Must Be Endorsed.

IL In Intmated that Col. Wright him
self feels the force of this fact, and will
not run unless he receives the unequlv-
Ocal Endorsement Of q regular Republi-
can convention, and II is extremely
doubtful II Mr. Dreis Will run unless he
is given the nomination by the Demo
Gratis. He is a reputable and reliable
Democrat, and not given to running of
on a tangent, no matter how much vain
glorious and fulsome praise is heaped
upon him by the Republican organs.
lie knows full well That if he is nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention
that these same papers will 'shift the
cut" and he would be the recipient
Of vile abuse. If he does not realize
this, his friends do and it must be CON
tessed that they are legion. 1t is not
likely, either, that they viii sit silently
by and permit Mr.. Davis to commit
political suicide by training with the
Republicans to defeat Democrats.
The candidates on the citizens ticket
have no hope of an election in any posi-
Die contingency without the endorse
ment of the Republicans, and there is
little Likelihood that they will qualify
under the provisions of the Australian
law, and pay their fees for getting their
names printed on the tickets, with the
simple nomination of the political cabal.
1T would be throwing away just that
much money, TO say nothing of the
usual assessments made against can
didate to lubrcate the party machinery
and meet the expenses Of the central
committee.
An Endorsement in Sight.
Col Kiefer feels deeply slighted be-
cause of the selection OF Col. Wright
over himself. 1t is now pretty generally
reported that Col. Kiefer had been
building hopes on securing the little
prestige that such nomination affords.
lie Is evidently a believer in the mys-
ties and cabals even in politics. Then
the claim that he was no longer seeking
the Republican nomination. owing 10
his recent bereavement, was all Il myth.
Certainly, he would not accept the for
mer without the latter and there you
have it. Henry Johns. Darius Reese,
and the residue of the kid" element
have been rounding up the city the past
two days and have become satisfied
that it is the intention OF the Repub-
licaus TO take the Independents
whole ticket at one gulp, or else
let all nominations go by default.
Whether it is tine intention of the Re
phblicans to take a positive position in
the campaign or to remain negative will
soon develop. But although no def
mite action is being taken concerning
set of candidates, the ring leaders are
doing lots of quiet hustling. They are
copying the old poll lists and making a
canvass to ascertain the residence of eY-
cry available Republican or disgruntled
Democrat, TO the end that their names
be enrolled on the poll lists. Tuesday
will be the second registration day, and
mighty attempt will be made to get
all the registrations possible. And
right here it should be urged upon ev-
cry Democrat the necessity of register
Ing. Not name can be copied from
the old poll list, and no one can be reg
istered without making personal APP
pearance. The registration books will
be open from a. m. until 8 O'clock in
the evening to receive the names of
legal voters.
