THEY WANT TO GET IN.
GOSSIP ABOUT CANDIDATES FOR
LOCAL OFFICES.
People Who Want to Serve Their Coun-
trymen-DemOcratic and Repub-
lican Aspirants for the
County Ofices.

AS Cleveland is considered sure win
ner, the result as to the presidential
election is about settled, and everyone
is centered on the legislative, county
and city tickets. In this direction there
is considerable interest manifested. AL
ready groups of politicians are seen
daily conversing on street corners, and
candidates are thick as water drinkers
at prohibition convention.
That the local campaign will be hot
one this year there is no doubt. The
people are disgusted with the present
| corrupt city and county administration,
and as the Democrats, with good nomi-
nations, stand an excellent chance of
electing their nominees, there is more
eagerness among the Democratic candi-
dates this year than formerly. Among
the latest aspirants and men talked of
for county and city honors on both
sides of the political fence are the fol-
| lowing:
For sheriff f-The Republicans appar-
emily have an abundance of material.
J. G. Cline, George P. McLain, Tom
Hayes, William Hammel, p. G. Darcy,
S. NJ. Perry (present supervisory, and
III. S. Clement (present constable) are
willing to be sacrificed. They all stand
about as follows, relative to strength: H.
s. Clement, George P. McLain, S. M.
Perry, Tom Hayes, j. G. Cline and Will
liam Hammel. On the Democratic side
Ed. Gibson, the present incumbent, is
thus far the only one mentioned.
For public administrator-The Re-
publicans have Frank M. Kelsey of this
| ffx or1 Ghorlaa Ka1Iono IL
George III. Kimball is also a candidate.
j. G. Bryant and w. S. Waters are
spoken of on the Democratic ticket.
For recorder-Ju A. Kelly, the
present Republican official, will have
against him Arthur Bray, for
mer deputy under Recorder Gibson
and HI. J.. Shoulders, late postmaster.
The latter is developing great strength,
and may knock the persimmon. Martin
G. Marsh is the only Democrat up to the
present time spoken Of.
| For tax collector A. B. Whitney, who
now fills that position, will undoubtedly
be renominated by the Republicans, but
he has no sure thing, as w. H. Rout-
zahn, very popular young Republican
of this city, is in the field, and as he has
numerous friends he should not by any
means be overlooked in this fight. The
only Democrat spoken of so far is w. B.
Cullen, who once filed this office.
The county clerkship fight is between
L. ID. Ward, the present incumbent, and
James M. Meredith, whom Ward sue
ceeded at the last election. Meredith
possibly may give Ward most uncom-
Portable surprise in the convention.
III. G. Rollins, the present county
auditor, wants to succeed himself, and
at the present writing has no opposi-
tion, but no doubt will have before the
convention meets. The many friends of
Joseph Mesmer want him to run on the
Democratic side.
For district attorney McLachlan knows
good thing when he has it, and is very
desirous of supplanting himself Hon.
7. E. Gibbon is mentioned as the Demo
crat to warm Mr.. McLachlan's jacket,
which he could easily do if he could be
persuaded to be candidate.
The latest aspirant for supervisor in
the second district on the Republican
side is DIR. B. F. Kierulff, a present
school director from the sixth ward. @.
E. Crowley, A. r. Wirsching, A. @.
Shaffer and A. w. Francisco are also
looking after this nomination. J. III.
Collins is after the Democratic nomina-
WIN III bhlp OAoblACb anu IL uO kOUb IL nO
will be elected, as he has had plenty of
assurances from members of both par
ties in that district.
For justice of the peace and consta-
bles bakers dozen on each side have
already came forward. Tom. E. Dona-
hue and Louis Siewicke are among the
Democratic candidates. DIR. w. A. We'll
don, the presentcoroner wants to succeed
himself, and may receive the Republican
endorsement. DIR. Max Wasman is
mentioned as the Democrat who would
be willing to defeat his Republican OPP
ponent.
For city Offices there are many in the
fight at this early date. 1t is too far in
advance to endeavor to mention the
numerous aspirants who will eventually
declare themselves.
Frank r. Finlayson, prominent
young attorney, is mentioned on the
Democratic side for assemblyman in the
seventy second district, while Geo. M.
Holton seeks to be state senator from
this district as Republican.
