SisterSville, February 1S.-Since it
has become generally known that the
new city charter has passed, the next
question on the minds OF the people is
who will be the candidates for mayor
| and council? The election will take
place on the fourth Thursday in March,
and it will be but a short time now IN
I'll all OF the conventions will have TO
be held, at least twenty days prior to
| the day OF election. So far the ar
engagements for none Of them have been
made, but il is likely one or two of
them will be held within the next ten
days. There Will be no politics in the
election, as the majority of the best
people on both parties are strictly OPP
posed to such a thing. Who the candi-
dates for the various offices will be is
the question now, and it is one which
is interesting all CT the people. That
there will be hot fight for the mayor
atty this year there seems to be no
doubt, and the candidate who succeeds
in getting the position will have to
work for it. There are several persons
in the field now for the principal office
in the gift Of the city, and among them
may be mentioned the present Mayor
5. ". Lawrence, Capt. J. II. Pine, II. \.
McMullen and one or two others. OF
