THE Soldiers Monument Committee has
contracted with L. W Volk, of Chicago, to
erect the monument His estimate is about
$3.50. The design is crowned with the
figure of soldier in uniform, with his gun at
"order arms" and is said to be handsome
and appropriate.
Messrs G. l. J. Murphy, of this city, sub
mitted beautiful design, drawn by their
artist, Mr.. H. H. Stuart, but they did not
secure the job. Messrs Murphy think they
did not have hardly fair chance as TO time
information about designs, &c. &C., and that
they would have taken the job to build the
same monument for less price.

The Union is still villifying and traduc-
ing the character of the men the people Of
this city have chosen for their representa-.
lives. 1t has the following, this morning:
why is it that the growth of the city is so
slow? Why is it that so little improvement is
going on The simple answer is, because the
legislation of the city is controlled by few sell
fish and INSCRIPTIONS men, for the benefit of
their own pockets"
For instance: Mayor B. F. Barrett and his
administration Mayor Josh Hatch and his
administration Mayor Ben. Harper and his
administration Mayor William Bailey and
his administration; Mayor P. Gregg and bis
administration; Mayor c. Truesdale and his
administration. Are these the ''selhsh and
INSCRIPTIONS men" who controlled the leg
lslation of the city for the benefit of THEN
own pockets ?" The Unions sweeping
charges of Corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS men,
hit its own friends.
