The Saint Paul globe., 1898-07-10

Tomorrow night the Democrats and
Populists will hold primaries. the for
mer to elect delegates who will nomi-
nate county, legislative and congress
sional tickets, and the latter to nomi-
nate county and les. .slative tickets The
Democratic conventions will be held at
Turner hall TUESDAY next, at 10 O'c.ock
in the forenoon; the PopullSt conVen-
tionS will be held at Labor Temple at
the same hour. The one set of dele
gates will perform all func ions in each
case, but 1t has not yet been settled
in what order or how the various con-
VentionS will be held.
1t is still uncertain whether or not
there will be fusion between the Demo-
Gratis and Popullsts in the county AID
city campaigns. Some time ago it was
doubtful whether the PopuliSlS would
fuse with the Democrats. Now it is a
question whether or net the Democrats
viii fuse with the Populis.s.
+. n. Stacy and I. j. Cation are max
ing efforts to bring about large at
tendance at the PopuliSt primaries II
order to defeat the schemes of the mid
readers, and if they should Succeed the
Populist convention will go In for fu-
sion. and it is probable that Cation will
be given the DemocI atic iDGorSem mt in
his congressional aspirations. If they
fail it is an entirely different story.
In case cooperation between the par
ties is found impossible, there is no
doubt that the majority OF the Demo-
Gratis will favor the nomination OF
congressional candidate to oppose Ca
ton.
There would be no hesitation on their
part, if they had a candidate available
who was willing to make the race. p.
E. Winston was mentioned as a pos
sibility, but he has repeatedly stated
that he would not accept the nomina-
ton If it was rendered to him, and
now gossip has centered upon the name
of Judge John P. Rea as the strong
est man. Judge Rea has not been ap-
preached upon the subject. but it is
thought he would be willing to accept.
In case he does not feel willing there
is still the recourse Of nominating John
Day Smith, who is being pushed by the
silver Republicans.
The nomination for sheriff will be
the principal bone Of contention in the
Democratic convention. There were
many candidates for the place, but
one by one they have dropped out till
but two are left, and now the contest
is practically between Alonzo Phil
lips, the present incumbent, and E. j.
Conroy. who is making hot fight
ticns are not decidedly in favor of
either.
The Republican judicial convention
| will be held Wednesday next, and the
primaries therefor will occur Tuesday
| evening Four candidates are to be
| nominated, and from the present ap-
pearance Of the field there is strong
| probability of a hot time The four
| judges whose terms expire are John
av-,,icn ND al
and it Is practically certain that Lar
caster, at least, will drop by the way
| side Lancaster Is a Democrtt, and
although a staunch advocate of the
sound money cause, 1t Is thought that
will not be sufficient to save him. The
active candidates, in addition to the
present incumbents, are Henry j.
Gjertsen. Judge Daniel Fish and j. L.
| Dobbin Of these three, Gjertsen and
| Fish are seriously to, be considered
Both of them have many, elements OF
| strength and will have many friends
| on the floor of the convention. An
other man who Is to be reckoned with
in this struggle is John H. Steele. who,
| however, has declared to numbers OF
his friends that he is not and will not
become a candidate.
On the Democratic ticket John T.
MCGOWAN will probably receive the
senat torial nomination in the Thirty
eighth district to oppose George w
Meyer. Andrew Dolan and Peter Jeut
| are mentioned for house nominations
In the Thirty-ninth district ]. c.
| Haynes and F. G. Mcmillan are men
| toned for senatorial honors, while the
house candidates are Matthias Lell-
man, Frank H. Castner and Charles
| Gibson F. B. Long will probably be
named for the senate by the Demo
Gratis of the Fortieth district to op'
pose E. G. Potter, S.. r. Child, L. d
Brown and Charles A. Cornman are
mentioned for the lower house nomi
nations.
1t is understood that P. B. Winston
| has stated that he will contest with
| George P. Wilson for senatorial hon.
ors in the Forty-first district, and i
| is said that j. H. Martin would no.
! be averse to having a similar honor
conferred upon him. It Is practically
| certain that Winston can have ths
| nomination If he goes after 1t. For the
| lower house in this district Max Adler
| E. r. Lynch, Harry D. Erwin and H
L. Chaffee are said to be candidates
| s. A. Stockwell will contest for tn.
senate in the Forty-second district. H
! B. Harriss and John McElroy, of the
| Eleventh ward, and John Neill ani
Hugh Dorsey. from the country dis
tricts, are possibilities for house nom
| nations.
