serving in the tented field. Whilst
it NAV be said that either would

that every voter should express his

F5- Commissioner. We have tri-
angular contest-three good. honest,
respected citizens-each having his
friends. and each worthy Of honor.
Make your choice.
For the minor Offices, there appears
to be little or no struggle.
In selecting, it should be remem-
tered. the end to be aimed at Is the
CoUxTEY's good, and not the CANpI-
pAIEs. Offices were made for the
Peoples welfare. and not the people
fo7 tie candidates benefit. Our own
Interests, and not the interests OF
those asking our votes, should be the
governing motive.
When our Ticket is made, the
hitherto silent Democracy will be-

AmalgamatiCu-to defeat the true
Union Ticket. Oar call is wide and
liberal enough for all true patriots in
these times when we should have but
one party. Let the attendance be
large enough 10 indicate that the
Candidates areas they we're last

We are glad to learn that our can
didates have conducted the campaign
with much good humor and friendly
feeling. and in an honorable manner
10 all concerned, so that defeat will
be no discredit 10 either.
If the Return Judges be punc;ual

and we can have time TO print and
Send out the result the same day.
