 The Tucson Post is now handling the politics of Pima county. The Star and Citizen occasionally have friend ly bout. but the Post keeps close to the news feature of politics, winch al ways attracts the most attention. In its last issue the Post gives the follcw- ing resume for the week:
 The gossips, who were everywhere for district attorney, immediately after the withdrawal of Mir. Cooper. seem to have setteled upon a single candidate in each party. It is conceded that the old party workers, who pledged the democratic nomination this year to Charles Blenman at the convention two years ago, xill stand by their promises and support him in the con- vention. Blenman is lining them up on his side and in his own mind does not fear opposition. Blenman has the sup port of Rochester Ford and it is ru- mored that these two genti snen will withdraw threatened opposition to other candidates for nomination on the democratic ticket. if the latter Will withdraw their opposition to Blenman 1t is conceded that Blenman will have strong support in the ranks of the sporting element. Roscoe Dale is still favorable mentioned as the proba- ble republican nominee and although he has not announced his candidacy, it is said that he is sizing up the sltu- ation and come out if no strong opposi- tion develops. Early this week. ru- mors were rife that dark horse lad entered the field and would make fight for the nomination. The name of this new candidate has bFen kept quiet but it is said that he is promi- nent young attorney with omces not far from he court house.
 '-E. F.. Shrine. who has been now on one side of the fence and now on the other when it was question or com ing out for some office on the republi- can ticket, has made a positive state ment that he will. under no circum- stances. be a candidate for county treasurer or any other office. He will continue to be plain Farmer Shrine. although he expects to work for the party during the fall camjaign.
 It. was currently reported among the politicians this week that Roches- ter Ford wanted Chas. Blenman to run for Probate Judge and in that case that Thos. D. Satterwhite would be a candidate for district attorney on the democratic ticket. W. F. Cooper ieft for a two months vacation and select ed Judge Satterwhite to act in h1s place and this set the tongues to wag- eing. Judge Blenman denied the ru' nor. and stated that in any event, he would be a candidate for district at torney. Judge Satterwhite also ent' cred an emphatic denial of the rumor that he would be candidate for dls- rict attorney on the democratic ticket.
 Late this week it became generally known that Benton Dick was the dark horse whose name has been mentioned as a candidate for the nomination for district attorney on the republican ticket
 Harry Crankshaw is to be the rail road candidate for the democratic nomination for city recorder this fall. Tom Conlon. who gave away to Nat Hawke, it is said, will also be candi date and has the backing of Amos O'Keefe. A lively scrap is expected if both of these men try for the nomina- ton in tn city convention.
 Tt has been currently reported on the street that Geo. W. Cheyney would be a cndidate for the republican nomi- nation for Probate Judge. MT. Chey- ney is non-cimmittal. but it is under stood that he is in the hands of his friends and that he will try for the nomination if they deem it wise and so desire Many were sorry to see MT. Cheyney lose the post office, al though the appointment of J. Knok Corbett has proven a popular one and for this reason MT. Cheyney is being urged by some of his closest friends to come out for Probate Judge and make the race He would have the support of some of the leading party workers, and the fight between Chey- ney and Richey for the nomination will be an interesting one. Richey has already declared himself and is working in the party to secure the nomination. Either man, if nomina- ted, will make a good run and the prospects for the republicans captur- ing this ofice seem bright in view of the fact that two strong candidates are aready in the field.
