usual excitement in Boonville. Political
matters, in view of the approaching city
election, are growing decidedly inter, sting.
The republican city committee, whoever
compose that body, have called a mass con-
vention of the republicans of BOOnville to
meet at the court house next "Wednesday
night TO nominate a city ticket. Notices to
this effect have been posted all over town,
and the truly loip are expected to turn
out In force. Some dissatisfaction is ex.
pressed among republicans at this action Of
the committee. AS an expression OF this,
the following anonymous note, which some
unknown party slipped under the Topic
Office door Yesterday morning. is given:
Il see that our Dutch BossR,
| J. F. Gruelich, bismarck No. l.
Geo. Mrllor, bismarck No. s.
| &. Stammerjohn, (Bi mark No. g.
have ordered y republican city convention.
do not think the thing will work.

The note is given exactly as found.
| On the democratic side of the
house, nothing has been done, beyond in
| formsliy discussing the matter In the city
committee. There is q sentiment that the
C mmittse should call convention to place
a straight ticket In the field. What does
il matter to the average voter whether j.
+. Gruedieh or John l.. OBryan is mayor,
except as one or the other is elected on
party ticket. Why should q citizen pre-
fer Stsmerjohn to Harrison, except that
one is . republican and the other is Q dem
ocrat. The republicans have seen Fl to
run q straight ticket. IL remains to be
! seen whether the democrats will have cour-
age to do the same. The BAzoo would
greatly like 10 see democratic aud repu H.
can tub stand each on its own bottom. Then
whichever wins, there will be something TO
boast over.
