ment, bat some interesting battles we're
fought. One knows now as much about
! what the convention will do as he did a
week ago. There will surely be nomi-
mated Thursday, probably by accfama-
ton, George Z. Ledgerwood for.audi-
tor; Julius Heinrich for register of
deeds; Louis r. Than for county at
torney; James r. Corrigan for judge of
probate; DR.. W. j. Byrnes for coroner;
James b. Egan for county Surveyor;
James Lewis for superintendent of
schools. 1t looks like Alonzo II.
Phillips for sheriff. E. B. Clement,
John Sandberg, Arthur Menard,
! Henry Thompson and Bernard Cloutier
have been mentioned. An evening
! paper says Tom Scott is one of them.
! but Scott is pulling for Phillips. The
| nomination for county treasurer lies be-
! tween kriStian Kortgaard and L. j.
! Buxton. KOrtgaard has the prestige of
! being city treasurer. Buxton has been
! city treasurer, and good one. and is
one OF the strongest Democrats I'D tile
county. Matt Walsh has been spoken
! OF. but is not seeking the nomination.
For clerk of courts, John Landbtrg.
| Luth Jaeger and A. G. Lardeson have
| been mentioned. Lardeson says he
! does not want it. 1t seems to lie be-
tween Jaeger and Landberg. The leg
! lSlative contests will be the hottest.
Here is the list, exclusive of the Thirty
fourth district, usually Republican:

Not all of these are active candidates.
! and some OF them might as well pull

i'll the east end of the Twenty-ninth
| w. II. Trip will not be nominated i'll
the Thirty-second. Neither will James
| j. Smith. 5. a. StockweI may get
nomination in the Thirty-third, but it is
| doubtful. Besides these others may
| come i'll. K. l.. Penny, for instance, in
| the l hirty-fourth.
Charles NJ. Foote is spoken of for
chairman of the convention. He may
get it and he may not. There is opposi-
ton to him.
The Fight in the Precincts.
Not all the precincts could be heard
from last night. Down in the Ninth
precinct of the Fifth ward there were
two caucuSes. The official call for the
convention set o'clock as the hour for
holding the CaucuSes. 1t is claimed
that Q. Nj. Foote and w. H. Tripp Or
ganlZed the caucus before O'clock and
elected {. NJ. FUote. John Duffield and
W. II. Trip delegates. At O'Clock
! l03 men assembled in the same precinct
and elected Samuel Mills. Thomas Me
! Cabe and DR.. Samuel Friedlander. The
| Foote men say theirs was the regular
caucus and that the other was composed
! of foreigners.
The Fourteenth of the Fifth was
! quiet. ID. B. Johnson carried it for
himself and John b. Quinn.
! The Second precinct of the Third ward
| elected IL. A. Montgomery. Fred Lo-
REM. John Larson. Matt Scbulenberg
and William Hennessy. and instructed
! them for LorenZ for the legislature
The Eleventh precinct of the Third
VI. Il.
! II. Quinn and William Daily ana in
| structed them for Meagher.
Contrary to custom. the caucus in the
| Thirteenth precinct of the Third ward
was quiet and harmonious. A. S. Dow
! dali, X. b. Forrest, John Lyons and JAY
! Gould were elected and instructed for
| DOwdall for the legislature
In the Fourteenth of the Third II. NJ.
Doyle, A. j: Griffin ana S. S. Dunno
were elected, also for Dowdalle. Dow
dale has d lead in the Third, but
| Meagher and L0renZ are working to-
gether and may beat him.
From the Twelfth OF the Third ward
Hugh Jennings, w II. Mills and Mel
T. HeniOn will go to the convention.

and NJ. B. Hewitt were elected in the

The Republican Fight.
The fighting in the Republican con-
vention today will begin as soon as the
body has been called to order Three
candidates for chairman are in the neld.
| No one of the three has strength enough
to land the prize on the first ballot.
Henry +. GjertSen won't be chairman.
but he will have some votes. Col.
Charlie w. Johnson wants the place. oh.
so badly! But John Day Smith thinks
that noble Eighth warder who. sim
gle-handed and alone, has met
the doughty Ignatius DOnnelly
deserves more honor than the
messenger OF United States senators
He was hustling yesterday, was John
Day, and he will go into the convention
with plenty of strength. That fight will
open the battle, and the war will last
till after sunset. No less than eighty
six dead politicians will be carried off
the field. Persistent efforts have been
made by the Tribune to sidetrack Man.
nix. for auditor, but they have only
made friends for him. This nominal
ton will be first on the list. 1t lies be-
tween Cooley and Mannix, ManniX the
favorite. Minor is not in it. If Capt.
j. Z. Osborne has any strength it hasn' t
been discovered. The SWedes do not
want him.
c. \. Hunt denounces the effort to
read him out of the fight by the declara-
ton that he wants to be assistant county
attorney. The office of county attorney
is the only one for which the convention
dominates and that is the Office he is
after, nothing else.
The Swedish candidate will probably
be n. P. Peterson,if he can get the place
of clerk of courts. Or Soderstrom may
