sonal" attacks. Naturally enough, it
has been, and will continue
to be, matter of indifference
to us what our criticisms may be termed
by those concerned, so long as we know
that we have the approval Of the people in
what we say. We claim the right to crit
else the public actions of all public
men and the men seeking pub
lie Offices, and in exercising that
right we propose to talk plainly and
pointedly and yet have no Personal NAL
ICE towards any person we speak OF.
1t is this we would have all our people un
derstand, that we are free from personal
malice in all we say; and this being the
case, the sudden stiffness which has come
over the spinal columns of some of
our citizens, is not only and unexpected,
but amusing
The other day the sun named two men
from each of the five wards in the city, and
spoke of them as fit men to represent the
people in the council, but among the ten
citizens which that great journal mention
ed, it very studiously avoided the naming
Of any OF the present incumbents for re-
election-all of whom are men OF und0ubt-
ed worth, who have served the
people impartiaIy and well. The
gentlemen whose term expires are
Peter Saup, from the First ward; c. X.
Woodward, IRON the Second ward; W p.
Wright, from the Third ward Jas, Kynas-
ton, from the Fourth ward and Thos. W.
Halliday, from the Fifth ward. MessTs.
Wright, Woodward and Saup are expressed
and "stalwar," Republicans, who are gen
orally recognized as valuable members,
and why the Leyce Luminary
should, in its long list OF names, slight
them we are at loss to know. That they
or the other gentlemen whose term expires,
could be induced to again accept the lucra-
tive Office OF alderman, We do not know
but we do know that they compose perhaps
the best aIdermanic material in the city,
and that their friends should urge them
to make the race for reelection.
Henry Ward Bcecher has lately said that it
took four years schooling in the white
house to teach man how to be president,
and the religious organ--THE BULLETIN
may with as much truthsuness say, that q
mans having served in the capacity Of
alderman in the past, only the better fits
him to fill the same position in the future.
! We do not object to the gentlemen the sun
named, since they are all good men, but
we believe that neither OF them are
over anxious to crowd from the track men
whose wisdom and experience 50 emincnty
quality them for reelection, But, however
this may be, we desire to say that the com
inc election should begin to receive the at
tention of our people, and 1t should be agi-
tatcd by them in order that good men may
be induced to announce themselves in time,

in the Quincy Herald Of Sunday We
give the solution Of the puzzle to the pub
