nominated by acclamatton. Aside from
the nominations for sheriff, judges and
register Of deeds, which last mentioned
nomination is conceded to William
| Platte, Of the Eighth ward, the nom
| nations will be settled by the conven-
| tion and there are several candidates
mentioned for each office.
FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
The county nominations will be made
first, and as soon as the county ticket
is completed the legislative nominations
will be taken up. Owing to the weak
ness of many of the Republican nom
inees there are many aspirants for the
nominations for both the upper and
lower house III certain districts. In the
Thirty-third sena torial district, COM
prising the First and Second wards.
Edward Peterson will probably secure
the nomination, although Louis Betz
has been mentioned for the place.
Two candidates are out for the nom
| ination in the Thirty fourth district
Richard w. McNamee wants it and so
does Henry Haas. Both candidates raa
| strong in the district in the city cleo
ton two years ago and each feels GER
tain that he could be elected over the
| Republican candidate.
The fight in the Thirty-fifth district,
! the Fifth and Sixth wards, is between
| Samuel Dearing and John H. Ives. Mr..
Ives claims the Fifth wards twenty
| six votes, while Mr.. Dearing claims to
have the twenty-four votes of the Sixth
ward unity.
The Thirtysevsnth district, embra-
cling the Tenth, Eleventh wards and
the country, presents Pierce Butler and
| F. H. Enerbe as candidates. Mr.. But
Ter appears to have the majority Of
the delegates, but Mr.. Ellerbe con-
siders his chances for the nomination
| favorable
AS far as could be learned last even
! ing no candidate had declared himself
| for the nomination for the house of
representatives from the First ward
and, unless one springs up IN the con-
vention today, the place will be filled
by the county committee. Charles
Liederman seems to have no opposi-
ton in the Second ward, and in the
1nlrQ WdTu the IIdy 80 "
| Patrick Conley.
There is no doubt about John O'Con-
nor's nomination in the Fourth ward
without a struggle.
| Phillip Martin, w. H. Ulmer and
Peter Van Hoyen are looking for the
nomination in the Fifth. The chances
! appeared to favor Mr.. Ulmer last even
| ing.
In the Sixth ward there is no oppo-
| sition to Albert l.. Graves, and he will
| probably get the nomination by unani-
| nous choice
The nomination for the Eighth ward
and that part of the Ninth lying south
| of the tracks will go to W. B. Hennes-
| sy without a contest, while in the
Eighth ward and that part of the Ninth
| north of the tracks Thomas Martin
| will probably have no opposition. For
the district in the Eighth ward west
| of Western avenue George F. Umland
| is the only candidate.
| Legislative candidates from the
