which is singing through the Liberal camp today and the indications indi-cations are that there will be a very lively scramble among the American gentlemen for the appointive offices The woods are literally full of em and new applicants are coming in every hour The Tuscaroras are in the front rank of the office seekers and with Old Rip at the head of the machine they expect to carry off the best plums on the municipal tree CITY ATTORNEY It is understood that City Attorney Hall II s tired of public life and wants to retire He will be allowed to do so and the applicants appli-cants for his position are Judge Hoge Mr Bowman and W G Van Home Baskins partner The knowing ones think it lies between Hogo and Van Horne CITY ENGINEER If Mr Doremus bad been olected to the council from the Third precinct he would have retired from the office of city engineer engin-eer of course But ho wasnt elected and so he objects to retiring Doremus points with pride to the aerial sidewalks ho has constructed in the last two years to the tunnellike cuts he has made and to the shade trees he has destroyed Besides I this he chopped the trees down in front of Baskins residence thereby putting a I roll in Old Rips pocket by way of damages dam-ages and he thinks in view of these cmi nent services that he can justly claim the y office for two years more His chief clerk Mr Perkins is also an aspirant for the place but it is generally cenceded that Doremus will hang on SUPERINTENDENT OF WATERWORKS Grand Sachem Billy Ryan of the hobo tribe will be retained as superintendent of waterworks The Tuscaroras were afraid that Ryans braves might leave their wickiups on the bill on election day and bolt the ticket because their chief had been slaughtered In the convention and to avert such a calamity it was agreed that Billy should remain at the head of the colonization bureau for another term This goes I CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT W A Stanton will also be retained as chief of the fire

May will be the deputy city treasurer POLICE JUDGE The candidates for police judge are W W Gee of the Fifth and Fred Kesler and the probabilities are that Gee will Fet tber as Keslers only qualification is that he Is a rantankerous Liberal while his principal defect is that ho is as ignorant of things in general as ho is of the law CITY AUDITOR Of course Ralph Hoag who has so ably i filled the office of auditor for two years will have to po because he is straightout I Democrat The aspirants for this job are j J M Fisher who has served 15 party asa as-a judge of election Bert Raybould a Liberal Lib-eral registrar and Elmer Ellsworth an I alleged funny man DOG TAX COLLECTOR Mr Galleazi tho Third precinct heeler I thinks he has waited long enough for the office to seek him and now ho is after the office He is a Tuscarora and say he will have old Joe Silvers scalp dangling at his girdle in a few days CITY SEXTON Some of the Liberals in the Fourth precinct pre-cinct are displeased with Daniel Dunne because be-cause he didnt set a lot of hobos to work in the cemetery before election day They say that ho must therefore go down and I will try to get the position for George Harrison SUPERINTENDENT or SEWERS Some of the braves were a bit discouraged dis-couraged when the HERALD announced a few days ago that MeToo Lippman was after Van Houtens brogans but that was I only a joke MeToo is af tor the auditor i ship and Frank Hines will probably succeed suc-ceed Van Houtcn COLLECTOR or WATER RATES I Chris Diehl will endeavor to retain this office but C M Jackson and Arthur Parsons Par-sons want It Isons ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY I So far no aspirants for tho position of assistant city attorney have appeared and it is likely that D C Eichnor who has so faithfully
