COHNrY POLITICS.

The Journal Press has been investigat
ing the political situation in the camu @
the democrats Of Stearns county, an,
prints the re suit in extenso. from which
the HEKALD &opies:
Chairman +. p. Barnam has not callet
the county committee together as yet
and just when the county convention
will be he'd 1t is not certain. Til,
present OCCUPANTS of the court house ar,
said To favo1 a late convention and 1t i:
quite probable that their wishes Will bs
respected to ia large extent by MIR. Bar
mum. When t does come there will be q
tight on every office, and no dearth o.
excitement.
For the office of auditor, it is UNDER
stood that Harvey Vossberg is candi
date for re-el{ctiOn. His old-time oppo-
nent, p. Gruber will again make the
fight against him.
There IS quite an array OF talent out
Tor the trea}urership. b. Mueller the
present incumbent, is a candidate and
among thOsf who are now arrayed
against hisn are City Treasurer Chas.
Dueber, Aug Doerner and ex-Treasurer
A. Atoosbrugger. All the three laoter
are distant RI latives and it is quite pro-
bable that there will be. a compromise
and that one IOf them will undert take the
difficult task Pf unseating MIR. Mueller.
The ofice Of sheriff will this year again
be the main q ck-pit of the county tour
nament. Sheriff Hammered smiles blaud
~ wbea opposition is mentioned and
seems satisfied that the field against him
Is nO.larger. There are said to be three
avowed candidates from St. Cloud for
the v4aice. Ohs is Ben Kost. who was
deputy some years ago, another is !. ].
Lanermann a nd thlrd P. ]. Limperich.
Each. has cdrtain following in the city
and kOst and Limperich have a large
acquaintance throughout the county,
Lauermann il also hustler, but Ham,
merei can carry the city against any OF
them. Fred RI Hecklin OF ALBANY, whose
mall was buried short time since, will
again try, and Frank E. Minnette is now
working life Insurance in the country
and at tue SAME time fixing fences-which
some are unkiud enough to say do not
exist.
The term Of E. 2. Barnu,n as clerk of
court expires this fall. 1t is now conced-
ed that he Will get the nomination, but
will have opposition. One Of those who
will enter the lists against him is Justice
Hubert Hanson.
There has mo- opposition yet develop
ed against ind, N. E,nmel far register OF
deeds and no. One has been found TO offer
himself as a. candidate for county at
forney. now held by Jno. ID. Sullivan.
L. Roch0lk 10 a candidate for super
intendeat of s&keols, and will have re-
publican aitef the office in the person OF
Jas. L. Barrisst, teacher at Holdings
-Ford.
Peter Brick who was judge of probate
a number OF yfars ago, IS out for the re-
nomination t1is year and will probably
get It. las. Bennett, Tr., is likely to
be au.independent candidate aid in that
event will give him a close race.
The highly Important Office of court
commissioner win go to Franklin cour-
~. This is q courtesy which is always
appreciated Hv the democrats Of the
west-end of the county.
The democdate majority has always
been very hbdral with Franklin county.
and for years has conceded the commits
sionesship I'd. western Stearns-and
that's an. IT any one can remember
when this emf Of the county was EVER
-conceetsed the right or privilege of repre-
sentation updn the democratic county
ti,ket he will confer favor by making
the fact conspicuous tor use in the ur-
called convention OF that party this fall
And yet, unEry-eyed west en-. democ-
racy walks uB to the empty trough and
helps swell ub the east enders without
20 much as al feeble kick. There will be
one western man on the ticket this tai,
but knowing ones say that his road will
not be the smbothest.
