TALK ABOUT THE TICKETS.
Capt. Burgers Withdrawal Has Been
Suggested.
DEMOCRATS SURE TO WIN.
Republicans Threaten to Bolt the Nom
nations Made at Mondays
Convention.

Everything was very quiet in politi-
cal way about town yesterday, and the
politicians who love to congregate On
the corners and in the hotel Hobbies and
make and break states were conspicuous
by their absence. 1t was cold day,
but not a whit colder than the feel
ings of the average Republican
towards the county ticket which
emanated from Market hall Monday.
The better element of the party Is
wratliy at the result of the convention,
and, in consequence, wholesale bolt Is
threatened. 1t is generally conceded
by members of both parties that a
weaker ticket was never nominated,
and disaster must Overtake it as surely
as the 9th of November rolls around.
If the ID emOcratS act with wisdom and
discretion there is no reason why they
should not make clean sweep on cleo
ton day. There was talk of withdrawing
Capt. Burger from the ticket-that is, of
course, if Burger is willing. But he is
not Barkis. He is confident of cleo
ton, and will make the run, even if in
doing so
HE SWAMPS THE WHOLE TICKET.
There is strong movement on foot
to induce Chief Clark to make the run
for sheriff. He is somewhat averse to
entering into a political struggle, with
all the labor and trouble, to say nothing
of the expense, incident to such a con-
test; but his friends, who are legion, de-
mand that he shall make the sacrifice.
lest Clark should give his con-
sent to run, for well he knows
in that event his name would be changed
from Ed to Dennis. Should Clark re-
fuse to run, the nomination will fall to
Geo. Moeller, one of the most popular
Germans in the city. NJ. f. Kahn, the
efficient county auditor, will have a
walk-over in his contest with Capt.
Osborne. Mr.. Kain's administration
has been marked with conspicuous
ability, and it is only courtesy that he
should be given a second term. Mr..
Osborne will run well among the Scan
dinayians, but outside of that national
ity the votes he will receive will be
FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.
The impression is general that the
nomination of Osborne was mistake,
and that II. c. Ford would have made
better run.
NJ. j. Bell will have a hard road to
travel this time, no matter who his adj
yersary may be. The element to whom
he owed his first election. have deserted
him, and will vote for the Democratic
candidate at the fall election. MIR. Bell
has made ''dicker'' with Mr.. Hage-
mann, his deputy, by which the latter
is promised the deputyship in return
for his influence among the Germans.
Mr.. Moeller or Mr.. Giesen will be his
opponent, either one of whom will have
no trouble in showing him under
There .are two candidates mentioned
for the Office of county treasurer on the
Democratic ticket-W. Z. Burton and
A. n. Nelson. Whoever the Democratic
nominee may be. he will have an easy
thing on the one-armed orator from the
bluff.
The most unconcerned politician in
the city is j. j. Egan. who has been in
dOrsed by the Republicans, and is sure
of nomination by the Democrats. He
has practically no opposition, although
Tom Ryan, the Labor candidate for
county attorney, says he will surprise
people with the vote he will get. q
BY far the strongest man on the Re-
publican ticket is II. F. Stevens, and
the only fault he has is that he is trav-
cling i'll bad company.
DR.. MarkOe will be the Democratic
candidate for coroner against his old
opponent, DIR. Quinn. DIR. Markoe be-
lieYeS that he defeated Coroner Quinn
in the election two years ago on
square fight, and that the latter'S vic
tory was due to crooked work at the
polls. Besides, DR.. Quinn has had the
Office two terms, and as third terms are
not popular the chances of his being
relegated to private life are excellent.
