:, Politics is one Of those prosai

their faces indicating no more energy

With the city departments it was
different. The officers knew every
thing. Democrats were jubilant and
prophesied sweeping victory in Sep
ten,bsr. From one gentleman we
learned the names of the entries for
this contest. The states are made but
there seems to have been no thought
paid to black horses. The chalkers
have evidently forgotten in their haste
the liability of these stesds of circum
stances, kicking mature plans to film
ders and showing clear pair of heels
over the course.
For City Treasurer there are Mr..
George H. Robinette and Col. John C.
Farra. These are Democrats but bar
ring their progress to the tempting posi-
tion il the heavy figure of the present
incumbent, Francis Vincent, one of the
most popular men among the Republi-
cans. His success for reelection is as
sured.
For President of City Council there
are on the Democratic side Mr.. Isaac C.
Pyle; Adjutant General J. Park Postles
and Peter Brennan.
On the Republican side there is the
present incumbent, Mr.. M. L. Lichten
stein, who, having by the wise admin
istratiop of his duties made many
friends, will again BE- the nominee OF his
party. Mr.. Lichtenstein for President
of City Council and Francis Vincent for
City Treasurer, the Republicans we'll
may be confident of success in these
positions.
In the cOuncilmanic election there will
be twelve to chose.
The members whose terms of office
expire in September are as follows:
First ward-Dr. Alfred Walton; Sec
ond-Robert H. Taylor; Third-Saml
A. Price Fourth--Lewis Paynter;
Fifth-Henry Evans Sixth-Joseph
X. Adams Seventh-John Jones
Eighth-William B. Norton; Ninth
John Guthrie. Besides these, there
will be vacancies to be filled from the
Fifth, Ninth, Tenth and probably the
Fourth wards.
The Republicans have made no regu-
lar choice of candidates, and in fact
have taken but very little interest in
the contest.
In the First ward Mr.. Luther w.
Palmer, Thomas James and Merris Tay
lor have been spoken of. The Repub.
licans at present are undetermined
whether to run an opposition Messrs.
Thomas Johnson, Edward T. Bellah and
John V. Christy have all refused to bs
come the standard bearer.
In the Second Ward, Col. Robert II.
Taylor's term expires. He will run for
re election, and is looked upon as being
the strongest man in the Ward. VIM.
Ii. Quinn and William P. Windish are
also mentioned The Republicans are
passive.
The Third Ward is Republican, and
will probably send back either Mr..
Price, the present incumbent, or Mr..
Caleb T. Windle, who served in Coun.
ciI some time ago. Mr.. William H.
Blake will be the Democratic nomi-
nee.
In the Fourth Ward Mr.. Lewis Payn- .
.er will run for reelection. He will :
probably cause some trouble. as his re.
cent act in boiling the decision of the :
,aucus is severely condemned by the
party. Charles Severn foreman in the
hops at the foot of Third street, and
Mr.. George Abele, butcher, are also q
pOken of fayorably. The Republicans {
intend to run Mr.. John G Baker, i'll /
le will consent to permit the use of his I
Iame, about which he is at present uu- :
lecided. Mr.. Hart is the other mem i
,sr from this Ward and it is thought i
hat he will remove from the Ward to :
he Pepper property which he has late 7
y purchased in which case there will {
10 two Councilmen to elect instead of 4
ne.
There will also be two members to be
lected from the Fifth Ward. Mr.. Enoch
1ooro, Jr., having been chosen to sue >
eed Mr.. Aaron Conrad who died
t the close of the past year. Mr..
loore will be run by the Democrats. .
Igainst him will be Messrs. Alvin Allen, y
ames Carmichel and John w. Lawson. u
IN the Republican side Henry Evans y
'r the two years term and Allen CAV q
hrop tor the one year term have been q
hosen. y
In the Sixth ward James II. Price, IL
