MR, uApLIoH 10 be sEoRETARY.

The Seeley slate, as II stands at pres
ant has Albert G. HRdliCh, q prominen
member OF the knights Of 81, George
and member OF Council from the Second
ward, booked for the office Of secretary,
and George w. busch, another young
Democrat also OF the Second ward, ioI
assistant secretary, "Bud" McRinnistsr,
OF the First ward and o b, & o, engineer
are to be,th engineers and james Fitz-
slmmons, q South Slider, Is to be the
blacksmith,
The Seeley interests arc being well
looked after by an able Quintetta ofcoun-
cllmGn, hlessrs. HRndlan, Hadlich, o Kane
and Ferrell aud Senator Emsheimer, II
required considerable Diplomacy tO.Gatoh
the Senator and get him inttrs,t d in
the scheme, but he was finally fairly
hooked, The little song that this quin-
tette MARBLES in the ears OF those who
hesitate about Joining the seeley pro-
cession is "Come In with good people
and we'll take care OF YOU" Three
or four people have experienced severe
nervous shocks on first hearing this.
Dol, Albert FranEheim will, it Ia un-
derstood, sulIer another disappointment
by reason Ol the rearranging OF the See
ley slate provided Ii goes through, and
Of that there Is now apparently but little
doubt. The Colonel still has his eye on
the Sherif's office, and when Mr.. Steen-
rod shall have done with it Colonel
Eranzhelm proposes to occupy II. He
reasoned well that u two'year term
in the gas oiIlce would bs Of
material benefit to him In his can
vass for the sherlGalty, as 1t would
afford him Rn opportunity to meet a
large number OF people frequently aud
by treating them cleverly, rs he does
everybody with whom he comes in con.
tact, make many friends. He Is reported
to have believed himself in on the
Seeley movement till one fine morning
when he aWoke to realization that See
ley had another running mate, Mr., Had.
Itch, Colonel Fransheim's present posi-
ton in this matter Is understood TO be
that OF light squadron operating with
the Darrah forces aud ready 10 take ad-
vantage OF any opportunity that may
present Itself TO dash in and snatch vie
tory from the jaws Of defeat
Col, Louie Gaus Ia said 10 he another
one whose confidence has been mis-
placed, After his term in the Internal
Reyenue office here, au experience as
Assistant Secretary was something he
was willing to try, but the outlook Is
now that he will not figure out the %
per cent reduction on bills paid before
the 10th,
There are still others who are doomed
to disappointment. They have been
caught by that slren.like song OF the
quintette and are hustllng for Seeley In
the belief that there Is reward some
whers In store for them.
AS has been stated, Mr.. seeley Is very
confident; the question Of to caucus or
not to caucus, Is understood 10 have lost
oil interest for him. At first he was in |
favor Of n caucus, while Mr.. Dar-
rah was opposed to one. MIR. Dar-
rah IL still opposed to such u
course, aud Mr.. Seeiey claims to |
be Indifferent as to whether one is held
or not. MCssrs. Seelpy and HNdliGh are
In frequent communication with each
other, aud are kept well posted as to
what Is being done,
Where the fourteen Republican votes
will go remains to be seen. Mr.. Tracy,
However, can be set down as being solid
for the slate Of lis friend seeley. Mr..
Cecil Robinson will, it is understood,
vote for Mr.. Jepson, while perhaps not
endorsing the entire scheme of which
Mr.. Jepson lisa part,
