AMONG THE POLITICIANS.
SOME PROBABLE CANDIDATES
OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Glasmann Talked of For the State
Senate-Flygare For County Com
missioner-Other Probabilities.

The Republican primaries occur to-
night and the convention tomorrow. 1t
is probable that the work of the con-
vention will not be protracted, as
there appears to be no contest to speak
of for the various offices. If a man
wants a nomination it will not be diff
ficult for him to get it by reclamation
1t seems probable that for the state
senate William Glasmann will be the
straight Republican nominee TO oppose
Daniel Hamer, the Democratic canal
date, and Fred j. Kiesel, the probable
nominee Of the Cannon forces. For
representatives the handwriting on the
wall indicates that the Mckinley peo-
pie will name A. 7. Wright, l. l..
Clark. T. q. Burt and two from county
precincts. May be some lady, Mrs.
c E. Coulter, for instance, will be put
son the ticket and only one member
from the outside county districts be
named. An effort is being made to
find some lady who viii be available
to name as a, candidate for recorder
against John G. Tyler. Charley Layne
will make the run again for sheriff.
For clerk, Charley Hollingsworth
can be the candidate OF one or per-
haps of both Republican conventions
yet to be held.
For treasurer, of course Alma d.
Chambers viii be a candidate to sue.
coed himself, and for surveyor William
Bostaph.
For county attorney, George Halver-
son is liable to have the nomination
thrust upon him and NJ. A. Breeder
may meet the same fate.
For assessor, Edwin Dix will likely
try it again.
For county commissioners, n. G.
Flygare will likely be one of the can
didatac and nnSGihlU other from
the city, though the Republican slate
makers are looking for available men
in the county.
POPULISTS.
The Populist convention will recon
vene Wednesday morning as per ap-
pointment with the silver Republican
and Cannon Democratic committees.
The PopulistS have got some demands
of their own and while they are will
ing to concede to the boiling Demo-
Gratis most of the offices, there are one
or two fat positions which they have
selected for themselves and propose to
endorse one or two Republicans The
Populists are more laxative than
their co-wOrkers, and their desires are
pretty well known. A glance at their
possible candidates show what is in
the minds of the other fusion people. If
the dominant wing of the Populist
be about as follows (all names are of
Cannon Democrats except where indi-
cated):
State senate, F. ]. Kiesel; represen-
tatives, ]. J. Olsen. Populist; A. G.
Horn, H. p. McCardle, T. D. Johnson,
C. A. Smurthwaite, A. ]. Weber.
County clerk, S. S. Smith, Populist.
County attorney, n. Tanner, jr., or
Y. ]. Harris, silver Republican.
Treasurer, A. d. Chambers, Repub-
ican.
Assessor, Fred Foulger or Moroni
Brown.
Recorder, Miss Rose Garfield.
Surveyor, D. w. Ellis.
County commissioners, j. NJ. Langs-
dorf, ]. B. Trimble, Fred Toy, Populist.
Sheriff, +. D. Higginbotham, S. A.
CoppiRger or G. H. Islaub.
Of course, the Populist demands may
be modified as occasion and the Can
non people may demand. There is
a large element of the Populist
party which is opposed TO fusion and
will not be included in any such deal
as that outlined above, but this ele-
ment has lost control of the county
committee and are opposed utterly to
the Cannon people and their fusion
scheme.
The silver Republicans are apt to
make a great show of yielding all
SOOA4bS III Tic 1LlClC VI SllN6ls
and demand nothing but a paltry
senatorShip for Cannon.
The Cannon Democrats, "Insur- !
gents "Fusionists" or Boilers as
they are variously styled, will get the |
principal places on the conglomerate !
tickets, as indicated in the forecast of |
Populist demands. They are keeping |
quiet however, until the other tickets |
are all in the field.
]. F. Crowley and H. P. McArdle are !
both talked of as labor representatives |
On the 'conglomerate" ticket.
