READY FOR THE SACRIFICE.
Democrats Who Are Willing to
Be HOnOred.
Judge Wallace Would Like to Succeed Mavor
sanderson-A Crop Of Candidates
for Other Offices.

Locally the Democrats are beginning to
discuss the question of candidates for
municipal Offices, and the most interesting
development of the last day or two is the
announcement that Judge Wallace will bs
candidate for the Mayoralty. Some liutle
talk Of Barry Baldwin has been indulged
In, but the candidacy of Wallace seems to
0vershadow all other aspirants.
The friends of the Judge say that it is q
fact that he is in the field, and they claim
that if he clings to his determination to
stand for the nomination he will have a
walkover. Because of his action in the
Grand Jury matter he is regarded by the
Democracy as the great enemy Of bosses and
b0sSism, and that is what they say is needed
at this time to erase the last veStige OF
BuckleyiSm.
Another fight of some little interest Is the
contest for the nomination for Sheriff; and
this promises to wax decidedly warm be-
fore the day OF the convention. Three
principal men are named for the place. and
each is working hard already to carry off
the plum, which is one of the best under
the city government Bob Wieland, the
wealthy brewer, James OBrien and Dick
Whalen are all out for the place, with its
snug little income of about SIS, 900 year,
and every man Of them is pulling and haul
Ing like Trojan to drag it his way. Tim
y BrIen. who was nominated by Buckley
two years ago, and who came very near vic
tory in spite OF the Republican tidal wave,
did have his eye on the place, but Tim had
been told, it is said, that his old affiliations
render 1T necessary for him to lay quiet for
a campaign or two, and If at the end Of
that time, he can demonstrate that
he has been a real good boy hs
may be given another show for his
white alley. The advice comes from
such source that Tim is inclined to heed
it, and he will probably attend to his prl-
Vate business for couple of years at least
Henry Scott. who was Judge Wallac1'S
elisor, is also talked OF. and lie may slip in.
but it looks just now as If the odds were
against him.
Three candidates are being discussed for
Superintendent OF streets They are L. j.
Weleh. William Ackerson and Thomas As sh-
worth. The friends of the latter say, how
ever, that lie is not an aspirant, and that the
fight is between Ackerson and Welch, with
the chances largely in the latter's favor.
Welch is man of undoubed popularity,
with an exceptionally clean record as an
official. and was one of the first to identify
himself with the plan TO reorgauiZe the party
after the overthrow of Buckley.
The fight for County Clerk is also begin
ming TO look up and several names are
being talked OF. One is James z. Slevin,
newspaper man, and the others are R. p.
DOolan and w. Fl. Gagan. The latter was
also newspaper man for several years. and
is a warm personal friend of Judge Snlli-
van. 1t is too early yet to make any pre-
dictions as to the outcome. but the contest
is likely to be pretty one.
Candidates for the other Offices are not so
variOusly discussed. and there is food of
ambitious gentlemen who want to serve as
Supervisors. They range all the way from
Tommy Chandler to Henry Bingham and
Colin NJ. Boyd, and include such men as
Snnds w. FOrman and l.. Y. Merle. Nearly
every man, in fact, who took part in reor-
ganizlng the party is anxious to legislate for
the city.
