The politica lsituation can be bet ter explained at the present time as the lull before the storm. That a ;'oral , is brewing many will admit. but + may dtviop into a tempest in a te5p1t Ey the time it is ready to burst forth upon the voters
 | Gilmore has received some good sound advice by a certain man who he is inclined to take orders or "hCnches" from and Frank has told him t;iar r,. had better cut adrift from so much dead timber he is trying to keep ailoat "You have all you can do to get in under the wire if you run without having so many dead ones attached to you for your support" was the whole some advise given Gilmore So WI are informed.
 It had the desired eTec, for this great political rib9cr Is naw working T. a new slate. 'rat his trends be- lieve may be a winner. The slogan of the "Gilmore Flyer" as it will be termed is: Seven good men pledged to repeal the anti-plumper ordinance in troduced. and passed hy the late city council"
 If We are to believe one-half what we hear two bankers have been asked to join Gilmore and he was assured them that he can get A. Polet to run with him on such ticket. We have our doubts if there can be secured seven good men to run under such a slogan, and A. Polet has come out flat footed and stated he would run on no other ticket than an independent candidate, one who has the interest of the city at heart. and will run because he believes it his duty as citizen to become a member of the city council when th.re is need of him
 The popular verdict of the ordinance from one end of the city to the uthe: is that it is fine ordinance and should have been passed long since. Ther" are exceptions to tho popular belief and a few are very strong 'n their statements against it. But they are in the minority and the majority Q: the taxpayers are strongly in favor If ;he same-that is if We can take the ex- pressed opinion of hundreds )t men
 Frank Mielke, when intervi ,wad as to "declaring his intentions" stated that he would run if Polet would. so he g going to sec Tony in the next ,wnu,v- four hours and make up his miHd one lNay or the other.
 There is a rumor on the street that lYorkeys vote will be challenged on the day of election. but as he has his pa- pers he will take them along so his friends report, so as to produce the goods and be allowed to vote like all other good citizens
 one more position has been awarded by the men who expects to wield the power in the next city council aud that is assessor and tax collector This Is aposition far in the futre but the fellow Is willing to work for the prom ise of the job. Wonder what will be offered next. Why don't some of these office seekers wake up to the fact that the other six members may have prom ised the same positions and they will want a voice in the matter of who will. or should receive any plums. if they can so be called.
 IL looks very much like the old coun- ell with Balke and W. J. Rowe and Polet with Hill. but the new slate which is being framed under the mas ter hand Of Gilmore as we are inform ed. will be a crack-a- jack and every person on it pledged to do everything their political boss directs. We are more than anxious like the public to see what maner Of man Gilmore can get together, other than those we have printed that will obey his beck and call. We printed the Gilmore Flyer which contained the names of Gill; more. Yorkey. Mielke. Reilley KrIcek. Daniels and X. Polet if, he would run, but he says "only as an independent candidate" SO the seventh man is the unknown quantity or dark horse on the slate at the present time.
 We will have to wait for that very deep dope now being cooked, and which Is promised to be ready by Saturday night.
