The morning call., 1894-09-26

intention of Mr.. Burns in relation to the
choice Tor Mayor. l.. K. Ebert will be
nominated for that office in the hope OF
securing The Non-Partisan Endorsement,
aud in the fear of his running as an indie
pendent if the Republicans should choose
some other man.
There is some doubt as to whether John
d. Siebe will receive the nomin alton for
Assessor, and the colonel is in a Quandary
over the matter. If he Is not nominated
he will run any way. John ID. DAILY is
making a strong effort 10 be put on the
slate. and H. II. Lynch is doing the same
thing. Under such a fire Colonel Burns
has been unable TO make up his mind as to
what he will do.
George W. Elder claims to have the
nomin alton for Superintendent of Streets
already in his grasp. He says that he has
ninety votes pledged to bin, but then MIR.
Elder admits that Colonel Burns has not
yet decided the Office to him, and there are
in the race four others. James Gillersn,
who bolted from tie Burns organization
in the Thirtieth and carried away with
him such large faction that he compelled
the colonel 10 give him representation in
the convention, is one of Elders oppo-
nents, and another is E. G. Pierce, foreman
of the Overland Transfer Company and d
railroad man. The Elder men think that
Gilleran will have enough independent
strength to weaken Pierce and that there
is good chance to slip between the two,
always providing that the ninety votes
cling to him. In this contest there are
also Barney Tracey and Martin Flagley.
For Sheriff, John II. degler. William
Blattner, w. j. Ruddick and Matthew
Arnold are after the nomination, all of
them hanging or the ragged edge of hope.
because the boss has not yet announced
his decision.
A lot of doctors are lowering about the
colonel in the expectation of getting the
nomination for Coroner. There are nine
of them actively after the Office, namely:
DR.. F. w. Harris, DR.. n. S. Gberson, DR..
Soper. DR.. Gerdes, DIR. l.. c. Cox. DR.. Suth-
erland, DR.. Hawkins, DR.. Bunker aud DR..
Shanks. DIR. Cox was Non-PaItisan two
years ago. He tried TO get the nomin alton
this tims from the Democrats, and failing
to arouse interest in his behalf. now knocks
at the Republican door.
Louis Jacobs, who has the distinction of
having been the only slated candidate at
the State convention who was defeated, is
said to be on the cOlonefs list this time for
City Auditor. John Hoesch and Albert
Hyer are the other can didates.
The candidates for Superintendent of
Schools are The Incumbent. John SWEET,
c. S. Young and r. H. Webster.
Oscar Tolle, secretary of the Republican
Council, wants to be Tax Collector, and is
trying to persuade the colonel to give it to
him instead of j. j. Moran or G. Ii.
Wetien.
In the County Clerk fight there are S.
Schohen, w. r. Joost, Major Whitefeld
and F. R. Dantorth.
j. B. Allen and E. B. Reed are out for
Recorder.
w. S. Barnes is said TO be down for the
district attorneyship, with Charles q.
Jackson, Lyman l. Mowry and a P. Black
endeavoring to persuade the boss that
they should be given turn in that Office.
+. P. Bull and p. A. Bergerot are seeking
for the city ana county attorneyship.
Treasurer Widber has thus far no rival
aspirant for the office he now holds.
For School Directors, Supervisors and
Judges there are so many applicants that
Burns is confused over the array.
The prospect now is that the conveD ton
will not be able to get through its work
this week, 1t must finish by next Tues
day. as ON that day the certificates of
nominations must be placed on file in the
County Clerks Office.
The nominations for the Assembly and
the Senate will be made by the districts
next Monday.
