Our Rlection AhPoad.


So absorbed have been our citizens
in the contest for the municipal Off
GERS for the ensuing. year that they
have, to a considerable extent, over
looked the fact that the contest O. is
also attracting attention in other por-
tons Of the country. The Cincinnati
papers have already contained notices
of the animated character of the con-
troversy. The Henderson paper has
announced the fact that their people,
too, have an interest in the result Of
our election, and all over our own
State politicians are anxiously await
ing the result of the canvass. As the
home of Governor CONRAD BAKER,
with his brother as candidate for
Mayor, the issue is regarded in some
degree, as test, not only of the popu-
larity of Mayor BAKER, but of Gov
ernor BAKER, as well. Republicans
ought to bear this fact in mind, and it
ought to stimulate them to put forth
yet greater exertions to win the vic
tory.
Evansville is the first city in Indi-
ana to lead off in the great Presiden-
tial campaign of 1863 While the
importance of local issues overshad-
ow all other topics. yet Republicans
ought not altogether to forget that
their votes. will have a moral effect
upon the State aud Presidential can
vass now coming on. The defeat Of
Mayor BAKER by few votes, because
some Republicans entertain for him a
personal dislike, and because others
think he ought to have done some
thing different from what be did, may
have a harmful effect upon the Fall
elections, that all the efforts of these
same Republicans may be unable to re-
move. There is not an intelligent man
In the city Of Evansville but what
believes Mayor BAKER is able to
manage the municipal affairs as we'll
as, or even better, than Mr.. WALKER.
Those, therefore, who vote against
him, do so on personal or political
grounds. Those who agree with him
politically, but oppose him from per-
sonal considerations, strike blow at
their party which viii cripple it dur
ing the entire canvass. On the other
hand, should the Republicans succeed
in electing their ticket, they will vir-
tually have decided the contest in the
Fal.

Our Soldier Candida ties


In the discussion of the absorbing
question of the Mayoralty, the Repdb-
licans should not lose sightof the
number of worthy men on our City
Ticket, for whose success it is their
duty to work faithfully. & The-soldier
elementon the Ticket is very prom-
nent, and appeals strongly to the sup
port of every loyal man.. Cox NEH-
LER, the nominee for City Recorder,
an educated German gentleman, with
four years experience as q Magistrate,
is one Of the most gallant soldiers of
the late war; He rose from low
rank, by his abilities, to the position
of Colonel, and bears about on his
person honorable wounds. received in
defense Of his country. He is deserv-
ing of the hearty support Of. every
Republican, and we doubt not-will re-
ceive it. e
Another worthy, soldier on the
Ticket is our present popular Col
lector, who has recently made a COM
plete and satisfactory settleme Mt of
his extensive years work to the en-
tire satisfaction of-the Council and
Mayor, and has thus merited re-
election. He was brought to our City
Hospitals from the bloody field of
Shiloh in April, 1862, with a terrible
wound, from which he fingered be-
tween life and+death for many months,
Since that time he has been a resident
of this city, and has, by honest
demeanor and business capacity, at
tached himselfstrougly to our people.
His opponent will hardly make de-
cent race. against him. =
Captain DARLING, ~our nominee for
Marshal, is well known to,our people
as an efficient officer of. the ola 18th
Indiana, and has earned the support
of all true Union men by-gallaht ser
vice in some of the-most hotl$-eon-
tested battle fields Of the war. He
has proven himself enc Of thesmost
determined and efficient police officers
which Evansville has overhead. With
his known capacity and his gallant
war record, his Copperhead opponent
ought to stanl no chance of election
whatever, ~
SAUNDERS B. SAMSON, the candi-
date for Treasurer, was member of
che F" glorious old FouRTEENTH, and
has lost leg IN fighting the battles
of his country. Heis an able account
ant and experienced double-entry
book keeper, apd an honest and de-
serving young man. His opponent is
an able-bodied man and prominent
banker, Of whose services in the
late war we have no account. Be-
tween two such-candidates how can
our people-hesitate =? -

Despairing ofsuccess on the gen
eral ticket, the Democracy are now
making their arrangements to con
centrate their efforts on one or two
candidates. Accordingly, they have
instructed their men, Cor at least their
men are so acting,) to approach Re
publicans and propose to swap votes,
the Republicans to vote for some
Democrat named and the Democrats
in turn voting for some Republican
on the ticket whose election is already
assured. We warn Republicans to
beware Of this trap. AS the game
now stands the Republicans can elect
their entire ticket if they will only
stand firm. We urge them to discard
all propositions for exchanging votes.
In great majority of instances the
men proposing to swap. votes cannot
be trusted TO carry out their part Of
the engagement in good faith.

Who is ResDOnslbIe-WhO is Injured.


In December last, the School Board
! having procured the necessary plans
and specifications, advertised the let
/ ting Of a building for a High School
on Seventh Street, and having obtain
ed the best estimates they could,
among which was an informal state
ment from Mr.. j., S. Clarke, then act
1 ing as Superintendent of the Ninth
/ Street Building, were led to believe
! that they could contract at a little
over $40 900. and reserved the right
to reject all the bids, with a view to
protect themselves against extortion,
IN case of lack of competition.
When the bids were opened, it was
| determined at once that the lowest
bid was above what ought to be paid
and the bids were returned to the bid
ders, and the Board concluded not to
let the contract until further inquiry
was made as to the cost and as to the
possibility of getting a better con-
tract. But as it was too late to ad-
| vertise again and let a contract to be
completed in time TO meet the press
ing demands for a house for next
year, the Board determined to act
promptly about the matter, and If, by
possibility, they could conclude a
contract with any responsible con.
tractor, for such a sum as cores
pOnded with their views Of the value,
they would let the contract at once.
For the purpose Of determining the
matter, the members of the Board
spent two or three days investigating
the question, and were convinced that
the contract could not be let at that
time for less than $40 000 They then
determined TO give the lowest bidders,
Mr.. +. ID. Allen and Liant Brothers,
an opportunity Of competing for the
contract privately, aud did so, and to
this end asked those gentlemen to re-
hew their proposals. Mr.. Allen gave
as his ultimatum SAG, 000l Messrs. :.
Liant offered to do il for $500 less, and
every effort having failed to get either
of the builders to. GO lower, the con-
tract was let, and at the lowest bid

Board, and Mayor Baker had nothing

than the lowest offer they could get
public or private. They let the con-
tract just as they would have done If
it had been their own; sought to do
the very best they could for the city,
without partiality or favor.

they save money. IF Mr. Allen is in

The destinations of the Courier

any responsibility of any one except
the School Board, or any motive on
their part other than the best inter-
ests of the city, irrespective Of the IN

believe that owing to the loose and
dishonest system of the City off cials
it is impossible to know how much
they have cost. He tie lis his audiences
that the Ledger shows the cost to be

much greater, aud with much pom

amount Of orders issued for the
public City improvements, such as
streets, wharf and sewers, aud the
Minute Book shows the amount Of

that shortly after his defeat last
