and one which will commend itself to
the support of every fee and untrammeled
voter who has the business in
terests of the county at heart, and is willing
to sink party preferences under the more
patriotic sentiment which prefers honest and
capable men in offices of public trust. And it
is not likely to be a day of that kind.
At this writing it looks very much as
though the ticket makers who will come here
as representative Republicans to nominate
are not losing sight of the main chances and
the outcome of the convention will be such
list of good men for the various offices to be
filled by election next November over which
the citizens irrespective Of party can en-.

WILL THERE BE A WHOLE TICKET2
Perhaps the hardest nut to crack is that
which has for its kernel the policy of leaving
certain offices open, thereby endorsing the
nominees for those offices named by the
Democrats two weeks ago. The prevailing
opinion here seems to be that it would be
folly TO hold convention and not nominate
a whole ticket. The Governor spurned the
demands of the Republicans for minority
representation on the bench when he APP
pointed Judge Weidman, a Democrat to take
Judge Green's place and there never was
time when Judge Green was candidate but
that a Democratic nominee was in the field to
oppose him. Why the Republicans should
always play into the hands Of their oppo-
nents is something that passeth all under
standing in view of past experiences. So say
the advocates of whole ticket. On the
other hand it is argued that this is good
year to use a little fnesse. By leaving the
iuigeship uncontested and naming excep-
tionable candidates for the other offices the
minority party will stand chance Of getting
a couple of good row Offices because many
Democrats are dissatisfied with part of their
party ticket, especially Clerk of the Courts,
Controller, and Director of the Poor and
they are supposed to be anxious to display
this dissatisfaction by voting for the Repub-
lican nominees Besides if the Judge con-
test is eliminated from the campaign, and
Judge Weidman is allowed to have walk
over, his immediate friends who would have
otherwise put in much labor and money to
secure his election, will not be elements to
command of the Republicans can be used to
kill off the exceptionable candidates on the
other side.
Here you have the arguments of both sides
of the question which will be used by the
advocates of each to advance their respec-
tive claims. do not pretend to indicate
which side will win.
THE FIRST CONTROLLER
If Charles N. McGinnes, teller of the Safe
Deposit Bank, is willing to have the honor
and the position thrust upon him the Repub-
lican convention will nominate him for Con-
troller, and that body will be distinguished
for its good sense and wise judgment in meet
ing the demands of the Controller Act, the
requirements of the office and the wishes of
the people. AS iDtimated in my last letter,
movement is now made "by business men to
beat Mulholland on business principles with
business methods" 1t has now taken shape
in the office seeking the man and not the man
the office and that man is Charles N. McGin.

to perform the arduous and intricate duties of
the position; one who is fearless,
one who can say no with the same frmness
as he can say Good morning" :" and ono who
will not be dominated over by any man OF set
of men. He is by education and business
training the man who is needed to organize
the Controllers office and when it becomes
to be in full operation he is the very man to
conduct it, Ifnominated ON Monday he will
be elected by a tremendous majority and will
be reelected as many times as he chooses to
run. This is the important office that the
Democrats threw away by listening to sena.

sacrificed his friend Muldoon to put his friend
Mulholland in position to be also sacrificed

NOMINEES FOR COMMISSIONERS.
The indications are that Frank Rentz, OF
Ashland, and Ezra ], Haak, of Pinegrove,
will be the nominees for Commissioner on the
ticket, and the one who receives the highest
number of votes will be the minority Commits.
