BOoNvILLE, Mo-, March 81, 1883.
BOoDvilie is just now in the agonies OF
a city election You cannot step across q
street without hearing the anxious inquiry
who are you going to vote for, for this,
that and the other offices? ?" Neither Re-
publicans nor Democrats have held a city
convention, and SO the candidates are mix
I'd up in fire fight.
For mayor, John L. O'Bryan, the present
incumbent, will have a walk-Over. The
radicals may put up John c. Gross, presi-
dent Of the council, against him, but that
gentleman sees the handwriting on the
wall and will probably decline to be saeri-
feed, unless he is bulldozed by the bosses.
James II. Johnston was approached by the
RAIDS" and asked to run against OBryan,
but he most emphatically declined. Ex-
Mayor j. II. Gruelich was also asked 10
become candidate, but he refused. The
republicans have a most intense hatred for
OBryan, r his action in the municipal
contest last spring.
For register, DIR. F. Swap and David w.
Layton are candidates. DIR. Swap is the
present register, and will make a hard
fight to be reelected. Swap is most in
tense partisan, and will hold the
full republican strength. Layton is
a yourg democrat, and the young democra-
cy are out in force for him. 1t will be q
close contest.
For treasurer, Louis ii. Stahl and VIM.
Mittlebach are in the field. Mr.. Stab is
democrat, and Mittleback y republican.
There is no doubt Of StahPs election. Nit
ilebach bling only hallway q candidate.
For street commissioner, Nm. III. Harri.
son, democrat, Claus Stameijohn, radical
and A. z. Mckee, mixed, are the candi-
dates. Harrison has h. Id the office for the
past year and made first-ciass officer. He
will come under The wires three full lengths
ahead Of his competitors.
For city attorney, w G. Pendleton and
Geo. w. Acton, both democrats, are candi-
dates. ThOs. Il. Wright may pass as the
temperance candidate, but il is doubtful.
Peudleton has been carefully groOmed, has
good gait and will prove the winning
horse.
Will ]. Holman and Ed Short, both dem
Ocrats, want to be assessor, with the chances
in favor of Holman.
For city marshal, j. B.
Holland, X. F. O'Brien and HI. L. Wilson.
all democrats, are IN the field. The fight
is between Holland and O'Brien, with the
chances about even. In the first ward
James Mitchell, democrat, will probably
he selected councilman; in the second
the race will he close between Mr. Williams
democrat, and G. G. Bell. radical, with
Williams in the lead. In the Third ward,
Austin Speed, democrat, will be chosen.
In the Fourth ward, the fight will probably
be q very close one. In the Fifth ward, J.
II. johnson, democrat, will be selected.
In the Sixth ward, August Dengolesky,
republican, will be elected and at large. w
Speed Stephens, will carry off the prize,
provided Speed will run. To man "up a
tree" the above is about the way the fight
stands at present. Much, however, depends
on the way the colOred brother casts his
vote. The war between the Germans and the
negroes will lead most of the latter to vote
with the Democrats. Election occurs next
Tuesday, and from now till then the city
will be rrdolent of whiskey, and the candi.
dates will be the pOlitest imaginable.
