In the first place c. M. Foote will be
chairman of the convention. foote can
have almost anything he wants since
his magnanlmous conduct OF Wednes-
day. He will. moreover, lend dignity
to the craftsmanship, and will prove an
able presiding officer, since ne IS no
stranger to such positions. +. b. VIM
ston will, of course, be there and call
the convention to order, as chairman OF
Al. In, vi
work done by the city convention two
DAYS ago. the county convention has a
worthy precedent, and the character OF
the nominations made will not only not
prove drag upon the city ticket, but
will materially aid to strengthen 1t.
The best of feeling prevails over the re-
suits of Wednesdays convention. and
mistakes in the county convention are
thereby rendered almost impossible.
The contention will develop plenty OF
candidates for the various posltlonS; !.
but, outside the places on the county
ticket proper, there seems a scarcity OF
hustlers after the legislative positions
Aspirants for law-making honors are
not at all bold in coming forward.
E.B. Clements, P. P. Swensen and
]. Nj. EustiS are the active candidates
for the head of the county ticket. 1t
was reported late last night that Glenn
ents had withdrawn from the race, but
it is believed that he will be pushed by
his friends and forced to accept, as, he
seems to be favorite. Should he pull
out the fight will be left to Eostis and
Swensen. FL. O. Peterson and Matt
Walsh have been mentioned for county
treasurer, but Walsh prefers going to
the legislature. Julius q. Heinrich,
eX-Ald. Jacob Stoft and A. E. Herlick
seem to be the only candidates for reg
lister OF deeds. Here again one OF the
candidates has an eye Oh the leglsla--
ture, leaving the race between Heinrich
and Herrick. the former being in the
lead. r. N. S. Sartz has it about all
his own way so far as the auditor
ship is concerned, although Daniel
Donovan may be candidate. An effort
has been made to have F. &. Holbrook
run for auditor, but it is extremely I'M
likely that Holbrook would accept the
nomination. He has said that he does
not want it. l.. r. Than and e. f.
Baxter are still in it, and they alone, for
county attorney. r. l.. Penny has come
to the conclusion that he will not accept
the nomination, and has positively de-
clined to run, although pressed to- do so.
THAN has the best OF the race, with
Penny out, and will undoubtedly be
nominated. w. Ell. Donahue long since
declined to become candidate. j. r.
Corrigan. G. L. G. Goebel, M. f. Hanley
and ii. P Herring are the only ones
mentioned for the probable JndgeShip.
GoebeI and Corrigan are the only ones
who have been making an active can
vaSS, and the contest seems to be mainly
between them. DR.. William j. Byrnes,
Dr.. M. 2. Finnegan. DR.. W. 0. Stevens,
DR.. S. Friedlander and DR.. T. Laliberte
want to succeed Coroner Towers. Be-
sides Sergeant Smith, A. T. An
keny, John B. Atwater, F. C.
Brooks and Thomas CAVITY have
been proposed for district judges.
e. T. Erickson desires to be returned to
the board of county commissioners. but
is being opposed by Matt Gross and E.
A. Schwartz, who has been nominated
for alderman. They are from North
Minneapolis. In South Minneapolis T.
P. Dwyer and John Nelson are both
candidates, with good deal Of oppoSi
ton to both. Frank E. Haycock is about
the only man mentioned so far for
county surveyor.
With the legislative positions it is diff
ferent. In some districts there are too
many candidates, in others not enough.
The First and Second wards, constitut-
ing the Twenty-ninth district. Joseph
lngenhntt has been spoken of for SEN
ator, but, as Joseph will go back to the
council, some other man will doubtless
be chosen. Hugh Jennings, George E.
Ledgerwood, Matt Gallagher, ex-Ald.
EHerault, John Norton, Michael Tobin,
Aid. John MCGOWAN, Pierre Long and
John Kinane are candidates for the
two places in the house. j. M. Grit
fifth is also talked of. kinane seems
likely to secure one of the nominations,
as the First ward representative, and
Griffith may go from the Third, as a,
compromise candidate.
~
The Thirtieth district, comprising the
Second and Ninth wards. gets a sena-
tor and two representatives. +. g. Nc
MILAN will probably be the nominee for
the senate. r. l.. Penny wants to. go
to the house, and there is no opposition
to speak of to his candidacy. The other
place will doubtless be given to Ninth
ward Scandinavian-Martin Aolberg.

The Thirty-frst district gets three
representatives besides its senator, the
Fourth and Tenth wards composing it,
together with the villages of Crystal
and Osseo and the townships of Crystal
Lake. Brooklyn, Champlin, Dayton and
Hasson Henry or Frank Morse will
be the senatorial candidate, although
7. B. Janney has been mentioned. G.
A. Carnman and w. 81. Lynn SO far are
the only ones mentioned forrepresenta-
tives. although another is necessary to
fill out the ticket. When the conven-
ton meets this morning, however, a
search warrant will not be necessary to
find the candidates.
The Thirty-seeond district, Fifth and
Sixth wards, gets senator and four
Representatives. The senatorial and
one representative candidate will be
taken from the Fifth ward and the
other three from the Sixth. Alonzo
Phillips seems to have the call for the
senatorial nomination, although Robert
Pratt may consent to run. w. II. Trip
wants to make the fight for the house
from that ward and so does c. A. Quist.
