There is not . man in this city who

the better, but if not then by all means
be sure that the candidate 10 an honest
man. We do not mean in this to say
that Mr.. Vincent our present City Treas.
ursr has not the ability REQUESTS for
the Office, but by long continuance
in the Office having been re elected
twice he has shown that he is at least
honest, and We may add fully capable
to perform the duties Of the Office. Mr..
Vincent was elected to the Office Of City
Ire asurer in 1873 and has held it ever
since Icing reelected In 1878 and 1877,
and we think we can safely say will be
re elected again to morrow. During
those six years in which he has been
Treasurer, nearly @, ,000, 900 has passed
through his hands, and not adollar has
been lost to the city. This shows both
honesty and ability. Now the question
comes, why should anybody want
change in the Office, If they are really
sincere and honest in their desires to
have an honest and competent City
Treasurer Besides these: excellent
qualifications for the Office Mr.. Vincent
is afable, polite and obligipg, making
everybody who may call upon him feel
perfectly At home. There may be per-
sons who understand keeping books by
certain mysterious double or treble en-
try systems, which nobody else under
stands, but there are none who like Mr..
Vincent can more readily At all times
and At any time in the language Of the
honest Dutchman say; "Here ish dc
monisch."
We would not for moment imputs
any dishonest motives to Mr.. Guthrie
the opponent Of Mr.. Vincent, for the
City Treasurership, but judging from
the mystified and jumbled up report Of
the City Finances which he made on
THURSDAY night last to the City Council,
he is certainly not the right man to
enrrust with the important Office of City
Treasurer, no matter how honest he
might prove to be. Between two can
didatss, voters even though they be
extreme partisans, should study long
before voting to displace Mr.. Vincent
true tried and honest, from the Office
Of City Treasurer, simply because he
runs upon the Republican ticket. We
do not believe the people will do it.

OF what ii asserts. The Miner" says !:
wherever in any part Of the world silver
mines have been worked they are worked
now, unless by war. inyasions of Indians,
ETC., the work has been stopped We know
Of no silver mining region in the world
that has given cut. Mexican mines worked
by the Aztecs before the conquest by Cor
iez are still as profitable as ever The old
Spanish mines opened long before Hanni-
balls times are still worked with enormous
profits. The South America mines have
constantly yielded their wealth for more
thar three hundred years, and are as pro-
ductive as ever. Mines in Hungary that
were worked by the Romans before the
time OF Christ, still yield an abundance OF
ore. The silver mines Of Frieburg, opened
in the eleventh century and worked con-
tinuously ever since, yield their steady in
crease. 50 in Norway. Sweden and Rus
STA, and, indeed, Wherever mines have been
opened, without exception we believe. they
