rIIECITY ELECTION.

The voters Of the city Of Wheeling are
called on to-day to choose who shall hIl
the various Offices for the incoming terms
For the Mayoralty We have two gentle
men Of undoubtcd merit and integrity
outside Of the Democratic nomination,
viz: Messrs. Henry Schmulbach and John
McLnrc. The first named gentleman, al
though never connected in any way with
the official business Of the city, is recog-
nizcd as man Of excellent business CO.
pacity. The second has been connected
with much Of the financial and business
interests Of the city and in variety Of
important trusts has given satisfaction
to the public. For the office Of City
Sergeant We have Ed. NJ, Davis,
the present. acceptable incumbent, J.
W. Ward, Dick Richardson, Smith
Mcdonald, Matthew Almcyer and
Vim. McKCOwn. For City Clerk, =,
A. Britt, the present efficient and popular
Clerk, and T. $, Gillespie, For Supcrin-
tendeut of Water Works, John W. Cum
mings. For Wharimaster, Joseph For
syth. For the office Of Street Commits
sioner We have an abundant crop OF aspi-
rants; besides the present incumbent, Mr.
Leonhart, there are twelve others; out of
such superabundancc Of material our
citizens ought to he able to choose an eIli
cient officer. The candidates for seats IN
Council ARE also numerous, and the voteN'
Vi the several Wards ought certainly Ia
select from them u municipal body oI
which the city need not feel ashamed.
The present election is unusually free
from any entangling political questions,
Only very feeble attempt has been made
to organize the canvass under strict party
discipline, and party ties are extremely
weak, and party lines never hung more
loosely. 1t Is condition that should
characterize all municipal elections. Our
own corporate interests are the only OBJ
ects that should stand out prominently
before the people. The faithful aud eco
nomical administration Of our municipal
afFairsis the only legitimate consideration
that should engrOss our earnest attention
The city should have 10 political friends
either to reward or punish. There never
hus been u time IN which the city had
more need Of capable and efficient Oiti'
GERS lhan at the present writing; there
never has been time when she had
more need Of Ia Council composed Of sound
sensible men than now. There never has
been u time then, In which mcnshould be
selected with more reference To their Ca
pacity for seeing, appreciating and guard
ing the best interests OF the city, than It
any parlyalliliatons either past or pres
enL Party politics should therefore b,
entirely ignored, as well asa all mere Ware
considerations. The best men out Of tht
numerous body Of candidates should b'
voted for and elected, aud We trust tla
the result Of to-tlay's election will SHOW
that the considerations we have enumera
ted have been the only dominant ones il
tho minds Of our citizens. 49,.
