This year there will be two superior
court Judges to elect to take the places
OF Judges York and Van Dyke, whose
terms expire.
There will also be two supervisors to
elect to take the places OF Supervisors
Cook and FORESTER, whose terms ex-
pire.
Already cloud Of Republican candi-
dates for nearly all these Offices has
arisen, and they are beginning to pull
wires to get nominations.
There are three candidates for county
clerk in the Office alone, and. all told,
there are IL Republican candidates who
have come out fat footed for the place.
One of the biggest fights in the Re-
publican camp will be over the sheriff's
Office, for which eight or nine 2. o. p.
men have been persuaded by admiring
friends to allow their names to be used
in connection with The Office.
ID Some of the present incumbents are
candidates for reelection and are bring
ing all tho pull that their Offices carry
to checkmate other aspirants from
stepping into their shoes.
OF course all these county Offices have
a number OF deputies, and some of the
Offices have so many places to bestow
that they furnish a big pull in getting a
nomination.
There are a good many men with
grievances, and some of the fights will
be very bitter, for there will be enemies
to be paid off and friends to be reward
ed. Some of the campaigns heretofore
have not been characterized by fairness.
Many blows have been struck below the
belt and they have been remembered.
This is true, not only of county affairs,
but is 30 also of the city Offices. Enmi
ties have arisen in city politics from the
last red-hot campaign which are smoul-
dering and will burst forth into fame az
the time approaches for the election.
There are a good MANY of the present

OFFICES GALORE THIS FALL,
The Political Pot Already Show
ing Some Disturbance.
A Cloud of Candidates for the Four
Year Places.
Tho Change Made by tho Legislature
Brings Out Patriots by the Score.
A Long Ticket to Be
Made Up.

While it is very true that it is long
time yet until the selection OF candi-
dates for the fall campaign, yet there is
a political boiling going on below the
surface which will bubble up when the
time comes.
The campaign will be an unusually
lively one this year, although it is not
national year.
IN addition to the county and city
tickets in Los Angeles, all state officers
are to be elected this year, although the
city election is at different time.
There was a great amount OF kicking
last year on account of the length Of the
ticket, under the new law, but the tick
cts this year will be longer still. The
| list of state officers is a long one in
itself, and when joined with the county
and township lists, will make whop-
per.
The county fight will be the liveliest
OF them all this year.
This is owing to the change made by
the last Legislature in the tenure OF
county Offices, and which is not thor
oughly known yet among the rank and
file OF the parties.
In the county government act passed
by the last Legislature, the terms of all
county officers we're fixed at four years
each, instead OF two, which has been the
length OF the terms heretofore.
This has brought out already an I'M
usually large crop OF candidates. The
plums are 30 much larger, if any one can
pluck them, that it will be rare scram-

A term OF four years will enable the
candidates to spend more to be elected

case. The treasury department thus
far has taken no action to put into eff

hold that it is not obligatory on them
to set aside Mr.. Harrison Immediately.
Some of them hold that Mr.. Harrison
may even continue to discharge the
duties of the office until the session
ends if the president does not choose to
send in successor. Senators take a
different view. They insist that with
the rejection Mr.. Harrison's tenure
ceases and that it is the duty of the sec
rotary to pnt someone else temporarily
in charge of the office. 1t is understood
that Senator Vest will wait a few days

recent circular letter sent ont by In
spector Redfield of Davenport applying
the so per cent. co-insurance clause on
all mercantile risks when either build
ing or stock is of the value of $4,000
or upwards, and on all special hazards.
The provision of this clause is that the
insured shall maintain insurance on
property insured to the extent of at
least 50 per cent. of its actual cash
valve. and that, failing to do so. the in
sured shall be = co-insurer to the eX-
tent of such deficit and shall bear his
proportion of any loss.
This means that the insurance com
bne now undertakes to dictate not only
how much insurance he shall pay for,
and if he does not cary all they think
he should it makes him stand the diff
ference in case of loss. 1t is character
lied by local agents as a greedy, high

The manner of the official was that

that he might be stopped without being
bottled up.
Argument upon the bill praying for
an injunction was called in the circuit
court before Judge Call and argument
of both sides is being presented. Judge

All of the members of the command
now here are from points from outside

not slow when seen outside of quarters
to express their anger that they had
been ridiculed during their march up
Bay street. They assert loudly that
they are here to obey the commands of
their superiors, and if the governor
should send orders to proceed to ex-
tremilies to prevent the proposed mill
they would act as soldiers should act
under such orders. The opinion seems
to be general, however, that there will

there is no danger of the fight being

mors to this effect which have been
circulated are unfounded.
Corbett money was little more
plentiful last night than it has hitherto
been. About so bets were placed with
