what they intend to do in Allegheny coun-
". For many Of the offices no names have
been suggested. Although in majority of
cases candidacy in this county is hopeless,
H T. Watson, W. ]. Bremen and other
Democratic guiding lights agree that full
ticket will be nominated.
There are no known candidates for any
county Office except Commissioner. Three
are to be elected, and under the law one is
sure to be Democrat Daniel McWilliams,
the incumbent, who lives, in the Second
ward, is a candidate, with his usual strong
backing. d. j. Boyle. the liveryman, of the
Seventh ward; james Italian, a painter, of
the Sixth ward, and Alexander Wilson, the
tobacconist, living in the Eleventh ward of
Allegheny, are out for the nomination. 1t is
likely that the Democrats will nominate
two, as the Republicans have done.
William j. Bremen, the attorney and
head of the County Democracy, is not a
candidate for the Congressional nomination
against Hon. John Dalzell. The only man
reported to be willing to run in the TWENTY
third district is Samuel L. Bellman, a
druggist at the corner of Butler and Forty
eighth streets. He has been an active Dem
ocratic worker.
DOING CONSIDERABLE THINKING.
1.-THE dissatisfaction in the Republican
ranks of Allegheny over the Congressional
fight is nuts for the Democrats, said Clerk
of the Street Commissioners Stubs yester-
day, "and everything that comes to our net
in the way of a disguised Bs yne delegate is
Spanish mnckerel The County
Democracy have not said much
about the moves they contemplate
making to put up candidate who will
draw votes from disgruntled Republicans,
but they are doing heap of thinking L
haven't heard word as to the probable
candidate, and cannot say who will be men
toned for the place. 1t all depends on
what action the Republican County Com
mittee takes. If the committee indorses
Stone, then we will put up the best man
we've got against him and secure the votes
of those who are opposed to Colonel Stone
on account of the manner in which he was
nominated at the convention"
Interviews with other Democrats were
had touching the Congressional campaign,
but they all appeared TO be adverse to CIV
ing any definite information for various
reasons. Several City Hall employees were
approached, and were unanimous in stating
that the opportunity of the Democrats was
at hand.
EXPECTING TO WIN.
1--WE will win sure, from the looks Of
things at present, said one. "All we want
to ds is to enter the campaign now with
popular candidate at the head, and we will
carry the day. Two prominent lawyers and
well-known citizens are spoken of as the
Il ~,
nominee will be chosen. They are d. +.
Patterson and d. T. Watson"
"I understand there is going to be an in
dignation meeting held in Allegheny Sat-
urday night by anti-Bayne people" said
Undertaken Rodney, who is we'll versed in
local politics. 1.-THE object will be to get
the feeling of the public. You know it is
reported that Colonel Stone will have con-
siderable opposition if he runs for Repre-
sentative, and it is necessary to select some
one who will satisfy all Republicans.
Already there are many boilers who loudly
proclaim that they will wing their flight
from the party at the coming election, and
since Colonel Stone is stated as being deter
mined to fight it out, now or never, there
will be trouble In camp. 1t is given out as
a dead sure thing that the Executive Com
mittee will nominate a new man at
the County Convention to be held again,
and he, with Stone and possibly Shiras,
would make three Republican candidates
against one Democrat, which would split
our party and give the opposition walk
over. The man mentioned as the possible
new candidate is Mr.. Walter Lyon"
BEING GENERALLY SIGNED.
The petition now going the rounds in
Allegheny to get the opinions of leading
citizens as to the advisability of holding the
primaries over again, is securing the sig
natures of the most prominent business and
professional men of the city.
William NJ. Kennedy, the able lieuten-
ntof Mr.. Shiras, was seen last night, and
asked whether his candidate had finally de-
cided TO withdraw. "I cannot say until we
test the legality of Stones nomination."
said Mr.. Kennedy. However, all the
friends of Mr.. Shiras are opposed to bring
ing him out as an independent candidate,
ana desire TO leave the matter to the people"
Those who are in a position to know
stated Yesterday that the Democratic candi-
dates for the State Legislature have vet to
be named, and so far are unknown to any
one.
The southern end of the county will have
something to say about the Congressional
nomination in the Twenty-fourth district
Two Allegheny men have been announced
as candidates. They are Postmaster J. B.
Shale, OF McKeesport, ana DR.. John Pur-
man, OF Homestead.
THE OTHER CONTESTS.
The only suggestion tor the Forty-fourth
Senatorial district, to oppose William
Finn, is J. A. Clarke, an oil man of the
East End. The district is strongly Repub-
lcan.
In the Legislative districts the Fourth is
the only one recognized as Democratic. The
announced candidates there are Councilman
John Kearns, of the Tenth ward, and ex-
Alderman M f. Cassidy, OF the First ward.
Alderman Cornelius O'Donnell, of the
Ninth ward, is said to be willing to accept
the nomination.
Notwithstanding the heavy Republican
majority in the Fl tn Legislative district,
which includes the East End and the South
side, William Walls, a popular Democrat
of the Southside, is spoken of as a candidate
for that district. Mr.. Walls was formerly
State lecturer for the knights OF Labor.
The Democrats will elect % delegates TO
the State convention. The Republican rep
resentation 10 State conventions is based on
the number of representatives elected by
each Legislative district, but the Democrats
send one delegate for each J, 600 votes cast
for Chauncey F. Black for Governor in
1896
