REPUBLICAN POSSIBILITIES. Some of the Political Gossip ConcernIng - Ing Monday's Convention. Two names have boon mentioned by republicans as mayoralty possibil ities In connection with next Monday's city convention. Jack Koenlgsteln has been talked of and the name ot J. D. Sturgeon has also been brought forth. The mere mention of the name of Ed Harter as the probable republican nominee for city clerk , has been ap plauded by all Norfolk. Apparently everybody In Norfolk is Ed Harter's friend. The sunahino of his dlsposl- ' tion , despite all of his pain and suffer ing In this world , has been consider- ed nothing short of remarkable and "it has made him friends everywhere For through all his tribulations. EC Harter has never been known to growler or to frown. That ho Is worthy the ofllco to which he will probably bo elected , Is conceded by all , and from the Indications , Norfolk is slmpl > waiting now for a chance to cast a vote for Harter. In connection with the republican nomination for city treasurer. Chris Anderson Is being prominently men tloned. W. P. Lognn , who was also spoken of , declines to allow his name to be. usedv Mr , .
