RESTING on THEIR ARMS
LEGAL Politicians Have Finished
the Hard Work.
COMBINE Is CONFIDENT
In spite of Opposition Tickets En- Many
Districts They Feel 1t VIII Go
Through-Mr. Killcen's Candidacy.
He, Too, L. Sure He VIII Break
the Line Somewhere.

The Democratic campaign for theelcction
of siXty-SiX delcgai eS to the city convention,
which will seiecs six men to represent the
District of Colunh-l ut Chicago, practically
closed at midnight last night.
Yet there will be, 10 use a war phrase,
some little dcsuito-y, firing all along the
line, until the hour of balloting, which
begins in all the old Legislative districts
at 1870 tomorrow evening.
Saturday was a busy gay with the local
politicians. All SORTS OF rnmorS were afloat
concerning The probable outcome OF the
election.
STORIES were started that the So-caHed
ordination ticket had had Il split. and
that new men would be added to the ticket
and at least two or the old ones compelled
TO retire. The best information that could
Zoe obtained was that there was no truth
whatever in these rumorS, and that the
ticket now In the field, composed of MeSsrs.
Boyle, Holmead. Aattingly. Morgan. Jordan,
and Forrest, would go through.
II is true strong effort is being made
10 arrange q ticket headed by Mir. George
Killcen of the Nlnttlenth district to de
feat the combine, hut there is little or no
hope that this can be done.
HOW BETS WERE LAID.
Last night wagers were offered AT Cham
berlin's, shoomaker's, and other uptown
resorts that the six men named above
would average from ~ to so votes on the
first ballot. II ICgLlIcS 81 votes 10 elect,
a ma iority OF &c.
Mr.. George Kilicen, who, by the way, is
one OF the best Iosted politicians in the
District, expresses tie greatest confidence
in his ability to win. He denies that he is
in any particular combination, but says
when the votes are coante q nc viii loom up
with enough To win.
He does not say tfat he viii beat any
particular one o. tie SIX, but tia he VIII
land a way up with tGc highest. OF course,
If Mr.. Killccn's predictions are true, the
defeat ct either Forrest, Boyle, Morgan,
Holmrad, AattiH2ly or Jordan is inevitable.
Now the question that is being asked
among the Democratic workers is whose
scalp Is the Hon. George kIileen after?
Is he running TO down the whole sC-railed
combination, or is he after any one individ-
ual?
The Times exclusively gave the names
OF all the candidates in the field in last
Wednesday mornings edition. Every dis
trict except five was represented. Since
that time opposition tcGets have sprung
un in some of the districts. This is the
