onr present able Chief Magistrate,
VINCENT G. GLPIN, has again been placed
IN nomination for Mayor, by large major
ity over very worthy and estmable COM
petitor. This is an evidence of the great
satisfaction that his administration of the
executive branch of our municipal govern
ment has given to his felow-citizens. Mr.
Gilpin Was the incumbent of the Mayorll-
ty when the war commenced, and at time
when much fear was entertained for the
peace Of the city, but by his untiring exer-
tiuns and wise and cautious measures, he
succeeded in maintaining good order in our
midst. Under his administration, there
has been no tumult or disorder, person and
property have always been secure, and a
due respect for the laws enforced lie has
been strictly impartial in melting out justice,
patiently and discreetly adjudicatng all
eases brought to his notice, and without
ienr, favor or affection, visiting condign
punishment on the guilty, and throwing
protecting shield around the innocent -
His course has commended him to the
masses, as man peculiarly fitted for the
station which he fills, He has always been
truly loyal, and through his agency and
labors much has been accomplished towards
sending troops to the field, to share in the
great and glorious work Of suppressing
this iniquitous and causeless rebellion, and
administering to the wants Of the sick and
wounded, stricken down while in the per-
fornance Of their patriotic duties Mr.
Gilpin deserves well at the hands of his
fellow-citizens, and he will receive that
cordial support from the voters Of Viii
mington, that should at all times be given
by AN intelligent constituency to faithful
public servant.
JoHN IL. ADAMS, the candidate for
Alderman, has been the incumbent in that
office during the past year, and has given
entire satisfaction; being ever faithful in
the discharge Of the duties which deyolyed
upon him,
joHN F. MILLER is the candidate for
City Treasurer. Mr. Miller has held the
Office since January last. BY his obliging
manners, accommodating disposition TO-
wards those having business with him, and
his promptitude and correctness in attend
iag to the financial affairs of the city, he
has rendered himself exceedingly popular
as an officer No better selection could
have been made, and he will doubtless be
reelected by an increased majority
EDWARD i. BRowN, the candidate fol
Assessor, is gentleman every way fitted
for the station for which he has been nom.

for some years engaged in building opera

relation to the value of real estate, and will
make fair just and equitable assessment.
Altogether, it may be said, the ticket i.
