the bosses to speak in the suburban dis

It is passing strange how men without
children wax wildly enthusiastic in their
behalf, and demand that things be run ex-
actly to the little ones interest. Take Clute,
McCallum, Stanton, Duke aad Greenwald,
for instance.

A survey of the list of Powers' one hun
dred affords some very suggestive musing.
Among the Republican half, the office
holders have the place Of honor. Among
the Democratic half the ofice-holder is
only less conspicuous because his genus is
not so numerous. Nor are there any Lib
eral Democratic boodlers in the city coun-

holders in the list. John NJ. Young, w. P.
Noble, Walter Murphy, W. A. Stanton, w.
H. Ryan, w. c. Hall and Harry Duke. John
Marshall Is a candidate for Office, A. L.
Williams expects to be, Henry Barnes has
been, Richard Reyes tried to be. Then

Ed Byrnes partnsr of Barnes and bene-

is nephew of the city attorney; Witcher
Jones is a partner of the Dos himself
James Hogle keeps Liberal headquarters
and Harry Edwards dispenses liquids with
incidental enthusiasm there. S. II. Lewis
was assistant prosecuting attorney in a
Republican administration, and the bosses
probably thought that bad company had
left its influence upon him. OF course.
many of these men are not in il. They
are Democrats and not Powersites We
simply quote from the list of names to
show what guided the bosses judgment
and selection of the one hundred.
There are some assignments, how
ever, which are curiosities in their way.

don't know what his politics are, but we do
know that his brother, w. D., who signed
the Liberal call, has never been citizen of
the United States. t. w. Wampler is a
