is now one Of the most absorbing questions
among the I" ms" and the I" outs." Since
mentioned this matter before, . new caDdi-
date has made his appearance 'on the scene
Of action. The friends Of G.. p. Kane are
urging his claims upon the citizens for their
suffrage, and the position Of Sheriff. The
three candidates now in the held are August
Albert, g. p. Kane, Thos. w. Morse. It 10
not yet known who the Republics candidass
will be, and it il not even certain that tAsy
will run any. OF the candidates running.
Augustus Albert, has the inside truck am

Auential friends, and will, no doubt, give

ton. Thos. w. Morse relies on the working
men Of the party for his nomination. Whss
action the workingmen will take In regard 10
the Sherifality, would be premature to sur
mise. But should any movement b stsssd
on them in advance they should bs prepared
to meet it, by having In their minds eye,
snch men as stood by them in the hour Of
need. Thos. W. Morse goes before them
with Q clear record, was their friend and
champion in the late Legislature, and Ia the
only one Of the aspirsnts for the ONCE who
has 10 any way identified himself with the
workiDgman's movement. He IL in every
way competent FOR the cfiice, and in the ab-
sence Of a straight out workingman's ticket,
he is entitled to their support in the next
primary election. II the workingmen be true
70 themselves, Thos. w. Morse or, some
other workingman win be our next Sheriff.
