The misunderstanding OF this city continues
10 excite interest and discussion among tue
Republicans. and for some time IL has oeon
n matter Of consideration ut their warn
meetings. In The Third Ward mteling Ias,
night Mr.. J. a. Van Auken was enuo'seo
for the position. In tue second Wafo leso-
luliops endorsing him were defeated. "hc.
Their or not these endorsaions by po'iilca'
clubs will amount to anything Is matter
Of doubt. Personal effort and influence
with the appointing power WIN houolless
effect he most good in The end. One thing
however, seems 10 be settled as wen as any
thing in poltics can be settled, and that ~
that the Republicans here favor slTaigni'
out ticket in the State election OF this year
In municipal matters they cannot snow
their hands, as We have no city ohcefs 10
elect this spring. .,..,.
The receipts OF loose tobacco tb'S week
have been largely IN excess OF any "eeh
since the holidays. The quality, however,
is mostly of nondescript character. Good
tobaccos command ready sale at satisfactory
prices.
