ARE READY FOR THE BATTLE
The Republican County Conven-
tion Today.
A Big Political Assemblage This
Morning.
Some Side Lights the Struggle
Among tho Banks for the Treas
urership-A Surprise Prom
fsed the Convention.

The Republican county convention
today will be one of the largest political
assemblages that has ever gathered in
this county. There are 519 delegates
on the roll, and the majority of the out.
side delegates arrived in the city yes
terdsy afternoon and last night.
All the evening Spring street from
First to Third was crowded with politi.
clans busly engaged in csnvasaing the
chances OF the various candidates, and
the party leaders were busy in making
up combinations.
In the recorder fight Sherman Smith
has commanding lead. with the First
ward delegation back of him solid.
Bray's chances in the fight were injured
by the circulation by his friends OF sour
rilous circulars ON election day in the
First ward.
One of the surprises OF the convention
will be sprung in tae fight for treasurer.
The down town banks have made COM
bnatien, and either Fleming or Day is
acceptable to them. Within the last "a
-
county has been quietly pushed into the
fight. It is claimed that his standing
and prominence are such that he will
command an influential following in the
convention. This dark horse is put in
the race by one of the oldest banking
Institutions in the city, the mnnagers OF
which are determined to have some
chance at the handling the county
funds. The Introduction OF this new
element will likely make some change
in the combinations which are being
made.
Last night the Third ward delegates
held caucus and decided to support
Parker for recorder solidly. This, 1t is
considered. throws Bray entirely out of
the race. There has been practically no
change in the chances Of the candidates
as outlined in the HERALD of Sunday.
Wirsching's chances for tax collector,
however, are steadily Frightening, and
talks with the country delegates who
arrived in the city yesterday indicate
that he will be nominated on the first
ballot. Simpson will probably be nomi-
mated in the Thirty-sixth senatorial dis
trict, and Major Androus will get the
nomination in the Thirty-seventh.
In the legislative districts, Llewellyn
will probably be nominated in the Sew.
enty-third, H. G. Weyse in the Seven
tieth and o. H. Huber in the outside
district. This list, however. is subject
to revision today, when all Of the dele
gates are on the ground.
1t ia likely that the corrupt ring
methods which were used in the Third
ward will be brought to the attention of
the convention today, as there are some
good men on the delegation who are
elected who want to publicly denouncs
the methods pursued by the Otis gang
of heelers. The use OF l60 registration
blanks which have not yet been turned
in will probably lead to legal complica-
tions.
