Isn't this formidable array OF candi-
dates? 1t would seem that out OF so
many names good candidates could be
selected, and for the prosperity OF our
city and township, We sincerely hope
the very best men will come out on top
this evening. The important interests
of our election seem to have centered IN
the Mayor, the Marshal and School
Board. OF course the Mayoralty and
Marshalship are the prominent offices,
but the election Of the School Board
seems 10 lead all other offices in interest.
The Democrats are hopeful that Mr..
George Criswell will walk oil with tie
hOnors to-day. A very large number OF
our people remember that he put his
foot down, when formerly Mayor, on
the arbitrary transactions OF corporations,
and that he was the leading spirit that
started the ball in motion that gave to
the use of the city the Public Square.
lie is also held in high esteem in the
Fifth ward because he secured To the
public use well in that ward that had
been claimed by private parties and
would have been lost 10 the public had
he not, with his cOmmendable decision,
put his foot down on the matter
and through the restraining injuncuons
against its private use, gave its Tree wa
lcrs 10 the people of that ward. Other
important acts of Mr.. Crisswell during
his administration endear him To the
public, and the Democrats confidently
expect his election. The Republican
candidate, Mr.. Cassell, though elected
by the Republicans and Greenbackers
at the former election, has performed
the duties of his office well, and he Re
publicans, falling in with their usage OF
trying To nominate the strongest man,
have put him in the field. We are not
aware that any of his official actions
have been questioned, and his personal
popularity In above reproach, therefore
we look for very lively competition
between the candidates Tor the Mayor
atty.
The candidates for City Marshal are
both competent and worthy gentlemen
and will each receive the full vote OF
his party.
Several things during the municipal
canvass here demonstrated the necessity
Reorganization. Isn't there n single lead
ing spirit who will organize n Demo
cratic club. We need one and must
have il. We need system as much as
We need votes, and the sooner this is
patent "the quicker"
