters will be very
lively from this time on

No Coiiho For Alarm
The council has decided that the levee
along the river bank is badly in need of
repairs , and the clty nginccr has been Instructed
*
structed to submit a report regarding the
matttcr , stating what work Is necessary und
the probable cost of making tbo repairs
The mayor states that the levee is In good
condition in many places , theliank being
fully as high as when llrst made and per
fectly solid , but that In others It has been
cut by cow paths , aud la some places It has
been cut down two and three feet by wagon
roads It Is tbo intention to put it In first
class repair from the Northwestern railway
embankment to the Union Paclllo bridge ,
thus proventiug any possibility of tbo
river ovorliowlng the low land in
the western part of tbo city
The cnginoer has also been instructed to ex
amine tno Northwestern embankment and
sea that it is in good repair
In pausing the resolution the council ex
pressed tbo opinion that ttrcro was no danger -
gor of a spring overflow , but deemed it best
to take this step as a precautionary measure ,
Alderman Waterman stating tbat the snow
was unusually deep la the mountains ana
tbat the spring rise would therefore be a big
one
Alderman Laoy was not present at the
mcotloir , and yesterday expressed tuc-
opinion that the tnovo was an unnecessary
ono , bald bo : There is no use In creating
alarm , and this action oa the part of tbo
council can scarcely help doing that There
Is no more snow In the vicinity of the head
waters than is usual at this time of year ,
and even If there was there Is no
reason for any such sudden outburst
The snow never goes out until June , giving
us what we call the June rise , and tbero is
time to build half a dozen levees before thai
time This idea of coming out iu midwiutnr
witb the startling aunouncomcut tbat the
I
lerco Is ricfcctlvo Is llttlo less than rldlcu1
] lous 1-urtnor than thu , I know that the
levee Is In good condition Any material
damngo that has been done bns occurred
within the past three months , as I drove
over < the ontlro length of It Into In the fall ,
and at that time there wers no cuts in it ,
such , as the mayor speaks of I don'tbcllovo
ho 1i 1 knows what ho is talking nbout , nnd I
dent i think ho has been over the line slnco
ho J visited the slto * of the govern
ment rlprapplng with mo last fall
The property on what l known as the bet
toras is all right , nnd this hue nnd cry about
the levee will only tend to make residents in
that quarter dlssatlsbod without cause I
dent approve of any such action on the part
of , the council , nnd I wlJh Tub Beb would
Just state In the morning the true condition
of affairs Unless the people fully under
stand tbo situation , the panlckv reports will
ciuso a deal of needless apprehension " I

About the AHsesor
The mention of the name of J. G. Tipton ,
the well known real estate agent , as a candi
date for the office of assessor , meets with
goncrnl approval Said a member of the
council yesterday : The citizens dent '
seem to rcallza that tbo assessors ' ofllco is
an Important ono , and that it makes a great
deal of difference whether the real estate
and personal prouorty of the city is nssossod
or not Do you know that the assessed valu
ation of personal property in this city is
$120,000 less for this year than it was for last
year ! Do you know that 20 per
cent of the real cstato of this
city is not nsscsscd at nil !
Do you know that other property owners nro
exorbitantly assessed to muko up for it ! Do
you suppose that the citizens generally Know
this to bo the ease ? Just drop Into the county ,
treasurers or auditors ofllco and find out
about this I kndw what I am talking about
and I know that this is the case I want to
see a chnngo , but wo cant have it uuless the
voters will say so at the polls I am glad to
see J. G. Tioton's name mentioned , and I
hope ho will bo nominated and elected As
a real cstato man ho has a correct idea of
real cstato values In nil parts of the city ,
and ho is a man of undoubted honesty nnd
Integrity I would support bun for the ofllco
on any ticket , nnd there arc hundreds of

AN HEIRESS IN DISGUISE
. Now York Morning Journal : A city
thtU ' is eot upon a hill c.tnnot bo hid
Neither wns the form of tt tall , fall
young mnn standing on the olovntoil
railway platform at Thirty-fourth strcot
station ' , hulilon from my view ns I
roauiiod i the slilowalk bonontli It , hav
ing | wnlkod ever from Fifth nvonuo , in
tent , ' on going down as far as Fourteenth
street ! to do a little shopping previous to
the ( Chrlstmn.9 holidays in 1833. It wns
ono ' of tnv many oddities to travel In
this 1 way Instead of taking my carrlago
Something about the licruro instinct
ively nttrnctod mo , and anxious ( or a
nearer i tnspoetlon I hurried up the steps
nt twice my U9tml pneo , fearing lost n
train should roll along and carry him
olt < before I arrived Hurriedly buying
my ticket I passed out on the ulattorm ,
Ho whoso mngnotlsm bnd drawn mo
there was standing , tall , fair and list
loss A tool bag ot coarse tioklug
was slung across ono shoulder Ho
were n rough , hull-worn suit of
working clothes and heavy
bIioos which , however , could not
dotrnctfrom his goncrnl noble nppenr-
anco I gazed for n moment at the fair
classic profile , the dreamy blue eyes ,
then down at tbo hard , work-worn
hands only a workman , a mcchaulc ,
and yet In that moment I roall/.oct that
at last the grand passion love rthat
which I bud io long boarchod , which
had always evaded mo so that nt times
I almost doubted its e.xlstonco , had como
at lost
Laugh if you will Sentimentalist ,
do you say ? Ay , and proud of it What
is life worth living without love love
such us Paul felt for Virginia , love that
made the onrth a wilderness , drear and
void at her death , and caused him to
pine away and soon follow her to the
shadow littuiy 1 fool that love like that ,
so pure , so true , so utterly free from all
worldliness , would bo worth a thousand
deaths
Am I but a foolish dreamer of idle
fancies , but a romancer who constantly
longs for lho ideal and unreal , instead
of'Contcntedly jogging along with the
real ?
livery one has a ruling passion Ono
may choose money , drink , gambling ,
study , ambition , politics mine.is love ;
and have I not a right to it ? Yes indeed -
deed , for I nin rich , and in this Now
York of ours I find that money covers a
multitude of sins
I am short and swarthy , with * dark
eyes and black hair , somowhiit stout ; "a
nice plump little figure , " my dress
maker says : money again Were I poor
and had to make my own garments I
would bo simply stumpy Yes , lam decidedly -
cidodly plain looking Bolng a millionaires
lionaire's daughter is not synonymous
with being a beauty My nose has al
ways boon a cause of mortification , for
it is flat , almost without bridge and
broad at the nostrils , and I could not
help observing tbat every Chinaman I
mot as I traveled about the city had
just such a citndol mounting gmard ever
his face If it bo a national feature , I
am unable to judge , my knowledge of
Chinese being strictly limited to the
knights of the laundry in our own city
To proceed still further in describing
my most lnsignilicant-looking self , lot
mo say that while my hero , my demi
god , as I already doomed him , stood
with the cold December winds swoop
ing past him , none too well protected
from the blast by his old working jaeKot
I was mullled to the chinin , a rich seal
skin coat My head , which did not nn-
volop brains clever enough to devise
for mo tbo happiness that ordinary mor
tals enjoy , wnscovorod witb a sealskin
cap , and my white bands , which had
never done a , stroke of work , wore
hidden in a muff of the same
Furs on a tall person give a certain
stateliness , but Buroly with my llttlo
dark face peering out of these I might
easily pass for an Esquimaux In a few *
minutes the train glided along I
watched to see which car my Adonis
made for , then moved toward the same
Wo neared the gate toirotbor , nnd he
stopped baclc to allow mo to pass in
Had ho pushed rudely in first i fancy
my airy dremns would have boon
crushed perhaps my newborn love for
him would have received a death blow
Surely I , a millionaires daughter ,
should bo allowed a little license with
out being called rude , oleo my money is
of little use Allowable or not , I took
a seat opposite and gazed attentively at
his face IIo seemed to bo thinking
deeply , and never so much as glanced
across at the romantic llttlo bundle of
sealskin
I have ono fnoulty painfully acute , and
that is the ability to road people by
their faces ; and as plainly as I could
road honesty and goodness stamped on
thnt countenance , so had I often de
ciphered falsity on the smiling faces of
my adralrors Although pluin , . I wus
not without suitors , but nccordtng to
my reading there was not ono true love
among thorn Tholr eyes all
shone greedy for • gain ; I wns
but the means to attain it ,
and would afterward bo counted
an incumbrance Wo had now reached
Fourteenth street ; but as ho did not
stir , neither did I , firm in the deter
mination to discover , if it lay in my
power , where ho was goiner Further
than that , I was unable to nlan at pres
ont Ninth Houston Grand ; Here
ho rose , and with graceful , swinging
stop loft the car ,
I , with my nono-too-graceful walk ,
followed him , and dogged closely behind -
hind until ho entered ono of the largo
dry goods.stores with which that street
abounds , The hoiso of hammers and
buxz of saws soon Informed mo that
part of the place was undergoing alter
ations , and I saw him my unknown
ndorod ono throw off his coat and Hat ,
and aftop a few moments conversation
with a man who Boomed to be overlook
ing the work , sot to with hammer and
nulls ,
I turned to the nearest counter ,
bought a few trifling urtlcles and wont
homo Most surely it was little less
than idiocy for a woman In my position
ono who with but a yes could have a
flno , gentleman for a husband , a splendid -
did establishment end everything sooin-
ingly that the heart could desire to go
raoing around after a enrpontor nn
utior stranger
In my own room I argued , reasoned
and wrestled with myself for a time
With what rosultr
Thatoyoninp my father was seated
alone in his library , half-dozing in nn
easy chair , when I walked softly in ,
clad in a dark red plush gown that
really suited mo better than anything
else I stood before him nnd would
have knelt , but had never yet brought
myself to knaol to God or man With
downcast eyes and low vobo I recited
the llttlo speech I had learned by rote
before entering , fearing lost nervous :
ness should rob mo of the power of ex
pressing myself oloarly ,
• Father , in store on Grand street
there are some carpenters at work ,
Among them is ono , tall , fair , with a
blonde mustaoho , regular tooth , blue
eyes and a small scar on the third linger
of his right hand I want you to send
there , find out nil you can about him ,
and also employ him to como here to do
some work for you "
The look of amazement molted into
ono of resignation , as it had bo often
done at ono of my straugo requests
How well I remember the llrst tlmo I ,
astonished my father and gained for
myself the name ot bolng an ooontrlo
bolng I was but a child and had ro-
colvod a tiny gold watch and small
diamond ring as birthday gifts The
ring chafed iny flfigoi' and the watch ,
according to my childish reasoning ,
was usolcss in a house where there were
so many clocks So 1 walked one attor-
noon until I ramo to a secondhand
store , whore 1 sold thorn both for a
small sum of money , which I distributed
among the poor children I uhanccil to
meet , und wont homo , elated at having
gladdened their hearts and rollovcd
myself of a burden
My father drew mo down on a chair
nenr him , smoothed my hair reflec
tively a few moments , then said , grave
ly ! " 'My duar Lntirn , must this bo
done ? Dent you think the fancy will
wear olT In a few days ? " "It must bo
done , " 1 replied , with all the deter
mination I could muster ; "my happi
ness depends upon it "
That settles the question , " nn-
sworod ho , ' out what work is ho to do ?
Wo need nothing "
Have some now cupboards built in
the kitchen " was my ready response
"Ah yes , " with a smile ot rollof ,
down in the kitchen ; very good "
The dear old man thought that this
would preclude the chatico ot lutor-
course between us 1 know that his re
lief was fated to bo short-llvod , but said
nothing
A faithful messenger performed his
task , and the young enrpontor , whoso
name proved to bo Mr John Britten ,
was engaged to como the following
week During the interval I did not
even mention the matter , but wont my
usual round and surprised my friends
with an amount ot gaiety they thought
mo Incapable ot I foil lively , for a
hope of something better , at any rate
of somothlng now , dawned upon my
horizon I hud still ono disagreeable
task which loft until the evening before
fore Mr Hritton unB to begin wont
My parents were about to start for the
theater , when I bogged them to wait a
minute , us 1 had something Important
to say
I then informed thorn , ns brlofly
us possible , that , beginning to
morrow , for some short time I meant to
dlsguiso myself and act us tholr
waitress ; that after 5 o'clock ench even
ing I would resume my own clothing
and take my accustomed place In so
ciety They appeared olectriflod at
this latest and wildest project ot tholr
ugly duckling My mother gave way
to hysterics , but soon calniod horsoli ,
as she did not wish to ruin her appear
ance for the evening Father uttered
some few romonstrancos in a faint
henrted , hopeless tone , ns though pre
viously certain of their iruitlcssncss
Well , I enjoyed the novelty of wearing
a plain dress and dabbling in the
kitchen , helping cook to the host of my
ability , but often , I fear , more hin
drance than help The young man
looked upon mo us an equal aud chatted
pleasantly as ho worked Often , when
I had linishod my work , I would sit
quietly playing with some piece of
fancy won ; , listening to the cheery
music of his tools ; at least their sound
was music to mo Ho told mo how
his boyhood had been full of
hardship Ho had bold newspapers -
pors , morning and evening , for a low
yours , at the same time attending
school ; had then entered n carpenters
shop to learn the trade , and that now
ho could earn a very fair living ; also
that ho had a little saved enough to
buy furniture , should ho marry This
was said rather pointedly , and I 6miled
inwardly but happily , as I thought of
his savings , probably altogether not as
much as my pin money for a week Op-
posttos attract , it is said , and surely no
two beings could bo moro dilforont than
wo ; yet , unless nppoaranccs were deceitful -
ceitful , ho wns growing fond of mo
whereas my state of affections Is already
known
In return for his confldonco I. told him
that my name was Mary Evart , at least
that was the name given mo at the
orphan asylum from which our em
ployer , Mr Sutley , had taken me I
gave him to understand that I had no
relations and no friends , oxcent my em
ployer , determining that if ho ever
cared for mo.it should bo for myself
alone , without a thought of money or
inmily
So the days sped by nil too quickly for
mo For tbo first time in my llfo the
discontented cbuflng against fate gave
way to a peaceful happiness , and while
ho was in the room the atmospheric ,
without personal , contact wiib enough
to throw mo into a blissful calm Ono
evening ho left a llttlo later than usual
And when ho was gene I sped upstairs
happy at last Ho had asked mo the
ono important question uud I had said
yes " Singing blithely I cangod my
C iiidorolla costume for my princosa's
robes , ran down to the parlor and seated
myself at my piano well pleased to
touch its ivory keys , after the short
exile at washing dishes
I rattled oft a few lively pieces , then
took up ray favorite , Wobor's Storm "
I loved that ploco and throw nil my
heart into it as I played , Sweet and
clear the Shepherd Song rang above
the llrst muttorlngs of the thunder ,
then as the storm raged florcor my
lingers fairly flow und thoplauo seemed
bewitched , for never hud I boon able to
draw from it such wonderful vol
umes of sound , The Uro bolls rang
out sharp nnd clear , nnd Anally , as
lho storm subsides , the rumbling
thunder grows fainter nnd the song
gradually dies away With the last
low notes I was startled by hearing a
long-drawn sigh . Hastily swinging
nround I saw him standing , hat in hand ,
lips parted , and a.loolc of intor.so emo
tion on his face Pardon my intru
sion , madam , " ho said "I met Mr
Sutloy outside and ho uskod mo to como
baclc to the library Wo had a little
business to settle , but ho was called
away and uskod mo to wait till ho re
turned Then I hoard the storm brewing
ing and could not understand , as the
sky is eloar I was drawn toward It ,
nnd Oh , madam , I had no idea there
was such music "
"It is , indeed , a grand piece , " I re
plied At the sound of my volco ho
started forward , The lights were
turned low , so I bad not much fonr but
what I could balllo him , for I would not
have hlra know yet No ono should bo
able to suy my husband wed me for
gold "Mury , " ho said In a hesitating ,
questioning way
For whom do you take mo , my good
man ? " I asked with all the coldness I
could assume , although my heart
throbbed ,
Are you not Mary , Mary Evart ? " ho
said , advancing another step
Happily at this moment my father ap
peared in the doorway With a forced
laugh I oxclalmod : Father , tils gentleman
tloman has mistaken mo for our llttlo
waitress 1 declare , it is too bad
that the rcsomblanco is so great as to
make these errors of such frequent oc
currence " With this I turned and
pussod out at another door ,
Next morning John told mo of his
adventure , nnd wo Jaughod heartily
ever if , but Mary , dour , " ho Bald ,
when wo are married wo muBt have u
piano Well bo able to got ono on the
installment plan , and you shall learn to
piny like Mies Sutley , upstairs "
I ussontod ohoorfully , well pleased
that my John showed a taste for music
Nor had ho the small vices and rough
ness so many attribute to workmen I
boiran to think thut perhaps there were
as muny true gontloincn in poor garb as
' broadcloth , It must not bo suppoo& I
that it wns all smooth sailing Whou I 'I
announced that 1 was to bo married very 1
quietly to Mr John Hritton , naturally _ _ _ _ ' 1
enough my parents objected strcnu * I
otisly ; but when I asked in a vnlm voice ) A " 1
if they preferred a suicldo to mccullt- vikl
_ _ _ _
mice , their opposition molted uwa\f dHl
" " - -
like thin clouds before a Biscay gale , _ . "
and they gave no curses , but blessings / •
Wo were married , und are htippy My /
