 l Although the proveroial municipal l pot of politics was placed on the oven some weeks ago, the damper was left down and 1t Is only just now that the | simmering stage has been reached. For the office of chief executive, so | far only two aspirants have declared, Pat J. Lyons, the incumbent and Saf- | fold Berney, a member of the alder manic branch of the general council. | The first named is wholesale mer- chant, the latter local counsel in the general office of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
 Recent events in municipal circles, fully aired in The Advertiser, are alleged to have been the occasion of the slight bubbling of the water In the pot political. The principal event was the matter of the office of chief of police. While there has been no strenuosity on the part of any one there has been faint murmurlngs which leads the fortunates within the inner circle to believe there will be "spmething doing ere long and the police depart ment will figure therein very largely. For the office of City Attorney B. B. Boone, the incumbent, and Francis T. Inge are tho only aspirants so far de- Jared. These gentlemen are already getting round among their friends and those who are so far non-committal. The entries for city clerk are not yet closed, although Messrs W. T. Holt and Adolph Dame are passing around bits of pasteboard telling the glad news that each is willing to sacrifice his other interests in order to serve the city as its clerk.
 There are slight movements noticea- ble in the matter of the position on the Board of Public Works. to be made through the expiration of the term of President c. Lawrence Lavretta. The name of a member of the general coun- | icl has been whispered about in con- nection with the succession, though l though the gentleman, HlInSeiI, nus ED | far not declared himself.
