place in one of our recent political caucuses, be-

in this wise: They concluded to nominate
one another for some office in order to get
their names before the people, and agreed
that they should vote for each other, so that
when the votes were counted out by the prop
er officer, they each would have vote
apiece but 10, when the count was made, one

and his fellow had none. The tricky fellow
had voted FOR himself and cheated his partner
out of his half of the bargain. At least this is

against the Democratic nominations for Com

Republican candidates are mnch the best men
for the position. 1t will be noticed that the
Democratic nominees are all strange to the
business of the Council, while two of the Re-
publican candidates are members of the pres
ent body. The importance of having some
persons in that body who understand the
transactions of the previous year, is patent to
ALL 1t is true that two of the Demo
cratic candidates were members years ago,
but they know nothing of the business OF
the body under the new organization as a city.
