POLITICAL GOSSIP.

No decision has been reached on the
matter of Democratic candidate for
mayor. though great many gentle
men have been interviewed. AT meet
ing of number of the leading Demo-
Gratis. held late Thursday night, the
question of candidate came up. The
names of j. B. Atwater, B. F. Nelson,
j. II. Martin. Al Paris, j. G. Ii agnes
and L. Il. Than were balloted upon,
but no decision was arrived at. The
name of Mr.. Atwater was crossed off
the list. as was that of Mr.. Martin. The
latter has stated positively that he will
not accept the nomination. and Mr.. At
water did not meet with favor.

Messrs. Than, Haynes and Paris.
There is still lot of talk about P. B.
Winston allowing his name to be pre-
scented at the convention. He says, as
he has said great many times, that he
does not wish to be even considered as
candidate. He has been nominated
for the legislature. and to the legislature
he proposes to 20. His brother, F. &.
Winston, also states emphatically that
he is NOT out for office. He has too
much business on hand to think of run.

seem, then, that Messrs. Haynes, Paris
and Than are the gentlemen to be con-
Sldered in the light of candidates. That
they are capable men there is no doubt.
Either one of them would make strong
candidate, and just enough interesting
for the Republican nominee, Mr.. Pratt,
to be elected.
