The Saint Paul globe., 1898-07-23

understood that in the division of the
offices on nationality lines in both par
ties the nomination for auditor shall be
given to a representative Irishman, and
that will land Fitzgerald for the Re
publican and let T. F. Martin in for
the Democratic nomination. Provid-
ed, of course, that Martin wants it. He
was willing to take the nomination a
short time ago. but it seems that there
has been a good deal of pressure
brought to bear on him to again run
for the legislature. He was the sole
Democratic preventative two years
ago. His district was gerrymandered,
but Martin is in the best end Of it. He
is in the district consisting of por-
ton of the Ninth and Eighth wards
on the west side of the tracks on
Wabasha and Rice. and it is believed
that he can beat any Republican who
is put up against him. Hence his dis
position to let the authorship go and
stay in his district.
Ed Rogers has been notified of oppo-
sition to his denomination Former
Sheriff Charlie Chapel, who has been
living out at Forest Lake is coming
back to run for the nomination-George
Irish having given up the fight for the
sheriff job Chapel had all sorts of
trouble two years ago within his own
party. and just how he is going to get
aboard is not clear, for the principal
support of the Irish Warner local fac
ton is bound UP with Rogers. His en-
try into the fight will just add pic
tureSqueneSS to it,
There will be plenty of candidates
both on the Republican and Demo-
cratic sides for shrievalty nomination
for the decision making the office one
of the fee class makes it a good thing
It is the best thing in the county--in
spite of the fact that the county could
not make it pay on a fee basis. There
is no one mentioned yet for the Demo-
cratic nomina ton but John Wagner,
and there are SO many Republicans
that they are not to be mentioned.
Maj. Libbey has the representative
Fourth ward crowd, the younger ele-
ment. Whether Tom Conroy can do
anything for Tim Reardon remains to
be seen.
Hiler Horton is out fat fer the nonli-
nation for the senate from the Fourth
and Seventh wards. Nick PottgieSer
wants the nomination also. C. F. Ar
rol wants try for it. 1t goes without
saying that Horton will have the Sew
enth ward. and Pottgieser has a fight
on his hands in the Fourth Billy
Bickel has appointed himself Nick's
political mentor. Mr.. Arrol is being
actively managed by Frank Krayen-
buhl and Fred Breen. and there you
are.
Over in the First ward Senator Tim
Sheehan wants to be renominated He
can be if he can keep out of the treas
urer mix-up. That is getting nasty and
MIR. Sheehan may have to chose be-
tween Lindahl and Arosin Both of
these gentlemen have intimated that
they would not turn down the nomi-
nation. There are couple of other
candidate, Charles Moberry and J. G.
Elmquist, but they are not much to be
reckoned with. Neither is Treasurer
Edmund. for the anri-third term
movement settles his business. The dis
trict represented by Senator Sheehan
consists of the First and Second wards,
but the First ward has the delegates
in convention and the delegates from
that ward nominate. Nobody in the
First has yet declared against Shee-
han, and if he can dodge the rocks he
will get through. w. w. Dunn. who
belongs in the Second. is not averse
to First ward combination to help a
candidate for treasurer IL he can be
helped to beat Sheehan, but he Is not
heavy weight.
The candidates of the legislative
nominations from the First are not 60
ing to mix with Sheehan's fight. for
that way lies danger. G. F. Wagner
has undertaken to beat Charles Wall
blom for the nomination. The latter
put in one session in the house six
years ago.
