The Election.

- marrow takes place the most important
election that has been held in this city since
mo government was formed. Men are to be
c,cctrd to remodel the Constitution OF the
state 70 accommodate it to the great social
change which has resulted from the late war.
ordinarily, the business OF framing or modi-
ryins the organic law is the highest and most
responsible duty OF the representative. But
now that duty becomes more delicate and
solemn than ut any preceding time.
The mcu to be elected to perform this duty
should oc the most capable and most trust.
worthy We have \ ticket named by num-
Der OF citizens which is composed OF men al
together fitted for this duty--intclliGcnt, eX-
rericuccd, tried, and trustworthy. II we elect
this ticket we shall reflect IN" good sense and
devotion 10 the public welfare Of this COM
muniiv If we fail, and the Hunnicutt Hall
ticket is elected. we shall suffer materially and
morally in 4 most serious manner. 1t will be
no consolation for this disaster that it grows
ont OF the reconstruction measures imposed on
MS by Congress. That excuse will not mend
orr situation much. The proper measures
and the proper eNcrtions can save the city
from injury and disgrace, and every Conserra-
ave citizen. white or black, should give him
self up 20 the cause for the brief time that is
left 10
We appeal 10 all without respect TO party
When we consider the community, we see
that its interests are one, and that all men
may meet on common platform for the pre-
serya,ion OF The public honor and welfare
Then there should be no division on persona
or party grounds. We are about electing mer

times. Ii is the interest Of all that it should
be left 10 proper men TO be done properly. i
there be elected those who are without either
moral standing or capacity, all must see th;''
Z serious shock will be given TO the pubic
confidence in Our future. The hopes ana
energies of the people Will be rudcly shaken
and the public interests placed i'll peril
To avoid this extremity, all men who appre-
ciatc il should exert every power of mind and
body / they do this we shall be cheered
tomorrow night by contemplating the danger
as one that is past, and retiring 1T the close OF
the day with high satisfaction At having
achieved the most important political triumph
which ever occurred in this city
