The Political Situation.

interests in all parts of the city.
Mayor Parker, who for the part two
years has served the people, is again
a candidate for denomination, and his
friends claim that he is entitled to an
other term. The mayor may have
made mistakes, but at the same time
there are many things to his credit,
and he has staunch supporters who
are anxious to retain him in office.
Former Mayor Dietrich is also a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion and is hustling to secure the dele
gates. Mr.. Dietrich has served the
city and has made a name for himself,
and has a strong following, all OF
whom are anxious to see him again
occupy the mayors chair.
Jas. II. Agen, prominent business
man and influential citizen, has been
urged to seek the nomination, and so
the fight in the republican ranks at
the present time is a three cornered
one Who will win the plum it is hard
to say.
On the democrat side the most
prominant candidate is Charles O'Hare
of the East End.
Mr.. O'Hare has served several times
as alderman always with credit to
himself and for the welfare of the city,
and has a clean record, and if elected
would make an ideal m igor. He has
many friends, regardless of party
who would be pleased to see him Sc
cure the nomination.
For super visor in the First Ward the
friends of James Bardon, Esq, are
hoping that he will accept the nomin-
alton. He has been a member of the
county board for several years past
and is one of the prominent members
in that body. He thoroughly under
stands the county affairs and his ad
vice is sought on all matters of i'm
lance, and is one of the most valuable
men on the board. At the presen,
time it looks as though Mr.. BardoI
parties.
For aldermen in the First Ward il
i, understood that Charles 4 chan
who has served the city faithfully anG
well during the past two years, il
not seeking re- election and the
friends of w. H. Webb are insisting
that he accept the nomination on tha
republican ticket. At the present
time the selection of candidates for
the city council is a very important
one, and only men of good business
ability should be selected. The settle
ment of the vexatious bond question
and other important matters will come
before the next council, which will
require men of experience and iudg-
ment to contend with. Mr.. Webb for
the past twenty years has been en-
gagged in the real estate business and
in many important relations connected
with the welfare of the city, thorough
ly understands the situation, is pro-
gressive, enterprising citizen and
would look after the city's interest the
same as he does his own private
affairs.
The democrats are talking of nomi-
mating Geo. W. Kane as their candi-
date for alderman from this ward, and
in doing so they will make no mis-
take Mr.. Kane is business man, as
we'll as prominant citizen of ability,
and it is an assured fact that if either
Mr.. Webb or Mr.. Kane are elected.
! the First Ward will have an able
representative in the council.
For the other officers there are
| numerous candidates but who will se
cure the prizes the people must decide
There are numerous candidates for
the new office of assessor, but so far
we hear of none from the East End,
but presume there are those who
would not object to trying to fill the
place.
