Gsane O. b - Rsaks Of the Rspublsean
Party.
The democratic party never has
been more fortunate in municipal
history in the possession of strong
candidates than it is this year. Aside
from the generally prevailing desire
that Mayor Medill be renominated
which has not been lessened by his
letter of declination to be considered
q candidate. there are other names
mentioned in connection with the
mayoralty which give the democrats
pronounced advantage over the
warning republicans. There are ex-
County SuPt. Z. B. Marshall. Maj.
H. C. Connolly, Aid. William
Roth, Arthur Burial. Gustav STEM
gel, Charles McHugh and C. J.
Long. all splendid men. For clerk,
the sentiment in favor of the present
able officer. A. d. Huesing, is unani-
nous although he has been strongly
urged for mayor in a manner most
complimentary to him. For attor-
uey, C. B. Marshall is also talked
of as is B. d. Connolly. For
treasurer. Harry Simmou and Paul
Hamilton are named, and for assessor
George w. Henry and j. E. Reidy
are popular candidates. For collec-
tor Leo Deisenroth has many friends.
For assistant supervisors, NJ. w. Bat
ties, T. A. Fender. Gustav Kiotz,
John Ohlweiler and Capt. George
Lamont are presented SO far.

otherwise than strong in each ward

Buncher and Charles Rite.

seph Geiger, F. H. Schroeder, Charles

Republican Complications.
The complications that have arisen
over. the republican nomination for
mayor are increasing rather than di-
minishing daily. The exposure OF
the McConochie slate has had a dis
astrous effect on the perpetual can
didate, and at the present time he is
not in it to perceptible extent, al.
though it is not known what may ex-
list under cover. as the cunning hand
is still at work and something is liza
BILE to break out at any moment that
will stand all the other candidates on
their heads. The efforts of Miller in
behalf of Knox appear to be more
genuine now than at first, and the
Knox stock which was formally
above par. has declined considerably
as q consequence, and the ex-chief is
now said to be looking for other
fields in which to cast his lot. Carse,
Kennedy. Knox and Schroeder are
all working hard. and all seem en-.
dowed with full confidence in the
outcome.
The republican aldermanic candi-
dates are beginning to blossom, and
each has a string attached to mayor
atty aspirants. In the Fifth, Evans
finds Richmond in the field, in the
person of C. A. Schoessel. In the
Second c. j. w. Schreiner and Jacob
X. Huber have locked horns. In the
Fourth, D. E. Noftsker and Jack Mar
tin are the leading candidates just
now. In the Sixth, j. +. Cramer
wants to come back to the council,
but his right is disputed.
