The Democratic judicial convention
Of the Fourth judicial district Will he

pin Democratic league rooms at 10
o'clock. Four judges from this district
are to be nominated, and three of them
Will be the Democrats Endorsed by the
Pops yesterday. Who the fourth will
be Is question.
The annual meeting of the Hennepin
Democratic league will be held on the
evening of the l7lh inst. The club will
cut considerable figure In the campaign
this fall. 1t is composed of a lively set
OF Democrats.
Frederick B. Lathrop. who was ar
rested yesterday on the charge of hav-
Ing llbeled Aid. Flanders, of the Eighth
ward, maintains that he can prove every
charge he has preferred against the
alderman. If that prove true, Aid.
Flanders will wish he had left well
enough alone.
The Populists yesterday decided
there was no chance TO elect straight
Judicial ticket, so nominated three
Democrats. They could not have
selected three more popular men than
Messrs. Brooks, Munro and Davenport.
. They are capable of running like race
horses, and will do SO beyond doubt.
The Republican aldermanic conven-
tions will he held today. Who Will be
nominated? "Who, who?' That is the
sad, wlsttul refrain chanted by three
score and ten candidates, all OF whom
are confident of being the anointed
ra rfs,slt ~
aldermen 10 be nominated.
Joe ManniX is in the iire-strlcken dis
trict, and today the Republican city
convention is 10 he held. Who will
come III at the last hour with a bushel
or two of tickets marked "Eustis,"
Who will get around and hustle for the
dark horse?" The answers 10 these
questions may be found in the stars
Mayor Eustis has finally let the cat
out of the bag. He has not had enough
of public office. What q sly old dog he
is! At the outset he was firm as rock
In his determination not to run for the
Office again; then he began TO waver, to
wobble little as il were, and now he
has keeled over entirely. There is a
sweetness about the pap i'll the political
bottle which, once tasted, creates de-
sire, hankeripg after more. William
Henry wants TO get the teat in his
mouth again. He will accept a re-
nomination if it is rendered him."
Among the wealthy men of the city is
Mayor Eustis. His name. however,
cannot be found on the list of subscrib-
ers 10 the fire sufferers relief fund. He
has written great many proclamaIions
and appeals to the public. but he has
not subscribed any money, and it is
money the destitute people in Northern
Minnesota need. Why didn't the mayor
head the list with goodly sum. and not
allow the place of honor TO be uSurped
by brewing company?
The Streeter trial vii! come up again
this month. at least SO the county at

were in progress, we're Loren Fletcher.

moth loan institution came about Mr..
Fletcher owned ten shares of stock and
Mr.. Washburn the same number, These
two gentlemen managed in some way
to get rid of the greater part of their
stock before the crash came. All Of
which is no doubt business astuteness.

for The state senatorship against E. G.
Potter. The latter was all very well as

commission merchant, but it is ackuowl-
edged by most of those who know him
that he has no wind" and will drop
out of the race for the state capitol
before he reaches the half mile post.
The Republicans of the Fourth ward
are not satisfied with enc good candi.
date for the office of alderman. A few
OF them want John Watson and have
Endorsed him vigorously. Leaving Aid.
Loye out of the contest entirely, the
Republican leaders of the ward state
that c. B. Shove has the call aud will
be nominated without doubt.
Ihe famous silver statue. representing
Justice, which created such Juror at
the worlds fair, is TO be placed in S. Z.
Olson's establishment. 1t is respect
fully suggested that he place a Gordon
of police around his store during the
WISH OF the statue. 1he Republican
heelels of the Fourth ward are becom-
ing hungry and there is no telling what
they may attempt.
Aid. McAllister's photograph adorns
BARRIERS sign OH. Fourth street. The
photograph does not show his face. but
is full view of his noble head. Ii
stands as an advertisement for thu bar
Der. representing, as it does. certain
style of hair cut. The barber ought to
take 1t down. 1t will prove his hoodoo,
his ruin, if he persists in keeping 1t
there for weary pedestrians to gaze at.
A hair cut is hair cut, of course, but
ell heads are not alike, by any means.
The name of E. A. Taylor, at prese Mt

mentioned in connection with promo.

man in the Northwest, ana is one of the
most popular Elks III the city.
