A. always, there ARE several a-rir.
ants for the two first named Offices,
hsft the only two candidate. who have
developed any strength as against
WIN. Meade, the present incumbent.
~W. II. Fletcher and G. W. Isham.
nj cLgnKsHir.
Meade IL an acknowledged good
clerk. lie has held the office for many
years and II Of considerable assistance
TO the couneiImen. His chief weak
ncsees In the contest are the facts that
he Il q Democrat ~ prominently PER
MIC ous activity, and sl-o sits on the
other side Of the mayer during cuun-
eli p~roeeNiings, 40 that the reporters
cannot get near him aud his papers.
u these two the former will probably
figure the stronger against him In the
night. As this was q year of strict
Marty lines, and as nIi the councilman
@I1c( hfc Republicans. Mr.. Meade's
iriends say that his chances are none
too rosy. In view of the fact (which
has been preached n good deal iatelyb
that the Democrats last year. under
the guise of "compromise." took all
the pay Offices and left the honors
alone 10 the Republicans. However,
Meade II claimed 10 have q good tight.
ing chance on his merits NJ a good
clerk.
w. II. Fletcher l. head b~ookkeepcr
AZ the railroad car shops and an eS-
cclcnt accountant lie has figured
actively in politics, and j. member of
tho Republican county committee and
treasurer cf the Lincoln club.
