E. G. Campbell, an aspiring young
Republican who hangs around the Of
nee OF the clerk of the court, has had
a dream. OF course, the mere fact that
MI Campbell had dream would not
be worth recording in the public prints.
for with him dreaming is a sort of
natural adjunct. But it may be of
some Importance to know the subject
OF Mr.. Campbelrs dreams every now
and then, especially since he is one of
the oracles and leading orators in the
Young Mems Central Republican club.
Now. the subject of Mr.. Campbelrs
latest dream is the office of county at
torney. Mr. Campbell is not an attor-
ney-though student of Blackstone
and therefore, While his ambition can
never be satisfied short of the position
OF head of the legal department Of the
county, he is willing to accept an in
ferior position for a time, just to get
his hand In. Daily and nightly the
only thing he sees now is a vision that
inspires him so as to lift him clean
above 1.-The maddened crowds ignobIe

seat that Stan Donnelly has filled the
past three years with such gratifica-

question doth Mr. Cambell exercise his
fertile brain during his every lucid
moment till he doth dream again. and
if some day an ''ad." appears in one Of
the papers, reading: "Wanted-A good.
popular Republican, who will consent
to be groomed by me for county attor-
ney and appoint me assistant in con-
sideration for the grooming" those
reading it will know to whom to apply.
