- BUTTE, April 16.-Electlon n over and
with. lis close q new set Of candidates have
entered the field. They are the candi-
dates for the various Offices that are to he
filed by the new council. Those appoint
ed will, of course, be Democrats. There
10 Q large number of applicants and ex-
ceptionally good material for the council
to choose from. One of the most inn
portant positions will be that of city
clerk. Mr.. Graves being q republican
will, Of course, no expect a reelection.
Among the candidates who are promi-
nently mentioned is James King
known in the party by his frequent valu-
able services and well known in the city
generally as an honest, faithful and
efficient accountant. he was asslstant
clerk part OF the past year under Mr..
Graves. Another strong candidate Is p.
j. Gilligan, who has also rendered the
party valuable services. He was registry
clerk and clerk Of the central committee
during the campaign just closed. He
Is competent in every respect
county clerks Office under Mr.. Booth.
Another candidate favorably mentioned
by many is Hugh Muldoon OF the Mining
Journal. Mr.. Muldoon is capable and
trustworthy gentleman and would fill the
position to the Queens taste. He has a
strong backing and will make the other
candidate hustle to beat him. Joseph
McGoogan is another young man who
would MI the position in al efficient
manner Mr.. McGoogan is an old
timer i'm Butte and has served as secretary
Of the Miners Union. He is highly
recommended and will make a strong
canvass. Michael Connolly is also i'm the
field and has strong men 10 back him.
For the position of city marshal, there
are in the field, Charles j. Macarthur, the
present marshall; Edward Carroll, the
present chief of police; Lou p. Smith the
late chief Of police; Andy Daum, one OF
the most serviceable officers on the day
force; Phil Hickey, and Miles Finlan.
The unfortunate occurrence of Saturday
has undoubtedly ruined Mr.. Finlan's
chances for the present. There Is
likely to he an active canvass by the va
rious candidates. The position of chief Of
Edward Carroll, in case he is not pro-
NOTED to the position Of city marshal. IL
he should be made city marshal there will
be several candidates in the field for
chief OF police, including Thomas Cody,
Charles Swanson and Andy Daum, all
ton of jailer. James Dwyer. tho present
jailer, and Charles Swanson are among
those considered. The importance
of these appointments will be
seen from the fact that the police blsi-
ness of the ensuing year will depend in a
large measure ON the selections OF the
council. Great care should therefore be
taken and in the men selected for these
positions should be made for their worth
as police officers rather than for In po-
litical hold they may have.
There is likely to q contest in the Sec
ond ward over the Office OF alderman on
the circumstances related i'm this morn.
tng's STANDARD. The cavassing board
IL democratic and IL is prob
able that, such being the case,
the republican will be seated. II is not
characteristic of democrats to throw out
returns or engage in anything that bears
a semblance to fraud, and IL is considered
likely that the democratic councilmen will
administer a strong rebuke to republican
c~anvassinR boards by refusing to lake ad'
vantage Of their power and admitting the
republican who has been declared elected
Congratulatory kilograms were received
here by prominent democats to-day from
W. A. Clark at Washington. The
credit for the grand victory ma.
probably be assigned TO the en-
tire democratic party. While there
are a few to whom especial credit |,
due for their hard work, il would be un
just TO mention some and omit Others :,
whom equal credit is due. II is sufiicien
that the victory was glorious and hat thu
democrats all had o share in IL.
