SrEuBENNILLE, O., March lS.-The nom
nations are over and the election IS the
next thing in order, which will come on on
the first Monday in April. The two ofhces
on the general thicket on which there IS
the most contest and interest are Mayor
and CITY Commissioner. The Republican
candidate for Mayor is "Barkly" Scott,
and for City Commissioner John Lawson,
and the Democratic candidates are; w. l..
Medill for Mayor, and Geo. zimmerman
for CITY Commissioner. All the men are
well-known III this city. and their records
are as clear as day. "Barklyh has been
Mayor for two years, and the people know
what kind Of a Mayor he has made. Medlll
is known as one Of the leading young at
tornevs at the bar. His record is such
that there can be no doubt about his ability
and fitness for the Office ne aspireS TO.
For years Lawson was a saloon
keeper, and It IS charged
his nomination was obtained
through the liquor influence. Zimmerman
is q glassworker by occupation, Tor long
time was manager of the glass factory or
Beatty Bros. in this city, but during the
past two years has held the once OF CITY
City Commissioner, being elected over
James s. Beans, the Republican candidate,
in 1891. 1t is conceded by Republicans
and Democrats alike that he has made tho
best Commissioner Steubenyille has had
for years. He did moro work and spent
less money than any Of his predecessors.
Why shouldn't he DO re-electedi He has
been tried and found satisfactory. OF the
nominations in the different wards very
little need be said. There is no question
of the election of Joseph Balser TO Council
from the Fifth ward or jackson Duvall
from the Sixth. Both have been tried and
found worthy.
