Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1880-02-17

Mayor MacGonisle is so little interested
in the result of his administration, being
no owner of property nor taxpayer, either
IN the city or county, that it is a danger
ous experiment to make him fixture in
the mayors Office.
AS noticed elsewhere this is Il fabrca-
tiOn-a wilful mis-statement. Mr.. Mac
GOnigle is an extensive r5 al estate owner.
and has more unincumbered interests
than the Republican candidate.
The Erdniner of last evening says
Mr.. MacGonigle owns no real estate and
pays no tax in this city. This is lie
cut from the whole cloth, and known to
he such by those who published it. Mr..
MacGOEigle owns more uIincumbered
real estate in Lancaster than Mr.. Boring.
SO many alleged signers to the Bor-
ing paper repudiated the publication
of their names, that the second chapter
was not published as promised. We
looked in vain through the Erdn,i,cr and
Ncr Era last evening to find the second
batch. Where are they: Gone to vote
for Mace onigle.
TIE time for argument is past. Go
and vote.
TIE young voter who casts his first
ballot today never had Il finer oppOrtu-
nsty to begin career of political wisdom
ant. independence than by voting for our
present chief magistrate, John L. Mac
Gonigle.
THE polls remain open until : O'Clock.
Should anything have prevented the
reader from getting there before this
meets his eye, he will do we'll to remem-
ber that it may yet not he too late.
ONE failure to vote might turn the
city ovcr to the Iingsters, advocates OF
more debt and higher taxes. TO the
polls and vote for MacGOnigle.
The polls remain open until seven
O'Clock. Plenty OF time to get :,nofilel
one in for MacGonigle.

"Now you have seen one ruin more. >
