WANT POSITIONS.
These who Are I'm the fleia fof
Appointment.

Council will be entirely Republican, q
ureat deal of interest is being taken in
the appointments, and the Councilmen
alect find themselves besieged with ap
rI;cants for positions. Every one who
did any work on election day thinks ne
should be given an appointment, and
expects to be recognized. Copies OF the
new Charter have been in demand, fol
many of those who seek Office do moi
know exactly what they want, and they
would like to find out. Booksellers could
have sold many copies of this instru'
ment had there been any in print. Un'
fortunately the few copies that were
printed have been distributed, and il
will be some days before new edi.
ton is issued. The most interesting
part of the Charter is that section which
says, "The said corporation shall have
the power to create Offices
II this is carried out perhaps all the office
seekers will be satisfied.
For the information of those who are
seeking office, the following places, pro-
vided for by the new Charter, are given

From appearances yesterday, it seems
that the greatest strife will be over the

ers by the Council, and the subsequent
appointment of Chief of Police by the
Commission. A host of applicants
among the Republicans are already in
the field. The Eighth Ward people want
"Bob" Northam to be Commissioner,
and are out working actively for his ap-
pointment. Other names mentioned
we're Messrs. L. N. Breed, J. @. DAILY, w.
8. Moore, Major Furrey, Major E. w.
Jones, Chas. Prayer, M. Morris, and
DIR. Sinsabaugh. Only two of these can
be appointed from among the Republi-
cans, for the charter provides that no
more than two OF any commission can
be of one political party. Several sug-
gested during the afternoon that the
Council appoint General Mansfield I,
Judge Fitzgerald, VIM. Lacy and Cap
tain E. @. Thow. The Republicans will
have a majority in this commission
since the Mayor is the fifth member.
For Chief of Police many names are
heard as candidates. Captain Darcy,
Certain Thornton. E. 9. Burlingame,
w. s. Moore, Sergeant Davis and
ex-Captain Loomis are among those
who would like to have the office. This
is matter however which will not be de-
cided for month yet, and other candi-
dates will no doubt spring up. The
friends of B. Fehneman would like to
have him appointed Sealer of Weights
and Measures if they knew what the
duties and salary are to be. Ed. Miles
is credited with being anxious to be re.
warded by being appointed Water Over.

ELECTION ECHOES.
Some one writes a member of tn,
HERALD staff as follows, touching tn
election Of last week:
Los ANGELES, February %, 1889.
SIR-The election is over, the resul
is exactly as told you three weeks ago
Next time take advice, and also inform
the City Central Committee to do like

money buying votes, the Republican
