The Race for Mayor, 1869

Posted in Setting, tagged , , , , , , on September 26, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Lazarus is holding its first-ever mayoral elections in May 1869, six months after the November 1868 elections that installed the first-ever town council and town marshal.

As of March 1869, three men have thrown their hats into the ring:

  • Jack McCabe, owner of the McCabe Bank of Lazarus and partner in the McCabe-Langdon Land Company.
  • Charlie Meeker, owner of the Thunder Horse saloon, which boasts the cheapest whores in town.
