TEE CANDIDATES FOR ALDERMEN.
No more serious or timely thought can oo-
cupy mems minds to-day than the considera-
ton of their duty as citizens in the exercise
Of their right Of suffrage next Tuesday. The
prosperity Of the city, the growth Of trade,
the sanctity Of tho home, the influences for
good or bad, the value of property, the cost
of living, are all involved in the character Of
the new Council which is then to be chosen.
It will be the only opportunity of years to
make clean sweep of bnmmerism md intro
duce preponderance Of the respectable e1e-
ment. In future elections but one-half the
whole number Of Aldermen will be chosen,
but next Tuesday tho entire Council is to bo
elected. # the new regime can be started
out with good men there will be little Diff
Guilty in maintaining character and respecta-
bility in the future; if not, then there will
be little hope for decent people and the tax
payers for years to come. The present city
charter intr1sts the Council with all the i'm
portant duties Of the City Government. Re-
form must begin there. Without its COOP
Grafton it will be impossible to rid the
city Of CoLv1S's presence as Mayor,
and impossible to reduce the num-
ber Of bummers and lonfers who subsist
upon the taxes, or in any other way to cut
down the extravagant appropriations which
are eating up mems property, closing up
manufactures, throwing work1nen ont Of en-
ployment, and contracting the volume OF
business. It is in the interest Of every man
who earns an honest livelihood, whether he
be in business for himself or have employment
from others, to vote for those candidates in
his ward who promise to inaugusate new
Government, from Mayor down, on the
principle of honesty and retrenchment.
In the First Ward the men who ought to
be elected are D. Z. PEARSON and McAuLEY,
since Mr. WENTWORTH has absolutely de-
cEned to stand. PEARSON is iberal-ninded
ters always to vote for the best men, and
always to oppose bummeris1n- He is large
property holder, and is engaged now in spend
ing good deal Of money in the erection Of
new buildings in the city. The other candi-
date, JOIN L. McAu1EY, is 4 Republican,
and was brave soldier in tho Union Army;
he is business man of excellent char
acter, intelligent, honest, and public
spirited. These gentlemen have been
united upon with great unanimity by
the respectable Democrats and Republicans
in opposition to the bunmers' candidates,
FRANK WARREN and D. J. Lyon, who were
nominated by crowd Of imported roughB.
The issue in this ward is essentially Co1yN
and ani-CoLvN. Thera is no other. WAR-
ZEN and LToH are bound to Co1vN, and
every vote given for them is vote given
for CoLvN's retention Of the Office Of Mayor
in opposition to the popular will
In the Second Ward the Republican can
didates are JAooB ROSENBERG and ADDISON
both excellent men, well known
and respected in business. The principal
Democratic candidate is FITZGERALD, one of |
the CoLvM Aldermen Of the present Council. I
The respectable Democratic voters should |
unite on RosEEBERa and BALLARD in their I
common interest to secure the best men for |
tho new Council. J
In the Third Ward there will be no serious.
opposition to Messrs WILLIAM A1DR1cH and |
]. L. THOMPSON, who are both frst-class men |
and will do their full share in the publication
Of the new Council i
In the Fourth Ward a1} four candidates are
good men, but the ward is largely Republican,
md Messrs. STEWART and GILBERT, the Re-
publican candidates, will undoubtedly be
elected, as they ought to be, by 1000 ma
iority.
In the Fifth Ward there are two Repub-
lean candidates, ScHM1rz and VAN OI1sDA.
Both are good men. SCHM1rz has served in
Council and made clean record The reg
liar Democratic nominees (SoMxEn and
fRAcEz) are scaly fellows, and ought to be
1efeated. Many decent Democrats who are
lot willing to vote for the Republican candi-
lates are supporting MARX SHERIDAN, who is
unning Independently. They want an AL
herman who will vote to put Co1v1a out Of
he Mayornlty.
In the Sixth Ward the Republican nomi-
lees are L KAKusKA and HENRY VoIK. The
ormer is Bohemian, Of which nationality
here is large element in the ward. They
re both respectable citizens and well spoken
# by their neighbors. The ward is strongly
>emocratic, but, we hope, not given over to
or ColviniEm.
In the Seventh Ward there are eight or
ina candidates altogether. But the tax
ayers and decent people ought to unite so
S to defeat the indicted blathersbite, Hu-
'RErH, who is GOWNS principal henchman,
nd MATT FLEMING, who is Of the same
tripe. The Republicans aze running ona
nost excellent man, HExBx KzEBEn, boss
tone-cutter, and as honest and upright q
aan as can be found in the ward All the
ecent and anti-bummer men should 60 solid
