AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.
Judge Maguire's Candidacy for the
Nomination for Governor.

Nomination for Governor.
Lists of delegates to the Democratic
State convention come in slowly from the
counties throughout the State, only few
Of them having been received al the hea D.
quarters In this city. About forty coun ties
have named their delegations, and it is
presumed that the secretary of the State
Central Comm ittee will receive most of the
names within I he next few days.
As rule the delegates will come un-
pledged, only very few Instances of in
structions being given having so far been
reported. Tni leads Democrats 10 the
belief that the convention will be very
Independent body. and that there will be a
series of adjournments and caucuses.
Nevertheless it is thought that the body
will compile te it's work in three DAYS.
The Baldwin Thester, 10 which the cen
vention is to assemble e. can only be used
by the politicians in the daytime, and if
the three days programme is adhered to
the Democrats will have TO transact their
business with much more rapidity than did
the Republicans, who had their slate and
tn cir work well mapped out Should the
convention adjourn sine die on the 23d
there will be big ratification meeting at
Odd Fellows Il all on the evening of the
18th. when man y speeches will be made.
Secretary Troy of the State Central
Committee, who returned a few days ago
from Was hiDgton. where he has served
through the present session of the Senate
as assistant sergeant-at-srms. was at the
State headquarters yesterday. lie says
that Judge Mcguire will probably reach
the city before the adjournment of the
convention. Mr.. Troy talked to the
Congressman 10 regard to his political as
pirations this year, and says that Judg-
Mcguire expects to run for Congress again
in the Fourth District Wneo asked about
| the goVernorship Judge Mcguire said that
| II the party saw ht TO nominate him for
| Governor he would run, but that he in
tended 20 make no effort to secure the
nomination. He had laid out much work
! for himself in Congress and thought il
| was the logical course for him TO pursue to
! try 10 be returned TO his present position.
La other words should the party decide
| that Judge Mcguire is the best man to
! head the ticket In the coming contest,
and should tender him the nomination,
he will consent to make room for some one
else In Congress and become the party
! standard-bearer.
Several of the De mocrats who attended
meeting in the Office Of James II. Barry
| tuesday evening state that its object was
! TO boost Judge Mcguire for the nomina-
llon for Governor. 1t is apparent that an
J

| that he would not be averse to accepting
/ the honor his friends will more strongly
press his claims.
