that the powers that be, in Washington,
would not make any changes in the

which expires one year from next June,
but the rumor was not directly confirmed
and the aspirants worked and toiled on
accommodating the diversified signatures
of the sundry taxpayers and citizens, in
the hope that the president could be in

the house of Greenewald will all get in
the saddle; Clan Smith will have an uD-

the government will reap an increased
harvest from the sale of stamps which
will be used on correspondence which
will speed from here to there, as the
saying is, in an attempt to alter the de-

All of the candidates for the place do

THE MARSHALSHIP.
There seems to be a well grounded be-
lief that the marshal's office will be filled
at an early date. Mr.. Brigham's term,
it is asserted has virtually expired al
ready according to custom, and he is.
to the McKinleyites views, fit subject
for deca pitation right now. Whether he
will be sawed off ere June is a question,
but it is q safe prediction. that as soon
as the big offices are disposed of the
president will have his attention called
to the fact that a good chance to create
a vacancy exists right here. and swish
will go the official axe and the name of
either Hort Sherman or-------- VIII
be sent in for the place. The blank left
for the name will not be filled by the
sobriquet of Harvey Hardy or Guthrie
either 1t will be Hoyt, or the friend of
Bushnell alluded to in columns a
day or so ago.
