The REAsos WHY.-we have been
requested TO announce the reason why
there is a prospect that the municipal
officers are not likely to be filled by good
material during the ensuing official year.
IL is because the candidates do not drink
what they should drink. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
of the Sun Flower saloon, says he will
assure the election to the Office of Mayor,
OF the candidate whose friends drink po-
tations polite deep of his Kentucky Bour-
bon, the best in the city; that all csndi-
dates for clerk, and their friends, should
Indulge in his French Brandy; that the
seekers after the treasury should try his
cigars that the aspirants, for Marshal
being delicate gentlemen, should take to
his wines; and that everybody who de-
sires good city governments should play
billiards on his excellent tables.
