Thomas Ashworth cannot be found in

yet there are very many people who would

CLEANED regarding the absent owner
The sweets of victory were not alto
gether agreeable in Mr.. Ashworth's case,
because since II was announced that he
would be the next Superintendent of
Streets 1t seems nearly every other poll
ticlan out of job called on him with let
tiers, petitions and stories of support in
the campaign. he had experience in cleo
lions and victories, but that was in more
prosperous years, when fewer men were
idle than at present, and every other ward
politician did not con slider himself entitled
TO municipal position. This time, as
successful candidates for patronage"
offices well know, the pressure has been
almost unbearaDle. They are driven to
their wits ends in desperate endeavors 10
withstand the throng of applicants for pO-
stionS who haunt them ike a shadow. 1t
is said by friend OF Ashworth that no
official elect has been so peSieIed with APP
plicati0nS for work as the new Superu-
tendent of Streets. Indeed the annoyance
became SO great it was overpowering, as
from early morning till late at night, with
out minutes cessation, at least half
dozen ofice-seekers were waiting to talk
to Mr.. Ashworth. ana since election some
thousands of these WORTHLESS have inter
viewed him on the question of patronage.
Ii is pretty definitely settled that Edward
Owens, who was his chief deputy, will
again fill that Office. Other positions will

with these returns, upon which the press
