Not exactly, on the contrary he will run,

gTFrank Gunnell, who has accepted
the nomination of treasurer on the oppo-

improving contingent property. Vote for
Mckinnie for mayor.
e6rCapt Kohler, the republican candi-
date for collector is a man everyday quail
fed for the position. He is not politician
and is the superior of his opponent, Grover
in every essential requisite for the Office tc

be elected. Grover is chronic Office
seeker and is ready and willing to take any
thing in the shape of political pap.

neut of the republican party in the nationa
contest of 1872, aud CAM his most intimate
friends show by his subscriptions to cam
paign funds, or by his votes during thu

citement of July 1877 was on the side O
law and order2 Did he then use his per
sonal influence as man and mayor Of the
city to assuage the unnatural excitemen
and for the promotion of harmony AMI

We will not say anything about tn,
manner 10 which the public monies hay,
