Creeping Out.

The success of the Republicans at
last springs election has stirred up an
itching for office among them such as
they have not perienced- since war
times. and they will indulge in none of
their pretty sentiments about letting
the office seek the man until after the
nominees of today's convention are laid
deep in their little graves under Demo
cratic auspices on the Sth day of No
vember. In fact, they have experienced
such an awakening that the party is
like the military company that had so
many officers in it that they had no rank
and file to command-there are so many
candidates for Office that there is no
rank and file to vote for them. There
are so many of them that they have
been very much In each others way
long time, and each has been taxing his
ingenuity to the utmost to shelve all his
opponents.
1t has all along until very recently
been the popular impression that the
ticket would be this: Auditor. G. E.
Keller: county attorney, J. ID. Markham;
register of deeds. NJ. j. Bell; probate
Judge, Samuel Morrison; sheriff, w. j.
Freaney; treasurer, Matt Jensen; alb
stracU clerk, Charles PaSSavant. The
other candidates in the field became
painfully alive to the fact that some
thing must be done, and they have been
exceedingly busy; so much so that last
evening it looked very much as though
Freaney and Markham were laid out

candidacy for the position of auditor,

date for auditor instead of for register
of deeds. 1.-The slate as fixed is about
this:
Auditor, Henry Weber; attorney,
Zollman; probate Judge, Morrison; reg
lister of deeds, Bell; sheriff, Chapel;
treasurer, Jensen; abstract clerk, E. w.
BaZille.
This slate, it will be observed, gives
fine locality, and also nationality, dis
tribution. For instance, Weber is
German and Bazile Frenchman, while
among the rest. who are called Ameri-
cans,is good sprinkllug of Irish blood in
their veins; and as to the locality,
Weber lives in the Eighth ward, Zoll-
Bell in the Sixth, Chapel in the Fourth,
Jensen in the First and Bazille in the
Fourth. OF course the slate is subject
to some notifications, as, for instance,
it may be found advisable to place Doty
on for probate judge, since he has the
nomination of the Peoples party
citizens committee, and will also be
nominated by the Prohibitionists; and
it is barely possible that Harris will be
put on in place of Chapel; but this is
highly improbable, as it would not do
to lose the thunder which the old
soldier idea will produce.
