The Opposition to Bailey Davenport a
Personal O.e.

Personal Oxe.
There never has been opposition to
Bailey Davenport for mayor which was
founded on public principle or had any
reference to public good. The opposition
to him has always been purely personal
growing out of personal and family matters
and controlled and carried on by the
friends of those who fancied they had a
personal grievance to redress. One of the
strongest friends Of the personal party
opposing him has told us that he had
watched Mr.. Davenport's official course
carefully for years, in order to find him
doing some act for his own benefit which
was not for the public good, but he was
willing to say that he never could find it,
and he added, with emphasis: II don't
believe Bailey Davenport ever did an
official act or ever used his official
position to benefit himself as against
the public Interest,"" That tells the whole
story of his official life. No man, no
matter how intimate friend land he don't
allow anybody to be very intimate With
him) could never get him to do any act
which he did not believe to be for the good
of the people generally. And no reason,
but personal one, can be given why lie
should not have every vote in the city for
mayor. In 1862 his strong union
principles overrode and crushed out even
this personal warfare, and he had no oppo-
nent But he has generally had opposi
sition, growing wholly out of this persona
matter. The Republican organization has
been controlled and used against him by this
personal party, but large numbers of Re
publicans have always voted for him and
probably always will, as long as this per.
sonal matter is used to drive the Republi.
can party and control it's action. Who.
ever the Republican candidate is he mus,
always be personal friend of this per.
sonal party. Look back apd see: Carse
once; Calf once; Murdock three times;
DR.. Truesdale twice; Reynolds twice; DR.
Plummer once; Geo. W. Peasants once
all pc rsonal friends of this personal party
that, for personal reason, uses the Re
publican organization. AND now Butler
another of that personal ring!
We repeat what we before said: Their
is no opposition to Bailey Davenport fo
mayor, and never was, except sssuch a
grows out Of personal and not publi
reason. He is the best man in town fo
mayor, and ought to have every vote.

Opposed to Paying Policemen.

Alderman Butler offered and got passed
by his water board council resolution not
to pay newly appointed policemen until
they had been confirmed by the council,
This was done at time of most danger
to persons and property and was intended
to nullify the state law giving the mayor
power to appoint policemen whenever in his
judgement, the public interests required.
The mayor vetoed the resolution and that
was the end of it. 1t was an atten pt on
the part of Buffers water board ring to
usurp power that does not belong to them,
aud which does belong to the mayor.

The mass meeting at the court house on
Wednesday evening was one of the largest
ever held in this city-many people hav-
ing to 90 away because they could not get
into the house. That meeting unanim-
ously, and with rousing cheers, adopted
the following:
Resosued, That the honesty, incorruptibility and
faithful publicservices of Hon. Bailey Davenport
command our warmest admiration We commend
his unceasing efforts to save the peoples money
and to administer their affairs with fidelity; and we
especially commend his efforts 10 keep down the
debt and expenses of the water works, and to pro-
mote their efficiency and to increase their revenues

or Republican, is better qualified to intelligently
and faithfully discharge the delicate and respon.
sible duties of Mayor than Bailey Davenport. We
know that the leoples interests are safe in hi.
