LOOKS LIKE WICKERSHAM.

All indications now point that James Wickersham will be the nomi- nee for Delegate from Alaska on the straight Republican ticket. For some time rumors have been prevalent that the Delegate was flirting vigorously with his first love, and that he would gladly accept the nomination, pro- yided it was rendered him in the pro- per spirit.
 From Republican primary returns at Juneau it now looks as though Shackleford had things we'll in hand, and that Wickersham delegates will be elected by the voters. Wicker sham Is the logical man for the nomi- nation, and in fact, the only hope of the Republican party, as it would be impossible to get a man to defeat him among the miners in the interior.
 If Wickersham is nominated at Seward, and he undoubtedly will be, his chances of election are almost certain. The Republican party, how ever, is so badly divided, that it will be hard for the political bosses to gather up the loose ends and keep the members of this party in line for any candidate.
 ,Alaskans may look forward to a red hot campaign, as Wickersham has many bitter enemies and also many warm friends. His election by the Republicans, however, would give him much greater prestige in Con- gress than if he ran independent, and would settle for all time the political atatus of Alaska's Delegate.
