state senator from the Thirtleth dis
trict. Should he be nominated he will
have to make the run, in all probability,
M cfOOnD
Republican district. So far no oppo-
Sition to Mr.. McMillan'S candidacy has
appeared. The nomination seems al
most certain TO go to him, and, ii it
does, he will make johnson hustle. Mr..
| Mcmillan is making no active canvass,
but is being pushed by the Democrats
of his district. Martin Aalberg is can
didate for the house from the Thirtieth
district. He is a well-knOWn Scandl-
navian Democrat from the Ninth ward.

chairman of the convention tomorrow.
No other name has been proposed for
the place, so that it is extremely prob

nifty, and in manner satisfactory to the
people on the floor.
W. II. Lynn, of the Fourth ward, is
candidate for senator in the Thirty-flrst
district, or rather his friends are urging
his name, which has been so favOrably
received that he will probably feel war
ranted in making a canvass.
Louis r. Than, r. L. Penny and W.
Fl. Donahue are the Democratic can
didates for county attorney. Mr. THAN
has many enthusiastic supporters who
believe that he will make a good run as
new candidate who has never before
looked for an office. w. Ii. DOnahue is
also followed by large number of sup
pOrters who want to see him succeed.
Penny is making no active effort to Sc
cure the nomination. He made hard
fight two years ago, and will do it again
if called upon by the party. lie feels
that his Democracy and himself are
well enough known in the party with
out further canvass.

Politics in the Tenth ward is assum-
ing a campaign color. The Repub-
licans practically concede the election

are several candidates in the field for
the nomination on the Democratic
toned George w. Norton, who has the
entire support of the Northsiders, o.
II. Erickson, Matt Gross and f. A.
Schwartz are the candidates for county
commissioner. The second named is
considered tout of the race" while an
interesting fight between the other two
is anticipated. Schwartz stands very
GOOD show of securing the nomination,
"a re has shown his faithfulnesS to his
party, and has the support of many of
the leading Democrats in the Third and
Tenth wards. Erickson, however. has
plenty of friends. and has given good
satisfaction as county commissioner,

for any one who opposes HIM.
