sui. He is to lead widow, Mrs. Bispham,
to the altar soon. Oae wonders why such

even in his age Mr.. Booker is better
parti than many younger man, and
doubtless ere this many woman had laid
siege to his reputed hard heart, which.
however, seems TO have a soft place in it
even yet. Quite a little sensation WAS
caused by the finding of the erewhile mill
ionaire, Johnny Skae, drunk and disor-
derby on the street from whence he was
taken to lodge at the expense of the city
for night in default of SIS bail, which

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
|
As it stands to-day, is enc full of victory
and quiet walking over for the Republicans.
although the knowing ones say-aye, and
even among stanch Republicans-th the
Democrats had very fair showing to
carry the town. But the Democracy is
now united and as a house divided
against itself cannot stand, so they, by
| factions and ceaseless chickering's, have
! divided and quarreled, until now their
chances are in the minority. The Yo-
semites and Manhattans have consolidated
after drawn battle, not of their own free
will, however, but driven to the act by an
artful maneuver of the State Central
Committee, which threatened to appoint a
! Democratic Convention of eighty delegates
unless the rival parties should come to an
amicable understanding, which they did.
| There are six candidates for Mayor, six for
County Clerk, five for Recorder, four for
County Attorney, and the District Attor-
neyship is a fight between Walter Levy,
j. ID. Sullivan and Leander Quint. For
Public Administrator three candidates, and
for Superintendent Of Streets Drumm and
McVicker hold the field. For Coroner

and still they come. Nevertheless, in adj
