SEVENTH WARD.
The statesmen of the Seventh are |
puzzled as to the manner In which |
the JOURNAL gets down to their
workings. They should not worry |
over that, as we have large ears and |
hear the least whisper.
There is some talk of bringing a
young man out for magistrate, which |
we think would be good move.
In any city convention, if we WORK,
we can have ninety delegates, ten
from the Seventh ward, seven from
the Eighth, four from the Fifth, five
from the Fourl eenth, six from the
Twenty seventh, or in fact out of the
thirty-one wards there is not one but
where we could make a successful
fight. Among the candidates men |
toned are Frank J. r. Jones, Isaiah
Wears and Joseph Hill. Any one of
these named could command the
strength Of the colored voters. We
hope the people will not let this
matter drop, tor if they should fail in
securing the nomination it would
still be a gain to them in showing
what strength we have when we
work in unison.
William Wilson. of the Tenth divi-
sion, has been appointed Waterman
in the new postcffice. Billy has been
well taken care of, aud should he |
abuse this place, as he did his last
one. there will be no one to blame
but himself.
Tom Williams is an aspirant for |
the police force,
Dave Che ster, of the Fourth divi
sion, would like to 60 in the mint.
Jerry Ford wants to be sergeant Of
police. jerry is too new.
Cherry Parker, of the Fifth divi-
sion, is one Of the jury in the trial of
Emma BickIe for the murder of VIM.
Mennow.
9. Burner Jones, of the First divi- |
sion, is one of the leading lights |
there, and is an able assistant of H.
Stockbridge Scott.
Major Teagle has aspirations for
the Legislature, but lie might as well
subdue them as he will never make it.
AL. Bettencourt says he is out of
politics, but we can hardly believe it.
Taking all 10 all the boys of the
seventh have got an eye to the future.
FIFTH WARD.
Pete Robinson has been appointed
ianitor to the Sixth street school.
Pete has always been an active worker
for years and his appointment is no
more than justice to him. Much
credit is due John Davis for the in
terest that he showed in Pete's cleo
ton.
Samuel Johnson is the greatest
sporting man in the ward. He is
willing to indulge in anything from
a bulldog fight down TO a social game |
of cards.
Andrew James is working hard in |
the interest of the NJ. S. Quay clubs |
reception, which will be given on the
18th. Andrew is master of ceremO-
MES and is quite an adept in that |
line.
Joseph Marshall made a gallant |
fight for the janitorship of the Sixth |
street school. We wish him better
luck next time
