canoe. DR.. Gfimshaw however is well
qualified to Eli the position o. member
and having performed his duties in q
very satisfactory manner, we cannot see
the necessity ef change and therefore
We hope he may be reelected, espeei

made very good member before, would
be NO imp or emsnt at this time.

that there seemed to be a general 40

unite upon come other gentleman of
commerdable ability to take his place.
There icing two members to elect from
that Ward, Mr.. Walter D. Bush, who
has been named as one Of them would
be an excellent selection.
Until yesterday there seemed to be
no opposition to the elect on Of Mr.. r.
c. Esai~, f1Cm the Sixth Ward, ss Mr..
Eeks-'s successor, but now it is said
that Jaoe5 Pusey has confented to bs a
eandidats. Either Of the gentlemen
named ssould make q capital member
OF tie Board, Mr.. Fraim having
sefvuG oaree terms in that capacity,
and gave very general satisfaction.
Mr.. Ffaim however has only consented
to be a candidate provided there was
no opposition 10 his election in the
Ward, and now that Mr.. Pusey is in
the fed, Mr.. Fraim may probably
withdraw.
1t is aaid that in the Eighth Ward
the Democrats have nominated Ex-
CouD Gilman Hazlett for election to the
Board. The Democrats of that Ward
could have done better than that,
though MIR. Hszlett is known as very
considerations and upright gentleman,
but while these qualities are commend
able, there can le but one opinion in
regard to his lack of educational quail
tiles which sre specially necessary in
members of the Board OF Education.
Mr.. Hsz!ett did n axe very c ood mem
ber of Council where good common sense
more than educational al ility was
required, and he might make a very
good member Of that tody a. ain when
ever the Dem ocrats see proper to elect
him, but lie would bs sadly cat Of
