Politics in Steubenville is becoming
interesting. The leaders are all at sea as
to the result of the election next Monday.
They have utterly failed to make an esti-
mate satisfactory either TO themselves or
anyone else. They don't know how
many Democratic votes will be polled or
how many Republican. The reason of
all this uncertainty Is the organization
of the National party. The wire pullers
neither can ascertain how many votes it
will poll or which party it will draw
most heavily from. That they will poll
a good vote Is beyond question. Nobody
denies that. But we don't think it will
be large enough to win anything mate
rial. They hold about this relation in our
politics this year: If they draw from the
Republican party very largely it will elect
the major part OF the Democratic ticket,
and rice versa. Possibly they themselves
will elect councilman in the Sixth
ward. The Democrats have some very
good men IN the field, the most notable
being Charles McMillen for Marshal and
John Shouse tor Justice Of the Peace.
These two stand the best chance for cleo
lion, from the fact that their opponents
on the Republican side are very weak.
A big fight will take place on Water
WORKS Trustees. The Republican nom
inees are sssslled by the Democracy on
the ground that they are part and parcel
of a ring that has had control of that in
stitulion for number of years. One OF
the Democratic nominees for that office,
Alexander Hebron, is on the National
ticket for the same po-
sltion. James j. Robinson is also
the nominee of both of these parties for
Councilman in the Fourth ward. We
predict the city officials will be consider.
ably mixed as regards politics. Some
will be Democrats, some Republicans
and possibly some Nationals. Splitting
will be the order of the day among our
electors next N ondsy, and i. will surely
result in benefit TO the city, for good men
will most likely he chosen 10 fill all the
offices irrespective of party. We hope
so, at least.
