for KEnBEn. Among the candidates is F,
@. MCDONALD, an Independent Democrat and
member of the present Council, in which he
voted against CoLvN and in favor of calling
an election for Mayor. He is infinitely pref
ernbleto the crooked H11DnEru. 7. Z. Pnoss.
ER, an Independent Republican candidate, is
also good man.
In ths Eighth Ward the Republican candl-
dates are GEORGE ". SporroRD and FRAME
LAWYER. If elected, the ward will be tat
better represented than it has been for years.
They can be elected if tho respectable class
OF voters unite upon them but We under
stand that Messrs. PIERCE aud RoEsHo pro-
posa to run as independents, which will sim
ply result in the election Of the two old
Co1yM bummers, O'Bn1ES and BAILEY, two
Of the very worst men in the Council.
In the Ninth Ward the Republicans have
nominated JACOB BE1DLEn and ]. n. VAN
OsDE1, and no better men can be found any
where in the city.
In the Tenth Ward the only candidate
among all whose names are mentioned whom
we are inclined to recommend j 8 Alr. L. 81.
SMITH, who is said to be a good man. It is
to be hoped that WHITE may be defeated.
In the Eleventh Ward the Republican CAL
ddates, J. B. BR1GGs and A. G. THnooP, are
among the best men in the ward and in the
city. They will be elected, as they ought to
be.
In the Twelfth Ward S. q. McCREA and
JAMES T. RAw1E1GH are running independ-
emily. Both are prominent business men,
old residents, and among the very best selec-
tions TINT have been made for the Reform
Council Their election seems to be pretty
well assured, since Mr.. CLARK, ono of the
contestants, has withdrawn; but CAMPBELL
will poll strong vote.
In the Thirteenth Ward the Republican
majority is i1nperIed by faction-dghting,
feuds, and pickering. Aid CLEVELAND will
be reelected, we think, as he deserves to be.
Who the other successful candidate will be is
hard to tell, as things are badly mixed 1t iR
great pity there cannot be unity. A seat
in the Council will probably be thrown away,
and the bummers will gain an Alderman.
In the Fourteenth Ward the Republican
candidates, BAuMaAnTEa and ". F. JOHNSON,
ere BY all odds the best men Of the two
tickets.
In this Fifteenth Ward the principal work
Of the voters, irrespective Of party, should be
to defeat the hummer ToM STour, and PETE
MAuB, in case the latter is a candidate. They
ere two Of the worst men in the Council
In the Sixteenth Ward, whoever else may
be voted for, JAKE IEHoAoHEH and PAT KE1-
IL ought not to be. ARSo Voss, 8 Democrat,
and FRANK L1SsrsBARTH, independent Re
publican, are probably the best men in the
field.
In the Seventeenth Ward there are about
seventeen candidates, including 1oH CARNEY.
The chief public interest in the fight in that
ward is that SWEENEY and MURPHY, two Col
white Aldermen in the present Council, may
be defeated.
The regular candidates in the Eighteenth
Ward are beloved to be good men on both
sides but it will be safest to elect Messrs
K1nk Halves and JACOB BosER. AL parties
should watch the CoRoonAN gang to see that
they do not run him in ahead of all the
known candidates when the votes come to be
counted
We have thus endeavored TO make fair
canvass Of the A1dermanic contest, without
political bias and with single view to
reformation in the Council, beginning with a
new Mayor. AL citizens, whether Democrats
or Republicans, should be governed by the
same motive At this time, and vote accord
ingly.
