YESTERDAY our handsome Mayor again
appeared on the streets, IA good, as bland,
as smiling and a. well dressed as before his
late sickness.
His waichword is economy. His appear
anoe excited general admiration. Indeed,
he is a noble looking man. There he sat in
hls costly carriage (Sl..50i upon the. back
seal. in the center thereof. He had on
new plug tSl.50). He sat firmly upon his
seat resting both hands upon the slender
cane leaning slightly forward, bowling gra-
ciously upon the common people as they
deferentally dotted their hats 10 him. The
magnificent horse $50 which drew the
precious load seemed to eel of as much i'm
portance as the owner. The diamond ESQ
shirt stud on the bosom of our Hushious
Mayor attracted much attention, from the
fact that il was only borrowed jewell.
The public feeling in favor of the Mayor
is very strong, complimentary expressions
were on the lips OF all. ''By George what
splendid looking man our Mayor is. " "There
goes a man of nerve" Hes got backbone"
'sThere goes the head of the Democracy"
"He's the man that made the big speech on
the Democratic victory al kiekapoo in
1858" Ale fought the battle of Wilson's
Creek "There's where he got wounded"
lin the throat. Hes the most economical
Mayor we ever had (yes, he goes in for FIVE
cent drinks Indeed there was but one man
in the whole town who said an ugly thing
about the Mayor. The City Attorney
thought he was damned TOOL because he
didn'I sign his $3.50 of scrip. The Attorney
apologised for using profane language on
being assured that the Mayor would yield
after moderate pressure and sign the scrip.
