pubHcan voters Of the town shou Id be particu-
Iarl called to the importance, at this time md
nncel existing Giro umstances, OF electing a
proper man to that position. 1t is all import
ant that our nomn ee should be a good, true,
and staunch Republican,; next, he should be a
man OF good business capacity and of sound
Judgment; and last, but by meaus least, he
should be man possessed of a cided real
estate interest in the town. and feel a warm in
terfst, TO be backed by earnest and active
advocacy, Of the introduction of railroad facili-
ties into the town. for now is emphsticalIy the
time for that. The present Mayor, Mr. Welsh
l presume. will not, for various reasons, be a
canG Idate. L observe that Major George Hill.
Jr, and Br. Charles IL. CragIn have been
named in the papers as probable candidates.
and without Knowing the feeling OF the Repub-
Iican voters of the town on the subject, VEN
ture TO say that either OF those gentlemen would

lid, ID by fnll meetiL- of the Republican
Ito, OF the town, and which meeting should
