The name of w. H. S. Wright is being
canvassed by some influential Democrats in
connection with the mayoralty
MIR. Wright is an old citizen stands high
In business and society circles and has a
very large list of acquaintance in st. Paul.
lie has been consistent Democrat but has
never sought or held political office. In ap-
pearance, bearing and demeanor he would
grace ducal chair, and his friends say if he
would enter the race he could be relied on
to give most excellent account of himself
Both Chairman Scannel and Secretary
Huber, of the Democratic city committee
were asked yesterday to furnish the G o b e
with list of primary polling places and
names of judges, if any had been selected.
Both gentlemen said they could not give the
required information but they were sure the
notices required by law have been posted
as atfidavts had been turned in to that effect
Late last evening Corporation Attorney Oar
ragh promised he would make it his business
TO have the list published Monday morning.
J. J. Parker returned to the city yesterday
and his friends at once began to proclaim him
the coming man. Mr. Parker himself was
smilingly courteous, but wasn't saying any
thing for publication.
John B. Covington is no longer a candi-
date for the Democratic adermanc nomina-
ton in the Fourth ward.
The Fourth Ward Independent Democratic
club will hold its next regular meeting at
its hall, 49, Wabasha street Qnterurban halD,
tomorrow evening. Mr.. Miesen, candidate
for alderman of the Fourth. and others will
be present and address the meeting.
A conference of active young Republicans
was held last evening at the Clarendon ho-
tel 1t was given out after the meeting that
1t had no political significance. but it is not
a wide guess to say the meeting was held
in the interest of Fred c. Schiffmann.
Capt Castles executive committee consists
of two men from each ward. His secretary
would not furnish the names for publication
although the gentlemen are said to be amply
able to lake care of themselves at all times
Postmaster Castles friends rallied in force
yesterday afternoon at Room PIC in the Endi-
colt building The captains old stand bys
were present, and several new faces also ap-
peared in the circle. Assemblyman O.. H.
Arosin elected president of the Castle
club. and W. II. Farnham secretary. Gen.
NJ. ID. Flower is first vice president, Albert
Schefer second vice president and Soren Lis
toe third vice president. Fred Boyer was
made assistant secretary and H. S. Fairchld
treasurer. SO it will be seen that the Castle
men mean to do business
Gen. Flower made an earnest speech in
which he cautioned those present that they
must get in their work at the primaries if
they want to make it count ITO meet here
and make enthusiastic speeches is of little
use he said, unless you will attend the
primaries and use your influence to elect dele
gates favorable to Capt. Castle
Harry ~. Sundberg,r one of E. G. Rogers
clerks, was Of the same opinion, and his
speech evoked applause. Mr.. Sundberg has
good pull in the big First ward
Capt Joe Burger and others reported prog
ress from the different wards and everywhere
Castle was said to be catching on very we'll
When the meeting adjourned it was until
Monday at p. m. At that time it is expected
everything Will have been fixed in accordance
with the postmasters motto: eff you want
anything go after it. Lightning never strikes
a hidden brilliant"
After the meeting Capt. Castle took excep-
ton to the o b e report of his speech to
Capt Gallick and others at Market hall
Thursday evening. He said: "All l said. and
all Mr. Doran said, was that we favored an
honest administration of the laws and de-
cent respect for public sentiment"
In the Dispatch voting contest F. c. Schiff-
mann is receiving a good many votes Mr.
Sohiimann is the son of DR.. Rudolph Schff-
mann, who gave the classic fountain to Como
park. He is rich young man and a popular
one: but beyond all that he is receiving the
backing of the kid" element which has prac-
tically ruled the Republican delegations from
the central wards of the city for several years.
Inc u o b learned yesterday that Schff-
mann's vote is to be largely increased before
rhe contest is closed, because his friends are
holding back their votes for grand coup on
the final day of voting. Oar F. Reese Henry
Johns, and in fact all of the powerful direc-
tors, are understood to be- quietly but none
the less effectively working for their favorite
Mr.. SchiHmann makes his home at the Char
erdon, and he will probably head the delega-
ton from the Fourth ward. OF course a
fight against him is. not unlikely but Schiff-
mann and his friends, it is claimed, will I'M
doubtedly be in position to name the candi-
date for mayor when the convention meets
The family lived so long in the Second ward
and Dr. Schiffmann is strong among all
classes of people, that it is thought his son. is
going to have more friends among the young
er delegates than the older candidates reckon
on. Stranger things have happened than that
Frederick c. Schiffmann should secure the
Republican nomination, especially if W. K.
Johnson should make a combination with the
Schifmann people A German American must
be put near the head of the ticket say the
bosses. Why not at the head? reply the
SchiffmannJohnso advocates. This would
leave Castle and Warren in peculiar situa-
ton to be sure; but that is no concern of
Sckiffmann's friends. o~.a-a'

Jimmy Shields, who resigned the office of
justice of the peace to go East, as he said,
has announced himself as candidate west of
Wabasha street the Democratic ticket.
Judge William Rodger has pledges already
from numerous delegates
Monday evening the Second Ward Repub-
lican club will meet at Lucker's hall, corner
Forest and East Third streets.
II. L. Mills, of the Eighth ward is a candi-
date for justice of the peace west of Wabasha
street on the Republican ticket. Mike Schorn,
of the same ward, is also a candidate; but
Judge William Rodger is believed to be going
to succeed himself, from all appearances.
McCardy, Castle and Horst it is under
stood, is the combination of the better ele-
ment" of the Republicans The comptroller
is always in evidence at the Castle meetings
but he does not court Doran or Warren.
Against this combination is Warren Fitzger-
ald-Johnson.-if a straight American ticket is
to be nominated and Schiffman- Johnson
Horst, if the German element is to be recog-
nized. Two Germans will hardly do, but Fred
SChiffmann was born in ST. Paul and can
therefore easily stand as an American The
