For County Treasurer

Men who would be county treas
urer think Of the conditions that will
have to be met at the special county
convention and then hesitate about an
nouncing their candidacy. There will
be only one nomination to be made at
this convention and consequently there
can be no trading. 1t is feared that the
most potent argument before the con-
vention will be the financial argument
Politicians assert that the nomination
will cost the successful aspirant be-
tween 1880 and $1,000. II elected he
can serve only three years and owing to
the stringent times there will be many
risks.
OF course Mr.. Sullivan, the present
incumbent, Is a candidate. He has
some good supporting strength.
Dan Kelley, who was spoken of,
looked the field over, and said he would
not be candidate.
Jake Roche is regarded as a lusty
candidate. He has held the office be-
fore, but the people have confidence
in him. 1t is whispered that Charley
Branson may be a candidate. Major
Pierce of Waverly Is said to be hating
between doubt and fear.
Harry Abbott will probably have the
First ward for treasurer. Mayor Ora
ham says he will be a candidate. 1t is
intimated that he will use his candi-
dacy to prepare for easier sailing next
spring, when he would like to be re-
turned as mayor. o. w. Webster has
been importuned to be a candidate, but
he continues to manifest a coy reti-
cence Aaron Buckstaff in the Fourth
ward says openly that he is candi-
date, while r. B. Graham Of the same
ward remains in a brown study. A. D.
Borgelt is a candidate and there Is
likely to be another candidate in the
Fifth. John B. Cunningham has been
mentioned"
The latest candidates are Kimmel
and Mauley in theFifth ward.

free lumber more material of that kind

the case on the Pacific coast. Building
of all kinds has exhibited a remarkable
degree of activity in California, particu-

the emergency to stand by our personal
preferences and by our division permit
the Republican candidate to be elected.
Either Patton or Rose would fill with
honor the seat of a congressman, but the
clash between their friends and personal
animosities already aroused will not be
allayed by the nomination of either one
of them. The Populists will put a sill
Yer man in the field. and If the Demo-
Gratis do the same. then McLachlan will
be elected. If the populists at their con-

cate of free silver. would it not be Il
graceful act for both Patton end Rose
to withdraw from the race and let the

makes q practical trebling of the pro-

picture is the progress making in the sec

due to the still existing railroad compe-

exist. There are thirty million fruit
