We have thus briefly examined the principal
measures of the present Administration. Our space
prevents further discussion. That they have COM
mitted errors during the twelve years they have
had the control, may well be admitted We never
knew but one who could look back and find nothing
to regret But the question before the people is,
whether, in the main, the administration of the
Municipal affairs has not been conducted with
prudence and economy. Up to 1874, we have the
authority of Mr.. Caldwell himself. They have had
power four years since that period.
If the people desire repetition of the disastrous
scenes of 1917 and 1s4s, they have only to place
the same persons in power. Let it be remembered
that no Sheriff ever levied an execution while the
present party has been in power no contract has
ever been shameessly violated the public creditor
has been paid the assets of the Municipality have
never been sacrificed, and debtors permitted to buy
IN their oa0n paper for one-stTth Of Its valste !,
Large sums have been expended on the wharves,
levees, Streets engine-houses, schools, and public
buildings they have maintained the credit of the
Municipality, and never permitted its name to be
dishonored. Contrast their acts for twelve years
with those Of the other party during the brief reign
of two years make due allowance for the infrmi-
ties and weaknesses Of human nature, and then say
whether they are worthy Of the confidence you
have so long bestowed on them.
