CHANCE FOR A SPLIT
PopuIiSts Will Make an Effort
for Probate Judge.
ABOUT GIVEN UPATTORNEY
Chas. Morgan and Geo. carp
for Representatives.
GIVEN UPATTORNEY

While both sides maintain that Their,
viii be no trouble over the division of tn,
offices at the Democratic and Populis
Conventions to be held today, there vii
not be smooth sailing by any means, ant
trouble is liable to break out at the
slightest provocation- 1t appears now
that about the only office over which
there is likely to be a dispute is probate
Edge, although some of the Democrats
are still in for throwing James Comfy
down for county attorney for the reason
that his partner, Sam Amidon, has been
IN that stall Of the public crib for four
Years. But whether this fight viii get
far in the Democratic camp is problemati-
cal at present The Populists seem to be
Satisfied to concede the count attorney
to the Democrats and if there is to be
any trouble 1t is to be from the Demo-
cratic side of the fence. What the Popu-
lists will insist on, however, is probate
judge, and to get this they will be will
ing to sacrifice the county superintendent
nomination and the county commissioner.
The Democrats are equally as persistent
TO maintain the usual division, which
would give them county attorney and
probate judge, and if the latter place is
10 be eliminated from their ticket it
won't be done without a small sized po-
litic&l scrap.
r. N. Piatt, Judge McCanIess and D.
3. Crewson are the three Democrats who
are after the place. and if it goes to the
Democrats, it will be a pretty race. In
fOrma ton from one of the leaders of
Sedgvrick county Democracy leads to the
belief that Piatt is leading. If the Popu-
lists succeed in carrying out their plans
regarding the division, FRANC highs
wonger will probably get the nomination
for probate Judge. Judge Stratton is also
a candidate. The Populists claim that
they don't want city representative or
couny commissioner for the reason that
neither can be elected. The Democrats
don't want commissioner either, but
would accept representative, and it is
generally conceded that the latter place
will be Democratic. George carp is
spoken of and his friends who have been
urging his candidacy say he will get it.
Chas. Morgan is another Democrat whom
the Populists claim will get the nominal
ton. Morgan has been in politics for
some time. He is a barber
For county commissioner ]. Giles Smith
backed by Colonel ToIer. Vic Cole and a.
few more Tammany braves, and A. B.
Moore Of the stock yards are the Demo-
cratic candidates. Moore's friends claim
he is the lead horse while Giles claims
equal show. The Democrats, getting city
representative, are liberal enough to
turn commissioner over to the Populists
If it will be accepted. and in the event
that they do. Whitney Tucker will be the
candidate.
Inc senatorial race, while not in the di-
vision difficulty, is going to be a hard
fought political contest and the nomina-
ton of any Of the candidates viii causa
no surprise and but very little commo-
Slon. The Populists get this office and the
candidates are James Tapp. Deacon VIII
son and S. A. Miller. Tapp's claim Is
that he has a big majority in the city.
but Wilson's friends promise a SURPRISE
when 1t comes to a test. Every indfca-
ton points that the race is between Tam
and Wilson.
The nomination for clerk of the district
court will go to the PopuIists and there
are three candidates, Chas. GOODYEAR
Fred Williams and George c. Rogers.
This viii be a close race. GOODYEAR is !
the present deputy clerk.
