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 , . Anderson Is a younj ,
_ mnn ot ability , and with many frlcnda
who will bo glad to support him ,
nominated.
