significant, whatever may be thought OF
them on the score Of dignity.

HOME MATTERS.
CITY ELECTION.
Trot Out Your Horses for the Race.
Only Two Candidates for Mayor. and the Lists
Still Open for Aldermen and School Directors.

The general impression that our present city
charter would be voted down and the general In
corporation law adopted in its place at the elec-
ton last Monday, by which the city election
would have been put off until the middle OF
April, threw the grand army Of Office seekers
somewhat off their guard, and now the city cleo
ton drops down on them like shower with no
umbrellas to put up.
As to mavor, however, candidates had been
talked of for week or two. Tho names most
prominent, and the only two now regularly pre-
scnted, are those OF Samuel Nicholson and L. W.
Brewer. Both are well known attorneys Of this
city, and as it is Of considerable importance Just
now that our mayor should nave more knowl.
edge of law than is usually found outside Of the
profcsson,the city is fortunate in having lawyers
otherwise SO unobjectionablc, as candidates.
Personally we should have no preference between
them except the natural ono of prefcrring the
older and more experienced, which would be Mr..
Richolson, but having had part, week or two
ago, in persuadiDg Mr.. Nicholson to become q
Icandidate We feel under weightier obligations
to support him than his opponent. He was born
in this county, and has for ten or fifteen years
been a resident of this city; he is lawyer OF nc.
Iknowledged ability and of at least ten years sue
ccssful practice; is property owner and tax
payer, which indeed onght to be made legal
qualification for the Office Of mayor, and man
who, both In the line Of his profession and as an
interested citizen, has had occasion to make
himself pretty thoroughly acquainted with our
lcity's affairs, its finances and whole financial
machinery. Indeed the city is fortunate in hay
ing man so competent and unobjectionable in
all respects that is willing to take the Office, and
we hope he will be elected by rousng MAORI
ty While expressing this hope, however, we
desire to do no injustice to MIR. Brewer. He is q
young lawyer OF good parts, and as city attorney
for the past two years has obtained such an inti-
mate knowledge Of the affairs Of the city as to 1T
him very well for the Office Of mayor.
