to him. The majority of the Republic
ans feel that Bell has had as much from
the party as he is entitled 10.

Tile party as lie is entitled 10.
George Warren has especial reasons to
feel aggrieved over this change of front
of Henry Weber. His slate was:
Keller for auditor: Markham for at
tOrney; Weber for register of deeds;
Jensen for treasurer; Morrison for pro-
bate judge; himself for sheriff; and
PaSSavant for abstract clerk.
He considered that a strong ticket;
and SO thought many other Republicans.
And MIR. Warren was not altogether
selfish about it: he was prepared to join
hands with Freaney. and if the latter
developed more strength than he for
sheriff why he would step out. Mr..
Weber's change of front has burst that
slate. And it is. very likely that MIR.
Weber knew what he was doing when
he made the change. He would not de
llbrrately step off strong ticket like
this unless he were lettering himself.
The fact was he would gain more from
Towards strength than he would lose
by leaving the other slate.
Mr.. Warren is very sorely dIsappoint-
ed. for he felt that he had punched the
German strength so as to draw diSas-
trousiy from the support of Miesen on
the Democratic ticket; in fact, he fiat
which would bring the whole German
vote into the Republican camp. But
Howard has the support of Gov. Mer-
ram, and he was one of the mainStayS
OF last springs movement. These things
stuck In the craw of Mr.. Weber, and he
knows now that he will come off four
time winner. 1t is not improbable that
Mr.. Bell went home last night feeling
that Henry Weber's staength was going
to his support: but ne may find differ
emily today.
Who will be chosen chairman of the
convention is mixed matter. Schoon-
maker would, of course, like to be chair
man: and he has lately developed so
much strength in the Seventh ward that
his chances are fair. They would be
very good were it not fot the fact that
there is Republican element on the
Hill who would like to crush him. They
are great deal more anxious to do so
now than ever; for, unless he is shelved
very quickly, he will be strong enough
to shelVe some of them.
A strong effort will be made to give
the chairmanShip to the Fifth ward, and
II that ward presents the name of E. A.
Jaggard to- the convention his chance
OF being elected will be very good.
1t is not impossible that the First
ward, in view Of its Republican
strength, will ask the privilege of NAM
ing chairman. And then Tom Howard
may want to name the chairman. and he
may be accorded that privilege.
Markham was all at sea last night.
He could hardly believe that the pins
were set up for the nomination of zoll-
man; but the cold fact stared him in
the face. A prominent Republican re-
marked in Mr.. Markham's presence
that he had the positive assurance from
Zoilman that he was all along perfectly
willing to accept second place in the Of
ice of county attorney; but that his
friends had forced him to come out and
demand first place. There was a sar-
castle curl on Mr.. Markham's lip which
seemed to say: II wouldn't have him
around: he could not fill second place
In the office; he doesn't know enough
The friends of Charlie Keller last
evening expressed the utmost confidence
IN his success. They said he had
enough delegates pledged to nominate
him Oh the first ballot. Or if he had
not he would get so near the nomin-
alton that it would come on the second
ballot. They would force Zollman'S
friends to make an open fight on Keller;
1Or IL keilef Is nominated 1t means the
defeat OF Zollman. Zollman made no
secret yesterday afternoon of his hos
tllities to the candidacy of Keller.
1t is very likely the relations between
Freaney and Weber will be considerably
strained when they walk into the con-
vention this forenoon. But they are
bound together like Siamese twins,
their delegation of the Eighth ward be-
ing instructed for both Of them.
What will Stanford Newell do today?
He must feel very chilly if he ventures
inside the convention hall. His people
will not be very numerous there, and
those who are there will have little to do
but vote with the majority, or on the
other side. His nose for political point
ers has not deserted him, but his polit-
ical wand has.
George Warren was not at all dis
couraged over the loss of his delegation
in the Third ward; but that Tom How
ard deal is breaking his heart. He
would give more for good live German
to take Henry Weber's place on his slate
than he would for gold mine.
