The name of MIR. Morris Horkheimer is
suggested in the Intelligencer, in commu-
pication which bears the ear-marks Of office
production, as a suitable person for Mayor.
This is generally interpreted TO mean that
the Iutel..gencer is looking for ways and
means to kill off Mayor B. +. Caldwell.
Peonle who know something about the
aims ana objects Of that close corporation
known as the Intelhgencer ring intimate
rather strongly that tue political death Of
Mayor Caldwell wouldn't call for the
wearing OF the usual badge of mourning
over thirty days, in the Intelligeucer Office,
aud this rumor is probably true.
