THE SPRING ELECTION.

Although there are three months
before the spring election occurs,
there is already some gossiping going
on in regard to the various offices.
What it will amount to is uncertain;
as it is not likely that any of the per-
sons who have been mentioned have
been consulted, and it is doubtful
whether some of them would permit
their names to be used.
Inregard to the mayoralty there is
a general feeling in favor of the re-
election of Mayor Willard if he will
accept it. 1t is felt that his admins
tration has been clean, dignified and
progressive in all departments, and
that the city could not elect better
executive. There is good deal OF
fear expressed, however, that he may
not allow his name to be used again.
That being the case number of bus
mess men have been named. Among
the Republicans Geo. M. Palmer aud
Geo. Pond have received favorable
mention, while the Democrats gener-
ally speak OF Fred Kron, Nick Peter,
son and Hans Jorgensen. The two
former have heretofore been mention
ed most frequently.
For recorder the present appointee
will undoubtedly be candidate. Nc
other candidate for the position has
yet been heard of.
Judge Porter will without doubt be
a candidate for reelection to the mu
nicigal bench. The Republican most
prominently mentioned is B. D
Smith. W. E. Young has also beer
| named.
No aspirants for the position of city
treasurer nave yet been heard Of.
There will undoubtedly be some
| changes in the council. r. D. Hub
bard and Thos. Saulpaugh have sail
that they would not serve again Jude
any circumstances. Whether any o
all of the other aldermen will be can
didates for reelection we have no
| heard.
1t is pretty cold weather to talk pol
itics, but as developments occur tn

by Mr.. Wilson. There were also two
amendments to the new probate code,

took an appeal to the United States
supreme court, has required his almost
constant residence in this city. Every

decisions were handed down. Finally,
few weeks ago. the case was decided
against him. Whether or rot the loss

close attention, bl g. anything more
than the SORROWS @. Usual defeas will
not be known. His death created an
immense surprise, as it was not even
known that he was ailing any more
than any man who had lived and Ia.
bored so long would. The announce
ment that he had died at l 30 from
failure of the heart created more thar
little surprise, and at that hour of the
night details of his taking off were
more than meager.
