ticket that will be nominated by the
Democrats will be strong one, for the
record OF the party on that point two
years ago is an all-sufficient answer.
The Democrats of st. Paul will nomi-
nate no man they do not propose to
elect. AS to the ticket that will be
.Named, well-informed Democrat who
lHnas talked the situation over with many
of his fellow Democrats thinks that it
will read about as follows:
Mayor-Robert \. Smith.
COmptrOller-Swan POnthan.
Treasurer-Wiliam Banholzer.
AssEMBLYMEN.
L. E. Reed.
William A Van Slyke,
j. j. McCafferty,
James Melady,
Ansel Oppenheim.
W. P. Murray,
l.. l.. May,
Charles Ehrmantraut
John j. Corcoran.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
First Ward-J G. Elmquist.
Second-F. w. Bott.
Third-P. Conley.
FOURTH. G. Donnelly.
Fffth-C. Dorniden.
Sixth-Robert Hare.
Seventh-Indorse a good Republican.
Eighth-Henry Gerkin.
Ninth-John F. Gehan.
Tenth-L. j. Dooner
Eleventh-John G. Hinkel.
Of course there are other names men,
toned for many of these offices, but the
drift at present seems to be in favor OF
ticket that will read about as given
above. The denomination of Mayor
Smith is assured, and, while several
gentlemen are in the field for the nomi-
nation for comptroller, MIR. Ponthan is
clearly in the lead. M. S. PrendergaSt
q
mentioned, but Mr.. Battley is the only
one of the two to announce his candi-
dacy. For the nomination of city treas
urer Assembiyman Banholzer is the
favOrite at present. although he has a
number of popular and well known
opponents, among whom is 2. j. Dreis,
the Fourth ward druggist. The name
of Park Commissioner Aberle has been
mentioned. but he is positively not
candidate. His own words, when asked
in regard to this matter. were,
II am candidate for no Office and 1
would not accept nomination for any office
if my election were assured. My business
demands all my time and attention"
The gentlemen who are proposed for
the nominations for the assembly are
among the best and most prominent citi-
Zens of st. Paul. From the Second
ward Hon. l.. E. Reed will probably be
chosen, the Third will contributesW. A.
Van Slyke. Judge McCafferty will rep
| resent the Fourth, Aid. Melady the
Sixth, Ansel Oppenheim and w. p.
| Eighth, and John j. COrcOran the Mid
way district. The name of M. Mullane.
| the well-known First ward leader, has
| been mentioned for the assembly, but MIR.
| Mullane does not favor the proposition
| and declares that he will not accept the
honor. Aid. Meiady may prefer to keep
| his present seat in the board of alder
| men. in which event some other popular
Sixth ward Democrat will be placed on
the ticket. Hon. John W. Willis has
| been proposed in place of Mr.. Murray,
and may be found OH the ticket. L. L.
| May, the well-knOwn florist, is conceded
a place on the ticket, and will
prove a very strong candidate, as
| will also J. j. Corcoran, of the Eleventh
| ward. Messrs. Corcoran and May are
both officers of the new Commercial
club. and their nominations will un-
| doubtedly be appreciated by that Or
ganiZation. Both are active and push
ing men, and if elected, as they will be
without doubt, they will be in posi-
| tons where they can do great deal of
| good for the city.
For the board of aldermen the Demo-
Gratis will also put forward strong and
popular men in every ward. In the
First ward Assemblyman Elmquist has
clear field so far, and his election will
follow. as matter of coure. Some of
the Republican organs have been try
ing to persuade their readers that Mr..
ElmquiSt will decline the Democratic
nomination, but this is incorrect. Mr..
ElmQuist, like many others who were
formerly Republicans, has seen the
error of his ways and will hereafter
train with the Democrats. He has
grown tired of the party of protection
and ''billion-dollar congresses"
In the Second and Third wards Aid.
Bott and Conley will be renominated
without opposition, and, while the Re-
publlcanS may oppose them at the polls,
their election will follow beyond
doubt. Both of these gentlemen have
been among the most faithful servants
of the city during their terms in the city
council, and they deserve the indorse-
ment which a reelection will give.
In the Fourth ward, if Aid. Cullen is
candidate, there will probably be no
opposition to him, but on the theory
that he will not seek denomination the
leaders are casting about for strong
Democrat to take his place. Among
those who have been mentioned so far
is y. VI. D0nnelly, OF the hrm OF Nc
Carthy 81 Donnelly. Mr.. Donnelly is an
old resident of the ward and is con-
versant with its needs, and will make a
winning race if given the nomination.
In the Fifth ward Aid. c. Dorniden
and in the Sixth Robert Hare seem to
be in the lead. The nomination of Mr..
Dorniden is assured, while that of Mr..
Hare will depend upon whether or not
Aid. Melady desires to become a men,
Der of the assembly. In the Seventh
ward good man presented by the Re-
publicans will be likelT TO receive an in
dorSement.
Aid. Henry Bielenberg, who has rep
resented the Eighth ward so acceptabiy
in the board of aldermen during the
past two years. will not seek renom-
ination on account of his business mat
tiers, which, he states. will not permit
him to look after the duties of the office
as he would like to do. His place on
the ticket will be taken by Henry Ger
kin, the well known boot and shoe man
of University avenue. Mr.. Gerkin is
an old resident of the Eighth ward, and
will be able to do great deal for the
ward. His election Will be one of the
sure things of the campaign.
Aid. John f. Gehan and Aid. l.. C.
Dobner will be renominated in the
