Dark-The Shadows on the Dial Of
Destiny Skip Nervously About.
The TIMES has devoted some study
and watchfulness lately to the politi-
cal outlook, and having no favors to
ask, no candidate to urge or Ak to
grind, can amuse itself by calmly and
undisturbedly looking on.
FOE SHERIFF.
The names mentioned for Sheriff
are Gray, Pat Kinney, Oldham, Con-
dron, Campbell, Cummings, Cassidy
and Furey. Gray was decently buried
in a political snowslide some years ago
and has not recovered. Condron and
Oldham are playing the eat-up-each-
other game for the nomination, with
chances apparently in favor of Old.
ham. Pat Kinney will take his train
and bring Shoshone to back him.
Cummings relies mainly on what he
was in Nevada, and will come from
Broadford with some mining strength.
Jack Campbell is Republican, and has
been SECURING the woods" for some
time looking after his fences. He will
have strong backing and is terribly in
earnest. Cassidy can muster crowd
when he starts in and will "whoop up"
whoever he lays hold of. Charles Flu
rey has the great recommendation of
a brilliant and splendid record of two
terms of service, and with some the
fact that he has been a good officer
twice incapacitates him for another
term. Furey, if he tries, will make
the dust fly around anybody. There
are other aspirants, but these are the
significant ones now.
THE RECoRDERsHIp.
For Auditor and Recorder, until re-.
Gently, nobody but Cannady, present
incumbent, has been spoken of, but
the fever broke loose about ten DAYS
ago, and now there are Colonel Brod-
head (Democrat); Mallory, of Riley &
Mallory; Capt. James Gum, of Bull
ion; Mr.. - (name forgotten), of
Ketchum. and possibly man from
Era. These are all booted and spurred
and ready with lance at rest to dare
any conner to the contest. Mr.. Cam
nady will be hard customer to beat,
but there is rousing combination in
his party against him, and if Gum
comes down from the Idahoan camp
in earnest, the fur will fly promiscu.
ously. 1t takes a shrewder man than
the TIMES bohemian to name the Re.
corder among these at this stage of
the game, bat it's pretty family quar-
rel, with the shrievalty at the bottom
of the wrangle.
PROBATE JUDGE.
Sweet (present incumbent), Demo-
crat, and Parsons and Lennon, Re-
publicans, are spoken of. The party
that carries its ticket generally will
elect the Probate Judge.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Messrs. Batten, Price, Bruner, Wa.
tiers, Harris, Ruick and Waters are the
candidates most heard mentioned.
Some of them have served as prose-
cutting officers here and else W here, and
several would be more than ordinary
officers. Mr.. Ruick will take before
his Democratic convention a bright
record and page Of duty done of
which any man might be proud. There
is no telling who will be nominated.
TREASURER.
No active opposition is heard to
Burkett, who will doubtless be nomi-
mated and elected with ease.
ASSESSOR.
Present incumbent VIM. Yeates,
Kohlepp (present County Commission
cry, Erv. Johnson of Bellevue, Aleck
McKibben, Con Tatro, and young
man of Ketchum (name forgotten) are
mentioned.
CORONER.
1t is probable anybody who tries to
be will be elected Coroner.
LEGISLATORS.
The names for Legislators are nu-
merous. The TINES hears mentioned
Ed. Coffin, l.. Price, A. S. Senter, T.
E. Clohecy, F. Gillette, Judge Lewis,
Captain Lusk, Will Ravens, Phil Re-
gan, Col. E. A. Wall, and host OF
o.Lo., c. Ill H. - 1900
