The otreot corners are well filled nit
knota of mon whoso earnest manner an
quick gestures Indicates at once the ofllc
seeker or hla sattellito. To these famllla
with the present fight in all its phases
and even to these who nro what is knovr
as bolng on the "Inside , " there Is an olc
mont of uncertainty which makes It D
the moro interesting. From an outsld
point of observation the st'ugglo also ha
Its features of Interest in that n dcslro I
felt to got the beat mon.
The BEE in Lincoln is no poll tic i
organ , and therefore la nblo to treat al
Impartially and without bias. It pur
poses simply to rjlvo the iiamcu of tin
aspirants and what they asplro to. Tin
' county treasurorehlp , which Is the lead
Ing pltco , is , BO far as known , Bought foi
by four gentlemen , to wit : W. 0. Griffith
Jacob 11 joho , Laiiia Helmor and
Burnham. Mr. Qulmer haa alroidy hole
the oflicaand has a good record. Grifliil
lias friends and enemies , but bis recorc
has not been acB&iled. Jacob Itocho Ii
said to bo a great favorite among the
Germane and will draw largo strong ! ! :
from that element. Mr. Burnham Ii
alleged to bo the machine candidate anc
IB backed by that element.
The county clerkship does not scorn tc
bo much nought after , Mr. O. 0. Boll
the present deputy clotk , being the onlj
declared candidate thua far , althougl
there will bo others nho will put them
eelvcs forward as dark horeca.
Tha office of register of deeds Is now
more Important than the county olork-
alilp , and thcroforo there ara already tvc
candidates for the plnco , namely : John
H. McOlay and J. D. Knight. Botb
gentlemen are favorably spoken of.
Snm Mellck , the present sheriff , will
have a walk-away on that nomination.
There are several candidates for the
county oommhslonorship , and they are
hotly canvassing. H. G. Ikovos , uf Elk
precinct , McFarlaud , of Woat Oik , Dick
Oooloy , and J. E. Shotwoll are the names
of these who desire to succeed Mr.
Wollor , who has slgnlGcd hie iutentlon of
not running og&ln. Since the publica
tion of the BEE'S expoao of the cocn-y
commisaionora' zing tbcro has grown up
In the county a strong feel leg In this
particular. The statuts allowJ the votcrj
of any county ia the state
to chooao their own form of
government , tint Is ns between
commlisloners and Buporvlcori. Farmers
generally ate In f&vcr of the nua1. eco
nomical administration cf ail'ilr ; , 2nd
with care suporvlsarj could do t la The
* foiling ia very strong against tbo present
extravagances of the board. Ttvo years
ago the republican county conroutlcn
favored township orgaulzitlon , bub the
county officers by raising money defeated
the project. Sines then it baa been agi
tated with varying resuUs. It la Hkoly
now that.tha farmers will combine with
other persons favorably InolinoJ , and
make an effort to oust the present com
misaionora and substitute the supervisors.
As the oo nty can adopt the proposition
by vote nomtth'ng may bo done.
