will elect those who wiH go to the
various conventions.
Ex-Governor Waller makes short
work with the Illness yarn about his
running for congressman-at-large.
Thorough work, too. It really is bet

know so many things that amt So

Judge Peasley has circulated a pam

the situation in the third" Only the
elect have been invited to this meet
ing and as the lin-elect have heard Of
it there are already loud grumbIngs.
The latter want to know why they
should be shut out, and there are, there
fore. promises of fun when the third
ward republicans hold their caucus.
Attorney Charles q. Meigs has also
been mentioned for one OF the repre-
sentatives. who with Captain Carter
makes the third man mentioned for the
two places on the representative ticket,

There seems to be a feeling In the re-
publican camp this year that it will
be merely a matter of form to nominate
candidates, for everything points to q
democratic victory all along the line.
Another man very often mentioned
for one of the representatives on the
ticket is Kelly, the baker.
tfhe republicans could hardly pick up
d more popular candidate, but Mr. Kel-
~ has not been heard from on the
matter, it is said. 1t Is a matter OF

Attorney Bauby is warming in the
contest for the republican nomination
for judge Of probate. The delegates
to that convention were ffafdly nom
mated last night when he was close
on their heels looking for promises to
stand by him. Mr. Bauby says that
when he considers what he has done
for his party during the few past cleo
tons and what his party has done for
him in return, he feels like throwing
stones at himself and the fellows that
run the conventions. 1t must be said
to his credit that in the campaign 9
fe years ago he dug out of the district
court records 300 names of men quail
fed to become voters and he succeed
ed in having the greater number OF
them made" Such work as this and
the way he has been treated in return
Is what makes his blood boil. e = 4.
