The Saint Paul globe., 1898-06-12


The sphere of usefulness of the Gar
held club is to be extended to county
politics. it is quite apparent, but in
whose interest is not so clear. 1t seems
that AID. Bell wants the nomination
for county auditor, and, although it
was conceived that the Garfield club
was started solely for the purpose Of
handicapping candidates for place un-
der the mayor, still Mr.. Bell thought
it might have its uses in the county
campaign. SO when the organizers CT
the affair got around to him for a
contribution he paid the hall rent for
the meeting of Friday night-$o. Then
they went in and turned Mr.. Bell down
deliberately, and there is all sorts of
trouble on the West side. 1t seems
that the club could see no choice in
the bunch of Republicans that We're
out for place as auditor and concluded
that better work could be done for
other candidates.
The names of the announced candi-
dates for the place now held by Mr..
Sullivan are NJ. w. Fitzgerald, James
Bell, Dennis Sullivan and Tom Martin.
What can we do said Mr.. Latta,
with a bunch like that to choose
from?"
Speaking about the Garfield club, e
Z. Mcdonald says that at the Friday
evening meeting nothing was said
about the Irish. SO far as he was con-
cerned.
The Endorsement that was given to
Tom Neuhausen practically settled
that young mans chances with the
mayor. It's a case where the ham
mer is mightier than the pen," said
Harry Sundberg.
Candidates for the nomination on
the Republican ticket for sheriff are
so very numerous that Sheriff Wag-
erer may sit pretty easy. George Irish
wants the nomination as the political
successor of Charlie Chapel, under the
agreement Of two years ago. He is
backed by his business partner, Eli
Warner. of course, and may cut a
good deal of figure, as he will have at
least the state end of the machine in
st. Paul.
Tim Reardon moved into the Fourth
ward because he thought that was the
place to start for Sheriff from. Be-
sides, sometime in the dim and distant
past. Tim was alderman from the
Fourth
Col. Ed Milham has got an idea he
can make something of a running
himself and he is out with some Of
the backing that took him into the
assembly-and very little of that which
got him out of the same body.
Emanuel Johnson, who was a deputy
under Chapel, is doing a good deal of
racing about in the First ward on the
presumption that anybody who comes
into the Republican convention with
the First can have what he wants. He
has been out of sight politically for a.
hut ;-
has been busy out in his ward.
John Moritz. at present a county
commissioner, believes it should be his
right to run against John Wagencr, and
he has lately paid his entrance.
This IS the list up to date, but the
entries are by no means closed yet and
there will Undoubtedly be others. IF
is evidently now thought that the race
will be between Irish and Reardon.
That ii will engender a great deal of
bitterness, is assured, from the fact
that both of the men are campaigning
as actively as though the convention
Lad already been held.
1t looks very much as though Sam
Anderson would have the hottest fight
on his hands of any of the candidates,
fer denomination, with the possible ex-
ception of Edmund. They are all
against Edmund in making combina-
tiuns but Sullivan. They are all
against Anderson, including Sullivan
Anderson is naturally sore, for he fee, s
thai lis assistant. Fred Zollman, is GO
ing to cut in and get the nomination
in spite of the fact that he, Anderson.
has given it cut that he wants it him
self. He had an idea that
the simple announcement of his own
candidacy would serve to keep Zollman
out OF it, but the assistant has entire
Iy different views of the matter. and
there will be coldness in the county
attorneys Office that will be frosty. in
deed, and which will not thaw until the
convention is held. In fact, it is not
likely to warm UP much, even then. for
number of lawyers who are not inter
ested in criminal affairs and don't want
ANDERSON for mark, are declared for
Zollman. 1t will be the fight mcst
worth watching of all those that are
going on under quite exterior in the
court house. If the Republican pro-
Sramme should include Zollman for
county attorney, it is likely that SIAN
Donnelly will be against him, while. if
Anderson should be selected, then if is
quite certain that Mr.. Donnelly will
want the. nomination, which. in that
event, will be practically equivalent to
an election.
The Democrats are well engaged in
waiting until the Republicans get their
States made, for there are going to he
