THE CITY CANVASS.
The Democratic Candidates.

To-day we place at our mast head a full
democratic ticket of candidates for munich
pal Offices. Although the well known char
acser of most of our nominees makes q for
NAL introduction to our readers unnecessary,
jet we think so good a ticket deserves spe |
cial mention.
At the head of the democratic ticket We |
have the name of Z. R. CABLE, than whom.
We confidently assert, no gentleman in the
city is more fitted for the position to which
be has been nominated. He combines in a
remarkable degree sill the qualities requisite
or desirable for the Mayor of this city at
this time. He ia one of our most energetic
reliable and public spirited citizens; he is q
man of activity and enthusiasm in anything
10 which he feels an interest, and not
only ambitious for the growth and
prosperity of the city but is personally inter
ested 20 q large extent and in various dreo
tons, in everything that is likely to conduce
to it's welfare; his practical business capaci
ties are of the fret order, and his business
integrity and private character are beyond
reproach he is q man of hne judgment,
quick perception and ipdomitsble persever-
ance. These are qualities which will be
generally conceded to him, but particularly
BY those who know him most intimately.
Indeed be is so pre-eminently fitted for the
office tina, We can afford, in speaking Of
him, TO save his competitor the disparaes
ment Of comparing or contrasting the two.
We do NOS hesitate to declare it a. our
opinion that mia nomination is the most in
dicious that could have been made, and
that every voter and tax psyer in the
city is interested, whether he think
so or not, in his election.
P. T. MCELHERNE, our candidate for
Police Magistrate is also 9 strong nomins-
ton, ana one thas we are quite certain will
be ratified by q maj GRITTY of his fellow towns
men. 1t is not too much to say that he il
one of the most promising, if not the best
of our young attorneys. He has heretofore
been entrusted with one of the most import
ant and res ponsible offices in the town
, that of collector-the duties OF which ht
discharged with satisfaction to the publi
and credit to himself.
FOR ALDERMEN
We have in the First Ward. JACOB WoLLEk
HAUPT, who is a candidate for re election
Having dry goods and notion store O
Orleans street, he is known, and favorabl
J known to almost every voter in his Ware
p During his two years service in the Counc
he he's been distinguished for punctualis
= and fsithfulness, and especially has b
d shown himself the friend of the !aborin
= man.
/ In the Second Ward tina, staunch, soli
old Engishmsn, JACOB RILEY,
e likewise q candidate for reelection
p While he don't run much to elocution in II
d Council or elsewhere, be possesses qua liti
o OF tar greater value IN an Alderman.
i owns considerable property, which is Il
t accumulation of the toll of his own han
d, and Is the reward of his own industry al
d integrity in business. IA is g practical, mt
IL t-r-of-tsct man, thoroughly conversant wi
and alive to the material interests of q
g city, and has both the disposition and le
is ure to look after them, as il evidenced
n his faithful and unremitting labors on t
a. street committee during kis two years
at service. Probably nobody is better g
quAinted with, and We dare say more rea,
to testify to, the extent and value of the
services than his republican co-labor
Alderman Woods.
E. W. BoYEToS, our candidate in t
Third Ward, although not 30 general
known as the others named, is a man
whom We may we'll feel proud and in who
hands the pu blio interests may well be entru
ed He is superintendent of one Ieparim,
~ of the government works or the Island ,havi
come from the Waterfowl Mass Arsel
Fl about five years ago 10 enter upon his prs
W ent employ ment He is an intelligent, ind
- trious, faithful man, and q worthy citiz
IN and ID regarded by those best Acquains
R with him one of the very best nomins ATTIC
~. made by either party for any position.
NIB GEORGE WAGNER, our candidate in
I, 3 Fourth Ward, needs no introduction to t
len citizens of that ward, where he 10 known
Ar one of it's most active and successful b,
ness men He ia an old resident and /
before served in the council and thereby
~ quired experience in the position to VIII
the no is nominated.
Altogether We have a ticket for which
I'D, may cheerfully and zealously labor
"A merely as partizans but as citizens, for
sh, election, we feel assured, will promote
en- welfare of the whole people of the city.
-ns. therefore appeal to every Democrat
8 every good citizen to see that all honora
lie and fair means are used to secure the Q
len, cess at the polls of every candidate.
~; now have only three days in which to MT
W; the canvass, and We hope that each
IVA may be made feld-dsy, and that ev
- Democrat will earn laurels in the ranks.
