Politics in the Republican party IN
this city is intensely interesting. There
are five patriotic individuals who are
anxious to serve the people in the cspa-
city of City Marshal, four as Township
Treasurer, two as Township Trustee, two
as Justice of he Peace and Six as Coun-
cimen. Some OF them have an idea that
sll they have to do is TO secure a nomin-
alton on the Republican ticket and they
are sll o. X, bu! we lmsglne that some OF
them will swskes up the morning after
the general election and frd they have
reckoned wrongly. There is going to be y
revolution in the politics Of SteubenvilIe
this spring. The people are H.
clined TO choose oysters for their worth
and not their politics. From the out
look at present, some OF the fortunate
ones will be Republicans, some Demo
crats and some Independents. This is the
popular feeling, ard if it is carried out
will do more good for Steuoenvills than
anything else possibly could.
