Council and was universally esteemed a yau-
able member. or moral character, undoubted
integrity, whose manners and great kindness Of
heart believe will prove acceptable TO every
Wing voter in the city, but his nomination ex-
cites no extraordinary enthusiasm touches no
local influence and takes no votes from the adyer-
sary. Mr.. Phenix was our candidate last year,
and polled our full and fair vote: he will do il
again, so far as the vote OF the city can be drawn
out. | think Moses II. GRINNELL would have
done more than this but Mr.. Phoenix is pre-
eminenty fitted by experience and disposition
for Mayor.

nominated, but do not expect il.

publication of filthy and demoralizing notices is
great source Of profit to our baser journals and
of evil to the silly dupes of imposition. hope
it will now be stopped, and that the Reform will
not end here
