has heated upon the slow blood of all whc
are willing to take a chance III the lottery
and as every last man you meet Is anx

easily see that things are hnmming here
William Woodburn who entered the
District Judge fight last week. has bump
ed up against very hard game. jim
Torreyson who has been carefully plan.
ming this fight for a number OF months

The Democrats are going 10 hold Their
State Convention dag ahead of the
Silverites. The reason for this Is very
plain The Dems. have no possible show
to elect a ticket composed exclusively OF
members of that percussion, so they IN

Humphreys zee upon the ticket for
any old thing az course the delegates
will demand rec milton for several 9th

Since Woodburn got cold feet toward
the Supreme Judgship, j. Ne Hallakef

not be backward in clamonhg for some
Of the spoils as they FURNISH the heaviest
portion of the votes.s Storey and Orms-
by should be satisfied with two Offices

Hufiaker ia a well known lawyer and
stands hieh in the councils OF his party
