A CORRESPONDENT suggests the
name Of Col. W. r. Hunt for Mayor.
Capt. LENOw is understood to have
declined. Probably no better selec-
ton could be made in the city than
either Of these gentlemen, if the OBJ
ject to be attained is a faithful guar
dianship Of the interests of the city,
with impartial justice to ali. We
have no doubt they viii both decline,
for such is the order of the day. But
there is also a later order No. 2, which
it is also legitimate to enforce-and
that Is TO seek out the best men, and
then compel them to serve nolens
UoL7ls. That is the way we did in the
County Convention, and no harm has
come oft yet. There are duties which
citizens owe the public, and which
they should not always be allowed to
shake Of.

congratulations to her, asked TO be
shown the baby. The nurse, who had
frequently served at similar occasions

thoroughly taken aback by the view,
