Herbert b. Martin is candidate
for the Union Republican nomination
for member of City Council from the
Second ward.
EX-Congressman Handy took time
to shake hands with numerous
friends yesterday who appeared to
think he would be named for United
States Senator by Governor Tun-

There are no less than fifty appli-
cants tor each position in the Street
and Sewer Department and every
individual, who thinks he has even
a slight chance of being appointed
is busy getting signatures to petit
tions. We would say that their
petitions are not worth the paper
they are written on. They will cut
no figure in selecting the lucky in
dividuals. The men to fill the posi-
tons have been picked out and all
that is now required is the passing
of the resolution declaring all the
positions vacant the last of this
month.
James s. Anderson is pressing
his claims on the party for one OF
the Supervisors of Streets. He is
one of our intelligent colored men

position. He was removed at Wash
ington, D. c., where Senator Hig-
gins had procured him a position
under the Government, by Secretary
of State Gresham, under President
Cleveland, to give Democrat from
the South his position.
Charles Smith, the barber at 9th
and Shipley streets is after one of
the new supervisors positions.

sound political sense. A party adj
vocate that attempts to drive votes
away from the party tickets fool
ish counsellor.

81 have been reading your paper
for number of years and always
found your advice good and reason
able. but the party to which you

tors, and not then, if there is more
than one set. ! have voted to send
two sets of Legislators to Dover to
elect a L. S. Senator. That is all l
wanted them to do. l don't care
anything about bird, or rabbit or
divorce laws and the hundred and
one other useless laws they create.
All | wanted them to do was to elect
a Senator, and they failed both
times. Now l will vote for no more
Legislators, but do hope the time
will soon come when Senators will
be elected by a popular vote of the
people.
