I'VE soon had the community dis.
cussing Mr.. Gallatin as the next mayor
and the other candidates gradually dis.
appeared from the field. A month be.
fore the election he had only two pos
sible competitors, but as they were
never mentioned in the papers as such
except indifferently they seemed al.
most forgotten.
In the meantime grew more jeal.
Gus of the president of the school
board. He seemed to look at me in a
patronizing way when we met, and
noticed that Ella always spoke of him
in tones of respect. and | sometimes
feared, with affection. was disposed
to quarrel with her, but restrained my.
self and exulted in the thought that
tables upon them and show Miss Ella
that he was not such a big man after
all.
Occasionally. I had vague suspi.
cion that one of the other members Of
the club had his eyes upon the same
position | had, and with the same OBJ.
ject in view. and pumped and watched
them industriously. 1t did not take me
long to discover that Rush had the
promise of the city COmptrollership.
The regular item which he furnished
was the report of the clearing house,
and he had acquired liking for finan-
Cial transactions. Collins, who had
been admitted to the bar but had never
pr~~tlced. and did the work of the

and Trahey calculated on being chief
of police. Walbaum spoke of opening
a fine saloon after awhile. and. no
doubt, had promise of q license in
some exclusive locality.
THE ambitions Of the other fellows
seemed sordid in comparison with my
own, and | did not envy them. No
doubt, each fathOmed or at least sus-
pected the plans OF the others. so there
was no jealousy in the club and things
progressed tremendously.
I 1T was four weeks before the elect
ton. Gallatin's boom. thanks to his
and our efforts, was in full blast and
Lets on him against the field were five
to one. One afternoon | had spent an
hour in writing about the city election.
