The Republican Senators have, under
the lash of public ridicule, thrown off
the Blaine yoke and laid their tariff
bill before the full Finance Committee
Of the Senate. 1t wa not because they
wanted to do it, but because public
opinion forced them to it, The bill
has not yet been make public, but it is
known that it makes a total reduction
of about $65 900 900 and that sugar and
the internal revenue system furnished
the bulk of 1t.

record and personal chacteris.ics which
make him an exceptionally strong
candidate. The nomination of Mr. Dren-
nan was sought and ably advocated by
his neighbors, which is of strong recon-.
But besides the popularity
which Mr.. brennan enjoys as a citizen
and the strong mark a favor his many
warm friends gave expression to, it goes
without saying that Mr.. brennan is adj
mirably fitted for this position. During
the many years he was Quarter.
masters clerk in the army he gained
a reputation for accuracy and accountant
abilities that are enjoyed by very few
who have to submit their work to the
most critical and most exacting ofexperts.
Gen. Sacket. lnspector-G General, once
said that Mr.. brennan was the best clerk
in the whole service. Taught in such a
school it can be trutllfully said that Mr.
brennan will bring credit to the office.
For Assessor, j. j. Reeves, of THREE
Fork, was nominated unanimously. Mr..
Reeves has been a resident of this coun-
ty for twenty-five years, has performed
the work of tho assessor in the capacity
of a deputy and has the ability to do the
work in the way it should be done. Mr..
Reeves is a remarkably popular citizen
of the lower end ofihe county, and has a
numerous following of firm friends in
Bohemian as well. 1t is admitted that
he is entitled to the Office and it is assur.
ed that he will be elected.
For Probate Judge, that stauEch Demo.
crat, A. d. Mcpherson is toifll the Office
for the next two years. Mr.. Mcpherson,
familarly known as Judge" was once
Probate Judge of The county, and made
. record in that capacity. which is open.
ell to the closest scrutiny and s%trictest
inspection and will be found commend
able to the man and the party who
elected him. Mr.. Mcpherson will make
no Sympathetic" campaign. but will
seek the Office on his merits and capsbili-
ties.
For County Attorney. Robert P. Vivlon
was selected. Mr.. Vivion is another of
the staunch Old Democrats of the Jack
sonian stripe. Everyone knows that he
is capable of filling the office, or he would
never have been nominated, elected and
performed the work successfully of other
more important offices. Mr.. Vivion's
friends ATE not all to be found In this

The three Republican aldermen,

sworn in last Thursday, but the next
morning sent in their designations.
They attended the first meeting and
helped along with the organization.
They were appointed on the sanitary
and street committees, but it. seems
they also wanted on the finance COM
mittee, We learn that they claim
that they would have no money to do
the work required OF them as commit
teemen. But they had not asked for
an appropriation and therefore did
not know that it would not be granted.
If the Democratic majority refused to
appropriate money to carry out the
recommendations of the minority,
that would relieve the minority OF
all responsibility, But, instead of &C.
