will forget or fail to attend the Ward
meetings to be held this evening. 1t is
a matterof much Importance that tn
nominations for Ward officers should be
carefully made, and no good citizen
should hold himself aloof from partici-
pating in the selection of candidates t.
fill the various Offices made necessary By
our city charter. Thecsndidates in each
Ward should be the very best available
men for the places they are designed to
fill; and Should unite personal integrity
with complete competency to perform
Alright the duties of the several Offices
for which they are nominated, 1t is i'm
portant that good and competent men be
put forward to receive the suffrages of the
people, and it is highly important that
this class of our citizens participate to-
night in the work of selecting candidates.
Let no consideration prevent your at
tendance at the primary meetings. Your
own personal and pecuniary interests are
directly involved in the nomination and
election of the right kind of men to ill
each of the Ward offices. We want a
city council this year composed, in both
branches, of men who will take enough
interest in city affairs to perform the du-
ties imposed upon them by their election
and who will attend faithfully all the
regular or special meetings of the coun-
Gil that may be called. We want men
who have some pecuniary interest in the
proper administration of city affairs
men of intelligence and moral worth
men who will give US such legislation as
the welfare of our citizens demands.
These objects must be secured in the
nominations made tonight, because 1t Is
the intention OF the conservative major
ity in this city to eject the men who re-
ceive nominations from the meetings to
be held in the various Wards this even
ing. We know we can carry ont that in
tention and our enemies know it as well
as we. Remember that the men nomi-
mated tonight, are to compose the city
council for the ensuing year. and see to
it that the nominations are conferred
upon the right sort of men. Attend the
meeting in your Ward by all means and
do not commit entirely into the hands
of few the selection of those who are to
legislate for the city this year.
1t is important also to select good
set of delegates to the city convention to
be held next Monday evening. The del
egations should be composed of men who
will act wisely and judiciously in the Sc
lection of candidates for the various inn
portant offices to be filled. But upon this
subject we will have another opportuni-
ty Of speaking For the present we only
urge all conservative men and good citi-
zsns to attend the ward meetings and
make such nominations for Ward officers
as will meet the wants Of the city
and be triumphantly ratified at the polls
We cannot impress too deeply upon our
city readers the great Importance OF
taking this first step Alright. Let no
other business or no desire for personal
comfort or ease keep you from the Ward
meetings-it is your duty to be there
The places and times of meeting in the
various Wards have been published sew
eral days, and may be found in our adj
vertisiug columns this morning.
