The executive committee at its re cent meeting pass.d au order that in each ward the ba'lotting should begin for members" of the executive committee, next for school commis sioners and then for aldermen. This is done to hold the crowds.

It Is probable a good plan to get the little things out of the way- first and then strike for the main chance.
