Now that the Republicans have taken
the initiative in regard to the county
conventions, It's expected that the DEM
ocratS will shortly fall into line in the
same direction, and from this time for
ward the campaign promises to be de-
cdedly interesting. The Republican
primaries for delegates to the cOnven-
ton which will select candidates for
the legislature from Ramsey cOun-
ty will be held Friday evening,
between and Z O'Clock, in the seven
legislative districts of the county.
Saturday afternoon the primaries will
be held, between and Z o'clock, for del
egateS to a convention which will
choose candidates for the county offices,
and the probabilities are that very live
ly times are in store, owing to the num-
Der Of gentlemen who are anxious to fill
these positions in the gift of the people.
Both conventions will be held at Market
hall Monday. For the Office of sheriff
there are tour Democrats who
would like to succeed Sher-
if Richter, their names being
George Moeller, Thomas Caulfield. A.
ID. Wentink and Mic POttgeiser, Jr.
Among his Republican brethren there
are several applicants for the sheriffalty,
the most prominent being Capt. E. 5.
Bean, who has been an avOwed candi-
date for several, months, and is very
sanguine of being the nominee of the
Republican convention. His claims are
disputed by Charles Chapel, G. w.
Miller, John Harris, of North st. Paul,
John Lesch; and Sheriff Richter would
not be averSe to holding down his
chair for another term.
For county auditor NJ. F. Kahn will be
the nominee of his party. and has al
ready been Endorsed by the labor peo-
pie for the position, although MeSsrS.
Joseph Osborne and Henry G. Ford, of
the Manitoba shops, have also an
nounced that they are candidates.
For register of deeds Capt. NJ. j.
O'COnnOr and w. A. Van Slyke seem to
be the strongest candidates among the
Democrats, and p. j. Geisen, who was
beaten two years ago, would like to try
it again. The incumbent, NJ. j. Bell,
has made satisfactory official, but his
place is coveted by another Republican,
Gregory p. Ritz.
There does not seem TO be any oppOsi-
ton to the denomination of w. +. Bur-
ton, county treasurer on the Democratic
ticket, and of +. a. REM on the Repub-
lican.
Talk among Republicans indicates
that there will be no opposition to
will be Endorsed by their convention for
this position. Thomas Ryan, who has
been nominated by the Labor conven-
ton, will seek an Endorsement at the
hands of the Republicans, but as a
prominent member of that party said
yesterday, "Judge Egan is a good man
and should be left alone"
The same may be said of Probate
Judge +. Stone German, who will be
renOminated and undoubtedly receive
the support of both Republicans and
Democrats.
Coroner Quinn Will be the nominee of
the Republican convention, and the
Democrats will oppose him with DIR.
MarkOe, and it is understood that Dr.
Kelly would like to hold inqueStS.
County Superintendent \. q. Blake
has given universal satisfaction, and all
the indications point to his Ten0mina-
| ton and Endorsement by both parties.
While nothing has been agreed upon
regarding the candidates for the legiS-
! lature, the names most prominently
mentioned among the Republicans are
}. q. Elmquist, for the district cOmpris-
| ing the First and Second wards; Hiram
+. Stevens, a portion OF the Fourth and
the Sixth wards; William f. Bickel, Jr.,
| portion of the Fourth and the Ninth
ward; +. G. Stevens, for the Tenth and
| Eleventh wards and country; Walter
Ii. SanbOrn, for the district comprising
the Seventh and Eighth wards. Geb-
| hard Willrich is also mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the nomination of the lat
ter district. In the Fifth ward the
