MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the coming city election, and
already the politicians are grooming
dark horses for the mayoralty, prepar-
atory for the contest this fall Mayor
Glendinning will, in all probability, not
be candidate for reelection. He in
timated as much yesterday, saying in
answer to a question that he did not
know, but believed all his time would
be occupied with his business. 1t is the
| intention of the firm to enlarge some
what and branch out to some extent,
and this will no doubt require more at
tention on the part of his honor than is
required at present.
But the retirement from the race of
Glendinning does not leave the party
without candidate; not by any means.
There is c. P. Mason, and he is being
doomed by his friends already. Mason
| is with the office of mayor something
as was Mckinley with the presidency.
He has been a possibility several times
and is liable to bob up again and again
until he gets DENOMINATION.
Mason is not the only man, either
Morey Evans is again becoming a good
fellow, and the boys who were pushing
him for the place the last time are
again saying what a good time the peo-
pie would have if Evans had been Sc
lected. 1t is contended that if he was
at the head of the government there
would be places for all to fill; that the
boys down in the wards who do the
work wouldn't have to go hungry and
cold in the winter for lack of work,
that there would be plenty in the city.
And these prospects are being held up
again and, while it is several months
ere the new administration will sup
plant the old, still the bright star of
hope is being pointed out to the weak
and faltering and they are being urged
to wait a little longer; there's a good
time coming.
Conservative men in the party say
that George A. Lowe would be the per-
son to give the city a business admin
istration, but that isn't what the boost
ers want. What they desire particu-
larly is an administration which will
fill the offices with the people who do
the pulling and hauling on election day
and at the primaries. AS one of them
remarked yesterday, Thank God, there
is no Australian ballot in a primary"
This somewhat irreverent expression
conveys the true inwardness of things.
While Mr. Lowe would be regarded by
! everyone as sound man; one with a
great deal of ability, he would never do
for the men who run the machine and
make the nominations.

There is a well-defined report in cir
culation, and the Republican members
of the city council are the authority for
the same to the effect that, encouraged
by success achieved in getting to be
chairman of the state central commit
tee, your uncle John E. Dooly is going
to shy his castor into the ring and
make the race. One of the city fathers
said yesterday he believed this to be a
fact, and added that if the rumor were
true Uncle John would make the
boys hustle. 1t is a fact. He has
great men behind him; great workers.
Take Robertson, for instance. Every
one remembers how he saved Dolly
when ne was contesting for place on
the board of education. Had it not been
for Rob getting out and hustling
among the boys, borrowing voters from
the primaries in other wards and TAX
ing them up in the Fourth, there would
have been trouble of the most dire
character. And Rob is acquainted with
all the gang. from Youngbergs TO Ho-
bein's, and can get them out when no
other man can, and that Fifth precinct
is a great starter for a candidate in
convention.
CITY TREASURER.>
Jack May is non-committal as to
whether he will run for the treasury
ship OF not He is ''sorter feelin his
way" as they say down in Vermont,
and does not want to make any mis-
takes If the party wants Jack and
Will rise up William Riley and say so,
it can get him, no doubt. If the senti-
ment is not all one sided, then Jack
VIII not make the race.
Then Harry Lytle will shine. Poor
man, he hasn't had any office for long
time, that is any office worth mention
ing, and it is due to him that he get
something soon. All he has had to keep
the gaunt wolf of hunger from his
door has been chief clerkship in the
Office of the collector during the days
of Leonard and Spencer and deputy
treasurer under Jack, and it is time he
should be rewarded for perty fealty
some way. He will be in the race for
the nomination, and in it hard, and
will canvass the city from the White
bridge to Waterloo between now and
the time for the convention.
If Harry should fail to connect there
is another standby who can be relied
upon to sacrifice himself upon the altar
for his country's sake, in the person of
George Olsen. OF course George isn't
saving a thing, but he is after the place
as a matter Of second choice
If George should come IN for this
place il is safe TO say DoXey will not
make the nominating speech Years
