THE OLD AND THE NEW.
when the Incomip County Omcers Will
Assume Their Duties.

There has been a good deal OF discus
sion lately among the old county off,
Gals and the county oficials-elect rs
TO when the change in the offices Is to
be made. The law states that the new
officials shall take their positions on
the first Monday in January next sue
ceeding their election. This ear Jan. 1
comes on Sunday and the New Years
holiday will be observed or Monday.
the next day. Some of the present
county officials are claiming that as the
first Monday in January is to be OBJ
served as a holiday. and Is in fact a
holiday, they will not relinuish their
offices until the succeeding Monday.
or Jan. .. 1t Is not only populists
who are thus trying to squeeze in an
other sweet week Of official service, but
even Sheriff Regain is in doubt just
when to succeed himself. He is greatly
worried in trying to determine when
his first term ends and his second term
begins.
c. p. Connolly, the new county attor-
ney. anticipates no trouble, for he in
tends to assume the function of the
office Just as soon as Mr.. Stapleton. the
present county attorney. starts for Hell
ena to assume his position in the legis-
Iature. Some of the other officials may
have more trouble in assuming their
Offices on time.
There has been some question also ms
10 whether the legislature will meet on
Jan. 2 or Jan. Q, and the question was
submitted 10 Attorney General Nolan,
who settled II yesterday very emphati-
cally. He said that beyond all dues-
ton the legislature Will meet on Jan. 2

II. Mantle a Dark Horse

Is Senator Lee Mantle being groomed
as the next republican candidate for
governor? That Is certainly the gossip
around town just now. There Is every
indication that the two wings of the
republican party in this county are get
ting closer and closer every day until
they are almost treading on each
others toes. Gossip In that the republi-
can party is to be reconstructed on the
expansion idea. IL is understood that
the anti-Mantle wing will be permitted
TO name the candidate for mayor In
the spring and that Mantle is 20 have
the nomination for governor In 1900.
The people Of this town are wonder
ing whether all the wounds can be
healed in that time. Will they support
Mantle on the square?
