! W. ). Barnes is talking of resignipg his
position as District Attorney and resuming
! the practice of the law. Heretofore, Mr.
Barnes has been looked upon a. possible
candidate for denomination for the place
he now holds, but the assertion of his
friends that he thinks of giving up his
place before the expiration of his present
term does not Indicate that be cOntem-
plates trying for reelection. When he
Withdrew from the contest for the guber
material nomination he did it with appar-
ent good grace, but il would appear now
that he was bitterly disappointed and de-
cidedly sore over the turn affairs took be-
fore and at the Sacramento convention.
He has not definitely decided what to do,
but he is often heard to say that he expects
TO have IAN Office of his own soOD," and
on one occasion, when asked whether the
soon" meant before the expiration OF his
term, he said he had not quite made up
his mind as to that. Assistant District
Attorney Hosmer is high in the graces of
Barnes wants 10 advance him by stepping
aside and allowing him to take'chargs Of
the flee. This. it is thought, would give
Hosmer a good boost for nomination, and
would be little sacrifice on the part Of
Barnes, who thinks he can do better at the
bar than in office.

terms ex ire on the 1st of January next
are: Judge DaiDgerteId, who was elected
n q Il RPlnhaF
appointed TO succeed Judge CARRIER, re-
signed, and Judges Levy and COREY.
Judge A. A. SandersOn, who still has
two years TO serve, is being put forward
by his Democratic friends for the nomlna-
ton fer the Supreme Court. His name
will most probably go before the Demo-
cratic convention, though the Judge him
self has not yet announced his candidacy.
The nomination for Assessor will prob
ably go to John ID. DAILY, the milkman. 1t
is said that the fight Daily had On his hands
with John d. Siebe has been cOmpro-
missed by an agreement that If Siebe
withdrew from the contest his brother,
Fred c. Sebe. formerly a member of the
Board of Fire Commissioners, would be
given the nomination for member OF the
Board of Equalization. II this arrange
ment should be abided by it will be an
EASY way out of what looked like an ugly
difficulty, for at one time 1t seemed that
either DAILY or Siebe would run on an In
dependent ticket if thwaTted in the at
tempt 10 secure the party nomination.
