member, and the member from the
country being selected by the delegates
from the country. Of course there will
be strong opposition made to this plan,
by some of the candidates, who have
promised to have the hoodlums. who
assisted them in carrying the caucus,
hired by the county committee during
the campaign, but owing to the reckless
extravaganza of the last committee, and
the heavy Indebtedness which they con-
tracted, and which still remains unpaid,
each candidate will be very apt to
ignore the county committee and run a
private campaign for his own individ-
ual benefit, unless they can be assured
that the county committee will run the
campaign in the interest of the entire
Republican ticket, instead of certain
nominees, as it has been charged the
last committee did.
ANOTHER MATTER
which will create fight in the nomina-
ton of the legislative ticket. There
are two factions which are trying to
control the nominations for the legisla-
ture. One is composed largely of the
taxpayers, who wish to have the taxes
reduced, and the other is called the
Doodle gang, most of whom pay taxes
and are anxious to have matters remain
as they are at present. The plan of the
taxpayers is to have the clerk of court,
sheriff and register of deeds paid sal
aries of about $1,000 each, and to allow
the board of county commissioners to
approve the payroll for their clerk hire,
and then compel the incumbents of
these offices to pay into the county
treasury the fees received, which at
present constitute their compensation
and which amounts to enormous sums,
and also for the reduction of the number
of aldermen in the city council from thir-
ty-nine members, which is the number
now constituting that body, to sixteen,
and to have only one alderman elected
from each ward and the balance elected
at large by the vote of the entire city.
But as the the taxpayers are in the mi
nority it is hardly possible that they can
succeed in naming the legislative NOM
inees and they will, therefore, be COM
PEELED to assert their rights at the polls
by voting against the Doodle gang which
captured the primaries last evening.
THE ROLL OF CANDIDATs.
The candidates for the office of clerk
of court, which nets its possessor about
$24 200 per annum, are G. B. Terrill and

rightful heir to this Office. having been
the assistant county attorney for the
past four years; but nevertheless the
opposition to him is considerable.
John f. Peterson, the present regis
ter of deeds, is so well satisfied with
his office, which pays about $4,000 per
annum, that he is candidate for the
