SUNDAY SHORT SNAPS.
ELECTION FEBRU AIRY, '97.

1t is to be scrub race for mayor,
or a party fight?
John J.. Stevens can win this time
as city treasurer.
A Republican city ticket can win;
who says it can't? .-...... ....
Our city needs two years rest
from bond issues. ...-...,.
F. C. Grothaus would make a swift
runner for city assessor.
A board of aldermen who believe in
street economy will win this election.
Better streets and less politics is a
good platform for mayor to run on.
The petitioners for q. S. position
must pass through the Mckinley
seive.
The fact that some of our politicians
have records is rather to their disad-
vantage.
There will be many called and few
chosen, but let the people of our city
make a wise choice.
Will Gus Levy raise the banner of
the big Six" and attempt to be may
or of this good city?
The new postmaster will have to
wait until the frosts of December,
1897, to cut his first hay.
1t looks like Gus Levy and Elmen-
dorf heading the combine and the
field against them for mayor.
Wait and watch should be the mot
to of the good voter-there is a day
coming when his vote will count.
If our taxpayers have paid i'm $780,
600 in fifteen months and still owe
100000 we are not very bad OH.
The sewers will be the trouble of
the next administration. The people
will be taxed to make connections.
Elmendorf is not as bad as he is
cartooned-he looks better matured IN
real life with his cooked hat and CT
gar.
Taxpayers can be encouraged by
economy and retrenchment, the busi-
ness end of the thing is too hot to
hold.
The rebuilding Of the sulphur wells
natatorium would be the biggest bus
mess enterprise our citizens could en-
gage in.
If the original Allison men are to
control the pie counter what glory is
it to have been friend of Major Nc
Kinley?
If Judge Noonan lost his election by
reason of not being properly repre-
scented in the election polls in this city
who is to blame?
Newcomb for mayor seems to be Il
very popular ticket with the very
best class of our citizens. The people
want brains this time.
Turkey day will be generally cele-
bated. We are all glad things are so
much better than our Bryan support
ers wanted to make them.
President Cleveland felt so good
over Bryan's defeat that he went
down on his narrow-bones in his
Thanksgiving proclamation. DON'T
he hard on the old Presbyterian.
Editor Bushick and Editor Johnson
and Editor Newcomb are always
making suggestions to the city
government. Maybe one of them
could be induced to take the mayor
atty?
Senator Lewis would have had an
easier time beating Greenwood II he
hadn't taken part with our Christian
voung governor in spending the peo-
ple's money to stop that three-minute
prize fight.
Mrs. Congressman Noonan paid a
visit to her friends down town yes
terday. Mrs. n. is not averse TO
snending two years or more at the ma
tional capital. and the majority of the
local voters of the Twelfth district
have said so.
The Journal-Democrat advertises IT.
self as "the only daily newspaper in
the Twelfth congressional district
that stands squarely on the Demo
cratic platform" That would strike
some people as mighty little for our
neighbor to brag about.
That prize fight which the Demo
cratic administration spent 100000 to
keep out of Texas was pulled off just
over the Mexican border, but the
'.toughs" which the young Christian
governor wanted to keep out of Texas
spent all their time in the state just
the same and only went over into
Mexico for few minutes to see the
fight.
