urer, was named in the early part of
the week as a candidate for Sheriff on
the ticket with Louis Hutt, but it is
understood that General Smith would
not accept nomination. 1t appears
that he favored the election of Cregier
for Mayor, and that would in itself be
a sure bar to his nomination by Re-
publican convention in this county.
Mr.. Hutt must look up some new run
ming mate. For the first place on the
ticket the small, back number candi-
dates have virtually dropped out and
the ticket will be about as follows for
Treasurer and Sheriff Stockton and
Benner, Campbell and Benner, or Ben
ner and Gilbert. SO far, neither Mr..
HUT nor Major Blodgett has developed

promising candidate.
If Mr.. Campbell is nominated for
Treasurer, OF Mr.. Benner is nomi-
mated for either Sheriff or Treasurer,
Henry Wulff will not be nominated for
County Clerk. His hope of success
lies in the nomination of two Ameri-
cans for the two principal places. His
ticket, then, naturally would be Stock
ton and Gilbert, with Wulff in third
place. Deputy Sheriff Charley Gross
will dispute the place with him in any
event Neither may get it.
If Benner or Hutt is nominated for
either of the first places, the County
Clerkship will probably be given either
to William T. Ball, ex-Collector of the
North Town, or to William Lorrimer,
of the Seventh Ward, while James
Pease, of Lake View, is sometimes
mentioned. Lorrimer will be backed
by the southwestern wards if Hertz
can command them. Ball will have
the support of the North Town wards,
and in certain events the support of
the Lake View wards. Charles Gross
hopes for nomination for this office
are based on the Campbell -Blodgett
slate going through. A Campbell
Benner combination would mean Gill
bert for County Clerk
p. J. .Cahill is almost certain to get the
nomination for Probate Clerk, though
if Lorrimer is beaten for County Clerk
he will be urged by Hertz for the place
in order to save the Criminal Court
Clerkship for z. A. Sundelius. Stran-
ger things have happened. however,
than the nomination of Lorrimer for
Criminal Court Clerk. That may be a
necessity of the situation if Ball or
Wulff is nominated for County Clerk.
THE JUDGEsHIPs.
In reference to the Judgeships there
is nothing new except that some good
lawyers hold that it will be optional
with the Governor whether he will call
for the election of two additional Su-
perior Court Judges 1t is said it will
be urged on him not to call for such
election, on the ground that there are
enough Judges now if they would at
tend to the business of the courts aud
forego junketing vacations of three
months duration.
S. S. Gregory's.big bill in the drain
age case, it IS said, precludei all pos
sibility of his getting the Democratic
nomination for County Judge. The
junior Democratic organ is against
Hutchinson, and so it may 60 either to
Terhune or Darrow, or Frank Scales.
I +. Il. Bliss or Edward Maher will be
the Republican nominee for County
/ Judge.
