will preside tomorrow. There are no
less than seven men who are anxious to
contest the pleasure of settling
up dead mems estates with j.
K. COrrigan. John Steele of
Steele & Rees, seems the strongest
candidate. Steele is the only Irishman
who has been mentioned for place on
the Republican ticket, and for that
reason it is urged that he be given the
nomination, inasmuch as he is known to
He is making a strong run, and
it is believed by his friends
that he will be nominated on the second
ballot at least. Judge Bailey, of course,
has many friends among the old wheel
horses Of the party, but he is man who
has had sort Of monopoly on tine
public pap spigot for some time,
and the younger element of
the party want to see him
sdetracked for while. G. y. Leonard
will go into the convention with consid-
cradle strength, as will George III.
Grimes and George III. White, both of
whom have been making vigorous can
vases for the place. c. B. Holmes,
who was clerk of the probate court
under Judge Won Sehlegel, also wants
the nomination, but has so far developed
little strength. A. F. Knappen is after
the place, too, but Steele has lead over
all.
Frank NJ. Nye. it is conceded, has
been as good as nominated. Only in
one or two precincts of the Seventh
ward, one of the centerS of the anti
Catholic sentiment, have delegates been
or rnfr ,ut thnr
for j. n. Bearnes. Judge WEIGH makes
the following unique announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican NOM
ination of county attorney in the col
umns of his Home Diary"
Announcement.
In a free and easy conversation few years
ago with Frederick Douglass, he laid down
this rule as applicable to officeseekers:
If a man wants an Office, and feels him
self competent to the discharge of its duties,
and is, as man, generally acceptable to
those whom ne proposes to serve, do not
deem it immodest for him to ask for it,
Believing that am not without the pale of
this rule but rather within IL, and that it is
correct, | ask the next coming Republican
county convention of Hennepin county to
give me a nomination for the Office of county
attorney. when | shall ask the people to
eject me.

Sam Goodnow probably has the ma
jority of the delegates for the county
authorship nomination. Some scatter
ing delegations, however. were in
structed for w. I'll. Donaldson, and some
for e. j. Minor, the present deputy au-
ditor. But Minor is too young man,
and Donaldson to little of politi-
clan too secure that nomiua-
ton. Willis A. James will without
doubt be renominated by the Republic
cans for county treasurer. DR.. Towers
will also receive denomination. Just
whom the Republicans will put in the
field in the Second commissioner dis
