CANDIDATES FOR LEGISLATIVE
DONORS KEEP TURNING Up.

Col. j. l. whatleys Friends Pushing
Him for the Race-Capt Purse Says
He VIII Not Rum. Randolph An.
dersou, Esq, Talked Of-The Friends
of the Announced Candidates Hard
at WorS-An Sorts OF Combinations
In Progress.
Interest continues to be added TO the
political situation by the almost daily ad-
vent of some new candidate for Legislative We
honors. The candidate Is not always put
forward Of his own motion, but frequently
by enthusiastic friends. and consequently
allow their names 70 be used.
Col J. L. Whatley is the latest and most
imposing addition to the list. Col. What
ley has been solicited for some time by
friends to allow his name to be used, but
has never given his consent, and It is an
nounced now without his permission. II is
said that while he would NOT object to rep
resenting the county III the legislature, he
does not care to enter into contest for the
place, and for that reason his name will
most probably be withdrawn. His friends
said yesterday that he would not make the
race. However, il he is assured Of sufficient
support to make his nomination reasonably
certain without personal exertion upon his
part IL is possible that he may allow his
name to be used.
CAPT. PURSE NOT IN IT.
Capt D. G. Purse says that he IL not IN
the race for any Office in the gift Of the peo-
pie. His hands are too full of his own bust
ness to allow the thought of it, he says:
"Whenever ! get into any official position
- id ba safd at aluaua nd lnk
of work that somebody ought to do. and it
usually falls to my lot TO do it. would
not be able to spare the time from my
business even il had any ambition In that
direction, which have not"
1t was announced yesterday that Mr. J.
Randolph Anderson would be put forward
by his friends as q candidate, subject to the
democratic nomination. Whether the re-
port will be verified 10 not yet certain, Mr..
Anderson has developed considerable in
fuence In local politics and mas strong
friends who would be able to bring him a
great deal of strength. In case OF his cleo
zion it Ia said he would favor his friend,
George W. Owens. Esq, for the solicitor
ship.
The young,men are coming to the front
this year and Mr.. Anderson's claims are
equal to any Of those whose names have
been offered.
TALK OF A GERMAN CANDIDATE.
There may be German candidate in the
field. 1t was said yesterday that the friends
OF Martin Schroeder would offer his name
for the consideration of the primaries.
They think 1t about time that one
OF their number was honored with seat IN
the legislature and that Mr.. Schroeder is
the man for the place. These are all the
new names. The cropis young, however,
and fresh lot my spring up before the end
of the week.
The friends Of the candidates already an
pounced are busy making combinations
that will secure the largest amount
of strength in their opinion for
their respective candidates. States are being
made which are certain to be broken and
new ones made before the arrival OF the
primary. 1t was said yesterday on bay
street that a combination had been formed
by the friends of Osborne, Ryal5 and
Doolan. Others said the ticket would read
Ryels, Doolan and Schley, while some
favored a young ticket entirely and ans
nounced in favor of Schley, Osborne and
Doolan. MIR. Bernhardt, it is claimed, will
poll large vote among the workingmen.
