The spring campaign in the clothing trade has
begun at FIsKE & BEEM's, the fashionable cloth
iers and merchant tailors on Madison ST. The
goods have been purchased, many of them, and
are now beginning to arrive, the first lots reach
Ing Ottawa this week from the east. The ariy-
ais include both piece goods for use in the mer-
chant tailoring department, and ready made
clothing of all grades suitable for spring.
These goods, as is always the custom with this

buyer of many years experience who can hard
" be deceived Furthermore they were selected
with special reference to the wants of this COM
munity where the firm have done business so
long and in whom their customers have come to

We believe the public will find these goods of
very superior quality, as varied in style as in
any house in the west, for be it remembered that
FIsKE & BEEN clothe not only La Sale county
but various parts of this state outside and the
west as far rs "the backbone of the continent"

Editors Free T,1der-The Ottawa correspondent
of the Chicago Evening Journal sent telegram
to that paper which was published on the 9th
inst saying, ''that / was in favor of paying the
Water Power Bonds" ! assert that such state
mcnt is Il malicious falsehood, and defy the par
ties who instigated this Islander to show any
foundation for it. There is no such issue here as
the payment or non-payment of either Water
Power or Railroad Aid Bonds, that question is
now before the Courts and is for them to settle,
If every person in Ottawa voted for or against
the payment it cannot affect the result, and it is
simply piece of demagogueism to make and
keep political capital. Nine-tenths of the people
of Ottawa are opposed to the payment of any of
those bonds and will not pay them unless com
PEELED by the Courts. If the committee acting for
the city had used a little judgment in making the
contracts with the Ottawa Manufacturing Co.
this matter might have been avoided and the city
saved from an expensive law suit Respectfully,

City Election.

The elements begin to warm up little in ref
erence to our approaching city election, and so
far us q general excitement on the subject tends
to bring out good men, the hotter it gets the bet
ter Thus far the only man really on the track
for Mayor is John d. Young, who was nominated
by a meeting at the Clifton Hotel, as stated in
our last. A paper, however, signed by about $50
leading citizens, is published in Thursdays Re
publican, inviting Andrew Lynch to be a candi-
date, and though he has not yet said so, the gen
eral impression is that he will consent to run. In
that case the contest would be between Young
and Lynch, as it was two years ago, and rs we
supported Mr.. Lynch then, we should do again
as being altogether the more competent man of
the two on the score Of experience, thorough
practical acquaintance with the affairs of the city,
energy, pluck, and general administrative abili-
ty We can say this freely without the least
abatement of our respect from Mr.. Young as a
good citizen and courteous gentleman.
The only changes announced this week. differ
ing from the state represented as probable in our
last in the aldermanic line, are: In the first ward,
John Kelley will run vice L. B. Deano who will
not be candidate. Timothy Fenton is also a
probable candidate and is expected to run. Mr..
Porter, the very efficient alderman going out, de-
clines a reelection, we believe.
Ia the third ward Mr.. John Leonard, who in
former years served in this capacity with credit
to himself and the city, will run Bowman de
clines, with thanks.
In the fifth, W. ii. Hull tried to get out of it,
but long string of names to u petition to that
effect, and some stiff urging orally, brought him
out and he consents to run.
In the seventh ward, Mr.. Griffith who has so
ably represented his wardn the last cauncil, will
doubtless be re elected.
