position there has been against his
candidacy is disa ppearng and that he
is assured of practically unanimous
nomination
DR.. j. w. Jones continues in the race
and his friends still declare that his
showing will be a surprise.
A. c. Harper yesterday declared that
he felt confident of not only receiving
the nomination but of being elected. He
places the number of delegates favor
able to his cause at an even 500. o. E.

be in the race until the end. ~. ,,s
There is an interesting three-cornered
fight for the nomination for city treas
urer on the Republican ticket between
H. c. Osborne, former United States
marshal; Fl. j. Shoulders and d. e.
bdTcldy, now III Lax SollSCtOI JoHil-
sons office and it is expected that 1t
will not be decided on the first bal
lot in convention.
May Fail of Endorsement
1t is possible that Leslie Hewitt, NOM
mated for city attorney by the nom
partisans, and Harry ]. Lelande, nomi-
mated by non-partisans to succeed him
self as city clerk, will fail to be nomi-
mated by the city convention, although
each confidently expects the honor.
George Beebe, also assistant city at
torney, is out for the nomination to
succeed Mr.. Mathews, and it is said
that a combination has been perfected
whereby he will secure the nomination.
Lelandes opponent will be Andrew
w. francisco, clerk in the superior
court, whose name has not been promi-
nently mentioned for the position until
the past day or two.
f. E. Johnson, the present tax COL
lector, is said on good authority to
have been assured of a denomination,
but w. B. Morgan, Vhe only other
avowed candidate, claims that he will
have a sufficient number of votes to
secure the nomination on the first bal
lot. Mr. Morgan entered the race when
Mr. johnson announced his candidacy
for county tax collector and has been
in the fight throughout.
