HOG RING VI. BULL RING.
Parting the Political Raimcnt---Apporsion
fng.the Patronage.
For month past the small politicians
have been exercised about the distribution
of the spoils in the organization of thu
prison and poor house boards. 1t will bt
remembered that at the last primary cleo
ton the Hog ring elected Amos Rutter and
John Horting, prison inspectors who &c
in to-day vice I. II. Shaeffer and Joseph
Samson, Bull ringers, who go out. This
makes the board stand four Hog ringers
to two Bull ringers, and gives
the former complete control OF
the patronage. In order to keep their
faction ''solid'' they have caucussed for
several weeks and have had great difficult
ty in satisfying the numerous claimants of
their faction. The clerkship has been
successivey promised to John Baker, Am
aziah G. Barr and Jere Cooper, of Bart but
finally boss Hog ringer said it must be
Cooper and it will be. Forthe other positions
there has been lively scramble, the only
thing certain up to this morning having
a
the present incumbcnts. but their success
sion is certain not to be fixed without ex-
citing some bad blood among the Hog ring
aspirants. They say DR.. Compton might
have saved his hair if he had not stuck to
Joe Samson

The Politicians.
The organization of these boards brought
quite Il number of politicians to town this
and there was a good deal of o
chatting about the hotels and on Barbary C.
Coast. On the presidential question Bull " -
ringers were found generally for Grant, 81
and Hog ringers for Blaine. 1t seems to Ii
be conceded that no primary election will
be called to choose state national dele
gates, and that the county committee will ..
select them in the Cameron interest &c
