The Democratic primaries for delegates
to the Democratic convention to be held
next Tuesday passed. on quietly at all the
wards in the city Thursday. There being
no pronounced candidacy yet for any of the
offices at the coming city election to be held
on Monday, April s, the primaries were Tree
from any OF the strife or bitterness such es
characterized the Republican primaries
when the scenes in the Fifth ward especially
were disgraced by the trickery and corrupt
methods OF the sure-thing element.
Local politics may now be said to be
sairly under way. There has begun to be
q more general expression of opinion
among Democrats as to preference for can
didatss, and several names were mentioned
yesterday as likely to be brought up in the
convention. A strong effort has been made
to induce W. R. Kenyon to allow the use
OF his name for Mayor. His name would
win support from all classes from his un-
impeachable record and high standing in
the eommunity az one oil the leading mer-
chants OF the city and the acceptable
manner i'm which he filled the Office before.
Dore Aiken has also been spoken OF favor
ably by many Democrats. He has bad
Legislative experience, and bears q high
reputation. The name Of DID,. Hennessy
has also been mentioned as likely to be
presented for this position, end being pop
ular with all classes, he would make agood
race If chosen. +.
w. Y. Pemberton is the man most
generally spoken of for the position OF City
Attorney. He would make an excellent
prosecuting officer and could be relied on
t.. give his personal attention to the duties
of his office with ability. His attachments
as a lawyer would bring sound learning to
the aid of the council in the position OF
legal adviser OF that body.
W. j. Penrose is the only candidate men
toned thus far for Police Magistrate before
the convention and he is likely to he un-
opposed.
