LIZ III" eeeA5 ~ 10 bo. uo Naa extremely
to allow his nane to DO used by |
the Citizens Committee for the Office Of |
Mayor, and only consented from sense Of
public duty That Colonel Mason will bs
elected there is not q shadow Of doubt.
David A. Gnge, Esq, tho nominee for
City Treasurer, ia Democrat in politics,
and ia too well known to need any intro
auction 10 the public. Ho is an honorable
and public-apirited citizen, and gontle-
man in all the relations Of life. There Is
probably no man in Chicago who gives
more money for charitable objects, and
gives it less SYSTEMATICALLY, than
David A. Gage. Afr. Gago was ah-
sont from the city when he was
nominated, and he had no more expectation
OF being selected for place on the Citl-
Gems ticket than hc had Of being TRIMS
lntcd. His competitor for the Office Of City
Treasurer is Frank Wentworth, the bene-
iciary Of ono Of the most barefaced and
impudeut swiudles ever perpctrated in
free community. We refer TO the city do
posit swind!e, whereby The people wcro de-
frnu1ed Of more than one hundred thou
sand dollars during his term Of Office. It
is Il notorious fact TINT, while the knaves
haye been helping themselves to the city's
interest money, the city has been paying as
high as ten per cent interest for the use Of
its own money, md, latterly. We under
stand, has not been able to OBJ
tain temporary loans at the place
where its funds are deposited, even at that
rate of interest Now, If there is not vir-
the enough in the people to break up this
misty ring, they deserve to be bled I'd In
fnilum. To re-eleet the Nun Wentworth
give him and his partners free license TO
do the same thing again.
Tho nominee for City Collector is Mr..
W.. j. Onahan. member Of the firm Of
feid. ShcEwin L Co. He is Democrat IN
politics, mud very popular young man.
We do not know him personally !; but he is
represented by those in whom We have con-
hdence to be man Of ,lnimpeachnIle char
acter.
Afr. j. D. Stiles (City Attorney is m able
and energetic young lawyer, who will lis-
charge the duties Of the Office which he is
TO ill faithfully and acceIAaEly.
Mr.. c. 4. Matson [Cle1k Of the Police
Court is Norwegian by birth. a Repabli-
can IN politics, and resident OF the West
Division Of the city. Tic served during the
war As Captain in tho Norwegian regiment
TINT was recruited in Wisconsin He is
now employed in the city Post Office.
Coming to the county ticket, the first
mime presented is that OF Joseph E. Gary
for Judge Of tho Superior Court, Judge
Gary Is the present Chief Justice OF that
eoust, and IS IN oil respects one Of tho must
accomplished and upright jurlsts that ever
sat on tho bench To remove such man,
IN the midst Of his usefulness, would be
public calamity. Some attempts have been
.nalo to disparnge Judge Gary on the
Eronnd that his taecislons in respect to con-
tested assessments foE pnhlicitnpsoveuaenti
have been la1sh and oppressive. Tho fact Is
| that in these assessment cases he has merely
followed tho decisions Of the Supreme Court
in similar cases; and any otAer Judge would
1lnvc been compelled to do tho same. Judge
Gary understands that Supreme Court il
established to settle tho Law, and TINT, wher
it hns once settled the Inv, the interim
courts are bound md concluded by il III al
similar and parallel casos. Any other coutH,
would be factious opposition 10 law on
order.
