Daily Republican., 1879-08-26
The Nomination.

Nearly all the nominations Tor City
Council and city and ward officers have
been made by both the leading parties.
The exceptions are the Democratic nom
nations in the First Ward, and the
Republican nominations in the Second
and Tenth wards. A glance at the
nominees at this time will not be out
Of place.
For President Of the City Council the
Republicans nominated NJ. L. Lich-
tenstsin, who for the last four years has
presided with dignity and impartial fair
ness that has ELECTED the administra-
tion and praise of both parties, and
being an old citizen and taxpayer he
has always practiced economy and had
the best interests of the city at heart.
This being the case then there can be
no good reason why Mr.. Lichtenstein
should not be reelected His opponent.
Harry sharpley, ESQ.,, the Democratic
nominee, is an excellent young man of
good character, but scarcely a resident
Of the city, and even now repre-
sents Brandywine Hundred in the
State Senate. With the excep-
ton of poll tax which he has paid
for possibly two years, he has never
paid any thing for the support of the
city. He IS not freeholder according
to the requirements Of the law, and if
made eligible for the Office it will have
to be by very questionable mode. Be-
sides all this he has been so short time
resident of the city as to be unacq uaint-
ed with its needs. Between these two
candidates there should be but little
hesitation in making Mr.. Lichtenstein
the choice.
For City Treasurer the Republicans
have re-nominated Francis Vincent, and
the Democrats have ramed John Guth.
rie, now a member of Council from the
First Ward, as his opponent. Mr.. Vim.
cent has been City Treasurer for the
past eight or nine years and although
in that time between two and three
millions of dollars have passed through
his hasds the City has not lost a dollar.
Besides Mr.. Vincent is fully capable OF
f performing all the duties pertaining to
the Office, and being affable, polite,
I obliging and needy OF the Office, there
I certainly can be no good,reason for max
4 ing change and taking an untried mar
!. like Mr.. Guthrie, though the lattsI
a may make very good Treasurer.
yI In the First Ward the Republican
II have nominated John Alden, the groce
at Second and Washington, for Council
and if the citizens of that ward reall,
q want an able, conscientious representa-
% ton in Council, they will elect Mr.. AL
- den. The Democrats have made n
nomination in this ward yet.
The Democrats of the Second War
q re- nominated Robert Taylor, hut tn
- Republicans have not made any nomi
= nation yet.
4 In the Third Ward Samuel A. Price
i, Jr., has been re-nominated. His pas
:. two years service in Conncil has bee
\. such that there should be no hesitatio
a in sending him back. William H
W Blake is his Democratic opponent.
:, In the Fourth Ward John Fehrer
bach, substantial and solid tax. paye
;. has been nominated by the Republ
X cans for the two year term in oppos
70 tien to Lewis Paynter the present men
"a ber. Mr.. Fehrenbach will no dout
10 make an able member of Council, an
d being popular in the ward his electio
10 is by no means uncertain. Thoms
x Kelly an influential Republican is n
4. commended as the candidate for IL
,e one year term in opposition to Mr.. Ge
III Abele.
a. In the Fifth Ward the Republican
have nominated Henry Evans for tn
o. two year term, and Alfred Gawthrop #
10 the one year term. Their opponent
sr are James Carmichael for two years, an
n Alvin Allen for one year. Messr
Evans and Gawthrep are we'll know
v business men. and should he elected b
to an old time Fifth Ward majority.
40 In the Sixth Ward Joseph K. Adam
NJ has been re nominated for third tern
and opposed to him is James H. Pric'

The Seventh Ward has been fort
nate in the selection Of Caesar A.Rodnt
ot as the Republican candidate, while o
id posed to him is John Macklem. NJ
i. Rodney's election is assured, thong
his ability should equally insure it
ne any ward in the city.
A. William H. White,a popular carter,
,r. the Republican nominee in the Eight
ba Ward, while opposed to MIN is Ex Cou
Gilman William McMenamin who

90. him very unpopular. Mr.. White is 1
IS. intelligent and industrious citizen al
l., would make an excellent member
" Council. This Ward is very close, b
Wy Whites election is predicted even
to Democrats.
