POLITICAL.


It IS now a settled fact that Hon.
Thomas Maloney viii accept the nom
ination for supreme judge if it is Of
fered. Mr.. Maloney stands well with
the members Of the bar in northern
Utah, and if nominated will make a
splendid fight. because lie is well
adapted for such a campaign as a
man aspiring to such a big position
would be expected to make.
With Maloney in the field for SUI
preme judge, it leaves the held open
to R0lapp, johnson and such other
Democrats as care 10 enter the race
for the district jUdGship and there Is
reason 10 believe that the contest Will
be quite spirited
There is practically no change among
the Republicans so far as the judg-
ships are concerned. Haywood still
has walkOver for supreme Judge
and Allison and Bishop are suggested
Tor district judge with Bagley as
possibility Allison has the call on
the nomination f he desires 1t.
Since the selection Of Mr.. Glassman
as president of the National
League. several staunch Republicans
or the county have surrendered to the
combine and now concede that MI
Crane has almost q sure thing on the
nomination for governor.
Sine. the suggestion Of the name of
II H. Spencer as the possible Demo
cratic nominee for mayor, some OF
the friends of Mayor BrouSh have
suggested that instead of his entering
the field for denomination for
mayor, that he should pull tor secre-
tarv of state It is not known whether
Brough stands in with The combine
or not. He could soon get in line,
however. if he does not. BrouSh
would be a strong opponent OF Sire
veil, who seems TO be the combine
man for this particular Office.
Tie leading party men on both
sides of the fence who have discussed
the political situation dispa5sionately
of late. seem to agree IN one thing,
and that is that all things considered,
the Democrats have decidedly the Nc 0st
encouraging prospect for gathering IN
a good share of the offices this fall.
Republicans don't as a rule admit
that their party has no show, although
some few have been heard &c express
the opinion that this was q bad year
for their party.
A great deal of interest centers in
The Democratic state. convention in
Kentucky, which meets TO-DAY. be-
cause it is in measure a drawn bat
tie between the administration Demo
Gratis and the silver Democrats IN that
state, and in case the silver men win
it will certainly influence a great
many men who have grave doubts
about the Republicans ever doing any
thing for silver.
\ prominent Republican said yes
terday that If the staunch Demo-
cratic state of Kentucky declared for
silver it meant a great deal more than
most people thought and in his Cpin-
ion would turn the tide in favor of
silver 50 far as the Democratic party
was concerned. The odds, if anything,
are with the party. of the secretary of
the treasury in kentucky, and while
there is a strong probability of a sill
yer victory, it is not certain and those
who are we'll versed in Kentucky, roli-
tics say that IT viii by no means be
q knock out for silver even il the sill
yer men fail to win because local in
terests enter into the fight, which,
while they will weigh against the sill
Yer men. should no. be Considered as
