We are happy to be able to present
to our readers this morning one
sofithe best tickets that has ever been
formed by any party or set of men in
this city, for the consideration and sup
port of the tax payers and citizens of
Evansville. As viii be seen, men from
both political parties have been placed
upon the ticket, and the honors have
been equally and justly divided between
them. The representatives of the vari.
ous mechanical associations and work
ingmen generally assure US the selection
has been made with great care, and with
Q desire to satisfy the demands Of the
taxpayers and business men of our
rising city. No old fogies have been
placed upon the Workingmenis Reform
Ticket-they are all men fully alive to
the interests of the city, and are pre-
scented as the champions of reform
long needed, and which they have re-
solved to accomplish. % 49,
In fact, the success Of the Working
mems Municipal Reform Ticketwill be a
direct benefit to every citizen. Of Evans
vile, and we believe the good people Of
the city are able to appreciate the i'm
portance Of supporting 1t. - -
As we said in the outstart, we are for
a no-party ticket, and the election OF
men TO Office over this corporation who
will owe nothing to party, and are at
liberty to do the best for the city without
having 10 submit to party dietation. II
ever a city cried aloud for relief from
party control, it is Evansville. Here
reader and voter, is the offer presented
you to get rid of the interminable wars
over city spoils. Many cities have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity offered
them by the workingmen to rid them Of
party spoliation, and have found it a
paying business. Louisville was redeem
ed by this means in 1861, and has been
prosperous beyond all precedent Il in
stilled new life and vigor into every de-
partment Of art and trade. Why can
not Evansville do the same2 = =
The Workingmen's ticket Is made up
Of the best material in Evansville. The
gentlemen nominated for the council in
the several wards are Give" men--stir-
ring, progressive and vigorous. The
other officers are provided for by the
best citizens, for the several positions.
1t is to be hoped, as the Democracy
have 80 gracefully and generously re.
solved to run no ticket against the Work
ingmen, that the Union League will take
the welfare Of the city to heart for once,
and offer no opposition to this frat eff
fort of the Sons Of Toll to give an ex-
preston of their power.
The success of the ticket will add
thousands of dollars to the Southern
trade Of Evansville, for it will be an as
surance to the people abroad, that the
reputation which few fanatics have
made for Evansville, is an unjust one,
and that the city has been redeemed
from partisan control and party prosti-
tuition. 1t will do more-it will instill
new life into the manufacturing inter-
ests of the city, and draw hither valu-
able artizsn population, who will engage
in their small manufactures with more
spirit when they are made to believe
they will receive encouragement and
protection. W @A-FAs3 s-s

well, and are satisfied that the tax pay.

first Monday in April. r. ~ q a
Election day--the fret Monday in
April-being generally observed as a
holiday throughout the country, the
workingmen can well afford to cease
work that day to secure the success Of
their ticket. Don't scratch it--vote il
