CITY OFFICERS. - The Republicans,
while declining to set up candidate for
Mayor, and thus divide the vote in favor
of honest and efficient government, have
nevertheless made excellent nominations
for the other offices.
George B. Warne, the candidate for City
Treasurer, is well qualified and of thorough
integrity. No better selection could have
been made.
The candidate for Assessor is Thomas
Sherwood, who has proved his fitness for
the position by former services. Mr..
Sherwood, to excellent judgment unites a
wise discretion, which enables lin to do
equal justice to the city and to the tax
payers His work has always been as
near satisfactory as is possible in that
office.
The ward nominations are equally judi
cious. In the first ward, J. J. Travis re-
ceived the unanimou nomination of the
Republicans. He has served in the same
capacity before, and was noted for the
zeal, intelligence and untiring energy
which he displayed in the performance of
his duties. He will prove valuable
member of the Council.
The Republican candidate for the Coun-
Gil in the I'd ward is Geo Steinmetz, one
of our most valuable, respectable and in
telligent German citizens. Mr.. Steinmetz
Will honor the place and perform its duties
with conscientious fidelity.
The Republicans of the third ward
nominated Tom Palmer as their candidate,
but he declining, the committee have sub
stituted D. L. Smith in his stead. 1t is
not necessary to speak of the qualifications
of the latter The ward is fortunate
that SO good a man has been induced to
accept the office.
In the fourth ward the Republican can
didate is J W. Johnson, one of the pres
cnt members Mr. Johnson is one of
our prominent business men, and brings
ability and good Judgment to the discharge
of his duties. His nomination could not
well be improved upon.
The fifth ward Republicans nominate

1t Stopped the Cough and Saved the
Child

We have recently had occasion to try
the virtue of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL in
our family. A little son, sick with the
prevailing fever, was affected With most
distressing cough, which would give him
no rest, night or day We have little
faith in 'patcnt" medicines, and seldom
much as try them; but something had to
be done, as the constant cough prevented
his recovery We accordnly procured a
bottle of the Cordial from the agents, and
commenced its use according to directions.
The effect was marked from the very first,
and the child that night enjoyed Il refresh
ing sleep; and by the next night there was
scarce a vestige of the cough left. If
this is fair sample of what the medicine
will do, its growing popularity is not to
be wondered at-Reedsburg FREE Press

ED. BULLETIN:-I find in Section 525 of
our present Code the following words:
The City Council shall have power to
establish and organize fire departments.
1st. Can the Council prescribe the
qualifications for membership in such
companies?
ID If so, could not the Council re-
quire that all members of such companies
shall have attained Il certain age?
Sd. Ought any young man under 25
Tor possibly 3o) years of age to be admit
ted to membership?
| believe there is no power in our COM
munity that so thoroughly demoralzes
our boys between the ages of Is and %
years as membership in a fire company.
l know of nothing that so quickly leads
them into the formation of wrong stand
ards by which to judge of merit, or so
sure out of the paths of temperance
While the older members of the company
render faithful and valuable services, the
chief attraction for the younger members
seems to be this unbridled license which
they seem so often ready to assume on
pretense rather than principle.
CITIZEN.
The publication of the above has called
out the Steamer Company with names and
ages, of every member of the organiza-
ton, which shows that the average age of
the company is 80 6-10 years,

Ed. ULLETIN:-IIaving completed the
assessment of Byron township, perhaps
a short statement of results and deductions
from the work may interest part of your
readers, AS the average assessed valua-
ton looks high when compared with the
instructions from the Board of Supervisors
to Assessors the writer offers the follow
ing reasons for what they are worth:
The facts that some farmers have neen
selling calves, from four to six weeks old,
to the butcher (hercby decreasing the
number of young cattle) That there are
goodly number of fat steers on hand :;
and that thoroughbred cattle are not scarce
in our township now, will account for the
high average of meat cattle Horses are
higher too, than commonly assessed,
which may be explained from the number
over 3 years old, but not old enough for
shipment, and to numbers on hand of
quality which docs not suit the eastern
buyer, leaving in farmers hands much
greater number of mature age than lie
commonly keeps.
The high average of young swine is
manifest from the price of pork, the mild
winter, and the fact that much of the corn
crop would not keep to be fed in summer.
A happy combination of circumstances,
which gives the pig all he can eat pleas
ant weather, and his own quick return
and large price for feed.

LOOK OUT FOR FALsEHooDs.-So of
the base and INSCRIPTIONS elements of
the OPPOSITION to Mr.. Holdridge, Indepcnd-
ent candidate for Mayor, are industriously
circulating lies made out of whole cloth,
concerning him, designed to affect his
vote at the polls. We only ask voters to
consider the source from whence these
rascally falsehoods emanate, and not to
take stock in them without investigation.
D. d. HoLDRIDaE FOR MAYOR. BY
reference to the report of proceedings of
the Republican City Caucus, held last
evening, it will be seen that very sensi-
BILE line of action was agreed upon, re-
garding the nomination for Mayor. This
was to refrain from making purely parti
san nomination, and to cordially endorse,
and recommend the reelection of Hon.
d. ID. Holdridge, our present Mayor,
solely On the ground of his excellent
record of impartial and fearless enforce
ment OF the laws and ordinances. This
is an eminently wise policy at this time,
when the only square issue before the
people, is law and order Oh the one hand,
against lax administration and defiance of
law and regulation on the other. Mr..
Holdridge has during the past year in
Office, proved himself an honest and eff
cient officer, 4 vast Improvement on many
of his predecessors Ill the same office.
AS between him and his opponent, Mr..
Roszell, it is not necessary, if it were
proper, to attempt to stir up personal
issues, or appeal to prcjudices. All that
is required is to examine their respective
official records, and from this determine
the line of duty. If honest, law abiding,
order loving men will do this, we shall
await tie result with confidence. We
contend that at this time, if we would not
have all law and authority fall into con-
tempt, and be trampled upon by the baser
elements of the community, we must re-
tain the men in Office who have shown
the most vigor and energy in enforcing
law. Such enforcement wrongs nobody;
on the other hanu, it protects society from
Generalization and decay Mr.. Hold
ridge has made record in this respect
that entities him to the support of every
good citizen irrespeCtive of party.

WE incidentally alluded last week to a
class of pretended practitioners Of law,
with we'll established characteristics, who
are known by the generic designation,
"Shyslers." This inspires the Conserou-
tic TO say, 1--WE query whether members
of the bar will fancy being called shysters
yb the public press " We can well mag
inc that those members of the bar (D"
to whom the term shyster is properly ap
piled would not be likely to accept it with
entire competency, to say the least; and,
1t may surprise our neighbor to hear that
in our use Of the'term, the thought of how
shysters would fancy it had no place
whatever. We imagine that reputable
members of the profession will hardly
worry themselves over the matter, how
ever.
