“These are the tinies tide of men’s souls,” Allen Byers will succees himself as County Commisssioner. Wim. Vanarsdall will be the black horse in the republican mayorality race. Yes, the democracy will have a full city ticket in the field this spring, and a winner, too. No person seems to want to be county assessor, at least no one on either ticket is spoken of yet for the place. Mike Zellers: (between a cough and a grunt)—“Wred Bandel—d—a Dutch man—wants to be mayor—just think of it—got no sense.” It is said that Harry Pontious will pit himself against Mit Scott for the nom ination for city clerk. If he does Mit will know he has opposition, “Liar, scoundrel,” etc.,, were some of the endearing terms passed by members of the city council on Monday night, re sulting from the purchase of new ma chinery for the electric light plant, Michael J. Carrol is sent as a candi date for Joint Senator for the counties of Montgomery and Putman. Mike is one of the greatest democratic hustlers and if nominated will undoubtedly be elected. Several of the candidates for council men devote as much time to electioneer ing for these positions as if they were very valuable. It may be there is more money in these places than many are aware of. John A. Booe is talked of as the prob able democratic candidate for Mayor. Mr. Booe is peculiarly fitted to make the Trace and eminently qualified for the position he will be elected to fill if he should accept the nomination. ven Marshall Nye, the jolly pill-sell er, has become ambitious and wants to represent his ward in the city council. The “bloody third” is the roosting pit of the “Three B's” who have an old score to even up with Marshal and will work for his nomination just to get to knife him at the election, Republican candidates for councilmen are as thick as flies in August. Ben Myers has sprung up in the first ward, making the fourth in that ward, GC. L. Thomas, Austin Tomlison, and D. CG. Smith from the second and Ed Reynoke and M. M. Nye from the third and sev eral precints yet to hear from. The friends of Benton Snyder, the present trustee, of Ripley township, are quietly discussing his name as a candi date for Auditor in the race in 1892. In 1886 Mr. S. was urged for the place by many, but would not then consent. Mr. Snyder is considered one of the best trustees who has held the office, keeps the affairs of his office in fine business shape, and, would doubtless do equially as well in the auditor's office. For some time past the republican managers have displayed a feeling of un easiness in regard to the non-appearance of some of the old campaigners in the po litical arena, but their fears were con verted to joy this week when they read Alf. Lofland’s annual announcement for Sheriff in the Journal It has become a political necessity for Alf. to announce. A campaign without him being in the race would be like taking the essence from the rose.
