B. These are the candidates. Those prs
scented by the Democrats are
no manner inferior to the r
II II publican candidates. Each one of our Cal

representative man of the people, interes
'g ed in the prosperity of the city and ii
~ ~ prudent and economical management

re all can be elected if their friends In Il
Mt several wards do their duty, and the cane
~ ~ dates and committees make the proper {
fort
il In one respect they are greatly superi
zee to any man on the Republican ticket. TIL
are not the indorsers of Grants CORFU
ZEE and tyranical administration. All the R
publican candidates are.
Compare the men, side BY side and say,
