THE GAZETTE FOR 1879.

THE BALTIMORE GAZETTE is a dali
newspaper which appeals to the publ c
solely on its merits as journal of the
day. 1t is compendium of news at home
and abroad, each event being written, pre-
pared and edited according TO its relative
importance. Not line appears in TIE
| GAZETTE which is not useful or instruct
i've. 1t essays to give the news in nut
shell at a price in keeping with the
economical demands of the times
THE GAZETTE has opinions and it ex-
presses them daily in terse and pointed
English. 1t is thoroughly Democratic in
IT'S teachings and tendencies, but independ-
ent of all corrupt rings, cliques Or factious
Oligarchies. THE GAZETTE believes that
the principles of the Democratic party
should prevail. To that end it will labor
to place the Democratic party in power
and thereby bring about much needed
change in the administration of the Gov
eminent. In Municipal, State and Ma
tional politics THE GAZETTE will lend it's
aid to the representatives of Democratic
principles. A great struggle for political
mastery is coming on. In 1890 another
battle for the Presidency will be fought
The Importance of such newspaper as
The GAZETTE in educating, organizing
and preparing the people for this contest
cannot be over estimated. The News,
Editorial and Local features of THE Ca
zETTE will be thoroughly maintained and
improved during the year. The depart
ment of Foreign Correspondence has at
tanned a standard unequaled in Baltimore
journalism, and as whole there is no
daily journal in the country which con-
tains so many popular features furnished
at such popular prices,
The BALTIMORE WEEKLY GAZETTE Is
folio journal, same size as the Daily,
which contains every week an epitome of
Home and Foreign News, Charming
Stories, Entertaining Miscellany Complete
Market Reports, Corr oondence, Editor
ials and Family Readn.,, all selected with
care and with especial reference to the
needs of the people who are unable by
reason of location or circumstances to
take daily paper.
THE BALTIMORE DAILY GAZETTE is fur
ntsaed at So per gear to mai subscribers,

The present political camraign in
this county promises to be most lively
and interesting. If any man wants
to become famous, let him step into
the MINING JOURNAL Office, and hand
the manager $500, and order his
name announced for an office. Don t
cover your light under bushel, gen
tlemen. The time is past ard gone
when the Office seeks the man. We
are away beyond that. If you want
honors to come thick and fast upon
you, announce yourself in the MIN
ING JOURNAL as a candidate for Of
fee Every man in the county will
then be looking you up to treat you,
There is so much rumble and hustle
and hurry burly in the world now
that you can never become famous
unless you step to the front, and an
nounce your name for an office in
live, progressive and widely -circulat-
ed newspaper, and strip off your coat,
roll up your sleeves and go to work.
The old Roman politicians loafed
around the market-places to speak to
the people, shook them by the hand
and asked them for their votes, This
was Julius Cesar plan. It worked
admirably about two thousand years
ago, but it won't answer now. If
there had been a newspaper in Rome
Julius Cesar would have been the
first in the sanctum with five dollars.
1t IS not the money we want, not at
all, but we do want our friends of all
political parties to become famous.
Don't be backward, gentlemen; pre-
cious moments are gliding by with
wonderful swiftness. Adapted from
the Baltimore Morning Herald.

"CoL. ScHLEy has lost his pocket
book" and the Times continues to re-
mark that he 'advertises for its return
in another column" If it's one of
the Saratoga persuasion the Times
will have to bosom widening, or sur
render a double column. Which
reminds US of the man who didn't
care for the overcharge Of gallon of
molasses in hslf-gallon Jug, but he
did object to the strain on the Jug.

ship existing between the Counties of
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion TO visit the City frequently dur

matter of justice thai some discrimination
should be made in their favor. | have

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-02-08

The only business of any considerable interest
at the council meeting Of last Tuesday evening
was the motion by Aid. Hoban to eXpunge the
record of cX.aldermen q. w. w. Bakc's expulsion
from the council of ISIS. Mr.. Hoban said, he
had always opposed the expulsion Of Mr. Blake
rs unjus: and he did not believe he had been lc-
gally expelled furthermore, Mr.. Blake Is still a
young man, and it does not seem right to have
this record standing against him. Mayor Lynch
said he had examined into the matter carefully at
the time, and thought the council then misun.
derstood the facts, and that more attention should
bc paid to The subject than a mere vote cNpung-
ling the record. Hull asked If the cXpunging
would be lawful. Lynch continued by saying
neither Kennedy nor Blake knew at the time
what they were doing, being in liquor, and
thought full statement OF the facts ought 10 be
made, which would undoubtedly entitle
Blake to the vote proposed. Mr.. Phelps said he
thought the past council acted rightly in what
! cy did, though out Of consideration FOR Blake
he was willing to eXpungc the record; but he was
not willing 10 go back and say the council did
not know what they were doing. Mr. Logan
said he WAS in the council ~ the time and voted
for the resolution Of expulsion. Though he
thought Blake better man now and he had 4
friendly regard for him, he then voted according
to the evidence and when Capt. Kennedy gave
| his evidence to the council he certainly knew
what he was doing. He didn't like to 20 back
and cast any reflections on the past council-hC
should stand by that council Notwithstanding his
feelings for Blake. Catn said he was friend y
disposed towards Blake but he did not think il
quite proper to cypunge the record" it is go
! ing beyond our duty | think" Nor did he set
! that such step would clear Blake's character
" 1t is not right for to pass criticisms on the
acts of former council. At any rate he was not
very familiar with the facts and would like &c
have the matter postponed, which Hoban OPP
posed. Logan suggested that this council had
no right to eXpunge the record. The matter
was referred to Catlin Hull and Ioban to inves
tigatc and report.
! Among the bills were: 80 for a regulator at the
engine house to ring the bell by; S2S for a night
watch at the engine house, 1878 Buffers back
pay; 1862 for gas for one month at the engine
house; 500 20 for gas for street lamps; $3.50 fol
! lighting same; S9.63 interest ON loan; SOD fol
shipping tramps and woman from town. $3.50
boarding prisoners and tramps; $1,000 for rubber
coats 81 for rubber boots, and S3O,54 for street
