MORE POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Second District DcmccrItI and City
Republicans of Both Parties
Cauouo Tonight.
Local politics are on almost every
tongue in South Norwalk today, for to-
night there are to be three caucuses-—
the Republican and Democratic city
and Democratic town caucus.
The big fight. however. will bow wag-
ed at the Republican city caucus, at
Qultiner's Hall, in Railroad avenue,
for the party has not settled on any of
its candidates whereas there is pint-
ticaily no contest ahead, so for as can
be discerned. for either of the Demo
cralic caucuses.
For the Republican nomination for
mayor of the city here are three can-
dldutcs in the fluid. liliri'y W. Mather,
Dr. Robert M. Wolfe and Frank N. For»
I‘is. All three are first class men and
cach has a large number of friends
who are anxious for their nomination.

Iiing that the Norwalk Mluistcrs‘ ASSO-
t-lation would be represented at. the
caucus this evening, but the ltcv. 11. ll.
Carpenter, when approached on the
subiect, said that. he knew of no such
plan. it Is suppuscd that the rcpori.
arose from the fact that both the ltcv.
G. I). Egbert. and Mr. Carpenter nt-
lcndcil the Republican city caucus in
Norwalk last evening. Mr. Egbert is
an elector of the. City of Norwalk and
Mr. Carpenter took no pull in the pro-
cccdlngs, being present simply as a
spectator.
All five Republicans ou the city
council, Frank 11. Fitch, Georgi- w. B1)-
gardus, Daniel Dnulop, David W. Huy-
Inond and Thomas Robins are under-
. stood to be candidates for rcuomluu-
tiou. Chester F. Clark and .ioliu E.
Paul are also being mentioned for
places on the council ticket and ludicn-
tions are that. a lengthy caucus may
develop, though nothing like the oc-
currence Ill Norwalk last night Is no
