What a Republican Says of Davis.

w ndb xoe puoAlChA says Va O@sAS'
Last evening, previous to the caucus in the
Fifth ward, prominent Republican said
to an ARGUS reporter: Honestly, now, l
do think that Davis is the worst stoughen-
bottle we have ever had in the council-a
regular wooden-head with no brains or
mind of his own. He will not get my
vote, that's certain. We have plenty Of
men who would fill the position creditably
and well. Who ever heard Of Davis sug
costing anything or making motion dur
ing all the time he has been in the coun-
Gil? The only thing he has done, and
kept doing, is that he has voted with the
water board party on every question. But
l believe that, on two-thirds OF the
questions on which he has voted. he can
not give any any other reason for doing
so than that our party voted that way.
would like to see man elected who had
some sense, and who was not a regular
wooden head" This is the language of a
leading Republican in that ward. Should
any of Mr.. Davis's friends think that the
above was only an invention of reporter
they can have the name of the gentleman
who made the remark, and also who he
voted for on the informal ballot in the
meeting.
