event. In fact, it is not believed that
Mr. Atkinson can get enc solitary vote
from the county of Ohio, in any con-
tingency. Like some other distinguish
ed statesmen, G. Wesley stands rather
better away from home than where
he is best known. This might also be
said of Mr.. Scott, if other things were
even; but Mr.. Scott has a great big
pull, as things now are, and has intiu-
ences at work which will be more pro-
ductive of results in certain contin-
gencies than his own genial personality
could bring forth. It's AN exemplifica-
ton of the old saw that it is much bet
gentle goddess who presides over I'M
certain things took fancy to Mr..
Scott years ago, and things have come
his way SO fast he has been kept busy
lodging them.
Coming down to city politics, al
though it is a trifie early for that, it
is conceded that Mayor Butts will have
no trouble in securing the Republican
nomination for another term, with
Charley Watkins in his old place as
City Clerk, and Will Clemans for City
sergeant. In fact, all the present Off
Gals have an idea they will succeed
themselves, and there appears to be no
room for outsiders. This is, perhaps,
the natural outcome Of a close local
organization. There is also some talk
of a movement among the friends or
President Chew, of the Second Branch
of Council, in the direction Of securing
his nomination for Sheriff The thing
hasn't crystaliZed as yet, but the mat
ter has been preached. By the way,
Mr.. Chew would have made very
strong candidate for Senator. But he
had no friend at Court.
Uncle Jimmy Nichols is making
considerable progress in the direction
Of the Democratic nomination for
Chief Of Police, and has host OF warm
friends. There will be others, now
ever. And by the way, friends OF ex-
Mayor C. w. Seabright are thinking
pretty hard about renominating Cnar-
ley for his Old PLACE nTdtr tne> sly
government. In this they run up
against the friends Of August Wiede-
busch, who are convinced he would
make a record-breaking run. Some
\
toned, and it may be there will be
quite contest On bye-and-bye.
Somebody has been wondering why
the Intelligencer has had nothing to
say about the excellence Of the se,ec-
ton for District Chairman, made by
Captain Dovener. We're not in the
secret. Some of Captain DOvener's
constant friends may know something
about it.
Somebody wishes to know why B. S.
Allison wouldn't make a good Repub-
lican candidate for Mayer lie would;
nomination by the fact that Mayor
Butts is still living and able to so
about alone.
1t is generally understood among
friends Of Capt. T. d. Bennett that he
will be a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Sheriff. Other names
which are prominently mentioned in
this connection are those of w. P. Nc
KelVey, Charles Dannenberg, H. p.
McGregor and NJ. A. Chew. Capt. W.
H. Travis and Clerk T. C. Moffat may
again try for the nomination.
The name of Mr. w. A. Wilson, of
North Main street, has been promi
nently mentioned in connection with
the First district Senatorial nominal
ton. Ohio county is entitled to the
honor thig time. No better man than
Mr.. Wilson could be found if he would
accept. He is well known all over the
district, a thoroughly representative
citizen and Democrat.
Mr.. /. F. Jones, of Elm Grove, is also
ravOrably spoken of in connection with
the nomination. Mr.. Jones is another
strong man, and would make a great
run if he would accept.
City Collector j. Kelsey Hall is re
ported to be carefully protecting his
forces for the State Authorship nomi-
nation two years hence.
