"kids." Whether this result was
reached through the medium of the
fine Italian hand of the governor is a
matter that is causing some dispute
among the different factions. Many
claim that it was: among these are the
friends of Senator G. K. Davis,
who are very anxious to have
straight Republican or Davis candi-
dates for the state senate nominated
against Gen. John B. Sanborn and w.
B. Dean 1.-The fact isl remarked a
well-known local politician yesterday,
this is a fight between
Merriam and Davis,
and Oh this theory alone can the strong
Merriam fight against the kids be ex-
planned. Had the kids been willing to
indorse Sanborn and Dean there would
have been no revival of the differences
created in the late municipal campaign.
But as the Republicans who are de-
nominated kids declare that they
wanted a straight Republican ticket
they are to be slaughtered. This is
their only sin so far, and If they are to
be crucified for advocating such doc
trines all right, let it go on, but as a
Republican | cannot indorse the nomi-
nation for senator of Gen. John 3. San
born, man who openly boasts of hay-
ing voted for Grover Cleveland in 1884.
If this sort of thing is Republicanism L
am through with it all. F."
The fight in the First ward this even
ing promises to be quite hot one. 5.
LowenStein is out for Sanborn and Lo-
men, while the leading Swedish Repub-
licans of the ward propose that Editor
Collery, of Skaffaren, shall have the
nomination for the lower house. They
are willing to give Mr.. Lomen an in
dorsement for the senate, but they claim
that the First ward Republicans ought
to have a right to select their own can
didate for the house. They are in for
home rule with a vengeance, and if
their man is cheated out of the nomina-
ton by slick work at the primaries
there is little doubt that he will be
placed in the field as an independent
Republican candidate. AS the ward is
overwhelmingly Swedish, there ought
to be little doubt as to which side will
come out on top this evening.
Some skids" seem TO be built after
the pattern of that small but rather OBJ
noxious animal that always knows when
to desert sinking ship. Up to yester-
day every indication pointed to clean
sweep for the "kids," and there was
perfect harmony among all the members
of that much-abused clique. Darius
Reese and Henry Johns were the most
inSeparable of friends. Fred Zollman
and Squire McMartin fairly idolized
each other. S. Lowenstein and Sam
Nichols smoked, counSeled, and almost
slept together.
But this harmonious and happy state
exists no longer. Defeat stares the
'.kidS" as all organization in the face,
and Henry Johns, Sam Nichols and
Squire McMartin have been deserted
by Zollman, Reese and Lowen-
stein. In other words, the last
three have clambered upon the Merriam
band wagon. and as their reward for
shaking" their friends, they are to be
enrolled among the silk stockings, and
be placed among them who are to be
saved. The evening Merriam organ
yesterday gave the whole snap away
when it declared that MeSsrS. Reese,
Zollman and Lowenstein were not
properly members Of the ''kid'' combi-
nation, and by It's bitter assault OH
Johns, Nichols and McMartin, clearly
demonstrated that it, like its morning
contemporary, is against any man who
dares oppose the Endorsement OF Gen.
Sanborn and William B. Dean for the
state senate.
The Republicans OF the Seventh and
Eighth wards seem to be pretty we'll IN
line for Fred &. IngerSOll for the senate
as against W. B. Dean, although the
Dean, or rather Merriam men, are NOV
ing heaven and earth to elect delegates
favorable to the Endorsement of their
man. The contract is one entirely too
large for them, however, and the youth
full Seventh ward lawyer will be an
easy winner. Messrs. Kellogg and Sey-
erance, Senator Davis partners, have
been doing some quiet but effective
work in behalf of MI. 1ngersoll during
the past three or four days, and are now
feeling quite confident that Mr.. Dean
will be laid on the shelf as far as
the Republican nomination is con-
cerned. There is little doubt
that if the matter is left
TO those Republicans who usually vote
at the primaries in the Seventh and
Eighth wards, Mr.. Ingerson will
walk off with the nomination by large
majority; but the Merriam men claim
that the Silk-stocking Oh the hill, who,
as rule. shuns party caucus as Satan
does holy water, will be on deck this
evening TO cast ballot for Mr.. Dean.
This would be all right, and insure the
latter's nomination were it not for the
fact that Mr.. 1ngersoll is something of a
silk-stocking himself. On the whole
tine chances are largely in favor of the
nomination of MIR. Ingersoll.
In the Ninth ward the pins have all
been set up for the nomination of Theo-
dOre Menk for the house. This will
hardly please the morning and evening
organs of the governor. but "when they
come to think of IT. he might as we'll be
sacrificed as-Henry HinkeDs, for eX-
ample.
While it was undoubtedly little pre-
vious. the Republican judges for this
evenings primaries were all sworn yes
terday in this way-affidayitS were made
| out in regular form, with notarial seal
and the signature of the notary upon
them, and all that will be necessary this
evening will be for the judges to

men who will act as judges this even
ing will not understand what they are
signing, but then the kids" frequently
take affidayitS in this manner. 1t will
be remembered that this was the plan
followed by Henry Johns and several
others in the attempted disfranchise-
ment of several hundred voters in the
| Third precinct of the Fourth ward last
May.
Unless Hon. III. L. Williams refuses
to be shelved and enters the race for
the senatorial nomination against Gen.
Sanborn, he will have Walk-oVer for
the nomination for the lower
house of the legislature in
the Third ward. Mr.. Williams
friends are bitterly hostile to the
Citizens ticket and are busy denounc-
ing it as a Democratic scheme to fol ce
candidates with Democratic seal on
the Republican party. Had the Citi-
