Whelan's supporters claim that the IN
dependent elements are all for their can
ddate. The boys at large number 100
and it is expected that Of these 100 will be
Whelan men. Whelan himself stated last
evening that he expected to control the
Fortieth District, where be resides, anu
the Forty-frst, Forty-second. Forty-fourth
aad part OF the Fcrty-ffth district, these
being north of Market street. Of the
southern district Whelan claims the

eighth.
An enthusiastic supporter of Whelan
said last evening: Two years ago
Whelan was prominently mentioned in
connection WITH this Office. Then he was
beaten by J. j. Dwyer, who forced upon
the public the nomination of McDade. But
McDade, as soon as lie got elected, broke
his promises to his friends. Now he will
be beaten by those same friends. Dwyer's
influence is not wanted. as 30 one has ever
admired his high-headed, arbitrary man
ners. McDade is being burned by the
very elements he hslped 10 build up.
And another strong resson why he
should not be renominated is that this has
not been the custom since 1870 But there
is an element of boSsism surrounding Nc
Dade's fight this year. BE was all right
until Buckley reappeared. and then he
went to pieces He didn't know what to
do.
FINALLY McDade thought he'd cast in
his lot with Buckley & Co. In his dis
trcts he has acted in concert with this
party. Consequently. now he finds him
self between two fires-the anti-Buckley
people don't want him, while the Buck
leyites won't TT ust him. That's how the
matter now stands, and John j. McDade
is beaten man"
On the other hand McDade's supporters
are quietly, not n0isily, confident. They
can see no reason for any uproar, and
maintain that their candidates chance is
as good as ever it was. ''We see NJ reason
why the Sheriff should net be renomnated
and reelected" they say. Hes made a
capital official, and there is every reason
why be should take office again"
One prominent local politician was with
McDade caucus until o'clock yesterday
morning. He said: There is no trouble
at all with any one in this convention
The Clunie amendment is all over the Su-
periOr Jud ges, that's all. As for the norli-
nation of McDade, all [ can say is that
when left the caucus, in the early hours
this morning, we calculated that we have
$50 votes out of the 900, after discarding
every doubtful vote McDade's all right,
you bet"
The denomination of County Clerk
Haley seems assured, beyond doubt, ac-
n tha
vention last evening. It is generally sup
posed that be will be nominated by
acciamation.
Il think Shattuck will retire at the
eleventh hour" said one of Raley's chief
supporters last evening. 'Shattuck knows
what he's about. He's not going in for a
losing fight. He knows perfectly we'll that
if be secures the nomination he will be de-
feated in election, while on the contrary
he admits that Haley's denomination
means his reelection to a certainty. The
only thing that stirs up any fight at all is
the opposition to Haley made some weeks
since by Sheriff McDade.
"Why, in the order Of business they've
placed Haley's name eighth on the list
That is another proof. FentoD, McDade's
chief deputy, is making a strong fight for
Shattuck. and so is j. J. Dryer, the man
who caused McDade's nomination last
term. And the influence of the Sheiiff's
Office has been sufficient to place Haley in
the position where he is. They're going
10 use all the prejudice he can"
1t is known that Billy Gogan, whose
father-io-law is deputy of McDade.
made the motion In committee which
caused Haey's name to occupy the eighth
place.
On the other hand, some of the warm
est supporters of McDade persist in saving
that he has never shown any desire to
oppose Haley, and they argue this from
the position taken by some of McDade's
friends. One said "a short while ago
there were some propositions made to Nc
Dade's friends to throw over Haley for
Shattuck. McDade's friends would hear
nothing of the propositi n"
Supporters of both sides have been
heard in favor of a combination between
Haley and McDade. But Raley's friends,
some OF them at least, say that McDade
did his best TO fight Haley a few weeks
ago, and after seeing how the land lay. and
how Haley had more friends than McDa6e
the latter turned round and ever since has
been extremely anxious to patch I'D all
differences.
The tall, authenticated personality OF
Charles w. Reed, Prosecuting Attorney of
Police Court 1, was seen fitting hither and
thilher among the throng. Reed is a can
ddate for District Attorney, and saws he
feels confident of controlling his own dis
trict, and many others beside. His fight will
be against Grainey. Reed is not altogether
OverJoyed to hear that Billy Barnes has

again.
Judge Campbell, who presides over
Reeds court, albeit Republican, showed
his bewhiskered presence last evening.
1t was not observed, however, that the
learned juIist invited Reed to share some
mineral water.
Judge Levy was extremely busy last
evening. Closely attended by two of the
faith, II. l. Kowalsky and II. H. Lowen-
thai, he fought nobly for the tenure of
Office In Department 10 of the Superior
Court. He had nothing to say save that
he expected denomination, and he thought
ii would take place before the adjourn

ton. however. be was mistaken.
