Mn.wAUKEE, Nov. 22.-Quiet reigus once
more in the city of brick and beer The
election is a thing Of the past aud with many
misguided Republicans fair bank accounts
have also become sweet "reminiscences. Bets
have generally been paid with no more than
the usual amount of ''squealing," aud win
ners and losers have turned their attention to
the regular programme Of existence
Last Monday Ed. Sanderson paid $1,000 to
Meyer Friend, of the well-known clothing
house of Friend Bros, to fulfil the terms of
bet on New York state. a few days be-
fore election Friend offered $50 TO anybody
who would bring 10 him Blaine
mau who wanted TO be- $1,000
on New York state Ed. Silvermann
who receives mention further on in this let
ter Immediately sought Mr.. Sanderson and
brought him to Mr.. Friend, thus earning $50
in short order. Several DAYS afterelectionwhen
the Republicans were making their loudest
claims of success Mr.. Friend weakened and
offered $500 TO anybody who would assume
the bet, but no man of grit was present at
the time TO capture the prize. So Friend
won, and is now the possessor of 81, 200 of
Sanderson's hard dollars, minus an amount
necessary to cover a bill for a generous sup
ply Of champagne for the boys.
DIVIDING THE COUNTY CAKE.
The newspapers are already appointing as
sistants for the new board of county officers
elected on the Attn inst. Peter Van Vechten,
who was Paschen's chief competitor for the
nomination for the shrievalty, is named as
Paschen's under sheriff vice John ". Dun
lap, who, although Republican, has served
two years under Sheriff Rugee, a Democrat.
IL is stated that Chris. Paulus, reelected
clerk of the courts, will retain Max Gerlach
and c. F. Hunter, his present deputies, and
Nick Treis, the copying clerk. John f e.
dred, elected register of deeds, will, it is
said, name VIM. Schmidt, the present
draughtsman in the city engineers Office, as
deputy register. Mr.. Schmidt has been in
the engineers Office for the past hfteen
years. None Of the Ave subOrdinates in the
registers Office are named for re-appOint-
ment. "Hr' II. ETerts, the present deputy
county treasurer, will prob ably be reap
pointed by Treasurer-elect Corrigan. Mr..
Everts has held his position under Democrat
and Republican, and seems to be an abso-
lutte necessity in the treasurer's office. Louis
(. Mathews will be reappointed deputy
county clerk by Mr.. Traeumer, and County
Surveyor Reivertsen viii reappoint his pres
ent force. Coroner Fricke will retain Henry
OFT as keeper of the mOrgue.
WHAT THE CAKE is WORTH.
The Office of sheriff, the most prominent
one in the county, is worth $4,000 a year.
The under sheriff receives 81, 500, the book
keeper $1,000, and the deputies 81 ZOO a
year. These are all appointed by the sheriff,
and few of them except the under sheriff
ever hold Office longer than two years at a
time. At present the district attorney draws
a salary of So, 500 per year, but next year,
owing to decree of the county board of su-
pervisors, the stipend will be 81, 900, an in
crease of $500. Sometimes the public prose-
cutor pays his own clerk hire and sometimes
the county board, in fit of generosity, votes
to pay it. Many prominent tax
payers are in favor of making
the salary OF this Office $4,000 or
$4,000, so that first cless lawyers will run for
the office. The latest office in the county is
that of register OF deeds. It is an exceed
ingly frigid year when the incumbent of this
Office, after paying all his help, cannot pocket
a cool IS, 900, making sic, 600 for a single
term. The salary of the office of clerk of the
courts is So, 900 per year, and at least 81, 900
more is received in fees. The incumbent,
however, must pay his own clerk hire. AT
present the county clerk and his deputy di-
vide $500 as they may decide. Last No
vember the supervisors increased the salary
to 81, 500, which increase will take effect in
January. The county treasurer receives
81, 500 per year, out of which he must pay
his deputy. The earnings of the county sur
veyor, who is paid in fees, is somewhat un
certain, but it is thought the incum BEN
makes over 1000 a year, after paying his
attendants. The annual salary of the coro-
ner is 81, 500.
