political Pointers.

Two candidates for city marshal on the Republican ticket have already made their appearacce. They are. Christie Vick and A. D. Burds. Either, one would make a good officer. —o— M. B. Price, the present county surveyor, will again be a candidate for renomination. Other names that have been mentioned for this office are Hugh Gamble, of Rensselaer, and W, L. Lewis, of Union township, although the latter has not yet expressed bis intention of making the race, we understand. For county treasurer we have heard the name of ex-township trustee, John A. Lamborn, of Carpenter township, mentioned, although we understand he will not make the race if any one else the office. Mr Lamborn is well qualified to All the office and would make a strong candidate. So far no one in Jasper county has appeared to make the race against Charles Hanley for circuit fudge. Mr. Hanley has received much encouragement in all parts of the county and is pretty sure of receiving the entire vote of the county if no other candidate appears. As Jasper county has the majority of delegates this would insure his nomination. —o—

Owing to the contemplated remove! of Commissioner Dowell to the west, there will be three commissioners to elect this year. As Mr.Waymire has moved from the district in which he was elected to that represented by Mr. Dowell, it would probably be wise to give him the nomination from Mr. Dowell’s district. For joint representative for Newton and Lake counties the name of Jesse E. Wilson, of Rensselaer, has been mentioned. No better selection could be made and we believe Lake county this year will acknowledge the justice of Jasper's claim and allow us to name the candidate. For township council men for Marlon tpwnshlp we suggest the names of the present council —George W. Goff, Harvey W. Wood and J. C Porter. They have given the best of satisfaction during their term of office. Marshal Simpson will again be a candidate on the Democratic ticket. He says be thinks he is entitled to the office again, as the legislature shortened hip term two years at the last session. Dr. Kay’s Renovator for dyspepsia.
