BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT,
But Democratic Success Most
Probable.

1.fODdDIc.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 5.-There is
every reason to believe that John Jens-
Wold, the Democratic candidate, will be
electe mayor of Duluth OH Tuesday.
Ihe statement is not made on prejudice,
but from a consensus of opinions of
Democrats and Republicans. Both par
lies ostenSibly claim the victory, as is
always the case. but one of Lewis
straight supporters, member of the
Republican machine, admitted to your
correspondent tonight that though he
hoped for Lewis election by 500, he
would not be surprised to see Jenswold
win. This he attributed to the effective
campaign work done by the Democrats
today.
A Democrat who has chiefly directed
the campaign said that. while big ma
jorities were out of the question, he felt
certain of Jenswold's election by 500
majority. He would concede no less
than that. Still, the majority may be
matter of 100 or 200. But the weakening
of Republican assumption points to
tangible reason for loss in confidence
Republicans concede the Second and
Fourth and possibly the Eighth wards
ON aldermen. while the Democrats claim
all but the First ward. Some of these
claims are made qualifedly. but ten
aldermen are claimed positively. These
are Wilson. and probably Graft, in the
Second; Foote, and probably Spangler.
in the Third: Schiesser and Osborne In
Fourth, Flynn in the Fifth, Liden in
Sixth. johnson and Mathews in Seventh,
and Burnside and Peterson in Eighth.

Good Democrats Chosen.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Some signif-
cance has been attached to the nomina-
tions of Gen. Joseph o. Shelby and
John R. Waller. which were sent to the
senate by the president today. Gen.
Shelby was chosen for marshal of the
Western district of Missouri, and Mr..
Waller for attorney for the same dis
trict. Shelby was Confederate general
during the civil war, Senator Vest sery-
ing under him, and after its close went
to Mexico and offered his services to
that country in it's war with France.
Mr.. Waller is practicing attorney in
Missouri and married a sister of Senator
Cockrel's wife, who died few weeks
ago. He was indorsed especially by
Representative Bland. Both men are
Democrats of long standing, and entirely
accountable to the Missouri senator's
