nulto a lively fight heforo it ticket is named.
Democratic city officials, who up to n few

ceiving n rcnomlnntlon, have discovered that
there Is plenty of opposition developing
right In their own party and that nono of
them will havo n walkaway.
Mayor Jonnlngs is meeting with consider
able opposition from a certain faction and
his rcnomluatlon Is not a suro thing by any
means. Ex-Chief of Polleo F. A. Dlxby has
a considerable following among n certain
class In his party and It Is said that since
Dlxby was compelled to resign as chief of
police hy Mnyor Jennings his following has
Increased. Although Dlxby has nt times
said he was not looking for any ofHce, It Is
known that he Is In tho fight to stay to tho
finish, and If ho cannot secure the nomina
tion for mayor himself, will do all he can to
wrest It from Jennings.
Alderman Casper, It Is said, is favored by
somo of tho democrats as n compromise
candidate for mayor In caso tho fight be
tween Dlxby and Jennings assumes such
proportions as to Imperil tho chances of the
pnrty at tho polls. It Is nsserted hy Ulxby'u
friends that ho has tho support of tho ma
jority of tho members of tho city central
commltteo nnd they will lino up for him.
Dr. T. II. Lncey has also been mentioned as
a posstblo democratic candidate for tho head
of tho ticket and his friends aro quietly
working to this end.
Alderman Casper has addressed an open
letter to tho citizens of Council Bluffs, In
which he makes the nwiertlon that the mass
meeting of republicans held In tie city hall
Tuesday night was In the interests of tho
corporations. He says that no candidates
should bo nominated who will not pledge
themselves to uso their best efforts to re
duce tho water rates paid by the city and
tho gas nnd electric light rates paid by the
city and private consumers. Ho says tho
gross revenue of tho local gas company Is
$200,000 per aununi. Tho question of the
Union Pacific railway's rights to Union
avenue Is also referred to In tho lotter. Cas
per, falling .lo receivo tho nomination for
mayor, wanti to" be alderman-at-Iarge. as
considerable opposition to his rcnomlnatlon
as alderman from tho First ward has re
cently arisen among tho faithful and there
nro several democrats In that ward who are
willing to enter tho contest against him.
Dr. M. C. Chrlstcnsen Is looking for a re
nomlnatlon as aldcrman-at-largo, but there
are somo democrats who say ho cannot havo
It and L. A. Devlne Is being prominently
mentioned for tho place. Pat Ounnoude,
Fred Evers nnd Martin Jensen aro also men
tioned as candidates In opposition to Dr.
Chrlstcnsen.

retary of tho treasury, arrived hero today
nnd Is stopping nt tho Planters hotel. Ho
camo to St. Louis to speak before the Com
mercial club nt Its bnuquot tonight.
In an Interview which nppeored In tho
Post-Dispatch today Sccrctnry Gago paid of
the case of ex-Consul Macrum and his
charges agnlnst tho English government:
"The administration thinks of Macrum ex
actly what every reasonable man must think
thnt ho Is nn nss. I am convinced that his
charges aro absolutely without foundation
nnd havo been made In splto to embarrass
the administration.
"So fnr ns I have been nblo to nscertnln,
there Is not a scintilla of cvldcnco to sup
port his charges. I do not believe that tho
officials of the English government violated
tho secrecy of our communications to our
credited representative and I think the In
vestigation to be mado will show as much.
"Of course, If Macrum can substantiate his
charges; If ho can show documents which
will proo that his mail wns tampered with,
thnt will put the enso in another light. It
tho Investigation should reveal that stato of
affairs, then the administration would de
mand an apology for the Indignity. Rut I
do not bellevo there Is the slightest possi
bility of such a crisis arising. As the caso
now stands, Macrum Is not troubling tho ad
ministration. It will not glvo him the
slightest notice until ho proves his charges."
