VAN SLYKE FOR SHERIFF..
The Mention Of His Name
Strikes Terror to Re-
publieans.

iioiu VIC arena, was commenting yeSter-
day on some of the men mentioned for
county offices. He said it was sur
prise to him TO see so many men who
were once prosperous in business and
could not then find time to even talk
politics now want small offices. "Why,
IL they ever do get into Office it will be
after the perQuisiteS are cut down to
small sum-" said he. The same nan is
OF the opinion that E. &. Rogers and
Lane X. Stone are getting down to the
common herd when they ask to be NOM
mated for clerk of courts and for reg
lister of deeds. But hard times brings
lots of people to their milk" he added,
as last remark.
Speaking of Lane Z. Stone being a
candidate for register of deeds, Capt.
Bean said yesterday: "Well, he will
never get the nomination." The Cap
tain declined to name his choice for
that honor. He also said that he is not
candidate for sheriff. aS he Is In honor
bound to give Charles Chapel another
chance for his white alley.

Several Republican machine men said
yesterday that George Warren is in the
fight for the sheriff and will wrest the
nomination from Capt Chapel. They
say that the friends of the latter are de-
claring that Warren is satisfied with his
position on the board of public works,
but this is declared TO be unauthorized
and that Mr.. Warren is in the field as a
winner for the nomination,

Capt. John Harris said yesterday that
the papers that assert that he is only
out to secure deputyship are not his
organs, and he will show them that he
will get the nomination for sheriff He
alluded to the fact that he had thirty
one votes in the convention before, and
said he is in a position to claim the
nomination this time and proposes to
hustle for it. 3Ig +

The fact that William A. Van Slyke
has been spoken of as candidate
for sheriff has created consterna-
ton in the Office of the sheriff sas
we'll as among the Republican can
friends. Mr.Vau Slyke is the fastest
runner in the city, and if he asks for
the nomination he will be backed by
the young men and old of his party. and
will get the support of thousands of
Republicans. The Republicans hope
he will be side-tracked, as they recog-
niZe in him winner-in-a-walk candi-
date. The Republican candidates all
hope he Will not seek the particular
office they have respectively cast their
eyes upon, and are mentally bouncing
him back and forth as they would
ball, in hope that he will light upon
some other lot than their Own.

ing to run up against buzz-saw again.
Last spring Aid. Murphy chewed him
up in the Ninth ward. This time ne
wants the nomination for probate
judge, and as no one else is willing to
try chances with Judge Olivier, he may
have the empty honor Of running again
conferred upon him. E

Terrence Kenny thinks that an Irish
man has no chance in the Republican
party and is not candidate for the
legislature. He said he got enough of
politics in running for alderman last
spring. When asked who the repub-
Iicans in the Third ward proposed for
office he replied with voice of irony {:
''Give the Office to the Norwegians
they are the hustlers and can talk their
people over to their way of thinking
and voting" He seemed to be willing
| to coneede the right of way to that
nationality Tor anything they wanted,
| in the political line, in so far as the Re-
| publican party is concerned.
a.
Hon. Henry Keller, of Stearns county,
the politician. banker and manufactures,
was in the city yesterday attending a
! meeting of the state committee. He
| says that the farmers in Stearns county
are happy aud have good crops. Asked
about fusion with the Populists he re-
piled with characteristic emphasis" 1--WE
are honest men. No man OH a fusion
ticket dare go up there. We are good
| Democrats and there are more of them
than ever. We can win on straight
ticket" Asked whom he favored for
governor, he said he had no candidate,
but is in favor of good Democrat.

| Capt. ]. ]. Thornton. of st. James, left
| for home last evening after the meeting
| of the state Democratic committee.
| He says the people in his section OF, the
state are in favor of straight Demo-
cratic ticket, without fusion. He per-
SOnally favors the nomination of sex
| Speaker E. L. Champlin, Of Blue Earth
county, for governor. q

G. A. Towne. of Duluth, who wants
the nomination for congress ON the Re-
publican ticket, and who has Incident
ally stirred up the A. P. A. fight in that
part of the state, left for home Hast

days to gather pointers.

The headquarters of the Republican,
state committee is busy place Since
the campaign has been formally opened.
Tams Bixby has located there for the
campaign. and is busy comforting with
state and local politicians all day long.
| Col. Harris Richardson finds time to
forsake his large and lucrative law
practice to attend to the duties of Sec
rotary. He probably thinks it we'll to
have an anchor to windward. The fact
that he Is drawing big fees for prose-
got part Of the $4,000 appropri-
ated by the last legislature to de-
fend its members against the suit
OF j. j. Rhodes growing out of the coal
| combine investigation, would argue
| that the time lie devotes to politics lis,
from personal standpoint, well used.
