laboring man, who MAKES capital,
enjoys equal rights with the rich man
who USES it.
WORKING EN!-Bear in mind
that Mayor Baker and his partizans
on the Council Board, have made it
point to import laborers from other
cities instead of employing our own
skillful and hard working mechanics.
VOTERS OF EVANSVILLE = Re
member that Mayor Baker stood by |
and saw Lowry violate his contract |
with the city, and said not a. word
against It'll Remember that he made
property holders, his own FELLOW
CITIZENS, keep their part of the con.
tract to the letter, while he allowed
Lowry, A CITIZEN OF CINCINNATI, to
violate his part of the agreement.
REMEMBER, NOW is the time to
correct the NAL administration of
the last nine years
VOTE that you may be free from
costly and useless improvements.
That you may not be taxed more than
| once a year for the same property.
That your children may not be
ELECTED from the public schools
because they agree with the politics
of their parents!
LIGHT TAXES, HEAVY TRADE AND
FREE SCHoOLs.-A Radical triumph
in Evansville would be ruinous to
the interests of the city.
M namnorofio xrfotorv Won III pStah h.
lish on a sound financial basis every
interest or institution which contrib
utes to the prosperity of the place or
the happiness of the people It would
tighten the burden of taxation; 1T
would open the streams Of Southern
commerce; it would establish upon
an immovable foundation our unrival-
ed system Of Public Schools.
THE REJECTION OF HEILMAN MUST
BE EMPHATIC!--The election of Con-
tractor HeiIman, after the revelations
made before the Committee of Invest
igation, would reflect lasting discred-
it upon the citizens of the Fifth
Ward. But we indulge no such APP
prehensions. The honest voters OF
that Ward will bring to the honest
! Schriber that unquestioning support
which HIS integrity claims and5THEIR
. interest demands. Our COun eilmen
must be even above suspicion"
We merely stop to inquire if this is
the same honest Schriber " whose
bill for experimenting laborers in his
Ward was rejected time and again
by his own Democratic associates, and
pass on:
THE BAKER DYNASTY MUST BE
EXTINGUIsHED.-D not fail to re
member, citizens, that if the Baker
interest should be sustained at the
election this day, it will be fixed
upon YOU forever. And it is necessa.
ry that Mayor Baker aud his corrup
Clique shall not be merely defeated
: but that the verdict should be SO de
cided and pronounced that the hopes
of corruption in this city shall become
UTTERLY EXTINCT. The i'm
punity with which this abandoned
CLIQUE has oppressed and robbed the
people is beyond all example in thu
history Of municipal government. 1t
insolence and rapacity are withou
parallel 1t shamelessly perpetrates
the most intolerable enormities, ant
with equal effrontry, seeks to make
merit of it's crimes.
The Baker clique is a combination
of cupidity, intolerance and hypocris.
accommodate In the sight Of g Coo
and man."
, Having thus copied literally from
the Courier of last year to refresh tn
. minds of our voters as to the mean
I resorted to last Spring, and which
which, with the importation of 200 o
| 300 voters, were successful in defeat
ing the Republican Party, we shal
| next, from time to time, review Mayo
WALKERS administration for the las
, year, and show how he has futile,
: the many pledges made to the peopl
: when be was candidate. We hav
repeatedly called upon him to report
n but at this writing he has not com
d piled. Approaching his modesty i
not parading his doings before tn
!. public, we shall take great pleasure i
reporting them for him.
