These are the candidates. Those pre-
sented by the Democrats are in
no manner Inferior to the Re-
publican candidates. Each one of our can.
didates is suitable man for the place, a
Representative man of the people, interest
ed in the prosperity OF the city and the
prudent and econonical MANAGEMENT ol
its affairs, and they ought to be elected, and
. all can be elected if their friends IN the
several wards do their duty. and the candi
dates and committees make the proper eff
fort.
. To one respect they are greatly superior
, to any man ON the Republican ticket. The.
are not the indorsers of Grants corrup
and tyranical administration. All the Re
], publican candidates are.
, Compare the men, side by side and say ,o1
Tuesday, which you prefer. If the MAJ
:. nominated was not your first choice, thin
! how much he is to be preferred {, the ma
!. your opponents offer, and then make an ei
d fort to carry our whole ticket.
