TOWNSHIP POLITICS.
A List of Gentlemen Who Would Like to
Fill the Trustees Office.

The time for holding the township conventions
is little more than month away, and the candi-
dates seeking nomination are making the most
of the time. Since the withdrawal of AL Taffe,
the station house turnkey, under fear that he
would be deposed from his present position for
transgressing the provisions of section II of the
metropolitan police law, the Republican candi-
dates for trustee who are figuring most conspicu-
ousy are: George P. Woods, Joseph r. Forbes,
the ex-deputy marshall Robert G. Williamson,
ex-chief of police, and Derk DeRuiter, ex-alder-
man. Williamson is one of the sanitary police
men, and is also embarrassed by the Metropolitan
police law, which prohibits members of the force
from taking amy active part in politics. Although
he has not entirely abandoned his candidacy, he
has been forced to cease making an active can

The Democratic committee will meet on Sat

HEws FROM AUSTRALIA.

The Oriental and Occidental steamship
Australia, which arrived in San Francisco
Tuesday from Australia, brings Sydney
dates to January 8, 1884.
The Herald OF December 9th says An
exploring party, under the leadership of
Charles Winnicke, an experienced ex.
plorer and bushman, has just made sue
cessful journey through large portion OF
unknown country in the interior of Aus
tralia. The party was provided with
camels and horses, but the latter were
never required. Mr.. Winnicke made
start from Cowarrie station, on the War.
burton river, in latitude 2S', and trsversed
the country to the north as far as latitude
27', etfectipg a connection with previous
explorations near Goyder's Pillars. A
most remarkable natural feature in the
Taiiton range was discovered by Mr.. Win
nicke during his Herbert river explora.
tions. Several long stages without water
were encountered few days after the
party left Cowarrie station, and distance
Of from 200 to 800 miles had to be trav-
ersed across the highest sand ridges in
Australia before water could be again OBJ
tanned. The camels behaved nobly,
although carrying immense loads
weighing between 700 and 500 pounds
each. The party had recovered sutfi.
GENTLY in two days to make the second
stage of about $50 miles without water.
Many more long stages of between 100 and
200 miles without water were travelled,
and although the leader was far from well
during the greater part of the time the
discipline and order of the party were such
as to prevent the occurrence of any mishap.
In many instances the sand ridges. which
were from 800 to 400 feet high, and very
steep, had to be crossed at right angles.
Two large rivers and an extensive range
were discovered near the Queensland
boundary, and altogether Mr.. Winnicke
succeeded in mapping about 10000 square
miles of unknown country, which will help
to fill in another large blank space on the
map of Australia.
The death of F. W. Meymott, barris-
ter, at one time prominent figure in the
social and professional life of the colony, is
announced.
