BASSETT { CO..
SCRAMBLlNG FOR OFFICES.
What Some of the Democratic Patriots Will
Strive to Obtain.

Governor Gray is likely to have very merry
time disposing of the candidates for appoint
ments to the different positions which he will
have to fill Already there are three candidates
for the Office of Coal-oil Inspector who have an
nounced themselves namely-R. P. Mus
tard Of Anderson, and Phil Gapen,
and N R. Hyde, proprietor of the Capital Hotel
of this city. It was reported yesterday that
Gapen was about to tender his resignation as q
member of the Board of Trustees of the Insane
Hospital, which wouldn't be bad thing under
any conditions but when asked if the report
was true last evening, he replied, mo sir; a
Democratic officeholder never resigns" The
Office Of oil inspector was about the only one
that escaped notice of Democrats in the legisla-
ton for spoils two years ago.
John Whitsett and Marshal Woods both want
20 be Adjutant- general, and it is thought that
Whitsett has very favorable prospect Of obtain
ing the appointment 1t seems to be tacitly un
derstood that the only Office which any Indian
apolis man is likely to get from the next Legis-
lature is assistant clerk of the House. and it is
said that whoever the Marion county representa-
tives agree upon will be elected. There are three
candidates for the position--Joseph Tanning.
Ross Clarke and John w. Tyndall. The last
named was first announced as candidate for
clerk, but his residence in Indianapolis was
against him for any position higher than assist
ant clerk. Col DarDell, of Putnam county, is
o candidate for clerk, and DR.. Edwins, of Madi
son county, who was clerk of the last Lecisla
ture, IL seeking reelection.

THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
Jewett Apparently in the Lead. but Good
ing Processes To Be UndiSmayed.

The contest for the speakership of the State
Legislature seems to have already settled down
to Charles L. Jewe:t and David S Gooding
with the present indications of advantage
strongly in favor of Jewett, against whom bit
ter fight ia being made by all the candidates
Jewett made canvass Of the State during the
last campaign and he availed himself Of every
opportunity to strengthen his support as a pros
pective candidate for the speakership. 1t il
said that he already has secured pledges Of sup
port from a majority of the Democratic
that it will be almost impossible
to defeat him. The candidacy of McMulen,
Williams and Browning, it is claimed, is to the
advantage of Cooling, whose chances of elee-
ton depend upon the possibility of combina
ton to break the strength of Jewetts support
Gooding stated yesterday, that his prospects
seemed to be growing brighter and he expresses
himself as confident that he will be elected. In
the matter of geographical location, it is the
opinion of the politicians that Jewett has de
cided advantage in being from tho southwestern
part of the State. as the majority of the Demo
cratic representatives are from the southern
section.
A report was in circulation yesterday. among
the politicians, to the effect that letter had
been received from Hugh McMullen withdrawing
from the contest. 1t has been supposed that
next to Jewett and Gooding he was the strong
est candidate in the field, and it is believed that
his withdrawal will benefit Gooding. The
didacy of Williams of Vincennes, is to the disad
vantage of Jewett, because it is believed that the
vote which he will get would 60 TO Jewett if
Williams were out of the contest 1t is said that
Jewett has been assured of the support of the
Marion county Democratic representatives and
that Bynum is giving him the aid of his nfiu
ence,

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
DR.. LOmax Elected President-SuggestiOn
Concerning National Board

The annual meeting of the State Board of
Health was held yesterday. The session was
devoted almost entirely to the transaction of
routine business, and about the only thing of
public interest in the proceedings was the resig
nation of the president of the board DIR. j. W.
Compton, of Evansville, who stated, in a letter
addressed to the Governor and the board, that
his private business required all his time His
term of Office would expire in next February,
and his resignation was in the nature of quite a
surprise 1t is reliably stated that the res
ignation was rendered because Dr. Comp
ton desires to escape the annoyance
to which it is thought the board
will be subjected by the next Legislature, as it
will be pettioned to reinstate DR.. Thad NJ.
Stevens, who was removed from the position of
secretary in 1883, and it is probable that there
will be an investigation of the matter Stevens
Claims that he was wronged. and he will ask for
an investigation for his vindication. DR. LOmax
objected to his removal. but Doctors Compton
and Vinnedge were both against him. The res
lgnatlon of Doctor Compton was accepted by
both the Governor and the board, and DIR. Lo
max was elected to the position The vacancy
in the board can only be filed by the appoint
ment of the Governor, but he stated to
a journal reporter Yesterday afternoon that he
had not decided whether or not he would make
any appointment to fill the vacancy, as it would
be only few weeks until the term expires
During the afternoon session of the board
DR.. Elder, the secretary was directed to attend
the conference of State boards of health, to be
held at Washington, on Dec. 10. and to present
a resolution favoring the organization of ma
tional board of health, to be composed of a mem
Der from each State board.
1t was decided to recommend to the Superin-
tendent of Public instruction the advisabiity of
having sanitary science taught III the public
schools, and he was further requested to obtain,
through the county superintendent, during the
teachers county Institutes, addresses essays
on public hygiene and sanitary science

LUCKY TIM.

=
Tim Flanagan always lived quite high,
For mkt to the roof he had home;
A laborin man who kept job,
For Tim was niver a hand to roam.
Wan avening Tim was ploddin' home,
His legs wur heavy, his pockets lite;
SEE Tim to himself: The laborers lot
I'm not regardin' with delte.
He slowly trudgei along tae strate,
When down forninst him on the ground
He spied bundle natsly tied.
1t wondered Tim what he had found;
He picked it up wild a cautious hand
BeSorra! It might be dynamite!
But when he saw twas Bull Dog, thin
His heart went thumpin wild deite.
Bedad, SEE Tim, it's the laborin' man
Is the lucky mortal after all
It's him as hes his eyes cast down
Picks dainties up the rich let fall;
For if I'd had me wish this mite.
Twas Bull Dog that most desired;
IT'S Bull Dog fine Gu. gives delite
To man that's falin' wake and tired.
When dimes are scarce and Bull Do; gone
TITS thin the world gets lookin' bll9;
But not a rason for complaint
Has man wild Bull Dog as his chew.
And Tim was right beyond doubt,
For chewers now on every hand
Agree with Tim that Bul Dog is
The finest chew in all the land.
