TIE VILLAGE ELECTION.
Tho candidates for tho village offices are noy
fairly before the people,, aud comparisons are h
order. The Peoples party nominated its t1cke
last Monday, and the Regular ticket was placed
in the field Wednesday. Day after Tomorrow
will reveal the decision Of the voters, aud pu
m end to tho toll Of the small politicians.
It maybe remarked that there are no princd
pies involved in this election, though eaeh fac
ton has certain ends to gaiE which depend upon
it's succese. On the ode hand, the leaders Of the
Regular party have for an object the retention
Of Mr.. l. D. Waldron ~ Treasurer Of the vii
lsge, and Alr. r. s. Thompson rs Attorney, with
4 general continuance Of the supremacy OF
power in the centre OF the village, at Hyde Park
| and Kenwood stations. Tho underlying object

B. Powell; Clerk, j. S. scoyel.
It will be observed that Mr. J. r. Hoxie. hav-
ing been nominated by tne Peoples party Mon-
day, was added to the Regular ticket Wedues-
day. This YVES confession OF weakness by the
latter party which was quite unexpected but
as the result vii! be the election Of most capa-
BILE and trustworthy man. there will be no occa-
alon for regret.
On The Regular ticket, Messrs. Bogue and Grey;
in the First District, are opposed to Mess1s.
Calhoun and Gillett. All OF these gentlemen
would do credit to the village. 'Mr. Gray has
long been the Town Assessor, and no man has
better knowledge Of the village than he, He Is
one of the best men in tile village for tho posi-

shown by his defeat in the recent town election.
