Suiicu last might. IIelc was q ESASi"i
turnout. and at today's convention the
city will see remarkably fine set OF
delegates. While, Of course, it is i'm
possible to state what the convention
will do in the matter of the mayOralty
nomination. the indications last night
were that eX-COunty Attorney Than
will be the selection. A number Of the
delegates stated that they were for T. b.
Winston for first choice. but that gen
tleman has given it out that he will not
accept the nomination under any cir
cumstances. He stated as much to the
delegates last night IN the rooms of the
Democratic league, New York Life
building. For the most part the dele
gates have no instructions, lnaSmuch as
a candidate for the nomination is and
has been matter of conjecture. AL w.
Paris has great many friends, and
there is no doubt but he will make
strong run in the convention.
Aside flOm the sentiment favOring
Mr.. Winston, Mr.. Than appears to have
the call. and it was stated last night at
the league rooms, where the returns
were brought in, that he unquestiOn-
ably would be the nominee. He said to
a GLOBE reporter that he had not been
working for the nomination.
"Of course the nomination, it 1t comes
to me. will be acceptable" he said.
"Even though secure but one vote in
the convention, will remain in the fight
until the end. am of the opinion that
the Democrats will carry the day, and
so far as | am concerned will help to
make victory even though l am not
nominated"
His friends are very Sanguine. They
declare that while he will not be nomi-
mated on the first ballot, ultimate sue
cess will be his. That he is the right
man for the place there is no doubt.
The dozen or more candidates men,
toned for the nomination will not be
heard of in the convention to any great
extent. B. F. Nelson, it is likely. will
receive great many votes. but he. has
stated emphaticaliy that he cannot even
consider the nomination. If he adhereS
to the determination nothing more will
be done SO far as his candidacy is con-
cerned. The convention will be called
to order at IL O'Clock, in NOrmanna hall.
The matter of chairman has not been
decided upon, but it was stated last
night that it was likely F. q. Winston
would be appointed. The aldermanic
convention will be held in the various
wards, each being called for 9 o'clock.
a separate set OF delegates were elected
to the two conventions so there will be
no waiting or unmuSical SQuabbling
over the matter of credentials.
The delegates last night were not in
Strnctp6 fnr either
troller. but the sentiment of them all
was in favor of j. Z. ScaIlen for treas
urer, and either j. j. Ankeny or Scion
Armstrong for comptroller. Mr.. Ankeny
Is at the present time assistant treasurer
and Mr.. Armstrong officiated as comp
troller previous to the election of Wal
lace e. Nye by the Republicans.
For judge of the municipal court
there are three candidates. John Ii.
Nickells, c. K. Cameron and Charles f.
Baxter. Nickells appeared to have the
secure the nomination. Mr.. Baxter,
however, showed up with quite mum.
Der of delegates. For special Judge the
candidates are r. l.. Penny. Elijah
Barton and Henry S. Mead. So far as
The primaries were concerned, no in
structiOns were given out. There will
be lively fight, however. for choice.
Among the Aldermen.
The aldermanic delegates were thick
er than feaS. The First ward went
unanimous for Jacob Foell. In the
Second ward the name of Fred Salisbury
was mentioned. The Third ward bobbed
up with seven candidates and each had
his delegates. Tammany came in with
eighteen delegates, and TO man they
will favor the domination of Joseph
Aah 81,
candidate.
The Fourth ward is for M. Whitcomb,
and it Is thought he will be nominated
by reclamation. Otto Miller stated that
he and several others were willing to
become candidates, for it is anything to
beat Aid. L0ye. In the Fifth ward
Tom Gallagher had tickets out.
DR.. Gibson was also mentioned.
The Sixth ward is strong for
the present incumbent, Aid. Rand.
III the Seventh ward peculiar state of
affairs developed. The majority of the
ward went for Aid. Woodward, the Re-
publican. VINO has come out to run on
an independent ticket. The delegates
WHO were instructed for Aid. Woodward
declare they will place HIN in nomina-
ton at the convention this morning.
In the Eighth ward, Ed w. Murphy
was mentioned as the man to be nomi-
mated this morning. In the Ninth, the
present incumbent, Aid. John Mcclure,
carried off the plum, and in the Tenth,
Aid. Fred Schwartz will be renominat.
ed. Ak. Lackey has a number of
candidates to fight in the Eleventh
ward, and the outcome of the conven-
ton is predetermined. The same cOndi-
tons exist in the Twelfth ward, where
there are twelve candidates. The
gentlemen at present represp ntinp tho
ward, Messrs. Rollins and Peterson, are
out for denomination, but the residents
OF the ward have conceived the idea
that so much money can he made in the
council that they will all run for the
| nominations.
