A CHALLENGE.
A chance for Van Gnd err and His Ring

Chance for Van Glider and His Ring
EDITORS CHRONICLE: After examining.
the reports of the various committees, who
have been pretending to represent the
city for the past three years, find that
great effort has been made to cast reflection
upon the Council, over which L had the
honor to preside during the years 1868 and
1869.
Now, Messrs. Editors, have two propo-
sitions to make to the gentlemen who
compose the present Board of Mayor and
Aldermen. The city taxes are as high
now and have been as high for the past
three years as they were during the two
years of my administration. But as the
amount of property subject to taxation has
increased vastly since [ was Mayor of
Knoxville, the city revenues with tho same
rate of taxation have increased largely
under Mayor Van Glider. T..
The revenue of the city, as shown .r.-..-
from official reports for 1858, WAS $40, 363. q
City revenue for 1862 was ..r 45i999.1 70
Total, for two years, S94, 1865 81
The city revenues for the three years of
Mayor Van elders administration have
reached the grand aggregate of S199, 991.l9,
or in round numbers TWO HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS.
Now, my first proposition to the pres
ent Board is this: Let competent en-
gineer be selected to measure and make
complete estimate of all the work done by
my administration during 1868 and 1859,
and then make an estimate of the work
done for the last three years under Mayor
Van Glider, and if it does not appear that
[ did more aUOrk with less money than
Mayor Van Glider has done, l will aban
don Mr.. Rule and vote and work for Mr..
Van Glider. Voters can not fail to notice
achere my work has been done. Market
Square, City Hall, Market-house EXten-
sion Steam Fire Engine, Asylum street,
Broad street. Crozier street, and Vine
street, are few Of the principals
of Day substantial improvements, either
completed or paid for by my administra-
ton. Where is Mr.. Van elders work? q
I'd Proposition, If the aggregate city
debt is not greater now than it was at the
end of my administration, l will abandon
Nir. Rule and vote for, and work for Mr..
Van Glider.
Let facts and figures tell their own story.

book on insects is the standard one in our
language, and has been adopted as a text
book in the principal universities Of this

in the various departments by the ablest

of the flowers and shrubs that grow upon

1t rained hard yesterday, and as the

AS all the arrangements had been made
