If the good people of Alexandria are not bored
to distraction with the calls and cards of innu-
merable candidates tor Office, 7 would ask their
ear for moment, that may briefly urge the
claims of one of our worthy ctiz ,ns. whose
name appears in connection with the once or
Mayor.
Three candidates are announced for tue once
the present mount ent, (Mr. Remper) Mr..
Geo. L. Simpson and Mr.. e. z. Downhsm. The
first named gentleman has held the cthce durln
several terms; he has given reasonable s+ti>1ac.
ton to his friends, aud has ,ceived ample re-
Enumeration for his services. HIS party has con-
ferred upon him all the honor the office entails.
and We think he should now step aside and suit
fer some other coisborer in conservatism to be
honored by his party associates Mr.. KS. du'
ties Is attorney at law, commissioner IN cnance-
~, notary pubic, &C., &C., should at least graz
ify his am bition and yield handsome support
for his family
Mr.. Simpson is very worthy young cltIzsn,
much esteemed by his friends and consistent
party man, but his youthful judgment in public
affairs is too apparent to require consideration.
He has been most high ~ honored by MS eIectlon
to the City Council and aseat in the Legislature,
and, therefore. really has no claims ut this time
for the responsible position of Mayor: His mod
esty should dictate that he wait awhile before
asking his fellow cit & ms to confer further hon
ors upon him.
Mr.. Il. Ii. bowman IL well annQ IsFolauly
known to this community as an active, enter
prlsing business man, who has the conf 1ence
and respect of his fellow merchants: he is iden-
fed with every enterprise which has been in
augurated in our city since the war he has been
q most active and efficient member OF both
boards of our City Council, and his legislative
experience and leadership have fully fitted him
for the important position of Mayor. His age,
familiarity with our municipal affairs, business
acquaintance and experience, enterprise, indus
try, integrity and manner certainly confer upon
him greater qualifications than either of his co No.
petitors possess. His popularity with hi con
stituents ani his we'll known libera'ity. in po-
ltica contributions and private charities have
endeared him to the people at large, and we
have no doubt his claims to their consideration
in connection with the off 20 of exc utive of our
city government will meet with hearty recog-
milton at thu primary election. TO be held on
Monday next
''Kotation in Office Is good democratic doc
trine. and the o ly way in which parties are
kept to setner aud success assured is by elevatin
to Offices Of honor and trust such indefstig able
workers and consistent party men as K. 4.
