STEUBENvILLE, o., March 26-On Mon
day, April 4, the election for city officers
will take place Both the Democratic aud
Republican parties have their candidates
in the field, and already matters are warm
ing up and the champions of the various
candidates talk loudly and enthusiastically
of the merits Of their men. The election
will take place, as has been the custom
during the past tree years, under the Aus
tralian ballot law. BY the way, when you
hear man running down the ballot law or
sneeringly referring to il as the kan
garoon ballot, it will be pretty safe 10 SET
him down as ward politician who pines
for the good old times when candidates had
TO sugar. his kind Of people and they
could make more on one election day stand
ing around the polls interfering with and
intimidating legal voters than they could
in any other ten days. The law is good
one, and all people in favor OF an honest
bollOt and fair election speak well OF IL.
The principal contest in this city will be on
Justice Of the Peace, the candidates being
Thomas B. Taylor, an old nailor and re-
spectacle citizen, on the Democratic ticket,
and General Bob Love on the Republican
ticket. IL will be a hot fight, and no one
can tell with certainty who the successful
man will be. Love has big majority at
his back, but he has been defeated num-
