POLITICAL POINTS.

Llewellvn has heard from the Unions.
The news is very encouraging.
Col Scheiay's boom for Sheriff shows
little sign of life. Perhaps it was started
too soon.
As a hustler Hon. Tom J. Higgins he's
few equals. He is making his competi-
tors weary.
Some of ex-senator Watson's friends
are urging him to permit the use OF his
name for the Senatorship again.
Hon. 5. A. Losch's friends in town are
feeling very much encouraged just
what has happened has not leaked out
yet.
Scott and Davis, the two Republican
competitors for Sheriff, have the field all
to themselves, apparently. The other
fellows doesn't appear to be in IL.
Franey's friends are whistling yerv
lively airs over his supposed sure thing
for nomination. We advise them not
to be so sure King is strong, and his
lieutenants are no slouches in the busi.
ness King is not asleep and Franey's
friends may as well make up their minds
that they have no amateurs in the busi-
ness to contend against.
