MILWAUKEE, Oct. 11.-Fighting is now
going on all along the political line of battle
In Milwaukee county, and notwithstand ding
plumbers and political intrigue in the Demo
cratic county convention, that party has 6
good show of success in the final struggle
The result of the conventions deliberations
was as follows: For sheriff, George A. Albert;
clerk OF the courts, G. E. Weiss; district at
torney, j. NJ. Clarke; county treasurer, Hi
ram ID. Evarts; county clerk, John Saar:
| register OF deeds, Hubert Schlemmer; sur
veyor, j. W. Dupre; coroner, NJ. j. Dullea.
The first kick against the ticket was made by
| WIN. +. Klug, chairman of the county board,
| VINO was candidate for the nomination of
sheriff. He says he was beaten by a combi-
| nation, and viii have revenge therefor by at
tempting to beat the ticket Then the friends
of Ed Keogh forced Evarts to withdraw by
threatening to cut him to defeat. Keogh
wanted the nomination for treasurer, and
was determined to get it if possible; but he
was foiled by E. A. Bray, editor of the C4tto-
| lie Citizen, who stated to the committee that
he would bolt Keogh if nominated and work
for his defeat. Eugene Cary was then sub-
stituted for Evarts. Louis Saar then with
drew from the candidacy for county clerk, and
Abraham Baer was substituted in his place.
| Observing that the nomination Of Cary for
the treasurership would give the third ward
| two candidates, NJ. j. Dullea withdrew his
name for the coronership and DR.. Xelowslli
| was placed in nomination for the Office by
the committee. Francis S. Cams, an I'M
successful candidate for the nomination,
says he will run as an independent against
DIR. Xelowski. Naturally there is great
deal of chatter about the changes, but it is
thought the party will solidify before election
day.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
In the Republican county convention on
Tuesday Geo. Paschen captured the nomina-
ton for the shrievalty on the second forma-
ballot. His opponents were Peter Van Vech-
ten. Jr., and Col f. j. Refs. Christian
Paulus and George Traeumer were nomi-
nated) y reclamation for the Offices of clerk
of the court and county clerk respectively,
John E. Eldred secured the nomination for
register of deeds, ]. C. Corrigan was named
for treasurer, W. c. Williams for district at
torney, c. W. Buttles for surveyor, and c.
L. Fricke for coroner. The ticket is not a
strong one, and there is much grumbling
among Republican voters. The Evening
| Wisconsin bolts the nomin alton of Paschen
for sheriff and Williams for district attorney
on the grounds that they are incompetent
men who have been heretofore tried and
found deficient Independent of the IFiscon-
Sia'S action every printer in the composing
room will vote against Paschen and work
with tooth and nail to defeat him.
Their opposition is based on Paschen's svm-
pathy with the bOycotters of the Wisconsin
during the recent strike. Paschen, like the
demagogue that he is, cut the Wisconsn's
employees in an endeavor to secure the votes
of the members Of the Trades assembly.
Kicking against Paschen is now in style and
his defeat is predicted on all hands. The
postoffice ring is tbirsting for Eldred's blood
and will secretly work against him. There
is no love between him and Postmaster
Payne's clique, and this lack will no doubt
be manifest when the votes are counted
Eldred has done good work for his party, but
postoffice ring, his reward will be long de.
layed. On Friday G. w. Buttles, the nom
inee for surveyor, withdrew in favor of r. c.
Reinertsen, the present incumbent.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Passing the details of the two conventions
the names of the congressional candidates
for this the fourth district (the city of Mil
waukee) are P. V. Deuster (present incum-
beDt)and Isaac w. Van Setback for the Dem
ocrats and Republicans respectively. Deuster
is an able man who has demonstrated his
ability to represent the district, while Van
Schaick is nothing but pot-house politician
whose political prestige is based upon state
legislative service indifferently performed.
The contrast between the two candidates is
highly favorable TO Deuster. 1t is reported
that the new morning paper, The Globe, which
is to make its bow on the 18th, will oppose
Van Schaick vigorously. Van Setback
is man whose we're
city extends into low scale,
down to the level of a dog and cock fighter.
Republicans who saw him during the orgie
several years ago, singing ''Baby Mine'' in
front of the Chamber Of Commerce while the
grain and flour ''boys" pelted him with sam
pie sacks, cannot complacently picture his
occupancy of a seat in the lower house of
congress, "bear garden'' though 1t be, ac-
cording to the opinion of the lamented Sena-
tor Carpenter. Van Schaik's strength lies
in his ability to enlist recruits in ''gided
halls" aud low ''dives.' 1t is not expected
that sane voters viii weigh that ability
against the cknowledged good service of the
present incumbent, Mr.. Deuster.
Every district in the state has nominated
its candidates. In the Third district l.. p
Caswell, Republican, will oppose Ernst
Welton (DsmOcrat.) Although this district
went Democratic two years ago, when Chas
g. Williams was defeated by Winans, it is
conceded to the Republicans this year, as the
bolt from Williams was based on personal
grounds. In the Second district Gen E. s.
Bragg, Democracy will no doubt defeat s. &.
Barney, the Republican candidate. The
Third district will be sharply contested BY r.
NJ. LaFOllette, (Repubiican, and Burr Jones.
the present Democratic incumbent. Jones
wrested the district from the Republicans
two years ago, owing to the discussions In
their ranks, and as the old trouble has not
entirely disappeared It is predicted that he
