P. Johnson for state treasurer, and Mr..
LIE VAGUE for state auditor-but they

yesterday by prominent Republican
FROM the Zenith City.
Hours before the time set for the
meeting of the state committee the
Hobbies Of the Windsor were Gro VIDE d
with Republican politicians. including
several of the candidates for state
offices.
Bob Dunn. however. was not there.
There was an air about the assembiage
that seemed to say: bob Dunn is not
in 1.-THE Pillsbury opposition has
killed him Off" Lemuel P. Hunt was
there, though. He was all smiles, and
there was something about him that
said, II am the slated one." s. G. liver
son and w. T. Rich were also there, act
ing as though they thought they were
Sin it,
A. T. Koerner and Sheriff Block were
both there. and were the only ones
present of the army of candidates for
state treasurer. They were both wear
ing their most attractive countenances
and making themselves convenient to
the ears of every Republican present.
Each was friendly to the other, and
seemed to say. Il am sorry for you, but
you can't blame me for taking the first
call on the slate"
Oar Reese, Monroe Nichols and A. G.
Pigeon, of the regiment of candidates
Tor clerk OF supreme court, were there.
Each seemed to be making a still hunt.
Oar Reese especially wore the most
amiable face In the list of his personal
possessions. He sat quietly in the
meeting, and expressed in his modest
gaze at this and that person, II am the
incest, most able and deserving fellow
that ever made stump speech or voted
the Republican ticket. You can't get
along without me-" But while bar was
playing this card. the other two fellows
were playing cards of their own.
Capt. Osborn was there. But when
did he ever fail to be there? Rev. MIR.
Wahiund was also there, and said as
plainly as anything can be expressed by
countenance. "a little piety will be
useful to the Republican party" His
counteuance is not SO familiar at Re.
publican meetings of politicians as Mr..
Orborn's.
