making the most desperate efforts 10 got
control of the City Council and the
Schools Of our city BY putting forward
two or three soldiers at the head
of their ticket, while large majority Of
their candidates for the Council are old
and notorious opponents of the Union
party, and have always been active
members of the party which has hitherto
arrayed itself against the Schools. For.
tunately for the cause of education, and
the future prosperity of our city, the
candidates selected 10 lead the So
called, but misnamed, Workingmen's
Ticket, are not regarded by the
Workingmen of Evansville as their rep
resentatives either in integrity or occua
patton. The Workingmen Of this city
are HONEST, INDUSTRIOUS, So
Der and VIRTUOUS citizens. They
work hard, live frugally, gradually accu.
muIate little stock ahead, and finally go
into business for thsmselves, and in
many instances have acquired wealth
and influence. The workingman who
has no ambition to improve his condition,
la no credit to his co-w6rkers. The
wcrkingman who spends all bis evenings
in the grog shop, to the neglect Of his
family and the ruin of himself, is also
NO representative Of majority Of the
mechanics and laboring men of the city.
Sergeant Noyes White ia put forward
as the workingmen's candidate for City
Clerk. Mr.. White has several times ad-
mitted that he is not qualified to dis
charge the duties Of the Office. He OK
poets 10 get some one to do allthe soork
for a part of the salary, that he may
pocket the remainder. No good me
chanic ever undertakes a job that he
knows be cannot complete with credit to
himself and his trade, The Sergeant's
old habit Of !" bosaing seems to stick
to him, even in bis desire for Office, and
he now proposes to take hold of the
Clerks Office, II possible, and sub-let it
10 some poor fellow who possesses the
qualifications for the position, and 10
hard run" toobtain employment. Such
q transaction may seem very creditable
in the estimation of the Copperheads
who make q catspaw of the Sergeant
especially when 1t is generally under.
stood that his deputy 10 to be- gentle
man of well-known Democratic antecs
dents-5ut workingmen will not 90 re-
gard it.
Bot ID ia not alone on the ground of
incompatency that the workingmen of
the city win refuse to vote for Ser
geant White. Many Of them believe
that his past record and bis present hab-
its are not Of n character to justify the
taking Of large amount OF stock in
him, vitiated as he is by association with
Copperheads. We may add, the "musty
records of the past have been consult
cd, and they reveal a shocking picture
of the baseneas of the Great Head Of
the bogus Workingmen's Ticket.
We call attention 10 the following par
agraph, copied from the Official Pro-
csedings of the Right Worthy Grand
Lodge Of Indiana, /. O. 0. f., at its
Gemi-Annual Communication, held at
Indianapolis. January, 1855 Under
the head OF Expnlsions and Suspen-
sious, and cause thereof" on page 593 of
the book, the following may be read:
/" NeWburgh Lodge, No. 104 MOVES
WHITE expelled for EMBEZZLING
THE FUNDS OF THE LODGE"
Now, in little operations like the above,
we are confident that Sergeant White
does not represent the Workingmen OF
this city. Hence. we affirm that the
Copperheads, in batting their hook with
him, will catch few Union Workingmen.
The dodge 10 too transparent. The cheat
6 too apparent.
Sergeant Whites military record is
not so dazzling that il can blind the eyes
of Workingmen and everybody else to his
utter incapaeity for the position be
seeks, and his past record for integrity
and morality.
