The many Republican friends of AL
Workman are bringing that gentleman
forward as candidate for the council,
against the incumbent, Hon. Sam Rees.
The friends of the latter gentleman,
however, insist that "once a council
man, always a councilman" and will
insist upon his nomination and re-ele C.
tion; and as Barkis is willing, Mr.. Rees
will no doubt shy his castor into the
ring and contest the claim of Mr.. Work
man.
In fact, the present councilman is
already repairing his fences, which are
in a badly dilapidated condition. The
struggle promises to be lively, and al
ready much feeling is being worked up
over the matter by the friends of the
two Republican stalwarts. The friends
of Mr.. Workman declare that Rees has
had enough 50-cent dinners to last him
q long time, and that he should be re-
tired.
Like Wegg, our present representa-
tive too often drops into poetry, and it
is really quite amusing to see our coun-
Gilman 'upborne on indefatigable
wings" to the highest pinnacle OF coun-
cilmanic fame, and soar aloft
through fields OF poetic fancy. The
friends of Workman also claim that
it Mr.. Rees again succeeds, DIR. George
w. Campbell is to have his support for
city physician and the oldest inhabitant
asserts that Campbell has not yet tasted
the sweets OF this free and glorious
country long enough to entitle him to
such a remunerative position, as that
gentleman's naturalization papers are
MT yet very aged. Another Richmond,
in the person of Mr.. George Ferguson,
is also frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the position, and as he is
quite a popular business man on the
Heights, may change affairs to con-
siderable extent and lay both Mr.. Rees
and Mr.. Workman on the shelf. But it
would not be surprising to see some
good, reliable, popular Democrat step in
and walk away with the honors, draw
the salary attached to the Office and
spend it like a thoroughbred.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
1t is said that birds of a feather inva-
riably flock together, consequently two
young ladies of the Heights, high rollers
from away back, are giving their rela-
tives considerable trouble and anx ETY.
by the antics they have been cutting
here OF late. The recent exploit Of these
misses at Santa Monics is beginning to
create considerable talk, with the usual
palatable dish of scandal thrown in, As
they have promised not to be SO frisky
and frolicsome in the future the effort to
quiet the matter and forget and forgive
past indiscretons may succeed.
