To the Editor Of the Republican.

Mr. Chas. Noack announces himself a. q
candidate for reelection to the office OF
Assessor, and in his card to the public nro
misses to give general satisfaction sherenf,er
as heretofore" This would imply that Mr.
Noack has come to the conclusion that his
work ola year ago has given tire satisfac-
ton, and that there is no chance for improve.
ment. Now this assumption, to say the
least IS piece of egotism eeldom met with
in politics. Had Mr.. N. been content with
a promise to bring his experience of
last year TO bear on his labors las Assessor
in the tuture) such course would rather
have been laudabe than otherwise. But
really, Mr.. Editor, during long residence
in this city, | have never heard as much
complaint about favori tism, jug handle
work &c, &C. as in regard to the last as-
sessment. am willing to excuse Mr.. n. for
the great injustice inflicted in many glariug
instances, if he would plead inexperence
like man, and promise to do better in case
of reelection.
