pD- THE COMING CORPORATION ELEc-
T1oN.-The following is sufficient reason
why the gentlemen whose names are
annexed as candidates for councilmen,
should be reelected to the position they
now so acceptably fill; tor they have, as
will be seen, saved the corporation dur
ing their term Of office, by reduction in
salaries, and their serving without com
pensation, sufficient sum TO pay the
interest on its bonded debt:
BY 10 councimen,2 years at 5000 each
per year, $4,000
extra meetings, at SIS each, $4,000
Recorder two years, $1,000
Assessor two years, $4,000
Clock Winder two years, $1,000
Sergeant two years, $4,000
Attorney two years, $4,000
Treasurer two wears, $1,000
per cent. less com. on taxes, $4,000
Total saved in two years, $4,000
The above statement should foot up
$4,000, as the Mayor is allowed $1,000
which is $500 per year more than the
councilmen. But this is not all that
this council has saved the people; they
have reduced taxes and corporation ex
peuses to that extent as to make their
reelection necessity. Read the ticket:

there was no telling what they would do. he
said, ~ understand that some heavy bets

Mr.. William F. KNITTING and Father Riordan,

earlier than usual and gone out for the day.
Father Riordan thereupon sat down and
wrote the following letter, which he left with

hour this morning and took short walk in

and sat in the corridor, his face bright and

they told him what had been done this
