ms men, it is said. will raise the cry that
the convention i being run in The inter
ests OF Buckley and Rainey, and viii take
Their candidate into the Nom Partisan
camp in the hope of having him nominated
there.
Baley's fight is said t. be weak, and it
was predicted yesterday and last night
that the nomination for County Clerk
would 20 to Arthur E. Shattuck. who has
deveioped eonsiderabl, strength. SO il
seems that the County Clerk ana his depu-
Ties VIII have an 0ppt rtuniiy to belt il they
nave % elected.
McDade's denomination for Sheriff is hv
no means assured. Richard |. Whelan,
VINO ran as an independent candidate for
Sher II some years ago and received very
heaVy vote, NAV beat the Sheriff for the
place on the ticket this time, in spite Of the
cry which is being raised that he is
boiter. Supervisor Dundon, who wanted
TO be Sheriff, but gave up the hope, Is said
To be for McDade. After he found that
he could not get that nomination
Dundon declared himself out for the office
OF Public Administrator and promised
McDade that he would su pc him for
Sheriff If the latter would in return assist
him in his new aspirations. The compact
is said to have been made. 1t is also said
that McDade has made a similar arrange
ment with McGlynn, candidate for Re-
coTder. lie may have made other agree
ments Of this sort. but even if he has
Shattuck is considered 10 be a likely oppO-
nent.
Sands w. Forman was at the conven-
ton last night, but it was rumoreG thai
his aspirations for the nomination for
Assessor had been abandoned. "Dnc"
Bryan was also among the delegates, but
IL was being urged against him that he is a
chronic office-seeker aud has run for about
everything that has been in sight for the
past fifteen years: The same charge of
Dlace-huDtlng is brought against Scott. !.
ii. OBrien's fight looked well last night,
and many said that probably he would be
elected.
No change was observed in the Mayor
atty contest. Adolph SutrO was cnnsid-
cred possibility in spite of his utilization
with the Peoples party. AS between
DeBman and James the formers prospects
were considered to be the better.
For Tax Collector MIR. Block still has DO
opponent and he Will probably be nom-
mated. Broderick seems t. be sure OF
the nomination for Auditor and Judge
COnlan Is predicted for Police Judge.
Broderlck has The ThiIty-fourth District
solid.
The order Of business TO be adopted By
the convention lost some of the interest
which has attached to it during the past
two days. 1t had been said that Buckley
would select some office and have it nut al
the head of the list of the nominations in
order to make a test of strength. The
Supervisors were men toned in this con.
nection. as Buckley would rather have
them than anything else, but If Buckley
has fed that story falls to the ground, and
there would be little 10 accomplish by an
unusual arrangement Of the work with the
boss out of the field.
The convention viii probably not reach
nominations before tomorrow night.
This evening the committees on platform
and order Of business will be appointed
and they will require some time in which
to prepare their repOrts. They will, no
doubt, be ready by Wednesday night and
the important matter of platform for the
local Democracy out of the way the real
purposes Of the convention may be at
tended TO.
