POLITICAL JABs.

1t is rumored that in the event of Arosin
being elected as county treasurer, he has
promised Messrs. Selb and Parker positions
In the office Their qualifications and expert
ence, rather than their political influence,
have, 1t is said, caused Mr.. Arosin to make
the promise.
The "yellow-dog'' Democrats of the Fifth
ward are making it lively for the Republican
Dogberry for county attorney
At the Republican meeting in G. S. P. s.
hall last week there was but one mechanic
from the Omaha shops present, and he left
i've minutes after the meeting was opened.
The mechanics at the shops remember how
the Thauwald crowd treated one of their
number when he ran against brewer for
alderman; and they are also aware of the
fact that the legislative, senatorial judicial
and county candidates were named in Thau-
wald's saloon weeks before the convention
was called.
Thomas F. Martin, the Democratic candi-
date for the house up around the Eighth and
Ninth wards, is placed at no disadvantage in
his campaign by his Illness. His friends have
made his cause theirs and have already ST.
fenced those who were making their mean
little, jealous effort against Toms election.
At the monster rallies held In Saltwater
and ST. Paul Judge Willis shared with Hon
John Lind the honors Of the occasion Where
was Nelson 8. Beardsley?
The St. Paul Herald falsely charged Judge
Willis with changing his attire and dressing
IN rough clothes while campaigning among
the farmers of the Fourth congressional dis
trict. VIII the Herald publish letter bear
Ing on this subject received by It's editor
from A, P. Yngve, Populist chairman at
Cambridge, Isanti county?
In an attempted speech at Cambridge
Mimi, Nelson S. Beardsley sought to impose
upon his hearers by stating that Judge Willis
Is opposed to the election Of John Lind.
Whewi What next?
John H. Ives seems to be especially OBJ
noxious to the gang. His candidacy for
senator on the Democratic ticket in the
Thirty-ffth district Is source of great worri-
ment to them. John has dealt them many
severe blow on the stump and in court.
Ed Peterson, the Democrat who is making
the first ward ring these days, is concededlV
the next state senator from the Thirty third
district.
w: B. Hennessy is one Of the Democratic
candidates whose election no one questions.
When he takes his seat IN the house. to rep
resent the Ninth and part of the Eighth
ward, the district will have one of the ablest
representatives that ever represented dis
trict from this or any other county.
Louis D. Wilkes, the popular business man
OF the Seventh ward has his opponent for the
house beaten right from the start. 1t is
only question now just how large the ma
1orfty will be. The Seventh ward has an OBJ
portunity to show that it values somefhfno
else in Its representatives more than partisan
ship; and so Mr.. Wilkes will be in the next
house and will have Mr.. Stryker as his SEN
atorial associate.
Charles Kartak Democratic candidate for
county commissioner, will carry every ward
in the city except the First and Seventh. AS
campaigner he is whirlwind.
When the organ of the gang declared that
George l.. Bum was the peer of any Judge
who ever sat on the district court of this dis
trict 1t must have meant it. But whether or
no, the public at large know the statement is
true, and they will accordingly vote for Judge
Bum without regard to party. Judge Bunn's
record is brief but It is choice.
There is another Judge with a record ana
1t is not brief. Judge Willrich has one too
ana IT is one of utter dissatisfaction to four
out OF nVe persons VINO have had business in
his court for four years.
j. G. Michael is running well with his asso-
cate, being an equally good lawyer. affable
gentleman, and Just as acceptable to the bar
as Judge Bum.
Jaggard may dance his way to the bench,
put 1t doesn't look that way Just now The
process OF trailing the ermine in the dust is
being carried out by him chiefly in obedience
to the demands of the gang co,,ntv oo-S,ao
ton.

gate, is fully equal. He will not confne him
