MILWAUKEH, March 27.—Tho Incongrulties of political i1fo have never beon botter illustrated than at present inthis city. All tho commonty- accepted theories regarding party management and diselpline have beeu scattered to the winds, ‘Tho viowa presonted nro kntefdoscopic tn the ox- treme. Your correspondent will note some of them inn tmpartinimanner, The Republicans, who aro tobe commended for much that they bavo done tn local palitics, hold thot munto!pal Convention on Thursday and nominated for Mayor Thomas H. Brown, President of the Com- mon Counct!, who recently distinguished him- solf by a sensational effort to romovo Chicf-of- Polleco Konnedy during the absence of tho Mayor attho funoral of a brothor-in-law. The party machine, composed of such gentlemen na Edward Sanderson, I. ©, Payne, Georga W. Allen, I BM. Beam, W. A. Novwoll, ©. M. Sanger, and Poter Van Veehton, had boon able to maintain an oxcollent party organiza- tion and almost perfect unanimity for soveral yenra until a fow weeks ago, In fact, so well ore ganized had tho party become that Sangor four yenras ago and Van Vechten two years later were clcoted to tho office of Shoriff of tho coun- ty, which position had up to that timo been con- sidered securo for tho Democracy by a mnjority of from 4,000 to 7,000. Hoth are thoroughgoing, and the alfatra of tholr office could not have been conducted with moro falthfulness and ability than oyinced by them. This, In.connco- tion with tho improvomont in the personnel of the Common Council by tho clection of sovoral Republicans of high stunding in tho community, did a gront deal to STRENGTHEN THB PANTY. It began to be concedad months ngo by Demo- ernts and Independents that tho Republicans stood a good chance of carrying tho municipal election this spring, if not overtaken by ndverso olroumstancos. ' Tho policy in vogue of putting forward representative business men, rathor than politicians, led to the selcotion by tho party managers of W. P. McLaren forthe Mayoralty nomination, Tis nomination would have been conslatent with tho course of tho organization in tho past and with the views of good citizens genorally in tho mntter of quatiNontion for hold- ing oflice. Howover, tho investigation of Kon- nedy had descondod to mere partisan and relig- fous persecution, and when Brown undortook to remove him tho action caught the aontimont of the Soclalistiaand anti-Catholle Germans, It was in response to tholr clamor thit ho was nominated on ‘Thursday, instend of Mr. Bte- Luren, ‘Tho most positive criticlam and denunciation of Brown's discourtcous action are by those Ite- publicaus who have shown in the past that suc- cess {8 possible pon high principlesand by pining mon of churactur before tho voters, ‘he machine hug dotormined to make the best of tho uction of the Convontion, but the entire Gerinan press, with the exception of a small ovening Journal of Sovinlistic procilvitics, 1s : OPPOSED TO NNOWN.
