Some Politics.

are beginning to look as though some
body expected to be elected. For the
Office of Trustee there are more candi
dates than there are dollars in the
salary. and for Assessor in the south
precinct,it is believed that ex-Assessor
so-called Senator and tried-to-be Cor.
oner Daniel, will.whoop up the forces
on the Democratic side of the house,
while 1t Is limited that Henry Roether
will come up for Assessor in the North
precinct.
For Clerk the Democrats will NOM
mate Philip Wetzel and Phil. vii
make great hustle for the office.
just who will come in for the honor
of wearing the Constable's star we don't
know. Peter Buckhouse is now en-
gagged in pounding lightning at the
depot and has not sufficient time at his
disposal and it is supposed he will not
make the race this Spring and numer-
o Is friends have been anxious TO have
George w. Hoffman come up rs can
didate for this important office. If
George gets elected and is ever sent
out after man he'll bring him in If he
has to bring him in pieces.
For Cemetery Trustee the names of
DR.. Rheinfrank and DR.. Albert have
been suggested, but we do not care to
make any comment, because it Is posi-.
BILE we may sometime need the services
OF these gentlemen and they would
then have an opportunity to get even.
We never like to monkey with doctor.
For Mayor, the only name that has
thus far been spoken of is that of the
present incumbent, Mayor Roach. He
has indeed been an excellent Mayor and
he who can beat him will be dandy.
For Corporation Clerk it is limited
that Charles Tyler, the youngest son
of the late Hon. j. r. Tyler, will prob
ably be candidate.
The Office Of Marshal is being care
fully looked after, and to Judge by the
number of candidates one would sup
pose there were millions in it." a few
OF the names suggested are james
Hayes, William Sticklcs, Frank
Thornton, L. L. Fink. Hamp Cook,
Samuel Jolly, Chris. Holman and
Franz Overlook. From the above
number of gentlemen it is hoped the
people will be able to make selection,
but we wish it distinctly understood
that If Chris. Hoffman, is nominated
we'll walk all the way oyer to Maumee
to buy our soda water before we'll trade
with him, as he'll feel so stuck up over
it he won't know any of his old friends.
Since there is prospect for consider
able activity in marine business next
season, with two magnificent, palatial,
fast running, rapid transit, some times
stuck-in-the-mud, sidewheel steamers
and fleet OF other pleasure boats here
the advisability of appointing a harbor
master has been suggested and such
officer will probably be appointed by
the next council. 1t has been suggested
that j. Fl. Pierce be appointed owing
to the fact that he has had considerable
in navigation, having
served as Commissioner for several
years, and having constructed II net
work of canals through the county,
making water run up hill and in any
he desired, together with
the fact that his early days were spent
in plotting an old fashioned prairie
schooner" when he first came to this
county. His "mush rat" experience in
Michigan in his younger days together
with his experience in water works
all have tendency to fit
him for the duties of Harbor master.
More attention should be paid to the
Sealer of Weights and Measures,
especially during the fish season.
When the first run of fish are brought
into market, and the country editor
has been living on hog and hominy
all Winter and ventures to blow him
self on Il little fish, the dealer resurrects
a pair of old rusty spring scales that
have been strained all Winter to have
the spring nicely limbered up for bust
ness, hooks it into about five ounces of
fish and three pounds of head, fins and
tail, gives it u yanli and down goes the
indicator to the five pound mark, and
he is informed that fish are nine cents
Il pound, but the next man who comes
along gets them for eight. This il
because the editor don't have to work
for his money! We don't.care SO much
about the price, but we do kick on the
scales and if we can get the nomination
