IN LOCAL POLITICS
And now the "kids" are divided.

And now the kids" are divided
A few of them want what they call "a
straight Republican ticket" while
others again want to indorse a few of
the nominees of the citizens commit
tee. F. W. Zollman, the Second ward
attorney. is leading the forces of the
latter, while Squire w. III. r. McMartin
demands straight party ticket. ALI of
the boys, however. are in for fight and
give it out cold that they propose to
control the next county committee.
IL don't intend to be in that conven-
ton myself" said Henry Johns yester-
day, but | will tell you frankly that
the fellows the Pioneer Press is abus-
ing as hard as it can are going to be on
top in Wednesdays convention. And
why shouldn't they? We are Republi-
cans and support the party nominees
every time, while the people who ARE
kicking US never attend primary cleo
ton or vote straight ticket"
The withdrawal of w. j. Freaney from
the race for the nomination for clerk of
court has changed the situation in the
Second ward to considerable extent.
Charles E, Keller, who was slated for
the legislature in the Second ward, is
now to go on the county ticket for clerk
of court, and the nomination for the
legislature is to be given to f. w. Zoll-
man. OF course Mr.. Keller's defeat for
alderman last spring has weakened
him with the people, who have come to
consider him almost chronic Office
seeker.
Unless things change considerably
during to-day and tomorrow, not
man beyond Charles N. Bell will be in
dorsed of all the citizens ticket. Gen.
Sanborn's vote for Cleveland in 1884 is
being cited to prove that he is at the
best mugwump, and Fred 1ngersoll is
slated in place of w. B. Dean. OF
course, if the convention follows the
programme indicated above, it will
make the thirteen-Story Merriam organ
very tired, but that may be just what
the kids want to do at this particular
time.
The Republicans of Hamline and st.
Anthony Park are never very harmoni-
DuS, and there are evidences that there
will be split among them this fall.
Many of the Hamlinites are not exactly
pleased with Hon. F. G. Stevens, who
represented them in the house two
years ago, and they are not over anX-
ious to give him their support this fall.
AT Hamline certain clique of Repub
licans have generally had affairs their
own way, and have elected and ap-
pointed delegates and judges as seemed
fit to the members of this body. These
gentlemen, in preparing for the Tues
day evening primary, had selected their
delegates among themselves, and
among these delegates for the Wednes-
day convention were George Norris and
MIR. BendiXon. These are the e emile
men who have the unfriendly feeling
for Mr.. Stevens, and they would proba-
bly, elect delegation unfriendly
to his interests. Delegates had
also been chosen at st. An
thony Park, and, imagine the
surprise of some of these gentlemen
when last evening they found dodgers
around the parks announcing that
meeting of the Tenth ward Republicans
would be held this evening at st. An
thony Park for the purpose of choosing
two sets of delegates to be voted for at
the Tuesday evening primaries. This
is a movement of those who wish heart
lily to IndorSe Hon. F. G. Stevens, and
possibly to help G. Fl. Benedict in secur-
ing the Endorsement of the county con-
Vention for senator from the county.
While these Republicans are meeting
at st, Anthony Park this evening the
Republicans of the Eleventh ward will
meet in Merriam Park and select dele
gates for the Tuesday evening pri
maries. There is very little interest
taken in political affairs at Merriam
Park this fall. All they ask is the
safety of Hon. F. G. Stevens.
