The Burglaries.

There seems to be some contin-
nance of these affairs in a very di-
minutive way. Outside of Wolfes
safe, there does not appear much
cause for alarm. Little, trivial
scoopings of the genuine gatherer
on his risks are not very apparent.
Whoever they are; it is to be hoped,
the officers and well-meaning ciii-
zens will soon solve the problem.

WESTBkUUk.

Politics are decidedly warm in this city
and without douby the people win see one
of tho liveliest elections ever held. The
contest comes particularly on the head of
tie ticket. There are three candidates
for mayor, William E Aver, Republican ;
King ). Raymond, Democrat, tho pres.
ent mayor, and Z. ". Wentworth, the
Citizens candidate. Last year Mayor
Raymond was nominated and elected by
a combination CT Democrats and Citizens
voters. This year the Citizens have with
drawn their support from him and he Is
now dependent upon the support OF
tho Democracy for election. The Repub.
licnn candidate Mr.. william e. Aver, is
young man well qualified for the p
s!tion. He has a very large following
and will put up lively tight. The can
didate of the Citizens, Mr.. Charles W.
Wentworth Is an able man and Will
probably poll n large vote.
1t is probable that there Will be consid'
eratle cutting, many OF the Democrats
voting for their own candidates while
others will vote for Candidate Wentworth.
The remainder of the ticket will, with
out doubt. be Republican. Us the party
made some very strong nominations.
Tho candidates for city clerk win doubt
less receive the largest vote thrown rs
there arc but two candidates, Mr.. Ed.
ward II. Smith. the Republican candi-
date, ard former occupant of the position,
and the present clerk. Mr.. William Nj.
Limb, the Democrat and Citizens can
didate. The Indications point strongly
to the election of Mr. Smith as he has a
strong following of Republicans. Demo-
Gratis and Citizens voters pledged to his
support. Mr.. Lamb is entirely dependent
upon the vote of the Democratic and Citi-
zens' party for his election.
