POLITICAL ASPIRANTS.
Persons Alleged to Entertain
Hopes for State and
County Plums.

If the number of aspirants for political
honors be taken as criterion, both the re-
publicans and democrats seem confident of
success. Although the state is generally
| conceded to be republican and nomination
on their state ticket is equivalent to an cleo
ton, there is nothing to indicate that the
democratic nominating convention will be
compelled to go begging for material with
which to fill up their ticket. Cautious DEM
ocrats, however, see plainly that the repub
lican state ticket will have walk over, and
they do not feel justified in making any
| strife to secure a nomination, while some of
those unsophlstcated in political affairs and
others who presume entirely too much on
their individual popularity are red hot for a
place. and if successful, will be ignorant
enough to suppose that they can be elected.
was never better. The party is becoming
we'll organized; its members are enthusias-
| tic and all are confident of success. Flu
sion of the democrats and populists is the
only thing we need to fear. There is little
danger of that, as the pops do not favor it,
feeling confident of success without putting
up any combinations. The democrats, how.
ever, are eager for the consummation of
such deal, as this is the only plan that
can be suggested by which they can even
hope for success.
| The following list of state offices, and
the men who are said to be seeking nom1na-
tions for them, shows how low is the tide of
| democratic aspiration:
