Notwithstanding that the county
officers recently elected do not take
charge of their Offices until Jan. 1, spec
ulation is already rife as to the appoint
mentS to be made. There seems to be
more aspirants for the position of assist
ant county attorney than for any other
Office, and Mr.. O'Brieh has no end of
material to select from, good, bad and in
different. There has been some talk to
the effect that Mr.. o Brien would select
as his assistant his brother-in-law, S. j.
DonnelIy, but there appears to be little
foundation for this rumor. So far as
can be learned Mir. Donnelly, who has
been for many years, and is now, a val
liable assistant OF Attorney General
Clapp, has no desire to quit his present
position. He feels so long as the Re-
publican party has charge of the helm
of state that his position is assured, and
he does not care to give up a certainty
for slender lease of power
as assistant county attorney. John
Ives name is spoken of i'll connection
with the place, but Johns disposition
TO suik during the campaign, coupled
with an uncalled for Giatribe against
Mr.. O'Brien, published i'll the Brewers
Warner, VINO did y0eman service for
the whole Democratic ticket, and es-
ppcialiy for MIR. O'Brien, would like to
I'LL MIR. Munn's shoes, but his youth and
ineXperience are against him, and his
chances for appointment are not al all
fiattering. Moritz Helm did some tall
hustling for Mr.. O'Brien during the
campaign, his efforts being confined
principally to the bohemian element of
the Fifth, with whom he has quite Il
pull. 1t is understood, however, that
Mr.. Helms efforts were due more TO a
warm friendship for MIR. O'Brien than
to any desire of political reward.
1t Is generally conceued among those
in position toknow best that the office
will be rendered Pierce Butler. young
man of sterling character and consider
able legal ability. Mr. Butler is en-
titled to the position, too. or the score
of services rendered, fer it is well
known that by his energy and sagacity
the tide was turned which gave the
nomination to O'Brien instead of Ives.
MIR. Butler, while not having direct
assurance of the appointment. feels
pretty certain that the honor will be
rendered him. -
There are horde of applicants for
the Office of deputy register of deeds,
but as yet MIR. Haas has kept his cOun-
sci to himself; but thai fact does not
prevent the dickey birds from having
their little say. 1t is pretty we'll set
tied that the choice will fall to Edward
w. White, the present secretary Of the
school board, between whom and Mr.,
Haas a strong feeling of friendship ex-
lists. Mr.. White, as is well known, is
now under the ban of the board, having
been requested to resign. This Will
give him an opportunity to retire grace
fully and will remove a thorn from the
side of the school board which has been
the cause OF no end of atfouble.a 1t is
probable that Mr.. White will accept the
position, as his present term of Office
expires next June, and his chances of
reelection as secretary decidedly poor.
James NJ. Bell, at present employed in
the abstract office. claims to have a
promise that he will play second fiddle
to Haas, and Others who are mentioned
in connection with the place are M. j.
DonneIly, nj. j. O'Connor, Herman
Hagerman and James Shea.
There will be very few changes in the
personnel of the sheriff's Office, but it is
understood that after Jan. the number
of employees will he reduced materially.
MIR. Nelson will retain the present Elf
cient force of his Office. as will Mr..
Kahn.
In the Office Of clerk of courts the old
reliable force will continue to serve the
public, but Mr.. Armstrong, the present
deputy, will take few months yaea-
ton soon to recuperate and build up his
health, which has been very poor OF
late.
