In Greenwood county yesterday the
Democrats and Populists got together
and decided upon a county ticket, after
which each party held separate conven-
tons and each formally nominated the
ticket The ticket is as follows: Rep
resentative, Twenty ninth district, I. T.
Garrison; sheriff, j. A. Roner; county
treasurer = Braddock: county attor,
Mitchell; clerk district court Ed Bailey;
register of deeds, w. H. Gibson; county
superintendent. Chas. Reno: probate
Judge, C. H. Harrison: commissioner
First district, ]. H. Pegran.
T. L. Bond, of Salina, was nominated
by the Democrats of the Thirtieth ju-
dictal district for judge in their conven-
ton at Ellsworth yesterday He is a
Populist and will be also nominated by
the Populists next week The Republic
can nominee is r. r. Rees. of Mime
apolis. 1t is said that there will be a
close fight. although the district is nor
mally Republican by a small ma iority.
The trouble is that Ellsworth county,
which furnishes the principal Republic
can majority in the district, is disaffect-
ed because Of the defeat of a home can
. didate in the Republican judicial con-
vention. There was a deadlock and it
is claimed that the nomination finally
went to Rees as the result of deal, al
though Ottawa county has had the
judgeship for the past thirteen years
Saline county will probably give Bond
about the same ma jority that Ottawa
county gives Rees. Lincoln county is
normally fusion by about 100 ma iority
while Ellsworth county is normally Re-
publican by about 300. T1is leaves
net ma ority of 200 for Bond to over
IF the diS9 ffeofinr1 n
county is serious enough to affect 100
Republican voters Bond may be elected.
The district has never had anything but
a Republican judge.
1t is understood that w. II Mackey.
whom Senator Burton has endorsed for
United States marshal will make no
Changes in the deputies or clerks in his
Office, but will continue those appointed
by Marshal Crum.
1t is understood that when w. J.
Bailey meets w. H. Craddock for the
first time at Circleville next Friday,
they will by mutual agreement talk
upon the taxation problem. This is Mr.
Cradd0ck's hobby, but Mr..~Bai1ey also
has few ideas along that line. He
will probably show that Craddock's
ideas are largely met by the new tax
bill
If Barney Sheridan is nominated for
the legislature by the fusionists of
Miami county, as it is reported he will
be. 1T will make legislative race second
in interest only to that in AtchisoD
county. The Republican candidate will
be Major J. B.. Remington, VINO was
elected two years ago by majority of
only one. Major Remington is a close
Miami Republican, who is leading the
| fight on T. T. Kelly, Republican candi
| date for state treasurer. Sheridan, on
the other hand, is a close friend OF
Kelly, and his paper, the Paola Spirit
| is Kellys home organ, although Dem
| ocratic paper. If Sheridan runs against
Remington there will be a peculiar mix
up. Kelly's friends will probably sup
port Sheridan, but there may be enough
Populists who will bolt Sheridan to
more than offset Kellys support. Sheri-
| dan fought the Populists for years, but
| is now supporting fusion. The Populists
Judge S.. r. Peters, of Newton, who
| formerly represented the Seventh dis
| trict in congress. is working on the
problem of redistricting the state into
| eight congressional districts. The plan
| generally considered is to form the new

part of the state. Judge Peters plan is
| to form the districts approximately of
