when the average Republican
looks through the list, he sighs and
asks how long?
"Well, it will not be long if the
barnacles be nominated. Some of the
shrewder Republicans see this and
therefore favor nearly new ticket
headed by Gen. Stockton for Treas
urer. Some of the barnacles say Gen.
Stockton is not candidate, that he is
going to Europe, etc. 1t is true that
Gen. Stockton is not begging for the
Office or demanding it, but he will ac-
cept if nominated. and will be back
from Europe in time to make long
canvass. Even the perpetual office
holders recognize Gen. Stockton's ac-
ceptability, and he will be the nominee
unless the slatemakers. in fixing their
combination, should find it necessary
to discard him. Louis Hutt says he
would not accept the Shrievalty and
he has not developed any considerable
strength as a candidate for the Treas
urership so far. James H. Gilbert has
the lead now for the Shrievalty, and
has been helped rather than hurt by
the attacks made on him dur
ing the last week by local
organ, which was obliged to take it
all back yesterday. If any county
official merits promotion on account of
efficiency Gilbert does, and he might
get the Shrievalty but for the feeling
in favor of new man. A West Side
combination favors Maj. Blodgett and
urges that the office he now holds is
merely honorary and that he ought to
be classed among the new blood. The
opposition to Mr.. Gleason is so strong
that he is not really regarded as in the
race, and it is intimated that he would
be satisfied with a minor nomination.
Peter A. ASundelius is slated for one of the
clerkships, and if the county delegates
insist on it Henry Wulff will be renom-
mated for County Clerk and the feel
