 A week from Saturday will occur the annual borough election and although it is less than two weeks away, but very little interest is manifested as yet in the event, and but very few names are mentioned as probable candidates for the various offices. For the posi- tion of warden on the republican ticket there is but one name mentioned. and it is probable that there will be no other. There is no doubt but that Henry B. Hall, the present incumbent, will be the unanimous choice of the caucus, and there is no doubt but that he will be elected b handsome major ity, as during the year he has proved himself especially fitted for the posi- fion and it is the general verdict of all, irrespective of party, that he has been one of the best, if not the best, war dens that has filled the position since JllG uOIOuSl w pOl oiiS So- tpecial feature of his administration has been his endeavors to give the citizens what is most desired, especially so by the bicyclists, and that is good roads.
 Main street, uptown, is in the best condition than at any time since the town was first settled over 200 years ago, and the good work has been car- ried out on other street, notably Colony and Ward streets. It is generally be- lieved that Warden Hall is the right man in the right place, and it is safe to say that he will be kept there another year. On the democratic side the names mentioned for warden are George w. Backes, H. w. Andrews and A. D. Me Lean. The first named has already an- nounced that heis not @ candidate and would not accept the nomination under any circumstances, as he has all that he can attend to in his own manufac- turing business. H. w. Andrews laugh ed at the idea of his being a candidate as his business was one that required his presence out of town the larger part of the time and that the salary attach ed to the position, $200 a year, was not sufficient to even make him consider the probability of being in an uncertain race for the position. A. D. Mclean, the other name mentioned, has not as yet openly expressed his views on the subject, but will probably be heard from later. As for the other positions on the ticket there is as yet but little speculation. For clerk 1t is probable that Frary Hale, the present incum- bent, will be the unanimous choice of both caucuses, as he is the most capable man in the borough to fill the position and is acknowledged as such by both parties. The other positions Will be fill- ed by the caucus, when the time came, but as yet the candidates have not been brought out.
