Jake Admire's hint: The appointment
of Mr.. ]. p. Renshaw as clerk of Judge
McAtee's court is significant. Renshaw
is a Republican and is a secretary of the
territorial Republican committee. This
appointment is significant, but just what
il signifies probably Judge McAtee
knows. Formerly Judge McAtee was a
Democrat. That was just before and at
ter the last election Of Mr.. Cleveland
from whom he received his appointment.
1t is an open secret that he has been
an active candidate for disappointment
since the election of Mr.. Mckinley. There
by tale may hang, and it may not hang
thereby. In this EZRA of good feeling
there is no knowing just how, when or
where the cat Is going to jump.
