ings and pursue different tactics. The
resolution passed by the national commit
tee was one effect of the new order of cam
paigning, and the other moves viii shortly
be made. There are, as has been said,
many candidates in the field and various
attempts are being made to form combina-
tons between them. BY unwritten law
there must be one colored man in the Dis
trict representation at St Louis. Conse-
quently the anti-Carson faction Is trying
to arrange q ticket by which some strong
and influential white republican and some
colored man other than Carson, with fol-
lowing of substantial character, shall be
put in the field and pushed through with
hurrah.
Other Candidates Named.
One favorite combination that was being
whispered about some time ago contained
the names of L. c. Bailey. colored barber
and banker, and Charles Ortlip, a contrac-
tor. At the time this was first preached
Mr.. Ortlip had it is said. the employment
of all the workmen of Contractor E. Sax
ton under his control, and there was much
enthusiasm in his behalf. This influence,
1t Is now said, he no longer eXerts, and
thus his chances are not regarded as SO
good they were. Mr.. Bailey, on the
other hand, is absolutely sure that he will
be chosen one of the two republican dele
gates TO ST. Louis, and makes no secret of
his confidence in this regard. H. is said he
now has his eye on Mr.. l.. NJ. Saunders
a running mate. Milton NJ. Holland, the
lawyer and barker, is another aspirant for
convention honors. and so is Daniel Muir
ray. one of the assistant librarians of Con-
gress.
Robert H. Key. a saloon keeper in South
Washington, has announced his candidacy,
and H. A. Davis, the barber at the Oxford
Hotel, is also in the race. Aaron Brad
shaw. who was chairman of the central re-
publican committee, wants to go to st.
Louis, ard, of course, Andrew Gleeson is a
strong candidate. w. Calvin Chase has a
lightning rod concealed in his high silk
hat hoping to attract compromise cleo
tricity when the storm clouds begin to
gather before the primaries, and there are
others who have not yet made any great
demonstration, but are preparing their
ammunition for an early broadside.
The new order of things regarding the
primary cleo ton method of choosing dele
gates has given the great number of intelli-
for reflection as TO what they may be able
to do, and among these gentlemen the
name of ex-District Commissioner Myron
NJ. Parker is most frequently mentioned as
that of a good man to send to St Louis.
1t is said of him that he has always been
a vigorous republican. who has contributed
substantially to party success in many
upon the District republicans in a national
convention or anywhere else. Mr.. Parker.
it is known, would accept such an honor.
but he would not indulge in any scramble
for it, nor would he enter into any combi-
nation with any of the other aspirants. The
sentiment in his favor is very rapidly grow
ing, and while ii Is too early for predic-
tons. great many shrewd observers of
locsl events do not hesitate to express the
belief that the delegates to ST. Louis from
the District will be Myron NJ. Parker and
Perry Carson.
