PObITIGAIe NOTES.

i
Mr.. Day, has already entered upon his
duties.
Sweet peace still obtains in the
Fourth, 80 far as the judgeships are con-
cerned.
Charley Waite has been putting in
considerable time among the politicians
of the outside precincts of late.
Pat Dcre has large number OF votes
for county clerk in his vest pocket or
otherwise concealed about his person.
1t is denied that Billy Summers will
be a candidate for attorney general at
the expiration Of Mr.. Churchill's first
term.
A. W. Scott is man OF general popu
larity. and with the unanimous support
of the Sixth ward, he will be a strong
candidate for district judge.
John p. Maule made many friends by
his course as chairman Of the GENITAL
committee, and now that he is candi-
date, his services are not forgotten.
Long John Trompen's boom that
threatened at one time to beat down
everything before it, is not just now in
the asoendent, as / have before suggest
ed. There is a strong feeling that with
Fred Miller to combat, the republican
candidate for sheriff ought to come from
the city.
1t seems to be conceded that Harry
Wells, the popular Fourth ward candi-
date for county clerk, and Judge Lam
sing, will not make any fight for the
Fourth ward delegation. They are
willing to let Low and Rohman do the
battle act, and take their chances with
whatever delegation may be selected.
Al. Cornish, candidate for district
Judge, is a working republican, and he
is rendered additionally strong by reason
of the very effective service he has given
the republican party. He made a good
record in the legislature, and members
of the bar generally have confidence In
his legal ability. Cornish is a leading
candidate for judge.
Ralph johnson and c. NJ. Copp are
candidates for justice OF the peace in
the Seventh ward. 1t may be sail with
perfect propriety that Ralph is big
candidate. 1t will be remembered.
however, that Judge Gould lately moved
into this ward, and it will not be an
easy thing to prevent him from securing
the support Of the Seventh ward dele
cation.
1t is rumored, says the World-Heratd,
that the Hon. Daniel Cook OF Beatrice
is to be chairman OF the boiling demo-
cratic organization. IL Dan is going to
command it would be in order for the
convention to adopt platform declar-
ing in favor Of a reduction in the rate OF
interest. II lobe Castor is to be the
ruling spirit the boilers will probably
make heroic fight in favor of reducing
railroad rates.
The attack made by contemporary on
Judge Lansing, made for campaign pur-
poses, has attracted absolutely no atten-
ton. 1t was so obviously unjust and
malicious that there was no disposition
on the part of republicans to consider 1t
seriously. Judge Lansing needs no de-
tenders. He has made record Tor
fairness and honesty and he is willing
to stand on that record and that alone.
co not imagine that pusillanimous at
lacks like the one referred to have any
effect on the mental poise OF the county
judge.
Tom Cochran continues to dellber-
ate in the Fifth. There has been
some talk of Toms pulling off and head
ing for the legislature at long range; but
he is still candidate for county Judge.
As matter Of fact Cochran's popularity
is source of considerable uneasiness on
the part of other Fifth ward candidates.
