There is to be to-day another trial for
the election of Mayor of this city. Let all
those who voted for JOSEPH W. PAT
TERSON a week ago yesterday prepare to
do likewise to-day. Mr.. Patterson is the
regular candidate of the republican party
nominated according to the usages of
the party by one of the largest and best
caucuses ever held in this city-and is en-
titled to the support of every republican
voter.
We trust that the sober, second thought
Of those republicans who did not vote for
Mr.. Patterson at the last election, but cast
their votes for ''citizeus candidate $50
called), will lead them to vote to-day for
Mr.. Patterson. There is no argument
whatever for the support of citizens
candidate for Mayor since the republicans
have gained control of the city govern
ment. The character of the city govern
ment was established last Monday week
beyond the possibility of II change until
next March The election of a citizens
candidate to the Mayorality Gf that were
possible) would not change the complexion
of the city government in the least. The
government is republican and will remain
republican let who will be elected Mayor.
II it was the wish of those republicans
who voted for the citizens candidate to
have partisan administration, they
must see that that wish cannot now be an
swered even though their candidate foi
Mayor could be elected, and we therefore
hope that they will come heartily to the
support of the regular republican candi
date, Hon. JOSEPH W. PATTERSON.
Mr.. Patterson has beea elected Mayor
of the city, and served in that capacity
three years. He is thoroughly acquainted
with all our municipal affairs. No man
within our borders is better adapted to fill
the first place in the city government in
these times when economy is so loudly
demanded than Mr.. Patterson Surely if
our citizens desire Mayor who is capable,
honest, careful to guard the treasury and
look after all the interests of the city with
strict fidelity, Mr.. Patterson is the very
man to elect.
Let the republicans of Augusta then
rally strongly to-day for Mr.. Patterson.
Let them do as the republicans of Els
worth and Rockland did-stand to theil
guns faithfully through every contest and
bear off the victory at last.
We urge all republicans to vote ant
work to-day for the election of JOSEPH
w. PATTERSON.

One Of them requires that a person shall
not drink during business hours; another
that the signer shall never use any intoxi'

wine or ale, and then ut meal time only; n
third, that the signer will neither treat"
