JUDGE KELLY LEFT OUT.

There is trouble in the Reform camp.
The smoothness with which the ma
chine moved Saturday morning at Mar
ket hall in the interest of our dis
tinguished representative in congress
indicates only the rift within the lutte.
Col. Fred Stevens is at present the
nominal boss of the machine. To his
organizing capacity, backed by the
genius of Zollman. is due the scheme
of pure precinct primaries. The Ques-
ton now aniInating the reform bosom
is whether, III the wild scramble which
is Ill progress for county nominations
among the reformers. the pure-prlmary
scheme can be operated with safety
Col. Freddy No. 2 says it will be all
right, and the candidates who are left
off the slate are rather disposed TO agree
with him. but are not saying word.
Until within the past few weeks the
county slate ran something like this:
Congressman ...........A. r. Kiefer
Clerk OF courts .............E Il. u. Rogers
Sheriff. Charles A. Chapel
County auditor. Robert h. Seng
County treasurer. ......... Matt Jensen
Register of deeds ~ Henry Weber
Judge of probate 49,. Samuel Morrison
Judge William l.. Kelly has been
thorn in the side of the party of civil
liberty for MANY moons past, and there
have been dire threats that If he should
by any chance secure the Republican
nomination, the entire party would be
thrown down by the Dominant force in
the party-the gentlemen of the A. 2.
A. So the judicial nominations have
been held over by the slats-makers to

But the slate has been changed in
some measure already. Bob Seng is 10

to take his place. There is a super
abundance OF German material. ana, it
is thought that with the colonel at the
head of the ticket, for congress. and big
Henry Weber at the tail, for register
of deeds. the sons of the fatherland will
be held in line. Matt Jensen, too, is to
be sacrificed, and some able-bodieds

while the men who control delegations
in the several wards are getting to work,
and the machine, as well as the slate, is
IN great danger of falling to pieces. "a.

M. j. Bell and John Harris are two
more of the few remaining Jonahs left
They haven't been dropped overheard
as yet, but they will be if the leading
reformers have their way. 1t is said
that they don't go to church regularly,

ing sights which the village of Merriam
Park is treated to each successive Sun
day is that Of the erect and warlike fig
ure of Dennis as he Wends his way from
Father HarriSon'S church with a prayer
book under his arm almost, if not quite,
as big as himself. Before the slate =
makers have given Johu and "Jim'' to
the briny deep. however, there will be
many bitter storm pass over the re-
form privateer.
George Warren
keeps the reform statesman busy, and
the reform sheriff's activity in collect
ing his dubious bills is generally under
stood as being caused by the necessity
for reform grease, SO needful in the
fabrication OF the reform machine.
From all present indications. however,
both John Harris and George Warren
will have all the opportunity they want
to get square with the Flower Chape
combination, which has done the Jug
gernaut act so handsomely upon reform
ers great and small outside the limits of
the Seventh ward.

The office of judge of probate is not,
regarded as politically one of great
