RANDOM POLITICAL SHOTS.

Isn't it about time the Missourians
were trotting out Judge Royal for some
place on the ticket?
There will be no place in the approach
ing campaign for barnaces on either
ticket. 1t is going to be a lively tilt and
only live men will have any show.
There is bitter fight on between the
Iins and the outs in the democratic ranks,
and close observer sees but little
chance of patching up the quarrel.
| j. l.. Beaman says positively that he
is not ambitious to head the republican
ticket. He has good position with the
Bessemer Ditch Co and will not be Il
candidate.
The remains of the populst party is
talking of getting together and putting
full ticket in the field. 1t sold out last
spring to the highest bidder but is back
on the old principle" track once more.
We shall see.
Friends of w. II. Ellington have urged
him to come out for the shrievalty but
he steadfastly refuses to listen to any ar
gument. He is an aspirant for the post
office and his political ambition goes no
further at this time.
The sentiment of the colored voters of
Bsssemer Is that ex-Polceman +. j.
Grady shall be their candidate for con-
stable. Grady made good policeman
and his friends are proud to bring him
| out now on his record.
b. +. Baldwin will not be candidate
for county clerk notwithstanding the
talk to the contrary. This leaves clear
sailing for j. Nj. Meales in the republi-
can convention. f. G. Middelkamp may
be his opponent on the democratic
ticket.
The republican party are sure of sue
cess. They are not going to be buncoed
this time.-Standard.
Glad to know that it are. or course
the Standard man, who first gave Il out
that he was going to start up a roaring
democratic paper, am supposed to know.
"Bessemsr' Biddls is hot on the trail
Of the county treasuryship. Now that
the city treasurer has moved down on
the mesa he thinks that the other treas
uryship should come to Bessemer. II
Biddle ever gets an opportunity to de
claim one ofhis favorite selections before
tho convention he will be sure winner.
G. w. Collins has no hesitancy in say
ing that he is candidate for rsnomina-
tion to the office of district attorney and
is willing to run on his record. L. b.
Gibson will probably be his most form
liable rival in the convention in the
9, ent that w. b. Yates is not candi-
date.
Al the meeting Monday night Mrs,
Olin attempted to speak, but G. c. Rob
inson rose to the occasion and acted like
a mad bull in china shop. He literally
tore up the earth. Who're is Colorado
chivalry, or rather let us say common
decency, that would allow man to act
in that manner towards lady. o file!
Tho Call.
Following is partial list of names
mentioned more or less for sheriff:
Beaman, Bell, Hancock,
Curtis, Frazier. Ellington, Sears, Long,
Granger. Woodard.
Democrats Stewart, Dempsey
Park, French, Dustin and fourteen 9th
ers.
Populists-McGinty.
Tho colorsd man was not far out OF
the way when he said that "a scared
dollar never got a office" AS politici
go now the man who is afraid to put 9
dollar into campaign is not in it at all
Occasionally one Of the penurious sort
manages to sneak through by hanging
on to the coat tails Of others, but a.
rule the scared dollar doss not gst tn,
lofics.
