distribution of mail. IL is explained
that the abbreviation "Ia" might be
mistaken for Indiana, while the alb
breviation so" might be taken for
Idaho, those sbbreviations being used
in those states as much as they are
Iowa.

came withiu scratch of being a
clean sweep for the Republicans.
Their regular caudidated were elected
in the Third and Fourth wards, and
the "Citizen" candidate in the First,
and the Independents candidate in the
Second, are both Republicans. They
tied for honors in the Fifth, but lost
in the toss up. This will leave only
three Democrats ia the new council,
a condition that has not existed be-
fore for many years. In caucuses by
that body the Republicans will have
five straight, Sinclair, Sewers, Baker,
Christie and Cole, one Independent
Republican, Mr.. Glaze, and one Citi-
zen Republican, Mr.. Hetherington.
The three Democrats are O'Hearne,
Augustine and Ralston.

deputy clerk of the supreme court

a position he filled acceptably for
nearly four years. During this time
Mr.. Whelan's abilities we're recogniz.
ed as being of a high order, and
strictly on his merits eh was advan-
ced to the position of Deputy Auditor
of State perhaps the most important
as well az most difficult subordinate
position in the state service, and it
was while filling this position that
Auditor Merriam was taken sick in
California. Thus all of the RESPONSE
bilities of the Office were thrown up
on Mr.. Whelan, aud he proved fully
equal to the occasion, receiving many
compliments for the admirable man
ner in which he conducted this inn
portant department of state. He is
at present holding the position of
state bank examiner. The state
officials generally consider him good
authority on commercial law, and
the bankers commend mis- ability as
an expert accountant.
Mr.. Whelan has been an active
worker in the Republican party ever
since his boyhood. He is a good or
ganizer, has genial personality, is
a "good mixer" and has wide ac-
quaintance throughout the state,
which facts, taken in connection
with his unquestioned fitness for the
office he seeks, makes him strong
candidate with splendid chance of
winning out.

It was due, in fact and chiefly, to
Republican dissatisfaction with the
nomination of a man so lately a parti-
san Democrat. II Mr.. Furnish had
been a Webster or a Grant, the Re
publican masses would have willingly
accepted his being put at the head Of
the party. Commanding talent would
have excused the turning down of es-
tablished party leaders. But Mr. Fur
nish had not any superior ability for
the leadership Every community has
his equal in every respect, and the
partys substantial men we're offended
at his being in the lead. This, and
not Chamberlaln's popularity caused
the defeat of a worthy man whose
election would have been an object
lesson for thousands of Democrats to
join the g. o. p.
In selecting Mr.. Furnish, it was
thought his neroism in quitting his
party on a great vital issue would
give him a prestige equal to superior
talents of statesmanship.
The expectation was not well
founded.
Chamberlain's luck stood him In
good stead. Yet the Republican mass
es feel that his election has not jeop-
ardzed any public interests.
