One voter and tax payer said to
us on Wednesday that one of the
results Of the election Of the day
before. was to define the factional
lines OF the Komeros aud the Fon
telienp, Mr.. Nuckoll's candidacy
being champioHed by the former,

derson, should he determine to
become u candidate to succeed
himself as Sheriff, must resist
any growth Of strength Of Mayor
Fontolicn, or those supported by
hint being common talk that
Mr. Fonlelieu will be u candidate
for tho Sheriif's Office 1t the next
general election. TheI efore, tho
success Of Mr.. NuckolPs candida
cy would rebound to Mr.. Hender
sons future strength, while Mr..
DeBlanc's 4 success would rebound
to the future prestige Of Mr.. Fon
telieu's political ambitions.
All such expressions may be en-
t!rely foreign to the minds of the
gentlemen who are made the prin
cIpals-but sometimes such TIL
mors gain such strength as will
create n condition, If not an issue,
that will shape future results.
The Preferential system Of voting
would sliflc such talk before it
was uttered. 1t would try out
one contest at a time-on its mer-
it's, or thoss of the respective can

relieve the candidates of the ne
cessty of making embarrassing
prediction promises In order to
secure votes.
