egates and among the Scandinavians of
the Second ward, working up sentiment
for himself for treasurer. Mr.. Groom
quist may as we'll hang up the fiddle, so
far as the convention is conference.-the
die is cast and Jensen will be nomi-
nated-but he can make it very uncom-
Portable for Jensen at the polls.
Mr.. Freaney was feeling confident
last evening. He asserted that it would
be convention in which states would
not gO-that they would be as surely
smashed as they were made. He said
that while he did not count very large
vote on the first ballot. he felt
very certain that matters would
change about before long. Chapel,
he SAID. would go into the
convention with the largest vote, with
make up a slate, and was content to
stake his chances OIL the high character
and Intelligence of the men composing
the convention.
In Tne Bean Influence.
the at Chapel has been championed by
seer Ed Bean influence is no longer a
are ct. 1t is claimed that Beams friends
paying off score with Freaney.
They assert that Freaney openly
charged two years ago that Bean sold
out his party. 1t will be remembered
that Bean was the only one elected on
the Republican ticket two years ago,
and his majority was quite large.
Chapels friends claim that he will go
into the convention with over sixty
votes, and perhaps with enough TO nom-
mate hint requires eigntyfOur votes
to nominate. The slate people after
ward asserted that Chapel would GER
tainly have enough to nominate on the
first ballot.
John Harris was very confident last
evening of the nomination for sheriff.
He SAID he would go into the conven-
tiOn with over fifty votes, and felt sure
he would have little trouble in finding
enough people in need of the following
which he would be able to turn over to
them. He claims to have the Second
ward pledged to him, all the Third ward
except Lowenstein, who is pronounced
Freaney man; six delegates from the
Eighth ward, an equal number from the
Seventh ward, all the country delegates
and a share of the Ninth ward men.
But good many think John is count
ing without his host. George w. War
rem, of the Third ward. failed to elect
his delegates, and Harris SAYS that the
delegates who were elected, with the
exception of Lowenstein, have been
pledged to him long time.
Flower Out of 1t.
Gen. Flower, who is one of the Sew
enth ward delegates, says he will sup
port Chapel. Asked if he is himself
a candidate, he replied that he was
never a candidate, but said that he in
tended to do some work for his friends.
Markham is liable to become very
troublesome quantity in the convention,
even though all the delegates he wanted
were not elected. 1t was reported last
evening that the delegates whom
Chaplin was banking on had assured
Mr.. Markham that they were his
secure his nomination The real fact
Is, as stated by a delegate, the Seventh
ward delegates have agreed to support,
as between Markham, Chaplin and HOl-
comb, the one who develops the most
strength among outside delegates on
the first ballot.
The defeat of Leon Chamberlin's del
egates at the Sixth ward primary seems
to have etfectually shelyed that gentle
man.
When the convention today gets down
to business the first Office which will be
called up Will be that of auditor. Here
will be the test of the strength
of the slate. 1t will be square
fight between Keller and Weber. The
friends of Keller assert that he will
surprise Mr.. Weber. Weber is put up
to satisfy the Germans; but Keller hap
pens to be German on his fathers side.
Bell maintains that the Germans are
not willing to accept Keller as a Ger
man; and that they will not be con-
tent to put up with Kieter alone for
their share of the spoils; however. Mr..
Bell does not mention PaSSavaLt, whom
he has slated for the shelf. If Keller
secures the nomination, the slate will
require deal of repairing. Probably
Weber will endeavor to slip back into
the contest for register of deeds; but he
will be so badly damaged by this time
that he will stand little show. The man
in this event who Will become nervous
is Zollman; for the convention will be
10th to give two important offices to the
Second ward. The Seventh ward would
be very likely to work in one of its three
candidates for county attorney.
If Weber Pulls Through
as slated, then the fight for the attorney
ship will be interesting. Zollman, as
the indications were last night, would
get the nomination. Ii Weber pulls
through without accepting any assist
ance from Harris-Harris offered his
delegates to Weber last night for the
support in return of the entire Eighth
doubtful situation. The indications
were that Weber would prefer to join
teams with Chapel The Eighth ward
delegation being pledged to both Weber
and Freaney, places it in an awkward
position to be traded. and hampers both
candidates. AS to Zoilman. there was
strong feeling among Republicans
that, in point of ability, he was not fit
for attorney. Markham is looked upon
as being far the ablest man in the field.
If Zollman gets the nomination, he can
be easily defeated.
The defeat of Bourne's delegates in
the Sixth ward is looked upon as his
effectual oefeat for county auditor; and
it is being used to down Freaney, since
Bourne was clerk for Freaney. 1t
