County POl1tIcs.
A long secret meeting was held by the
Republican county committee in the office
of the chairman, Stanford Newell. yester-
day afternoon. A long discussion was in
dulged in by Sheriff Richter and others as
to the proper time for holding the county
convention. Mr.. Richter was exceedingly
DESTROYS to have late convention. M. j.
Bell and others opposed him. Finally it
was decided to hold the convention on
Tuesday. Oct. 5.
This convention will nominate candidates
for county attorney, sheriff, auditor. treas
urer, register of deeds, clerk of the district
court, judge of probate, surveyor, coroner,
superintendent of schools, six county COM
missioners-fOur from the city and two
from the country and the Seventh ward,
one senator and three representatives from
the Twenty-siXth senatorial district. and
one senator and four representatives from
the Twenty-seventh senatorial district.
A bitter fight is anticipated on almost
every office, in fact, it is expected that
PANDEMoNIUM WILL OCCUR
soon after the temporary organization.
The usual fights from the Second and Sixth
wards are expected to occur before the
committee on credentials. There is con-
siderable timidity among the youthful
aspirants, who are anxious to succeed
County Attorney Egan. John Cathcart
has been mentioned, but he positively de-
MES that he will be a candidate, as he con-
cedes that Judge Egan's denomination and
re- election are sure. G. n. Bell expects it,
and T. Il. Fauntleroy would like to get
the candidacy, but even among his own
friends his nomination is not considered
probable. The legal lights of the Young
Mems Republican club are anxious to be
represented, but every one of them is afraid
of Judge Egan. For sheriff, Fred Richter
is eager for the nomination again. He is
not satisfied with having held the Office
longer than any other Republican in the
county, nevertheless he says that if they
want 10 nominate him they must come
after him, if they think they can get
stronger man. Deputy Charles
Chapel, who gave Mr.. Richter
his last nomination, and who is universally
liked, and Charles ReichOw, who is cOnsid-
cred by some the only available candidate
to settle the difficulty between Chapel and
Richter, are working like Trojans to scoop
everybody else and one another. TO satisfy
the German element. it is proposed to NOM
mate F. A. REM for county treasurer. 1t
is the general opinion that j. j. McCardy
is to be the nominee for county auditor, but
to get the Scandinavian vote A. n. N lson
is also being doomed. Some sweet conSOla-
ton is to be offered to the Nichols family
in the gift of the nomination for clerk of
district court to w. A. Nichols. r. G.
Wiley desires denomination for register of
deeds, but NJ. j. Bell and G. p. Ritz are
setting up pins in that direction. and Mr..
Bell declares it was once promised to him
~, Of hic xuithIro VOL of
previous time. This and the ShrieValty are
looked upon as
THE FAT THINGS
of the county, and, of course, each candi-
date has to load himself down with promises
relating to prospective clerks and deputies.
Judge w. T. Burr, H. l.. Williams and NJ. f.
Propping are candidates for the nomination
for Judge McGrorty's bench, the two latter
being the candidates of the Young Mems
Republican club Nobody but George 81.
Hazard is very eager to be reelected
county commissioner. DR.. j. G. Markoe
has his eyes directed toward the cOrOnerS
office. Mr. Blake will probably be remomi
mated for superintendent of schools, while
the surveyorshlp will probably be left to
courtesy, and kept distinct from all other
offices.
An effort is being made to run Albert
Scheffer for senator in the Twenty-Sixth
district. 1t is also understood that Col.
! James II. Drake wants it. but neither of
these gentlemen would stand in the way of
the other. In the Twenty seventh district
the name of E. q. Rogers has been sug-
gested.
Whom to look for to succeed DR.. ]. II.
Murphy in the First ward as representative.
the Wire-pullerS are at a loss to know, I'M
| less they can fall back upon
DR.. Murphy. D. Aberle might be
selected if he would consent to run.
In the Second and Sixth wards w. r. Mer
riam is the probable candidate There is
boom for William Bickel, Jr., in the Third
ward. Fred G. Ingersoll, Jr.. is coming
forward in the lower district of the
FOURTH WARD,
and both W. B. Dean and w. D. Cornish
| want to run, the former in the interest of
Senator Mcmillan. The old fight is eX
pected to come up again. with bitterness,
| between MessrS. Dean and Cornish. Who
will undertake to run in Robert A. Smiths
district is not yet known, until it is
developed whether Mr.. Smith is
! out as candidate for state
| senator. In the Fifth ward A.
Pugh will probably be the man. G. A.
OdIluSUlOl1l, . VI UliO OOdtl-
dinavians, intends to take the stump for
McGill in the Swedish language, leaving
the district open to Col. Joseph Osborne if
he wants it. Mr.. Osborne is not seeking
the nomination, and Col. James II.
Drake has positively declined. A. D.
Robbins, w. l.. Ames and William Will
son are all proposed for the country dis
trict and the Seventh ward.
| Underlying all this is scheme to work
up young mans candidate for mayor,
concedng that Mayor Rice will be
nominated and elected to congress. That
| scheme is to secure the nomination of III.
| B. Willis. Of course this is with the I'M
| Outstanding that great concessions are to
be made in the immediate campaign. RAM
sey county is almost unit in urging the
nomination of G. K. Davis to succeed Sen
ator S. J. r. Mcmillan, but the st. An
thony hill clique are opposed, and big
effort will be made to bring out
MIR. M'MILLAN,
much to the aid of r. B. Langdon's inter-
ests in the senatorial direction. The county
| is not without its kickerS and one OF them
last night facetiously remarked that if
Davis went out to stump the state in
McGilrs interest he would be simply "a
sucker playing into the hands of r.
| B. Langdon and his hackers, Messrs.
| Pillsbury and Fletcher. There is horrible
chasm caused by the McGilletrickery. The
same gentleman said that since Pillsbury
and Fletcher. with the assistance of Gen.
| Mark d. Flower and FL. b. Willis. had
nominated McGill they could now proceed
to elect him. He conceded that both
counties would go Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic and he wanted no empty nomination
! IL 1,,ft al no
the popular enthusiasm for Ames and the
indignant uprising Of disaffected Republi-
cans, who have decided that the hour is
come to teach the ringleaders lesson by
killing their candidate.
The apportlonment of delegates is to be
the same for this county convention as the
last. giving a representation of 90 dele
gates. 81. B. Willis, James Schoonmaker
and several others are mentioned in connec-
