nnr City PIafrnrm


The only resolutions passed at the
RepublicanCity Convention were those
presented by JOHN INGLE, Jr., and they
embody the real issues in the pend
ing contest. In the approaching cleo
ton the business men, tax payers and
working classes are more interested
in the questions affecting our material
prosperity than in the triumph of
political principles, and it was for
that reason these resolutions only
were adopted. All who know any
thing about the management of our
municipal affairs for the past nine
years, and who appreciate our present
critical position as city, viii respond
heartily to the following resolutions
presented by Mr.. INGLE, and unani-
mously adopted by the Convention on
Tuesday night:
ResolUsd, That Mayor Baker, by
his honest. faithful and able admin
istratiOn of our city finances for the
past nine years, has laid Evansville
under lasting obligations.
ResolUed, That the present is no
time to make haste to get rid o.
Mayor who has been well tried, and
has proven himself to be both honest
and capable.
ResolUed, That when larger and
richer cities threaten to cut off our
commerce by building railroads all
around Evansville, we must strengthen
our credit at home and abroad to en-
able Us to multiply railroads 10 and
from this city. With this end in
view, we cannot safely exchange May
or Baker for any untried man whom

The sc .ection Of CHARLES cCHAUM
by the Sixth Ward meeting was highly
iudicious. He is one Of the most pop
ular men in the city, and, with faithful
and earnest work, he will have the
honor of representing the Sixth Ward
in the next Council, a privilege not
often allotted to Republican.
In the Seventh Ward, WILLIAM
KoLLE was nominated by acclama-
tisn. The gallant race which he
made last April, fairly earned for
him the honor of clear field, and he
will demonstrate to the Democracy
when the votes are counted out on
the 9th of next month, that he is
supported by a clear, and decided ma
jority of the legal voters of his Ward.
There will be no question about the
result this time.
JOHN III. RGLKER, who received
the nomination in the Eighth Ward,
is one of our largest manufacturers
and one of our most enterprising CT
liens. He has served two or three
terms as a mem Der of the Council,
and the citizens of the Ward will
greatly consult their interests by Sc
curing his election.
ROBERT S. RUsToN, the candidate
in the Ninth Ward, is one of our
oldest merchants and most highly es-
teemed citizens. His acquaintance
with the mercantile wants of the city
and Its general interests will make
him valuable member of the Coun-
ell, and the Republicans of the Ward
ought to make every possible effort to
elect him.

Mayor Baker ShFinks from an In
VestigatiOn


Is the heading to a half column of
insinuations and slurs in the Courier
of yesterday. The basis for these
insinuations is the fact that the City
Council did not see proper to consult
the managing commit ees of the op-
posing parties in the present canvass,
in the appointment Of a committee to
examine into the past management
and present condition of city affairs
to ascertain whether any of the city
officials, directly or indirectly, had
been interested in any of the contracts
for public Improvements; and such
other matters as might be interesting
for the people to know. The Mayor
asked that such a committee be APP
pointed Under the impression that
the democracy, intelligence, shrewd-
ness, and fidelity to party, ofsuch men
as RICHARD RALEIGH, THOMAS E.
GARvIN, and A. T. WHITTLEsEY,
would not be called in question, the
Council appointed them the said
committee in connection with two
Republicans.
1t seems, however, from the state
ments in the Courier, that the De-
mocracy of these men is not, like the
virtue of CEsAR's wife, above sus-
picion. Mr.. RALEIGH has long been
a personal friend of Mr.. BAKER, and

has voted for him every time he has
been a candidate; Mr. GARvIN is a
half brother-in law Of the Mayors
brother, and Mr.. WHITTLEsEY is also
a strong personal friend of the Mayor,
besides which his duties as P. NJ. pre-
vent him from devoting that attention
to the investigation its merits deserve.
In other words, the Courier tries to
persuade its readers that the personal
friendship entertained by these gen
tlemen for Mayor BAKER, would pre-
vent them from making an honest and
thorough investigation of the manner
in which he has discharged the public
trusts committed to his care during
the last nine years. We regret that
these gentleman have so lost favor
with such veteran Democrats as now
have charge Of the Courier. Possibly.
had Mr.. WILTSHIRE been aware of
this fact, he would have recon
mended as a committee 10 their
place those other sterling Dem
ocrats and heavy tax payers, Messrs.
WILLARD, SPROULE and STACKHoUsE
We deem it unfortunate that he was
not better posted, and did not choose
the latter, instead of the former, gen
tlemen.
We understand that it was the de-
sire of the Council to have an inUesti-
cation of the city affairs by a compe-
tent Committee of fair-minded gentle
men, majority of whom were Demo-
Gratis. The plan submitted by Mr.. RAJ
EIGH could not accomplish the end
designed. because the men selected by
the respective partisan committees
would be chosen for their ability-the
one to detect mole hills and magnify
them into mountains, and the other to
suppress everything that he thought
would, in the least, discourage his
party. So far from there being an in
vestigation, under such circumstances,
the result would be only disgraceful
wrangle, amounting to nothing.
But, without multiplying words, zoe
IRE authorized to sag that Mayor BA-
KER does not shrink from an inves-
tigation.' He actually courts it. We,
therefore. challenge an investigation
Of his nine years administration.

The Republican Candidates for COun-
cIlmen.

In the First Ward, WILLIAM Hun
NELL was nominated on Wednesday
night, by the largest Ward meeting
ever held in Evansville. Mr. Hun
NELL has had more experience as a
member of the Council than probably
any other citizen of Evansville He
is an honest man, an enterprising
and public spirited manufacturer,
who manages his own business sue
cessfully, and will look well to the in
terests of the Ward, when elected,
as he most assuredly will be if Repub-
licans do their duty.
The candidate in the Second Ward
is JAMES STEELE, an old citizen, who
has served upon the Council several
terms in past years. He is one Of the
largest contractors and builders in
the city, and some of our largest
blocks and most attractive buildings
are the monuments of his skill aud
labor. He is a man Of unimpeach-
able integrity, aud highly esteemed
by all. He has lar4e property inter-
ests in the Ward, has no private axe
to grind" and will devote himself
entirely to the interests of hi, cou-
stituents and the general prosperity
of the city.
JAMES DAVIDSON, the nominee in
the Third Ward, is a we'll known mer
chant, a member of the old firm of
SAMUEL Orr & Co. Mr. DAVID
son is thoroughly informed in regard
to our municipal affairs, having
served two terms as City Treasurer,
and as a representative OF the mer-
camille element will make very use
full member of the Council. With
his acknowledged business capacity,
his public spirit and popularity, there
ought to be no question about his
triumphant election.
In the Fourth Ward the present
efficient Councilman, Hon. FRED. w.
Cook, was reuominated. Mr.. Cook
has represented Vanderburgh County
In the State Legislature, and served
two or three terms in the Council,
and is one of the mea whose services
cannot be well dispensed with. He
is always found on the right side on
all questions affecting the prosperity
of the city.
WILLIAM HEILMAN, the candidate
from the Fifth Ward, is too well
known to our readers by his enter
prise and large-hearted liberality, to
need any endorsement or introduction
from US. He would, gladly, have re-
tired from the Board but, as stated
by Mr.. ORR, at the Ward meeting
last night, we must retain in the
Council some of the old members, .es-
pecially when they are so sound on all
public improvements as Mr.. HE'LL
MAN. While he is one of the hcavi-
est taxpayers in the city, he is ever
ready to push forward all needed en-
terpriseS, aud cheerfully bears his
FL share Of the burdens

The Twelve Years or County Taxa
tiOn-Mr. Walkers Contrast.

In the y OURNAL OF ueSudy last
we noticed the editorial article which
the Courier said was from Mr.. WAL
KER. in which he attempted to ex-
plain the great difference between the
tax levies of the last six years Of his
term and the subsequent six years of
Republican management of County
affairs. We accepted his statement
of the appraisements as correct, and
took the two years which he cited,
1858 and 1867, as contrasting the tax
alton of the two parties. From his
own figures we established the ineon-
trovertible fact, that under Demo-
cratic County management the rate of
taxation per voter was $22 80 in gold,
and that under Republican manage
ment it was only SO 25 in currency.
We have called upon Mr.. WALKER to
explain this, and he has made no re-
ply. We have challenged his party
organ to deny it, but it cannot do it,
1t is a complete answer to Mr.. WAL
KER's evasive statements.
Mr.. Walker, in his editorial article,
says
But let US go a step further, and in
quire how was the money collected
under these administrations expend-
ed for this, indeed, is a most impOr-
tant matter to the taxpayers.
What are the facts? During the six
years of Democratic administration
alluded to by the JOURNAL, Court
House was regretted in this city, and
the following costly and highly useful
bridges built; the bridge over Pigeon
creek at Franklin street.-the bridge
at Cody's mill-the bridge at Links
wiler ferry. besides other important
works in different portions Of the
county. The money was expended for
the use and benefit of the people.
How has it been under the last six
years of Republican rule?
We cheerfully accept the challenge,
and enter upon the comparison: We
take the period designated by Mr..
WALKER-the Democratic years from
1856 to 1861 inclusive, and the Re
publican years from 1862 to 1867 IN
elusive. He makes a specific mention
of the public buildings, bridges, and
roads as expenditures Of great value
to the people, and that these occa-
stoned the heavy taxes of his six years
of County management OF these
items we find the expenditures as
shown by the County records, were as
follows:
1856 to 1861. 1862 TO 1867.
Expense of bridges. ..S65.254 A Sls,939 90
Expense of public
buildings. 4,499 IS 2n,52] 4S
Expense of roads. 40 IS u,2i4 81
Total..................... s7OIS7 5 $50 rs 81
At the first glance at these figures,
it would seem that Mr.. WALKER had
fair case. But how quickly is that
dispelied by statement of the facts
OF his seventy thousand dollars of
expenditures, sixty-fve thousand
were for bridges" And just here
is one of the best evidences of his
utter unftness for the Office of
Mayor, with the charge of our public
improvements. These expenditures
were, as he states, for bridges over
Pigeon Greek, at Linxwiler's, Cody's, /
and at Franklin Avenue. The first
two named, soon after having been
completed, tunabled into the creek, and
had to be rebuilt The third is
conceded by every one cognizaut of
the facts, to be the worst managed
and most extravagant public improve
ment ever made in Southern Indiana.
