do you do. Mr.. Dannetteil! we bow be-
fore you. but would vote for DIR. Car
penter. if we lived in his Wardl
Willard Carpenter is q citizen of
thirty years residence in Evansville.
He came here when our city was a
village. He is a nan of progress; a
citizen of denomination; a man Of
large means, whether the contrary be
said or not, and has always been first
and foremost In all public improve
ments. He looks to the success of
the city, and steadiastly opposes all
cliqaes. The honest voters know
very well whether he viii be for them
or against them in tho race for pro
gress, success, glory, and a good city
government. DanDettsil and Carpen-
teri Choose between them.
Charles Schauml He was nomina-
ted il the Fifth Ward. He is a
pleasant fellow-a nice man. He
sells malt. votes the Radical ticket,
and is a brother-in-laW of George
| Woidin! If these things do not con
stitute a sufficient recommendation,
we do not know what would We
shall tip our glass with Charley when
we meet him, and wish him success
in the malt business!
John A. Reitz is the competitor Of
Mr. Schaum. IF there is a man in
Evansville who has done more for
the city than Mr.. Reiiz, We do not
know it. He came to EVaEsvil e a
poor man, and has made a fortune by
attention TO business, and being a
fair and square mar in all his deal
iDgs with the people. He remembers
the poor, because be was him
self poor. He befriends the laboring
men because he has himself labored
He builds up the city because he has
an interest 10 its success. He is an
honest nan because he is himself
honest. He labors for the people be
cause he is one of the people. He
aids In the construction of public
works because such works are needed
to d~eVelope the city aud the resources
of the country; he is charitable be-
cause be has the ability to exercise
charity; he is honest because it is right
for all men to be honestl Choose,
voters, choose between John 4. ReItz
aud Charley Schaum. Let US all go
to Charley Schaum's; smell of his
malt; take q glass Of lager, if he in-
vites us out" aud then-voTE FOR
JOHN A. REITZ!
The Courier sneers at the occupa-
ton of Messrs. D~annettell and
Schaum. Une makes, and The other
sells, beer. This. We take it. sounds
strangely when contrasted with the
u%tterances of that paper for the past
three months. We believe Messrs.
Sehaum and Daunettell have never
been accused Of trying to dodge pay
ing their honest debts.
We regard Mr.. John A. Rsitz, and
Mr.. Willard Carpenter as strong men
They look after their own interests
strongly, and they have made money
by the operation. They are both
public spirited men. We mean By
that, they feel a great interest in pub
lie affairs, and so far, we honor them
for it. Mr.. Reitz believes too, in
economizing public expenditures, cs-
pecially 10 those portions of the city
in which he bas no particular proper
ty interest. He is also in favor Of
getting as much work as possible for
the smallest outlay Of money. This
he proved, by his influence, when a
member of a previous Council, in bav-
ing the wages of laboTing men reduced.
We presume it is for the latter ser
vices that the Courier is so enthusi-
astic in his praise.
But we protest against the Courier
running four candidates in the Fifth
Ward. We can not believe that
Meesrs. Reitz and Carpenter will run
we'll on the same ticket. They en-
terrain too high an opinion of each
others sagacity and integrity for that.
On the other hand, the Republicans.
so far as Mr.. Schaum is concerned,
have made different arrangements.
They propose to have him represent
the Sirth Ward in the next Council.
They think Dannettell will repre-
sent the Fifth to the entire satisfaction
of its voters. without auy assistance.
The C0urier'S dissertation on the
Seventh Ward is neutralized by the
fact that Mr.. Rice. aud not Capt.
Kehler is the Republican candidate.
The Eighth and Ninth Wards are
disposed of with a flourish of the pen.
The Courier fails to enlarge upon the
contest between the candidates in the
Eighth Ward. especially. In this We
commend its prudence.
But of course so long and exhaust
i've an editorial could not be closed
with other than a formidable climax,
so we have it in the following para
graph
Let the street railroad monopoly
perish. Let the gss monopoly pine
away silently to a certain death. Let
the new water works monopoly be
nipped in the bud. Let ali the clans
and combinations perish and be bur
led Ia a dishonored grave.
And it is with such bombast and
fustian the Courier hopes TO influence
intelligent votersl We feel confident,
however, that like tie speech of the
Paducah gentleman on Tuesday night,
it will sour on the stomachs of those
who read the stuff, and create disgust
where it is expected to make the most
powerful impression.
