The Union City Ticket.

| Union city ticket, and spoken partlcus-
larly of some of the candidates.
We take it for granted that our
present efficient and popular City
| Clerk will be reelected with very
little opposition. He had no oppe-
sition whatever in the nominating
Convention, and will, as he deserves,
receive the vote of the party. Many
Democrats, who so well know his
eminent fitness for the position, will
consult the city's interestsand support
him. "
We alluded yesterday to Captain
LEAvITT, the candidate for Treas
urer. He has discharged the duties
of his Office the past year with entire
satisfaction, has a clear record as a
faithful soldier, and viii. we believe,
unite the whole strength of the
party, 8gkW zTIAAG6 gTIHW
[ SPHILIP KLEIN, the nominee for
Marshal, in his. capacity as Chief of
Police, has thoroughly fitted himself
for this office; and as Marshal TEN
vooRDE did not desire recollection,
he is his natural successor. Mr.
KLEIN promptly volunteered in the
early part of the war with the gallant
Twenty Fifth Indiana, and when the
Regimental Band was organized, he
was made member of it. But in all
the marches, battles, and camp ex
posures he shared with the rank and
! file. The writer knows from personal
observation that PHILIP KLEIN. never
shirked duty, and was one of the most
faithful of the old Twenty Fifth. In
the bloody contests Of Fort ponelson
and Shiloh he was where the work of
death was thickest, and did MS duty
manfully He is an old citizen, a
hardsworking mechanic, and strictly
honest. Every soldier and good citi-
! zen should vote for him, as against
I any stay home, !" broken down,
and discarded politician.
sha'WM: g. HAzELRtaG, who RECEIVED,
the unanimous nomination for Col
1ector. has BEEN resident Of this
city for five years. Every one who,
in 1862, visited our army hospitals
will remember, him. He vas at the
time the war broke out residing in
fTenuessee, thougha Northern man;
was compelled, by. his attachment. to
the cause of his country, to leave, and
/ at once joined the 10Th United States
Regulars. In the bloody battle of
Shiloh he was, as was supposed. NOR
tally wounded; was brought to Evans
vile, and lay for many weary months of
intense pain between life and death,
By careful nursing, medical skill, and
his own indomitable will, he at last
recovered: but be is for life disa-
ble6 man. In the hospital and since
he has won the confidence and esteem
of all who know him. He married
one of our estimable young. ladies',
and, engaging in business, has made
this his home. He was the unani-
nous choice. of the soldiers, with
whom he is universally popular, in
whose name he was presented to the
Union Convention. He is regular.
gly educated book keeper, a first rate
accountant. and in every way quail
fed for the Office No man, who has
any regard fora brave and disabled
soldier. can have the effrontery
to oppose him; and, should any be
so unpat trio tic, his defeat will be.over-
whelming
There are others on the ticket who
deserve, and will receive, notice, but
this will suffice for to- day. We say
to all Union men, exert yourselves to
secure the election of all these men,
good and true. Let it not be said
that, IN the hour Of victory, we were
surprised and routed by gang of ir-
responsible guerrilas. The whole
ticket should receive the undivided
and unreserved support of every
man who regards the interests of the
city .or the defeas of ,copperheadism,
