There could be no more horrible and dis,

magnificent race if placed at the
head Of the ticket
So will William c. Seipp.
Charles II. Wacller is still every

Hon. John A. King continues to
gain strength, and may surprise his
enemies at the close.

Mr.. John A. Kings name is meet
ing with hearty support all over the
city. His long career as an upright
business man and his sterling quail
ties as a Democrat endear him to the
Democratic workers. If he is nomi-
mated he will win by at least 1000
majority.

No name is greeted with greater
enthusiasm in connection with the
Mayoralty than that of Mr. Charles
II. Wacker Mr.. Wacker was born
in Chicago, and is greatly be owed by
the German-American element, from
which he sprung and with which he
has always been so closely and prom
iuently Identified. Mr.. Wacker would
be triumphantly elected if nomi-
mated Every leading business
man would be an ardent supporter Of
his. Mr. Wacker is a director in at
least a dozen great enterprises, in
Guiding two banks, the Worlds Fair,
and great manufacturing industry
His name has been upon ten thousand
lips for over a week, and if nomi-
mated he would make a magnificent
race. Over two hundred German Re
publcans, who were interviewed in
regard to his candidacy, said that
they would vote for him if on the
ballot.

As the date Of the Democratic and
Republican conventions approaches,
