POLITICAL GOSSIP.


Henry George will arrive in the city
this morning. and tonight will speak
at the Exposition auditorium. Other
speakers who will be present include
Gen. Becker, o. L. Erickson and l.. Il.
Than.
Bernard Newman has at last sue
ceeded IN being declared the Populist
nominee for alderman of the Fourth
ward. Exactly how much support he
will be accorded by the diSgruntled
Pops is difficult to determine. They
must, however. remember one thing.
and that is, he will prove valuable
factor in the campaign, for he owns u
saloon and can supply the beer.
The Ninth ward Democrats held a
meeting last night at RuShford'S hall.
The speakers were F. ID. Larrabee, o.
Il. Erickson, Max Robb. +. q. Mcmillan,

for re election, and will no doubt secure
the plum in spite of the independent
candidates and the Republicans.
The newly appointed judges and
clerks of election will meet tonight in
Harmonic hall to listen 10 instructions
In the workings of the Winston election
law City Clerk Haney will give the
Instructions.
The Prohibitiouists have an idea they
can carry the Seventh ward. The dis
graceful fight between Aid. Woodward
and Mir. Colburn over the nomination
for alderman has placed the ward in
peculiar position. 1t is maintained that
the gentlemen just mentioned Will kill
each others chances. and then some
candidate from the outside may go i'll
and win. The ProhibitioniSts will make
q house TO house canvass of the ward.
The Sixth ward Democrats will have
headquarters second 10 none in the city.
They are being put in shape at the
present time and will be opened to the
public some day next week. The lOca.
ton is central, being Washington and
Cedar avenues.
Mr.. Trussell will not he dropped. but
will continue as secretary or the Repub-
lican campaign committee. This was
decided upon yesterday, when the cam
paign committee held a meeting and
adopted resolutions in reference to the
Seventh ward tangle. 1t was held that
his error in the matter of the election
judge list was an error of judgment
only. The truth of the matter is that
the committee discovered they could
not get along without Trussel's mystic
robustness.
The Republicans concede that one of
the hardest men to elect on the county
ticket is John Holmberg, who is the
nominee for sheriff. Every day it is
demonstrated that Holmberg Is the
weakest candidate the Republicans
could have selected, and that AlonZo
Phillips will have practically walk.
away. \ canvass of the laboring men
of this city has been made, with the
result that HOlnberg is very much in
the minority. They have not forgotten
his record as an exponent Of non-unioD
labor.
c. +. Baxter, the Democratic NOM
ilee for municipal judge, denies the
statements in certain of the yesterday
morning papers that he made deal
with Hewitt whereby the latter was 10

The Third Ward Tammanv club is

with the mass of voters in the city. The
club is composed of men who claim to
be Democrats, and yet they are acting
in manner that makes such claim
practically valueleSs. They have boiled

men who set themselves up as leaders,

nominee for the senate in the Twenty

will be the disruption of the entire club.
1t has been given out that the club is

the men who made the announcement
had an Interior motive in making it.
Inc independent RepuDllcanS or the
Fourth ward are making vigorous

brother-in-law of Bob McMullen."
Mr.. Whitcomb. the Democratic mons
inee, is gaining in favor with the voters
of the ward every day. His friends are
doing yeOman service in his behalf, and
it looks favorable for a Democratic
alderman from the Fourth this fall.
The county committee is doing ex.
cellent work IN the line of organization.
aDd it is safe TO say the various county
candidates will have their interests
looked after in fine shape. Chairman
Conroy and Secretary Whelan are prov
ing themselves the very best men for
their respective positions, and it is pre-
dicted they will wind up the campaign
with an enviable record.
