Poor MAYOR DAVIS His Fl Jnor is in a terri
BILE muddle. His efJrts to please everybody
are truly heroic, and his utter failure to please
rveryb body is hesrt-rending. His German
friends after him because he stopped their
sacred concerts on Sunday, and proposes to shut
up the beer houses on that day; while the Y.
NJ. G. A. thinking he don't do half enough is
after him with a sharp stick for his uelinquen-
cies. Previous to his election he made prom
lses to every class Of our citizens. To the 81
loon keepers that he would not interfere with
their business, because he liked his glass of
beer himself to our highly moral and light
laced friends that be would stop everything, to
everybody, in fact, he promised jus. what they
wanted. He is now tasting the sweets of AZ
Cfice obtained in such disreput .ble way. Il
is not probable that he will desire re-elec-
ton but if he does, he is jnst likely to get it
as "Stoier" or Cooley would be. OF course
nothing disreputAbls is meant in this connec
