COUNTY LOOKS FINE
DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS PLEASED
WITH THE PRESENT POLIT-
ICAL OUTLOOK
REPUBLICANS COARSE WORK

In the Convention Is Telling on the
Men Who COnspired to Defeat
the Wishes of IL Majority of the
Partv-WiIIrich Finds His Row
a Hard One - The "FraVelfns
Brewery"
The situation in the county at the
end of another week of the campaign
is satisfactory to the Democratic COM
mittee and the men on the Democratic
county ticket. The condition in Whlcn
the candidates of the new city nan
gang" find themselves has also hao
depressing influence which is taxing
out of the EuStiS campaign Whatever
of life there was in it. Inc coniD1Ie
which was formed in the Republican
convention to aegraoe GnS is sti1l
bench into a political machine IS SIM
on top. Billy Johnson and the irish,
elow-Willrich tail to the Billy
Johnson kite floats along serenely IN
the ether of local Republican virtue
and responsibility. Indeed, Billy Is
the whole thing. He furnishes the
brains; Horace Bigelow furnishes the
money and the booze, and George 1flsn
introduces into the combination the re-
srecta,ble elements Of Republican So
cietv. who sit and watch the bunghole
while the amber tide GIBBS and flows:
Horace naturally has been disposed
to insist on his friends getting more
than their share Of the stuff. But
Billy has his eye on the Elgnth
ward, as George has it on the Fourth,
and there are many thirsty sous III
both these bailiwicks. The portable
brewery of this combine is according
" announced as preparing to move
early next week from the Fifth ward
over to the vicinity Of elevator B.
WILLRICH FINDS HARD SLED
DING.
Willrich is having hard Juggling to
keep up with his associates of the COM
bine. They are getting to look on him
as a Jonah. Jaggard and his friends
are on the war path. It's a case Of
dog eat dog between Jaggard and Will
rich. Percy Godfrey, who is running
Jaggard's campaign, says he knows
whose dog is going to be let" and 1t
isn't going to be his. Elmer McDon-
aid is another West side statesman
who is taking a very decisive hand In
the business from the outside. When
the portable brewery gets around to
the West side with Bigelow and his
inspiring presence, his opponent in the
convention, whom the combine so
ruthlessly slaughtered, will be ahead
of him. And he won't do a thing to
Horace among those who recognize
Louis Pavian as the only true Moses
OF local politics.
The two really lonesome candidates
of the "cannfbal convention are Aro-
sin and Krahmer. Arosin thinks HIM
self too good to mix with the others
and they think if he is so stuck up he
can go it alone The Kieferverein
treats him quite coldly. There will
soon be little else for him to do but
join hands with Jaggard. Arosin may
protect himself against the sell-out
IN the First ward which the Johnson
Irish BigeIow- WiIlrich combine" is
preparing for in order to save them
selves from the fatal collapse in that
section of the Republican balloon; but
Krahmer and Jaggard will be cempar-
at;Tel;- helpless. They will have to
figI.s for their very existence if they
are tc get ahead of the treacherous
course which the combine" has map
ped out for themselves.
SEE THEIR MISTAKE.
Everybody has now come to recog-
nize the utterly fool character Of the
politics which prevented the nomina-
ton of Judge Bum in the Republican
convention. This fall of Babylon won't
be in it with the fate Of this pot-house
gang who forced partisan judicial nom
nations on the convention through
the corrupt deal made tie night be-
fore. Decent Rep <Aicans understand
h. and why it was done. And they
are going to rebuke it. Bum and
tEichael will be the benefciaries of
tnis crooked convention. In no other
way san the Independent voters signify
their contempt of those who leave the
situation of judicial affairs to the de-
iho~ of SoOINc Of 61-lJ1o
