remain remarkably quiet, though the city
election is but three weeks away. There is
prevalent desire for and apparently uni
versal scquiescence in the retention oil
Mayor Hatch for another year. lie IS an
attentive and capable Mayor, and no party
| or personal interest is calling for change.
The Mayor question may be considered
practically settled.
On Aldermen there is more discussion.
In the First Ward, Elihu D. Taft, Esq is
perhaps most talked of as successor to
Alderman Rumsey, who it is understood
does not desire a reelection.
In the Second Ward. DR.. Vincent, who
has given SO much valuable service to the
city in past years, is understood to be
willing to accept a reelection and the
Republicans of the ward will doubtless be
glad to retain him. 1t would be mistake
to do otherwise.
The Third Ward is hopelessly delivered
over to the Democracy, and the only live
question will be between Democrats. They
are not so scarce in the Ward that one Dem
ocrat need hold both the Offices of Alderman
and School Commissioner, a. is now done
by Mr.. Oliver Verran.
In the Fourth Ward the term OF Joseph
Chauvin expires this Spring. Joseph is
personally well liked and has many friends,
who would like to re-elect him. Some other
strong names, such a. those of Gen. j. l..
Barstow, DR.. L. NJ Bingham and F.
Johonnott. are good deal talked of. The
Republican margin in the Ward IL not
very large one, and 1t behooves the Repub-
Leans to CANVASS the situation carefully.
and put up their best man. With a
judicious nomination they can carry the
Ward.
10 the Fifth Ward. Alderman Taylor
should beyond question be his own sue
ce.sor As chairman Of the Street Depar.
ment, he has done an immense amount of
valuable land unpaid work, in the city.
He is thoroughly posted in the work anc in
the plans for the future, and no man can
take his place without damage to the public
interest. This fact is very generally recog-
nizsd and there is no q uestion but that Mr..
Taylor will be renomiDated and reelected.
School Commissioners are to be elected in
place OF II. o. Wheeler. whose term expires
and who has removed from the Second
Ward, of Rev. l.. G. Ware in the Fourth,
and L l. Lawrence who has removed his
residence for the time being from
the Fifth Ward There is we believe
universal desire Tor Mr. Wares re-
election, and it Is the more I'M
portsnt in view OF the loss to the Board Of
two such valuable members as Mr.. Lawrence
and Mr.. Wheeler. We trust that frst-rate
men will be selected to succeed these gen.
tlemen At present public opinion has not
centred on any names with sufficient posi-
tiveness to ,ndieata the probable preferences,
