MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. oo.-Thcrc is a slight
awakening In reference 10 the nominations for
State officers in Wisconsin. 1t is thought par
ties are t,lore srcnly balanced than they were
few years aEo, and for that reason much will
depend upon the character Of the noptueca.
So fur as relates to the Republican party, Ltil-
lngton having declucd to be its candidate
for Governor, Mr. Smith, Of this
city, occupies a foremost position
for the nomination. TIE delegates
already elected In tho several wartls Of this
city ase reported TO be favorable to Ills nou,a-
tIon. Mr. Allen. aiso Of this city, Is influential
as candidate for that Office. sir. Sawyer, late
member Of Congress from the Sixth District, Is
also IN favor with tnany Republicans tor the
nomination. Mr. Wallace Mygatt. Of Kenosha,
