DIR CITY ELECTION

OUR CITY ELECTION
The day apprenticeship day for
which all days were made-zwhen our
citizens viii be called upon to select
city officers for the next municipal
year. Eager thoughts and anxious
eyes are already turning towards that
day, as much priced by hungry Of
flee seekers and thirsty voters. Well
let them tune. While expectant cam
didates are laying in large stock OF
smiles, and are practicing before their
glasses, how to bow and nod to voters
across the street, and how to look
bland, and shake hands cordially, let
the people begin to ''look a leedle
oud."
That there can be improvement
made in the cast of city officers nor
will deny. And it is the duty Of sso&
citiz,ns to look to this matte ii una

faithful chief officer. He is hereby

If any one desires to be distanced in
contest for the-Mayoralty, let him
try his bottom against the present in
cumbent. ''Let well enough alone
