ELECTIONs.-The coming electons-special
in the city and general in the county-promise
to be both warm and interesting. The election
to fill vacancies in the City Council will, Of
course be Invested, rs it should be, of political
feeling. Politics do not, or at least should not,
enter into the doings or actions of our City
Council. Men should be chosen simply with
a view to their qualifications for the duties to
be performed.
The names of Jack Winter and DR.. Taggart
are being freely used, by the friends Of each,
as candidates for the office Of Mayor. But as
Mayor Wilson has no idea oc either dying or
resgning, the agitation of the claims of either
gentleman will hardly excite much inter-
est until next Spring
For AldermaD-Dr c. D. Gordon and Hon.
". a. Greene are either authoritatively or in
formally announced Either gentleman would
do credit to the constituency.
Ward L. Smith, Esq, is candidate for AL
derman in the Second Ward He will proba-
bly, have an opponent before the goth proximo.
For Judge Of the County Court-A. G.
Hodges, the present incumbent, is a candidate
for reelection. We have heard Of no other
asprant for the position.
Jacob G. Lynch is a candidate for the Office
of County Clerk. He is the present Deputy
under J. Q. Harmon, and an efficient one, too
But H. will probably contest the race with him.
Leverne Marchillon and James F. McRite
are candidates for the Office Of Associate Jus.
tice, at the coming fall election.
N. Hunsaker is candidate for reelection to
tie Office Of County Treasurer. He is we'll
qualified for any position he aspires to- and an
acknowledged gentleman in the bargain.
