The Legislature having failed TO pass
the Railroad Commission bill, providing
for tho appointment Of member frun
;each county, an effort win be made to en-.
graft the matter in the new constitution,
and thus create another drain on the
money in the State treasury. 1t is pity
that provision cannot DO made TO pension
every aspirant for position In our State,
without taxing the great mass of the
people to death. Commissions may serve
some good purpose, but 1t seems to US that
the people have to pay roundly for all that
they get out Of them. Our lawmakers
seem to go hand in hand with the seekers
after the spells.

POLITICAL NOTES..

Gold Wing Of the Party-The
Single Tax Candidates-Sixty-
eighth Voting Districts The
Fight at the Primaries Promises
| to be Hot One.
The Silver Democrats bavo found the
proof that A. L. Johnson's name was
amongst these signed to the call for the
meeting and organization of the Gold
Democrats In our city, last fall and there.
by are jubilant They insist that no gold.
bug Democrat shall be nominated for any
Office in the Municipality election which
takes place on June 9th next. The name
OF DIR. J. w. Fahey was not found among
the men who had signed the call and thaG
fact let's him in on an equal footing with
j. Frank Mccoy. From the present out
look tho fight lies between these two men
on tho Democratic ticket for the noDin-
alton for Mayor.
The only real objection brought to bear
| against jesse X, Baylis was that he was
| gold bug, otherwise nothing could have
| prevented his nomination ON the Demo-
cratic ticket, even Pat Neary acknowl.
edged this fact which is sayiug govd

CANDIDATES BY THE EEAM.
In the Ninth ward, which through the
| efforts OF Frank Bradley, James l.. Haw-
kius and DIR. Evan q. Shortlidge and
others has been kept in the Republican
column, has three candidates for Council.
| manic honors this time Caleb Watson
the present representative in council was
atnl ,ubila r. -ipc
and Jonathan Roberts arc also aspirants
for the same office. The fight will be
triangular one and it will remain for the
closing of the polls on Saturday next to
decide who has the biggest pull on the Re.
~publioan voters.
THE FIGHT FOR COLLECTOR AND ASSESSOR.
The fight for Collector and Assessor for
the Northern district wakes warmer Rs the
time draws near when the voters shall
decide who shall draw the prize which is
equivalent to an election. The report
which has been freely circulated in the
streets Yesterday that Geo. W. Phillips
and Thomas $, Lewis had Withdrawn was
unfounded and a cowardly way Of taking |
advantage OF an oppOnant. None Of the |
candidates arc said to have circulated the |
report or were in any manner responsible |
for 1t being circulated. The four men in |
the field for the honor are Geo. II. Mccall |
Geo. w. Phillips, Thomas S. Lewis and
Samuel Speakman. They are hustling
amongst their friends and leaving no
grass grow under their feet in getting
around amongst the voters In the Fifth
sixth, Seventh Eighth and Ninth wards
to further their chances of success.

for the voters of the Second ward, owing
