City Politics.
kEpU UBIICAN,

nominees Tor city offices year ago
there are many said to be willing t,
enter the race this spring, and tn,
city convention next Saturday eve
ming is expected to be quite spirited
| This is as it should be, indicating /
proper interest in public affairs
which tends to good government.
Mayor Cobbs administrator has
been so satisfactory that renomina.
ton will be given him by common
consent if he will accept, which
however, he is disinclined to do
Thus far no other gentleman is
known to be desirous of wearing the
title Your Honor" but there is no
lack of good material, and should
the present incumbent persist in his
determination to retire, some other
worthy citizen will of course be
found to head the republican ticket.
Several are mentioned for the posi-
ton, and the selection of either
would meet popular approval, and
his election insure an honest admin
istration of city affairs. Among them
are: VIM. n. Curry, DR.. Stansmore
Vivian, John Dave, b. Il. PrideauX,
Samuel Hooking, ct at.
Three gentlemen are pronounced
candidates for the nomination for
city treasurer, to-wit: John f..
Hosking, James NJ. Toay and VIM.
H. Bleyett. Each is a deserving cit.
izen, and either will make good
officer.
For Municipal Judge, the place at
present acceptably filled by Mr.. .Jno.
b. Reynolds, there is one candidate
announced namely, Mr.. j. j. Kuel-
ling, present justice of the peace in
First Ward. Many hope that Mr..
Reynolds will accept denomination.
Either is all right for the place.
Alfred Penhallegon made such a
good run last year for assessor that
everybody recognizes him as the
logical republican ndidate for the
same place on the ticket, provided
he will consent.
Either because of the slim COM
pensation for the work required, a
dearth of suitable material. or for
some other reason, candidates for
the city clerkship are slow of devel-
opment. The city convention can,
however, be safely trusted to find a
man for the place.
Henry Ovitz and Jacob Rink each
has friends who desire his nomina-
ton for city marshal, and will be
heard from in the convention.
-Four suitable men for street com
missioner will submit their names
to the convention. They are W. II.
Jacka, Joseph PrideauX, Anthony
Huztable and stephen Reed. The
election of eitherwill insure the city
a good officer.
Thus far the finding of ii republi-
can candidate for city attorney is an
unanswered conundrum.
But little is heard as to candidates
for ward offices. The name of r. j.
Hughes for alderman in the first, has
been suggested, and many there
think J. w. Hutchison should be
elected supervisor, which position
he has SO acceptably filled by APP
pointment. In the second there Is
excellent material for supervisor or
alderman for instance John Knight,
5. II. Shepard, James Jackson, Jas.
Brewer, John p. Prisk, and others.
The Third can make good selections
from such men as Ben Blewett, n.
Trcweek. John II. Osborne, David
Brown. Jr., and John. {. Martin. In
the Fourth there is plenty of good
timber for any position. such as :.
Thomas, Chas. Vim, Frank Potter,
Fred Vivian and stephen Wilkins.
But that any Of these will accept IS
not known.
DEMOCRATIC.
