The genial lawyer then handed the /
watch to Mr. Burke, who turned to
the circle of smiling faces and thanked 1
them in few feeling words.
Among those present were:

Alderman Billy Loe tiler is a full
fledged candidate for State Senator
in his district.
~
1t is not unlikely that Mr. John j.
Cullerton will be the Democratic can
didate for Alderman in the Tenth
Ward next spring.
Nv
Mr.. John j. Kelly, of the Eight
eenth Ward, local political wiseacres
say, will be one of the nominees for
County Commissioner this fall. 1t is
reported that he will come into CON
vention with the solid delegations of
the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
Wards
w
OF those candidates for County
Commissioner this fall whose names
have been prominently mentioned,
Mr.. NJ M. Hayes, of the Thirteenth
Ward, it is safe to say, will be nomi-
mated. During his past two terms as
member of the Board he made
splendid record. Commissioners Frank
e. Coyle, of the Fifth Ward,
will come into convention with
solid delegation, and will undoubted-
ly succeed himself. He is well liked,
as is also that clean business man and
stalwart Democrat, Thomas a. Smyth,
of the Twelfth Ward Mr.. Smyth's
friends are legion in the Twelfth
Ward and throughout the city and
county. lie would prove an able anti
efficient official.

Alderman Ernst, of the Twenty
first Ward, says that he will retire
from politics at the expiration of his
aldermanic term.
Nv
! Fred Stoll has announced himself
as candidate for Alderman in the
Ninth Ward in the spring.

There is considerable doubt as to
whether an election Of members OF
! the County Board can be held this
fall. The law passed by the last
Legislature increasing the term Of
County Commissioners from one to
two yeais, while it repeals the pro-
visions of the previous enactment, is
so framed as to go into effect Novem-
ber, 1894, and fails to make provision
for the interim between the eXplra-
tion of the terms Of the present
members of the County Board and
the date mentioned. Some are OF
opinion that the present members
can, and should, hold over for anoth-
or year, while Others claim that an
election must be held next Novem mbeT
and a new board chosen. SO much
uncertainty exists that Assistant
County Comptroller Healy was di-
rectcd by the board to apply to At
torney General Moloney for m opin
ion on the subject Following are
the main provisions Of the new
statute:
