Inc Democratic county convention winch
Will be called to order in Pfeifer's hall at 10
a. IN. to-day, will have an easy task on its
hands. There have been plenty OF good
men to choose from for candidates, and
most of the little struggles incidental to
the assembling of convention
have already been settled in the prelimin-
aries. and matters are adjusted on the eve
of the convention which give general salts
faction. Late yesterday afternoon move
ment was started by which Messrs. O'Con-
nor and Kahn have come to
an understanding which is satisfactory
to the backing of each gentleman. Mr..
Kahn is satisfied to accept the nomination
for auditor, which the opposition was dis
posed to accede to him. and his friends are
willing to accept. Other candidates for
this place will doubtless try their strength
in the convention, but the settlement OF
this difficulty between MeSsrs. Kahn
and OConnor gives each thirty-three votes
which are as pledged, and forty-six which,
since the result of the caucuses is aScel-
tanned, are counted on. The First, Second
and Third wards, the second and third al
dermanic districts of the Fourth ward, and
the first and second aldermanic dis
trictS of the Fifth can be counted
upon for both the gentlemen named
for their respective places 1t is con-
fidently thought that Mr.. OConnor will
get the nomination for clerk of courts by
reclamation.
P. j. Giesen stands ahead for the Office
of register of deeds, so far as indicated
by the primaries. Mr.. Bell, however, has
a great many friends among the delega
tionS.
If J. FL. Gieske is still in the field for
the shrievalty, it makes a square-toed con-
test between George Allen and Thomas ii.
Caulfield for the
BALANCE OF STRENGTH
not controlled by him. Mr.. Gieske is a
delegate from the Second ward. the delega-
ton headed by Mr.. O'Connor. George
Allen counts upon the First and Fifth
wards. while the Fourth is naturally unit
for Mr.. Caulfeld. The other delegations
are probably more interested in some par
ticular candidate than the shrievalty. and
some combinations in this quarter may be
expected.
Since .. o. Cullen has come out for the
legislature in the Third ward, L. d. Wilkes
is the latest candidate for county treasurer.
The Endorsement of Judge Egan and Al
bert Scheffer is now assured. The dele
gates from the Fifth ward interviewed last
night say Albert Scheaer is good enough
for them.
The candidates for the probate judgeship
are exceedingly numerous. They are Ar
thur Otis, Richard Walsh, A. S. Hall, Stone
German, John H. Ives and Frank Robert,
and each is fayorite with good follow
ing.
Drs. Quinn. Hoyt and Markoe are in the
race for the coroner's office. The name of
Aid. Cullen has been suggested for the
craftsmanship of the convention.
The caucuses last night were very well
attended. Unusual interest was exhibited,
and a heavy vote was cast. Only in the
third aldermanic district of the Fourth
ward was there any contest and this more
an expression of local rivalry than anything
else. Three tickets were in the field, each
only slightly different from the other.
The ticket elected there is pledged
for O'Ccnnor Tor clerk, and Sem
ator Griggs for denomination,
and being headed by Mr.. Caulfeld is with
out doubt agreed upon him for the place of
sheriff. Occasionally at the other caucuses
delegates name received few scratches,
which had no effect upon the general har-
mOny which characterized the caucuses.
The delegates are given DeloW.
