COUNTY politics have assumed a definite
shape within the last few weeks. All the
candidates likely to ''come up this fall
for county offices have announced them
selves and presented their claims to the
people, with the exception of the state
senate. For treasurer Gottlieb DAIMLER,
the present incumbent, has apparently a
walkaway. No one as yet appearing to
contest the honors with him. For sher-
iff, the present under sheriff M. II. Muir
ply, and Mr.. Wieboldt, are aspirants.
For county clerk, Henry Buhse, of Two
Rivers, Albert Becker of this city, and
W. F. Albers of Centerville. For dis
trict attorney there is a sharp though
friendly contest between the present dis
trict attorney A. J. Schmitz and w. A.
Walker. Both have held Office and have
been very efficient. For assembly, the
candidates are too numerous to men,

The attacks of the Tribune on Mr..
Richter are in rather bad taste and show
that the editor of that paper does know
the real character Of the gentleman he
criticises. Mr.. Richter is a thoroughly
independent man, and one who forms
his opinions from the facts which come
to his understanding and not at the die
tates of any party. He is republican
although a supporter of Hancock. But
he is man whom no party can own to
the extinction of his own judgment. He
hopes for nothing from either party, in
deed has not the first qualification of o
successful politician and knows it.

The mate of the sooner Arrow when
in Milwaukee states that Captain Ed
wards of the tug Com. Mutt, asked an
extortionate price for towing him into
the harbor, and it was so published in
the Milwaukee papers. Perry Edwards,
the captain of the tug, says he asked but
$40 for towing him in during the storm,
but told the mate that the vessel was
perfectly safe where it was at anchor, and
that in the morning he would tow him in
at the regular rates. Not only this but
he brought men out to man the schoon-
er if it was thought necessary to have
additional help and paid them out of his
own pocket. 1t was also very unsafe
going out III the storm.
