CITY ELECTION.


NJ. Ii. Swift, ESD, Candidate for Mayor.
Our City election occurs two weeks from next
Monday. The most important officer to elect, of
course, is Mayor. As we explained last week, in
an article glancing at the state of the cty's
finances the city will need, to get through the
difficulties of the coming year, not only Mayor
OF consummate financial skill, but must be backed
by 4 board of aldermen of sound business COM
mon sense and intelligence. The voters OF Otta-
wa will be culpably careless of their own best in.

Mayor and aldermen
While there have been several other gentlemen
named in connection with the Office of Mayor
gentlemen TO whom we have no objection to Of
fertile name of NJ. II. Swift, Esq, has been pre-.
scented by such IN array of our leading business
men and property holders, that there seems to be
no resisting this appeal. Mr.. Swift is believed
to pssess prominently the qualifications for the
oillcc that are now especially needed. His fnan-
cial skill is indisputablc; and he is careful,
panstaking man. knows all the wants of our
city, and is one OF its oldest residents and one
Of its largest tax payers and property holders.
We doubt whether ii ia possible for the city just
now to do better than to elect Mr.. Swift, who
certainly deserves praise FOR his willingness, UNI
der the circumstances, to accept an office which
in any view must be to a man like him so unde-
sirablc. The following correspondence explains
how Mr. Swift becomes u candidate:
