OTTAWA, APRIL 10. 1876.
NiayoralsY.

BY the proceedings in another column, it
will be seen that the democratic meeting at
the court house on Tuesday evening, nomi-
mated JouN V. \. liors, Esq, as the demo-
cratic candidate for mayor at the approach
ing election. Although a number Of names
were suggested, the contest was really be-
tween Mr. Hoes and o. Loavcns, Esq., the
propcnderancc, on the second ballot, being
largely in favor Of the former.
The nomination is COOL one. Mr.. Hoes
has been citizen Of Ottawa since 1858; has
always been a good citizen, and according 10
his means, has done as much in forwarding
the leading public enterprises Of our city as
any man in the place. As a cool headed,
far seeing, close thinking business man, he
has no superior among all our men Of means
and enterprise.
To our present city managers, who within
awcck or two have projected wild schemes
sufficient to mortgage the city revenue for
two Or three years to come, and who in adj
dition have projected loan Of $50, GOO, the
election OF Mr.. Hoes, we have no doubtwou'd
be highly unpalatablc. Such prudent and
careful business man would be very apt TO
interfere with some of their wild projects.
On the score of politics, it is Of course un-
necessary for us to certify for Mr.. Hoes
He is n democrat Of the stratest sect, and
has no sympathy for, as he expects none
from llindooS or ismites Of any sort.
As opposing candidate, we shall probably
have some IIindoo lusionist under the name
of Independent candidate trusting for
votes outside of the fusion ranks to such as
can be caught by the prohibtary ordinance
and Carson League bait. We have already
demonstrated the utter faulty Of such an
issue, and hope at least no democrat VIII be
caught in the trap. The temperance cause,
by itself, cannot be too warmly conymcndcd;
but when used as an auxiliary to forward the
schemes OF reckless politicians it can result
only in injury. 1t is Ike carrying religion
into politics, and Ito use the language Of
another while our lIindoos are so much
alarmed about the sc,a. Popc's interfering
with politics, we must also oppose the little
Popcs having anything to do with politics.
We hope, and earnestly urge, that Mr., II.
will receive the entire democratic vote ofthe
city All the cities around us have been
rolling up their democratic victories and we
hope regular Chicago response will be sent
back from Ottawa.
