The name OF William GrifIenstein is an
uounced as "a candidate for Mayor. This
seems meet and right, and justice also, even
il it is tardy. II there il to be no political or
other issue to divide our people upon this
question OF Office, it would seem peculiarly
appropriate that the founder OF the town and
the man who has probably done more than
any other single individual to make 1t what
il is to-day should be honorsd in this small
way as a recognition of such services. Mr..
Griflenstein ID liberal man, as is known to
all our people-lieeral in every particular.
he has been liberal to the churches, liberal
to all the beneficiary societies, liberal to the
newspapers, liberal to the ministers, liberal
to schools and an EXTREMIST IN nothing, and
il seems TO US that he was long since entitled
to the slight recognition now asked. We
have said this much several times before IN
substance and unless the Republican organi-
cation puts UP candidate we will feel very
free to support Uncle Bill, knowing .irom six
years of close intimacy that all the energies
Of bis mind, wealth and body will be devoted
to the very best material interests OF the
much we say without having spoken word
to him or his friends on the subject. After
all, there IS but little power connected with
MayoraIty; that rests with the eouncil-only
i little honor, 10 which honor no man is
more entitled, for at least one year, than the
gentleman named.
Heretofore our city elections have always
rfFt nft
strife that resulted in no good. This year
there appears to be not only no excitement, |
but utter in difference. One extreme seems
10 be following another. which is 10 be dep |
recateG' Matters should not go by default, |
in the matter of counellmen especially. We |
note the fact that our Old contemporary, last
week, endorsed heartily the last admiuistra-
ion and praised tho accomplished work OF
Mayer, council and officers. We had intend
I'd 10 do as much ourselG but il is not too late
o say thai in the main we have little fault 10
ind aud much 10 commend aud praise in the
work OF the last year. AS a municipality or
corporation we are out OF debt and our reve-
lues are, in the absence OF direct taxation,
abundant to maintain officials and 70 meet all
expenses.
Since writing The above and just before We
70 to press W. s. Coroett sends in his an
as 4 candidate fer Mayor also.
WHAT we said for Mr. Grifenstein does hot
leiract irom Mr.. Corbett, who is good cti-
en and upright business man and an honor
hle gentleman, to all OF which we would
beerfuliv attest, nevertheless we still believe
hat Mr.. GriIhnstein is not only the best
nan for the position, but that he is far more
ntitled to it than any mia ia the city.
