We present to our readers today the names
Of the candidates for city officers, which were
put in nomination on Tuesday evening. The
nominations we're made 10 part by reclamation,
with few scattering votes on the Others and on
all Of them there was an entire unanimity OF
feeling In this respect nothing better could
have been desired.
DR.. Bartholomew, who has served as Mayor
for be past year, was unanimously re-nomina-
ted. This action showed just appreciation OF
the diligence, patience and ability displayed by
Ale DOe,0- - his official caDacity during the
past year. He is probably better informed on
the real condition Of our city affairs than any
other citizen, and this is one reason Why oil
who desire them properly adjusted should sup
port him for another term.
For CITY Clerk. Albert Z. COwles was put in
nomination. We need say nothing respecting
Mr. CowIes, a. he has grown up in this city,
and is very generally known. He has good
education and character without reproach'
and will make in every way an acceptable
Clerk
nominated. He has been a resident Of the first
ward for about year, where he has gained the
confidence and respect OF all who have become
acquainted with him. We have no personal
acquaintance with him, but we are assured that
he has good business talents and experience.
and will be reliable and prompt as Treasurer.
Having, by severe misfortune, been thrown
out Of the possibility Of following many
branches of business there should be u greater
readiness ga ia, port IF the community to hslP
him in a department where be is able aud will
ling TO act efficiently.
Mr.. ID. ". Burtch is the candidate for Re-
corder This Office has formerly been filled with
credit by Mr.. Burtch, and every one knows
that he has all the qualifications necessary for
the situation.
We have no doubt that this whole ticket can
be elected next Monday. if all the Republican
voters Of the city are looked up, registered
attend the polls and vote for it. This is stated
in single line, but there is much implied in it,
First--Is there a full list made out in each
ward Of every unconditional Union man it 1t
not. one OF two voters may be lost in each ward
because individuals who are with US at heart are
not known or spoken to on the subject.
Second-There are four classes of persons who
need to be registered; Those who have just
come Of age foreigners who have just become
voters, citizens who have come from abroad.
and citizens who have removed from one ward
10 another A failure to register. in most cases
will be a failure to vote.
Third-It is no practical use to register unless
the voter attends the polls on election day.
The indolent, the careless, the Indifferent, the
infrm. the busy, must be looked up, and con-
veyance provided for those who need. A man
might as we'll not be q voter as to neglect to do
his duty as one.
Lastly-Every Republican should not only
DO registered and present at the polls but
should vote the whole ticket There is no ex>
euse in this case for erasng the name Of auy
candidate. where all are competent faithful,
and Of good character. Still less is there any
excuse for inserting the name of any Copper
head. That is something no consistent friend
of his country can do. You have no right to
vote for Copperhead because be has poor
health, or because he is good neighbor. or is a
pleasant man. He counts on that ticket against
the best interests Of his country, and if your
vote should elect him, the result viii be pub
lished next week in the Lansing Journal, and
all over the State, in every Copperhead sheet, in
great flaming characters, Lincoln repudiated
The Capital Of Michigan against the War
Vallandigham yindicatedl" If you do not wish
to see these results, show no such weakness, but
vote the whole Republican ticket
